THEY TRIED SO HARD FOR EARLENE TO WIN … IM GLAD SHE DID NOT WIN THATS WHAT HAPPEN WHEN PEOPLE FOOL THEMSELVES……………. BIG UP TO JACI…. PROUD OF YOU SO MUCH ….. RUTH YOU DID WELL… MICHELLE DESERVE TO PLACE…….. MISS PHOTOGENIC IS RUTH AUGUSTINE ……. BEST IN SWIM WEAR WAS RUTH EARLENE WALKED ON A SIDE…. NASHA YOU DID WELL BABY…. ROSILLIA PROUD OF YOU……………………… GREAT SHOWLADIES………………. THE QUESTION AND ANSWER WAS CRAP..YALL NEED TO DO BETTER ….. ALL THE BEST IN LIFE…
sorry ruth….thats wat happens when ur chaperones r evil to hear u canna sing and still send u on stage with a voice like that….i wud not advise any young woman going up 4 queen to let mrs walsh and crew chaperone dem…u didnt do it ur way…u did it their way and LOST………..
lol lol she lost yes…………………. but she is a winner in my book so get real
Earlene you did great… thanks for representing our area and congratulations…
Why all of them wearing the same shoe for the swim wear round??….Hmmm thought they chose there own accessories.
Which Question did Jacintha answered?
Boohoo who think they better than the judges .. you guys suck !!!
I Believe that the show was judged well and that the only reason people thought they cheat is that THE COMPETION WAS TIGHT!
I think the show was judge well myself..being a judge of this year show, contestant number 7 could have won the crown but what throw her off was question and answer. But Ms. Jacintha did a great job. The first contestant was also in the running but again too there were only three spots
Congrats Jacinta-
ANYBODY who saw cellulite where Earlene is concerned needed glasses. She was the best toned, muscle for so -with the flattest stomach- certainly endorsed by the radio announcers on DBS.
How could Michelle ever be placed when she came LAST in swimwear, ONE BEFORE THE LAST in costume and ONE BEFORE THE LAST in evening wear? -that big ill-fitting dress….. Best talent my foot- She went very flat and off-key during the song-watch Marpin or SAT when they play the show and check it
you seem to know a lot, maybe you were one of the judges who were keen on scoring her low points before even seeing what she could do, because all you had your favourite already.
so wat if she was of key at some point her talent was still the best out of all them….her presentation was was perfect and no other contestant could of beaten her presentation, the song she sang was perfect an fit her talent and the atmosphere she was trying to give of…AND SHE HAD A REAL TALENT!!!!! which is playing the violin..that is a real talent and she did a great job and she sang really well….that was one of the best talents i have even seen in a pageant held in a D/c..she deserved best talent and no one else on that stage could of gotten best talent.
I have to agree with you. Earlene Labassiere was the best toned there and her swimwear was the best fit, even her evening wear was the best fitted. I have to also agree with you as someone in music myself, Michelle did go flat in her singing and her violin playing was very safe, no special challenge in her technique and no challenging cords. People in Dominica must not be fooled by a musical instrument, they must know about music and the skill and technique involved in playing. I think the best talent should have gone to either Earlene who sang beautifully, she had skill and the vibrato in her voice is a technique that is developed by singers years after training, I was surprised at her technique and voice control, and even word endings were very good she was excellent. Again someone would have to be in music to understand and appreciate what she did or even Jacintha sang beautifully. Many people also say that Michelle should place I have to disagree because her swimwear round was horrible, her evening wear round was horrible the dress was not fitted well at all and even her costume round she did not carry the costume well. As it relates to the question and answer Michelle did deserve this award, I think the other contestants were very nervous and as a result did not take their time to answer. This does not mean that the girls could not answer it just means that they were nervous.
I think the show was well judged. Congratulations to all the young ladies.
Well ms. interested i think u need to check urself with those comments made on Earlene voice.. it clearly showed that the judges were right she was a mess in talent
The crown is tooooo big. Who did that?
Yes the crown is much too big….the queen show committee must get a smaller crown, it looks ridiculous.
