Leslassa Armour-Shillingford- Castle Comfort

Fatima Noel- San Sauveur

Melinda Ulysses- Stockfarm

    Note as an Assistant, the ladies had training in walking, speech and talent and even the opening number. They were told that they had to source outfits from past Queens and Contestants and even model for stores. They also had a dress rehearsal. They had two weeks of training. If any Asistant said she spent money is because she wanted to spend – it was a Pre-Show so DFC did not have to give money. I felt the QSC did a very good job with the girls. What we need to do when we are assisting ladies is not laud our authority on them, intimedate them. Its bad to be a talker like we are the best and do everything. Some persons like to puch themselves on the ladies – I think the Committee should allow the ladies to work with who they are comfortable with.

    Great Show! QSC

    Thanks DNO for the pictures after the show. My comments is coming from a different angle;since I have been following and orgsnizing pageants from 1983 when Norma Rolls won. The show have evolved from a pretty face and the ability to deliver a promotional speech, to one of talent, being able to do an on stage interview, a muscle toned body for swimwear and modelling skills (NOT POSE). Talent is someone’s natural ability to do something. It is something that you are gifted at, and not learnt for 3 weeks or 3 months i.e learning to play a particular song on pan or any order instrument. It is not about someone writing a piece of hot social commentary and one go out and talk about it. It is acting that is the talent not talking. The current titleholder, a beautiful girl, but no natural talent. On Saturday wnight, two girls played the panio, one danced; one sang and one played the saxophone. If they were natural, not learnt for the pre show. Then it is worthy of being considered a Performing Talent. One can only remember Francillia Agar. I am advocate for an off stage interview, where the delegates are questioned by Media Personnels on matters current locally, regionally and internationally. An interview is not about the correct answer; it not about what the crowd would like. It about grace under pressure. It is about mastery of the language( English or Creole) . It is about your delivery and eye contact. And yes, one may stumble and still have a good interview. Kamala Jno.Baptiste Barron was a fine example of being able to master that segment.
    Someone can teach you to walk/model but one must come with good posture. Dancer are good walker/modelling. They walk naturally. Good examples that I can recall: Martha
    Augustus, Nakita Bruno, Leandra Lander and the current queen.
    Our girls should stop thinking locally. There are competition of a simple nature elsewhere; do your homework. Be up to date with the news. The question is do we have the kind of delegate that I have just described? Yes; there is more than one ( Amour Shillingford and Foyer). They should not have been competing together this year. We need to maintain Dominica’s winning stick in the regional pageants. We need to maintain the current QSC. Sponsorship should not be a problem as the firms have the crop of girls who could represent them.

    • Michelle
      September 25, 2012

      I agree with the post. It certainly makes sense. The Armour Shillingford and Royer girls (The last name is Royer not Foyer) do have what it takes. They speak well naturally, not a rehearsed speech and they are naturally well rounded kids. I am not sure however we can decide that they not compete together.
      I agree that the Sponsors have no problems in selecting girls this year. They are the cream of the crop.

      What are you trying to say. In this speech you promoting yourself and other people to cover your tracks

  14. the truth
    September 24, 2012

    i didn’t witness the show but from what am reading kelshia,daina, and this jeanne girl nailed it congrats to them n the others .but its also great too seeing that the girls show off their real talents, like melc doing the piano de other girl doing the ballet and the other saxophone. years and years have gone by and same old boring talents like boring skits, boring speeches without a clear msg and not forgetting horible singing they chooses and they know they et bless with that golden voice. in the talent round but 2013 looks completely different in talent round, talent is what u were born to do not what u do because its named “talent round’.