WHO VEX LOST CONGRATS MS FAGAN REPRESENT US WELL……….EARLENE YOU REPRESENTED UR VILLAGES WELL KEEP IT UP. DOMINICANS TO LIK TO CRITICIZE Y ALL U DIDNT GO UP?D DECISION MAKE ALREADY DEAL WITH IT……….STUUUPES MAN…….MAYBE TEY DIDNT JUDGE FAIR BUT ONLY ONE SET OF PPL CANT GET POSITION D R OTHERS TO.I CYA BELIEVE EH.LL U JUS DR BAB YAYIN Y ALL U DOE GO UP INSTEAD?MICHELLE WAS A HOT MESS….HMMMMM DOMINICANS NOWADAYS ALL THEY CAN DO IS CRITICISE GIVE OTHERS A TIME TO SHINE AND STOP HATING
Fagan was never my choice or even a contender for me on the night but I still say congratulations as we all need to agree that the judges decision is final!!! As an avid pageant fanatic, I advise you:
1) tone up- ur body did not look well in that swimsuit
2) listen to the news- u need to keep abreast with current events so that u are capable of answering questions at the regional pageants
3) get a better dress maker- let the designer or designers look at current fashion trends, urs was passively acceptable but still on the horrible side
These comments are to build u up, not break u down. U have big shoes to fill if u are to represent us as well as Marcia, Marah, Leandra and Nakita.
Best of luck….I’ll be watching!!!
Congratulations Jacintha,
I was rooting for you form the very start…….the show was very well done and put together and I couldn’t be more excited for the results. All God’s blessings as you prepare for your regional competitions……..I know you will do Dominica proud……your chaperone Ms JB must be quite excited………all the best……..enjoy yourself most importantly.
Michelle Did terribly in the other rounds! Her dress was not pleasant to look at! She said on the radio right after she got off the stage that “the color was her fav color and SHE got to choose her dress” Her custome was “blah” . Playing an insturment made her get best talent. And all the girls answered so silly… she’s the only one who didn’t sound “silly”.
Jacinta was GOOD … all rounds.
Ms. Dominica Pagent is a setting stage for the REGIONAL pagents. Lets wish Ms. Fagan luck and enough of the negativity.
As for MS> LABASSIERE!! stupes………..The swim you were swiming on the stage in your Swimsuit must have impressed the judges…..but not me. YOu didn’t deserve it. Nuff Said! Your Sponsor put in alot of money so they had to give you a place! You took Michelle’s place…….
THE SHOW WAS WELL JUDGED BASICALLY. I AM NOT SURE THAT I WOULD GIVE JACINTHA BEST IN EVENING WEAR THOUGH – BUT IT WAS GOOD AND STRANGELY ONE OF THE MOST FAIR SHOWS I HAVE SEEN. BIG UP TO THE JUDGES
SO IMPORTANT –
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE QUESTION SEGMENT – THE GIRLS JUST FELL APART!!! MICHELLE WELL DESERVED THE WIN FOR THAT ROUND.
Miss Dominica 2010 was so sweet and down to earth!!
Miss Dominica 2011 hope you don’t hope on a high horse! Congrats anyway my Darling. I always knew you would win. Something about you spoke QUEEN!
These girls, can’t compare to me on a bad day. Just saying!
so y didnt u go up…stupessss shutup
Ms Beauty
You probably uglier than sin, your fresh/conceited self, muster the courage to go on stage nuh?
BABY I SPOKE ON THE RADIO AND STATED THAT U WOULD WIN AND U DID . FROM THE FIRST I SAW U . I SAID U WERE THE ONE . WAS AT THE SHOW FROM START AND U DESERVE THE CROWN, DOE CHECK WAT THE HATERS SAY U REPRESENT.
U WERE THE STAR OF THE NIGHT
I agree……I believed she represented queenly and the odas didnt……….Look and u will see…..She was made for the crown
The only bad thing about that show is the female commentator Antonette Mora, they should have a Local person and many locals can do the Job, she was not well suited. Ray is great as usual that is his thing. Think and use our own next time. bad choice
Why did you not volunteer?
Don’t be a hater! Perhaps nobody else wanted to do it because of stupid comments like that on DNO. By the way, she did an excellent job.
excuse me? do you Know whoe Antoinette Moira is?
she is the best LOCAL voice for the show!
NEVER!!! (TO GIGI)
I SO AGREE – COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HER AT ALL
Damm…seems like you never left your neighborhood. I bet you can understand Smooth Dog or Buju…..smdh
Everybody talking about who should win and who should not win…did anybody notice that huge monstrosity of a crown on her head? Whoever made that thing should be out of work!
LMAO
IT SEEMS THEY GETTING BIGGER BY THE YEARS
lmfao……………..damn straight……..it looks ridiculous
The Queen show was substandard this year. What is going on? Are we becoming a superficial nation? How can a Dominican not know about feeder roads and social security? Earlene boasts of being an engineer and she could not spill out the advantages of geothermal energy. Chuh! And Ruth Augustine is either exceptionally naive or brave to tackle Frank Sinatra’s classic, I did it my way. If these women represent Dominica then prayers are in order. We as a nation need to read and seek information. I think the debacle that was last night speaks to the Dominican tendancy to talk without researching. It’s like a cancer. And I agree that consistency wins the show but the rounds are not equally weighted. As far as I know, the talent and answer rounds are given more weight than the other rounds. So, how fi Michelle not to place? Am I to believe that she was so appalling in the other rounds? Also, isn’t tone important in the swimwear? How Earlene win swimwear with all those cellulite? How Earlene place? Colour still counts in Dominica? I believe that the committee needs to focus on the question round as the winner has to be an ambassador. The world is not in love with looks anymore but with intellegence. The reign of the dolls is over.
Have you ever been asked a question uner pressure and go blank give the ladies a break nah
well said…well said..
pressure is what proves a true queen. I tired hear give the ladies a break. we should not settle for less in DA. where else u go and she them zey zey happening? Is true, colour constantly plays a role in our queen show. I don’t know why they doe just leave the show for shabine.. the dark skinned girls who win always have to work 10 times as hard as the light skinned girls to wear the crown. One day we will get past slavery “massa” mentality.
very well said
If you know so much how is that you were not on stage lastnight? i also hope you have baby skin too since yioou talking about who cellulite. just because your person of choice did not win does mean you have to cry down everyone. stop that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just to be clear,
every round carry equal points. looong ago in our time, talent and in terview were scored higher, not anymore. there are pros and cons to this i guess.
my belief is, a public figure/ ambassador, needs to deliver in speech, and be confident and have great self expression, versitility and tact! Talent and interview segments shows the proof in the pudding.
Earlene was too eager! i could hear her thought process, but she failed to articulate! she was my favourite!
i would encourage her to do it again!
congratulations to Jacinta!!!!
THE SHOW WAS WELL JUDGED BASICALLY. I AM NOT SURE THAT I WOULD GIVE JACINTHA BEST IN EVENING WEAR THOUGH – BUT IT WAS GOOD AND STRANGELY ONE OF THE MOST FAIR SHOWS I HAVE SEEN. BIG UP TO THE JUDGES
i have to agree with you on this one…………..very well judged and fair
Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t one need to have attended UNIVERSITY and obtained a degree to be called an engineer? Since when does DSC give out engineering degrees? And if Earlene is already an engineer why was she heard saying that the only reason she was entering the competition was in hopes of winning the scholarship to go study? …..Where do they get these young ladies from?
Hey congrats to you Ms. Fagan and big up to the National Co-operative Credit Union for the sponsorship. You did well and thats all that counts you came out on top and no matter what people say they can’t take that crown from you. Once again Big Up to NCCU. You reprsented the NCCU family well and we are behind you 100%. (At least now i can say i drove a queen around in my car…lol).
Miss Columbo, I listened to DBS myself and their criticizen was unbecoming. I watch the show online and it was not anything like the criticizens this people gave on the radio, and this is sad. And for your information Mitchel did an excellent job with the question on Haiti. Again it had to be her opinion on such a question. You say that the girls are not intelligent, I wonder how intelligent are you. Ask yourself would you be able to do what they did last night. The more you all can’t do anything is the more you all criticize. Stop it and learn to support people. All the ladies are educated. In case you don’t know, which from your comment tells me, nervousness, which is something that happens to nomal human beings can cause you to stay still at a certain moment. Get real, be an older example, stop criticizing and play a positive role. All you all do is to repeat the foolishness you hear from other people and cannot make a positive analysm.