  16. Give Tasia a Break
    September 24, 2012

    I don’t think some of you know how hard young ladies have to work to take part in a pageant such as this…the girls had 2 weeks to prepare and did amazingly well….to those commenting on the young lady from Atkinson’s evening wear STOP BEING RIDICULOUS….i dont think the girls would have been judged on the material of their dress especially since they had 2 weeks to get one and had to borrow from others….its all about how you carry yourself in the dress…some of the grls cudnt walk in their “LONG GORGEOUS DRESSES” and this grl walked very well….her talent was gud….her swimwear was good. it didnt have to be fancy she stood tall and worked the stage….her question and answer was also well done…..sumfing as simple as the colour of a dress or length cannot be used to justify why she did not get through….GIVE ALL THE GIRLS CREDIT BECAUSE IT TAKES A LOT TO FACE THE PUBLIC N KEEP THINGS together…NO ONE knows what happens behind the scenes

    • Michelle
      September 25, 2012

      Her dress was NOT a pageant evening gown. Let’s face it. Tassia did not make it simplye because:
      Her swimsuit was borderline
      Her talent was ok
      Her evening wear was borderline
      Her interview was good.

      Another contestant who was good in three rounds, and not the best in the interview would have made it before her ok.

    The show was a great show and the ladies performed to the best of their ability on Saturday night. Congratulations to all the ladies who made it and to those who didn’t I believe some of you should try again next year. The host and co-host of the show did an outstanding job. The show was also well attended. One thing I was immensely disappointed in is the manner in which we were allowed to enter Arawak. In my opinion when so many people purchase tickets to attend a show there should be more than one entrance. People were literally pushing on each other to get through that front entrance. This was really embarrassing. Imagine ladies well dressed and they had to go through a war just to get inside. This was ridiculous and could be avoided. The fact of the matter is DFC knew how many tickets were sold and should have catered for entrance to the show properly. Also additional tickets should not be sold after the maximum seating capacity of Arawak was met. People were seating on chairs in the isles making it impossible to go to and through the isle in case of an emergency. It was a great show and I’m looking forward to Carnival Queen Show 2013

    I do not believe that points should be given for what the ladies wore but for the performance in whatever they wore since they only had two weeks to prepare for this show. They had to burrow from former queens amoung others.When this continues to be done at at small preshow then not everyone is playing on a level playing field and some of the delegates are at a disadvantage….

    Lassa is well rounded, she would be a great representation for our country. From what i know about this young lady, her talent was something she naturally does… DANCE! she has an amazing swimsuit body maybe because of her vegetarian diet and usual hiking and natural adventurous spirit. Kelshia is the people’s Queen, it is obvious. She is very good but her height does nto cut it for me. Sorry. It doesnt matter what the outcome is, each and every one of these girls should use this opportunity to better them selves. The competition is tight. Ask for Tasia, she was very good but what people need to understand is a few things wont make you place. you need enough points to get by. I was sorta disappointed she did not make it but the “material” of her evening wear did not make it. I have my own opinion and many of you may or may not like this comment but it is what it is. Mel-C, Noel, Nikishia and Daina are also good competitors.

  29. BETTER CAN BE DONE
    September 24, 2012

    This looks like a Southern Dominica Carnivall Queen Pageant. While it may not have been the intention of the Carnival Committee that is what it looks like. I think to make the Competition more competitive, the first leg of the event should be conducted on a parish/district level the top contestants represents the parish/district. In that way you include everyone and avoid people concluding otherwise.

    The are ten parishes you you could have 10 contestants or the are seven districts you could have seven contestants

    Work with the communities. They can organize the elimination process and select the best to represent their district

    The way this carnival is organized leaves much to be desired… no wonder sponsors/partners are hesitant… BETTER CAN BE DONE!!! :wink:

      give jack his jacket! and give jackie her lipstick! the northern communities should have pulled together to send their best representative forward instead instead of bawling after show.

      AFTER THE SHOW IS TOO LATE ou paca copan before the show everyone quiet. and most of these girls have roots in the north just look at their surnames

    • Reminder
      September 24, 2012

      “Better can be done” people like you think its you alone that have ideas. So help your community to send a girl up. So if people like you heldp then I guess sponsors/partnerswill come. All you just do not like to commend people for work done.