CONGRATULATION TO MS. DOMINICA 2011, HOWEVER I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE FIRST RUNNER-UP POSITON. EARLYN DOES NOT DESERVE IT. MICHELLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRST RUNNER-UP. EARLYN WAS NOT LOOKING TONED IN THE SWIMSUIT. SHE DID NOT SING HER TALENT SONG PROPERLY. SHE WALKED CLUMSILY IN HER EVENING WEAR AND SWIMSUIT. SHE COULD NOT HANDLE HER COSTUME. INFACT TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, EARLYN DID NOT HAVE TO PLACE- PERIOD. ROSILLIA WAS IMPRESSIVE. IF AM NOT MISTAKEN I THINK SHE IS THE FIRST MS. WOB DWIYETTE WHO HAVE TAKEN PART IN THE CARNIVAL QUEEN SHOW AND DID SO WELL. SHE HAS SET A RECORD.
nonsense she represented well and not bcuz your person of choice didnt win doesnt mean u have to criticize the others they all did well and earlene did well for that position dominicans stop criticizin stttttttttuppppppppes man
I think you are very blind. Earlene deserves her first runner up position Michelle deserves no position at all. Her stomach was bulging and the swimwear fit was horrible unlike earlene when she walked you saw muscle tone I wonder if you know about muscle tone secondly Michelle’s costume was not carried well at all she was fighting with it unlike Earlene who handled herself very well in costume. As for the vening wear round, Earlene was not rough she was graceful and her talent, as someone who sings myself, she delivered very well and she has a unique voice, the vibrato she did with her voice is something that even the best singers learn over many years. Michel on the other hand went flat in her singing and her word endings were horrible; she got best talent in my opinion because of the violin being unbiased the best talent should have gone to Earlene or the queen herself, these two young ladies sang beautifully. We must learn to be objective and if we are not sure of something ask a question instead of placing negative comments.
sorry – blame game now.
Earline looked dam good in her swimwear – the best actually – all the others had ribs and belly fat protuding. Stop hating!!! The judges did excellent in that round. Big up to the judges
congratulation miss dominica job well done…keep your head high…..soon you will be crowning me as miss dominica..make us proud in every activity that you perform….will be watching you …..
hmmm people need to stop saying that she didnt deserve her crown… she did.. cant change that … further more every year people will keep on saying that the judging was wrong cause everyone cant win… EVERYONE CANT WIN….. SOMEONE HAS TO FRIGING LOSE…. so as long as their people dont win they will keep saying this shit… michelle, nasha, earlene, jacinta , and cornellia are all my friends… i wanted either one too win.. if they didnt well thats that… but just deal with it …every year is the same damn thing….
You are so right. A Competition can only have one winner and you enter it with that knowledge, confident at the same time that that winner will be you. If it turns out to be someone else you should have the grace to offer your congratulations and the winner to say:”thank you for affording me the opportunity to win” ,because you can not be number one without competition. The competitors are as indispensable as the winner. If you think this unfair, don’t take part in the first place! Meanwhile, let’s enjoy the event for the lighthearted grace and beauty, represented by some talented young ladies, who do us all proud.
It is impossible to please everyone and no matter who was crowned last night, there will be some disappointments. I was not at the show. I listened via DBS. My disappointment however was in the talent round and most of all in the question and answer segment. I heard some things which people called singing and it was horrible. I mean, if you are not a singer who is used to handling the pressures of singing to a huge crowd, don’t try it at a queen show! You are going to be so nervous already, you are just compounding the problem. That however, was miniscule compared to the utter rubbish during the question and answer segment. I have had the experience of being with a queen contestant and I know they are given the topics before hand. They are even given examples of how to answer the questions. They are also advised not to cram an answer as they are not sure which question they will get. But, does anyone need coaching to answer a question on Haiti or on manufacturing? Aren’t these high school and college graduates? It shows their level of intelligence in current events! No one reads newspapers or even listen to the news. Facebook, yes!! DBS news, no!!! Well, it showed last night.
My advice to queen show committee is to begin training these individuals earlier. Give them more time to come up with something good. October to March is not enough time. When our girls take part in regional or international pageants, they will ask questions on current events. Make us proud. Jacintha, now you have been afforded to opportunity to represent Dominica. I would strongly advise you to get current on issues affecting the world right now so that if you are asked about the middle east you can definitely answer with confidence.
October to march is not enough time? waw what they training? Monkeys?
you are so right, and how many of us can answer these ridiculous questions under pressure, I am very well educated myself with my mastere Degree and would never be able to answer these questions on feeder roads, and geothermal energy. Why do we give the contestants all these ridiculous questions and in the regional pageants it’s so much simpler. We must reexamine these. Last year’s questions were much better.
Congratulations to Jacintha and Earlene both of you deserve your positions.
yes – Ruth ‘singing’ YIKES!!!1
October to March is clearly not enough time to prepare, agreed! However, very few young people follow news items – locally and internationally to be well versed on various issues; and they do not read that kind of stuff from young so that listening to and understanding such becomes a no-brainer. So with having to prepare physically, there is no time and really it is not the time to try to learn and read up on other issues. Basic questions about feeder roads and social security should not be difficult to answer even if the girl’s were a bit nervous. Be informed, read up on issues and news items from an early age and you will see the results in your speech and intelligence!
I dont knw why dominican’s got to be like that. any competition that take place never judge right for them. Yall cant just congratulate the girl on her victory. stups….i waitin to hear what alu will say about the calypso show
Firstly let me Say congratulations to you Jacintha. A job well done. You deserved that crown and this is the only positive thing that I can say about that show last night. I was stunned last night that this is the best that we can do. The costumes were acceptable but I have seen better in the last years. During the talent round my ears were assulted and to place the icing on the cake the question and answer round was just torment. Why is that? I believe that the committee needs not only to re-evaluated the selection process but to also have the girls expose to more pressured environments prior to the show. We are all concerned about whether the judges were right or not and have over looked the bigger picture: these girls were selected. That means that they were the best out of the lot. Is that it? Do we no longer have individuals who know what their talents are. At this stage in life someone should know whether they can sing or not. But the show last night can be a demonstration of the quality of education that our students are receiving in schools. Do we encourage our students to explore, find and develop their talents at a young age? Do we discuss social and political topics at the home or are we too busy, doing other things than trying to mould the minds of our kids.
Last night was a reflection I believe of brain drain that has begun in our society. Our girls could not answer basic questions. I know being on stage is difficult but this is something that one should realise before going on stage.
We need to do better and we can do better. I was totally embrassed to be a Dominican woman last night. We have to step up the standard of this show. From the decoration of the stage to performance of the girls was a total disappointment. Where is the motivation for the private sector to sponsor next years contestants?And what image are we sending to the foreigners who watched and will watch this show? This is a reflection on Dominican Women.
Girls I know that most of you will read this. You did your best with the abilities that you have and I know that each and everyone of you worked hard. Sometimes we the public are not previleage to the pressures that you are under and maybe your dresses and talents were not selected by you but for you. This criticism is my opinion and meant also as food for thought.
lol my ears were assaulted great one ha ha ha
lolol……………
Congrats babygirl i love you made me cry, real tears of joy. i cried, am so happy for you. i knew you could do it. Miss Dominica 2011. thank you lord.
DNO, the young woman said I feel so ELATED or something to that effect when she won not “I feel amazing”
And to those biased or uninformed or both individuals who actually think Jacintha didn’t deserve it. Don’t be irresponsible ask a few objective experienced judges and let them explain to you how the judging and scoring works. You may not agree but if your open and honest you will understand why MIchelle can win talent and best question and still not place.
In my view her package for her talent was somewhat innovative but she was offkey for a huge part of the song her violin was not tuned and she changed the key of the song and then went off again!!
How can you sing offkey and still win best talent especially when Jacintha sang beautifully and never went off key! Although I wonder if Jacintha lost points for the length of her presentation.