      “Better can be done” Everybody knows its only you who can do such things nobody can.(Make-up, hair, talk, dress, poise, communicate etc) So stop dat and commend the QSC for a job well done. You know dat to well – the show was great. People enjoyed it. Say that and stop critizing. You all are really jealous of those people man. Every year is the same set of you all critizing for critizing sake.

    lassa was consistant her talent was natural her walk was the best for eveing wear and swimwear she was alive on stage……….. it was a pre show and those girls come like it was the night of the real show, i want to see how they will top that. but lassa is the best suited for queen!

  39. stacy
    September 23, 2012

    I must say that this preshow has so many disadvantages to it; Firstly, there is an unfair advantage placed on the young ladies who have very little pageant experience as well as close contact with persons who have participated in previous shows. I looked at the show and there were at least 3 girls wearing outfits and swimwear from the current queen’s wardrobe.

    Also, to expose these young women to the public and have them leave without getting chosen is truly heartbreaking and in so many ways can lead to a break in self esteem.

    Another observation made is that there was not one girl chosen from the north of the island. Had DFC and the Queen Show Committee made their decisions indoors and through interviews, there could have been the even spread of ladies around the island instead of the majority of contestants coming from the city area because they essentially know people who know people.

    At this point, i am left to conclude that the committee was only concerned about making a couple bucks instead of doing the traditional hard work of recruiting and proper thorough training of young ladies despite what they could bring to the table in advance.

    I would like to say Kudos to the young ladies of the North.

    At this point, i am left

    September 23, 2012

    i came to the show with no favorites however it was clear to see that the crowd embrassed the young ladies from St Joe and Laudat. all the ladies did exceptionally well however there was only space for 7. Ms Floissac had a lovely talent however she couldnt have been selected only based of that. the fit of her swim suit was less than average and her evening wear was mediocre. she did answer her question well though. the seven ladies deserved there spot and there isnt 1 that i would replaced. Ms St Joe should get a special shout out because she was consistent and did remarkable! i still dont have a favorite but i’m just being fair about what was presented on that stage last night. cant wait for the final show. good luck to all the ladies

WHEN THEIR FAVORITE DOESN’T WIN THEY CALL FOUL OR CHEAT… THE NEXT IS THE BYSTANDER EFFECT THAT OCCURS! ONE SET STARTED TO BAWL OUT THAT FLOSSAIC SHOULD BE IN AND OTHERS FOLLOW THE BANWAGOON.

    I’m actually pleasantly surprised by the photos. The girls look put together. The bathing suits aren’t revealing and hoochie……………..The girls look elegant! They look toned and healthy. Some need a little leg workout but the majority of them are physically appealing. The dresses were good and if that’s the bar they’re setting at this level I can only imagine on the night of the queen show to expect perfection. Finally this might actually be a queen show worth watching!

      I wanted to add that one young lady is playing the piano, another is doing ballet, there’s another creative enough to perform in a mask of some type. I mean we actually have talent here. I’m impressed. I just can’t take anymore queens coming on the stage yelling and ranting for 20 mins and calling it talent. I want to see what I’ve seen in those images replicated on stage 2013!

        Dude seriously, you have to answer everybody’s comment???? please take it easy whoever you are. it’s not that serious. The floissac girl could have be cut out by one point. that’s just how the cookie crumbles and people have their right to express their opinion about the show. If they felt that she should have make it that is their feeling for them to express.

    I’m still left to wonder why wasn’t Tassia Flossiac chosen. That’s just the beginning let’s see who next. Still got 5 months to go.

    It is sad that we still cant be fair at a queen show be it preshow or whatever this young lady from Atkinson deserved a spot she was consistent all through. Shame

      September 23, 2012

      Shame that you have allowed you bias nature to cloud your vision and understanding. that your favorite coming to the show has to accumulate judging points NOT YOUR CROWD SUPPORT. if the judge points don’t make her qualify, the decision is final…

      • Stupes
        September 24, 2012

        HATER get lost….I guess you cant qualify for anything bcuz you dont have beauty,brains,class and talent! give the girl a damn break at least she had the confidence to go up on stage and did really good, while you sit hiding behind a screen talking!