I think Jacintha should have won best talent except if she did go over her time
Michelle is intelligent and possesses great potential i truly hope she grows because she has much more to offer but she simply did not do well enough to win.
It is obvious that consistency got the winner the crown, YES people it is possible mathematically. But here are my issues with the show:
1. Why is that the person who got best Talent and Miss Intelligence did not place?
2. The questions were extremely simple/easy this year. How is it that college educated students cannot answer simple questions. I know education is not all BUT the way the students academic achievements are articulated during the show, I really expected them to deliver. Not even the general questions that pertained to them they could answer.
3. Didn’t the girls had a fitting for their dresses? How is it that some of the dresses were too big for the girls? And the designers, can they please keep up with the fashion trends and materials they are using. The first contestant was a curtain and drape gone terribly wrong. The yellow dress showed off the wrong curves…..
4. Talent Talent Talent – why is it that so many of the girls sang and cannot sing? WHY. There are so many options, skits, dance, steel pan etc. Why forced them to develop a talent that you need some of natural tendencies and sufficient practice to develop? Is there a committee that observe each individual’s talent during preparation and give constructive advise. For example, “you do not have the vocals to pull through so why not try a song with a lower pitch or incorporate less singing or not sing at all” That seems fair to me….
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE:
1. Begin the application process earlier and maybe incorporate some type of audition to result in effective selection of top talent. Put them before a panel, ask each a question on the national level, inquire about their talents and have them perform on the spot, have them choose a platform as part of the application process and make a presentation before the panel etc.
2. Once the girls are selected put them through some type of mandatory development program that they can do together. Public speaking course, Mock interviews conducted by top professionals on the island (a good way to get citizens involved), a networking challenge, have a coach walk them through modeling techniques etc. We don’t have to re-invent the wheel, look at pageantry nationally and internationally, reach out to organizers of those shows and do an informational interview. You all will be surprised that people are willing to give advise.
3. If the public is seeing an investment in the success of contestants we would see an increase in application and the committee would have a larger pool to select from.
We can do this.
#3 continuation. The last dress is to wrap gifts not a person ….
lmao
actually i heard a commentator say that some of the girls don’t get to fit their dresses, their sizes are sent, the dresses are made to “fit”. maybe this should be reconsidered
It is clear that some of those girls lost weight. All that pressure, some gain weight, some lose weight. These things happen.
Yoh Nasha girl you did your thing we all liked it and one love next time we go take them..You live like a your mess Dominica any way big up
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That’s her destiny
Fagan….consistency is the game and u played it GREAT!
Thank you so very much for all the support and confidence. Trust me, it was not an easy road, but with perseverance, hard work, determination, support, love, but most importantly, prayer, i was certainly able to get through it!!! To everyone out there, i say to work hard for what you want. Be self motivated, believe in yourself, and make God your number one source of strength and guidance. By the way, i want to congratulate my fellow competitors for a job well done!!!!!!!! we all worked tirelessly!!!!!!……………….to Dominica News Online, i said that i was “elated” not “amazing”.
no by the way young lady.. OMG.. somebody train them please before they go out and represent us! Congratulations to you lovely lady but get some training in speech and logic for answering questions!
Congrats again to you Ms. Dominica 2011! I do not normally comment on public forums, but I will admit that I have alot of experience in pageantry. I was not physically present at the show but did have access to live streaming where I viewed and listened to all the performances. I have also won and judged competitions in the past; I did the same last evening from abroad and was in agreement with the results. You did deserve your crown and won as a result of your consistency in the rounds. You possess a great talent and portrayed great confidence and poise. I wish you much success and in your future endeavors! Keep your head up! Cheers!
Jascintha,
While I was not impressed with the show overal, you won and I congratulate you. Your calypso was very good and your tone and diction was a cut above all the others who tried so horribly to sing. I have to say I expected more from many of the contestants in the talent and Q/A rounds.
Dominicans can be vicious when it comes to criticizing the work that is done for the queen show but you have to understand how much you and your counterparts represent to us. You are supposed to be the cream of the crop, the best, most beutiful and brightest that we, as a poeple, have to offer. Those are huge pumps to fill so please excuse us for not being blown away by the show or by some of the things that took place last night.
Ok so with that said, the work begins now for the rest of the hourney. i think you are quite capable of winning as many crowns as Marcia or any of the others. How badly do oyu want it? Be yourself, be natrual and remeber you have a right to be here, you have earned this and you mst step into it boldly as if it were tailor made for you. You perspective and outlook need to be set on OPEN so that you can digest all what is about to be thrown at you in a short space of time.
Seek advice from Marcia B, she will always be open to tell you what it is really like and pobably caution you of some of the pitfalls that may lie ahead of contestants in regional competitions. From what i know of Marcia, she is someone who is very honest and what you see is what you get from her. You will never have to worry about her putting up a front or misrepresenting her feelings about anything. Make her your best friend, as I am sure she has done with others who went before her and you will be just as sucessful.
Stay humble and contine to hold on to your fath as it will continue to light the way for you. This is very exciting adn the year will come ot an end before oyu know it. Relax, be good to yourself and don’t takelife too seriously, all will work out for you and for all the others. God bless you and good luck as you go forward my dear!
Cheers!
DNO is right you did say amazing which may be a slip of the tongue
Firstly Congrats to you for winning the title! I think you were pretty consistent though you were not my favorite for the show.
As you prepare for the Regional Competition, which the first being in March, is it is not going to be an easy one, as Dominica have been having favorable results our the past few years. Kudos to the Queen show Committee. My advice to you is seek advice from former winner who are still on Dominica, maybe even Youtube the shows and the winners. I know the Chaperone of Miss St. Kitts have been keeping a keen eye on the show last night. Keep going to the gym to TONE your muscles for swinwear. For talent continue with the natural talent that you have, maybe using TASHA P’s He is a Boy or Let the Children be Children, developing your story around that. Work with Tasha P on your performance of this song [ moves and presentation etc]. Your evening gown need to be changed, it’s been seen too often [ colour and design etc], and continue to work on your modeling skills. For the continuous development of your Interviewing skills, work with someone in the Media [ Mrs. Green Brown at DBS, the Henry girl who is into Communications or even the current Events Director Mrs. Meade as she too is a Media person]. Most importantly READ and LISTEN to the News both radio and Television as this is the only way you become aware of what is happening around the WORLD, the Region, and not only Dominica.
Take my two cent!!!
Very good advice.
Great advice!!!!! Please do the You Tube….
To Miss Dominica 2011,
Let me first congratulate you on winning the pageant last night. I am however disappointed in your post on DNO. Why would you take the time out to correct DNO on what you did or did not say? This does not reflect well on you at all. Instead you should already be focusing on polishing your act and getting prepared for the upcoming regional competitions. You still have a lot of work to do to get up to the caliber of queens like Marcella, Nakita, Leandra and recently Marcia;just to name a few. Remember to be humble and not let winning the crown get to your head and refrain from responding to pettiness like you did above. A true queen rises above such things.People will misquote you and criticize but the true reflection of your character is how you respond and handle these situations.
Again congratulations and make us proud…..
but earlene was my first choice
take dominica to the next level like miss Baptiste did!!
HEY ALL OF US LEAVE THOSE BEAUTIES ALONE ENH. THEY TRIED THEIR BEST. WE MAYBE WOULD HAVE MADE MISTAKES ALSO, NO ONE IS PERFECT. SO LETS PUT THAT BEHIND US AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL. GET UR MINDS PREPARED FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON. AND DONT FORGET TO BE CAREFULL OUT THERE.
Looking at this competiton – too little weight is placed on what matters most or should matter most. Talent and Intelligence = These set you apart in a competition like this.
Anyone can be made up = photogenic
Tailormade dress or well fitted=best dress
Get your bud and swimwear = best swimwear
Be the people’s person = amity or whatever
Oh my gosh where to start. I cringed in horror last night at my computer as I watched this debacle of a show that we put up as Dominica’s best unfold.
You may or may not have been an agricultural science major in high school or college but as a Dominican, there are certain things that should be in your blood and you should know by default. How could you not know what a Feeder Road (agricultural access road) is?