    Congrats to all the lovely ladies who made it! All the best! However from the show that i witnessed, Tassia Flossaic had surely secured a place in the top 7 and the judges did an injustice to this young lady.

    That was a difficult task last night. The girls all performed like it was a final queen show night! I enjoyed Jeanne in evening wear and her answer was great too. Lassa was also great and the young lady representing Laudat. In fact all were lovely so may the best girl win! But I want Jeanne to win most!!

  66. Laudat
    September 23, 2012

    The Philbert girl from Laudat was awesome too! I gave her best talent, then Lassa. Jeanne was best evening wear and best in it too. I think the swimsuit round was up for grabs.

    I really don’t think that these young ladies should have been chosen based on their capacity now, because most contestants improve over time, so they should have been given the chance. Most of these girls have no formal training, and some just happened to have an unfair advantage. From past years, it has also been proven that some of the young ladies who have done horribly in the pre show have done an awesome job at queen show.

    I went to this show supporting no one in particular as I knew none of the girls personally however I believe Ms Floissac (not sure how it spells) should have been in the top 7!

    • Carlvin
      September 23, 2012

      wHO WOULD YOU TAKE OUT – ITS TOP 7 – accept and move on all you like to much row row. Everytime something good happens all you always negative and giving the girls the feeling they were the best when they were not

        I mean praise the Committee they did a great job putting a show of this magnitude together in two week, training the girls etc. I want to see the actual show

    all the girls did GREAT! Here are the facts:
    They had two weeks to prepare for this show
    They had no sponsorship from dfc
    They had 6 practices
    They all tried their best and no one can doubt that

        September 24, 2012

        I think you meant to say that the girls and the persons who assisted them in preparing financially and otherwise need to be commended. Two weeks is too short a time to prepare and they seem to have done a good job.

      • Q
        September 24, 2012

        as a chaperone assistant>>>DFC had nothing to do with the girls performances………the girls pushed it all on their own. i commend all the girls for being so professional under these circumstances and also with minimal support and such a short space of time to prepare for such a big show. good luck ladies!!

      • an.
        September 24, 2012

        no no. i was there. and i know alot what it called for. i simply think her dress brought her down. but she was very good in all the other rounds. would have placed her above mel-c. mel-c ‘s talent was very good but after that she wasn’t spectacular at all. i have a lot of experience in queen show business and have family members who have judged shows both locally and regionally. so looking at everything overall mel-c couldnt have pass her by much.

    • Dennis A.
      September 25, 2012

      In my professional opinion, I do not think you are qualified enough to state where one girl can come over the other. I would leave that in the hands of the judges. With that said, I do not think you can make such a rash decision about Mel-C. In the question and answer round, she clearly she answered from the top of her head, unlike other girls who clearly memorized their answers; some of who have been praised on this blog. Not only did Tasia’s dress let her down, overall her singing quality lacked, as a musician I could hear she was off in places. It’s not just having a talent but doing it WELL. Mel-C not only killed the talent but had one of the best walks for the evening.

    Why was the crowd favourtie left out? I wonder if the judges watched the same show we watched. Tasia was the crowd favourite. she performed all her parts with grace and poise and she did not attain a place out of seven! My jaw dropped when the last name was announced.

    • Fan
      September 23, 2012

      She was NOT the crowd favourite, yes she was a favourite but everyone came to support their people.. She answered her question great, her talent was good, swimsuit was ok, evening wear was horrible. Sometimes we have to look at what sections weighs heavier.

      EH EH i WAS THERE THE CROWD FAVOURITE WAS MS. ST. JOSEPH ALL YOU MUST STOP DAT. THE JUDGING WAS FEAR

        September 23, 2012

        While I do not think the Philbert girl was bad, you are not correct. You mean Mel-C from stockfarm who was questionable would have been first runner up and lassa second runner up, then Kelshia, then Jeanne, then Noel girl, then Daina? You dead wrong Iree!