You were asked about agro-processing and did not address the question at all? Is that because you did not understand the term? As college student or graduate, you should know that we have so much fruit in Dominica that ends up falling to the ground and rotting because we do not have the facilities to can, bottle, or turn that fruit into finished product with a shelf life.
You were asked to speak on the benefits of Geothermal energy and you could not even explain what it was far less for the benefits of it? You proceeded to say that Dominica was a volcanic island with hot springs? What about the fact that our country would no longer need to depend on foreign oil (Petro Caribe) to support it’s economy? What about the fact that we could sell power to neighboring islands?
You come from a country that still boasts the first ever female Prime Minister in a male dominated West Indies, and you cannot comment on impacts of women in politics? Dame Eugenia Charles must have been rolling in her grave. You were handed a cake question and you did not take advantage of it.
You come on stage in a swimsuit and do not bother to get a proper bikini wax so that you have hair in places that create ungainly silhouettes in the swimsuit? Do you think that your chaperone should not have seen you in the swimsuit and told you that did not look right?
i am not sure that I can even blame these girls. You cannot teach poise, talent, class, eloquence, or enunciation in a matter of three of even six months for that matter. However, the chaperones have to be held accountable for some of the things that went on with this show. The Ms Dominica pageant is no longer a beauty pageant as may have been the case in the 60s and 70s when some of these chaperones were queen. You can no longer take the prettiest one with the nicest complexion or longest flowing hair to put her up there just because she may look like what we consider to be a queen, if she has no substance.
I also blame the schools for not grooming or youth enough with regard to self expression and extemporaneous speech. Students are not encouraged to express and develop their individuality and ability to communicate. Instead they are beaten down into submission and being one of the ‘sheepole’ in society. I am so utterly disappointed by this showing that I cannot even say anymore because this would end up being too long.
As our calypso sours to new heights, our queens have sunk to levels that I have not seen in years. No one should have walked away with the crown after last night!
I am sure these girls are not as horrible as they presented themselves to be on the night; however you do not get a second chance to make a first impression and nerves be damned, you should have seized the opportunity to show us all what you were made of and alas NONE of you did. We as a country have to do better to convince the right people to get on that stage… These girls were pretty but were not the right people and I was embarrassed for them up there on that stage.
On the contrary this was the best show i have ever seen besides some of the off key singing talent!
Competition was really tight
AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!! Could not have summed it up better! What a debacle indeed! Somethings really cannot be taught!
You slamming dem girls, but I know that the “o” key and the “U” key are not that close on your keyboard…our calypso “sours”…should it not be “soars”. Don’t be too hard on the young ones…we all stumble sometimes. Who died and made you queen with your scathing remarks? Nerves be damned.
LOL. i was coming to make the same comment. as our calypso sours. LOL. ha ha..
Well look majeeh this year! where they get them? That was a wash your foot and come this year papa!
I know you would at least handled the question and answer round! It was really wash your face and come! Dem girls sorely lacking in queen category!
After last year’s competition patrons left festival city satisfied. This was manifested in the turn out at the pageant this year. But alas! The judges once again have left patrons to believe that they do not know about pageantry. This chaos in the decision can only happen when a queen is crowned before the night of the queen show. Clearly, Ms Labassiere was crowned before the actual pageant, but when the official ceromony was held she did not show up, so this left the judges desperatetly looking for a queen. Ms Fagan congratulations to you, all the best at the regionals. But, if we are to encourage patrons back to the queen show and also give the potential contestants the will to participate, the judges should not allow themselves to be held hostage by the Queen Show Committee. For the future of our Queen Show the judges should exercise professionalism (aren’t this what they are…professionals in their various fields?)
I am not a fan of Ms Joseph, but how could she not have placed last evening, it was for her to have scored almost nil in the other three rounds, which was highly impossible. Yes, Ms Joseph’s body and height is not that of the accepted queen contestant, but she should not have been accepted and then when she shows up for the ceremony turn her down. This is madness! She just didn’t suddenly become petite. This decision last evening is a total disregard and disrespect for the intelligence of the patrons.
It was obvious that the style of swimsuit worn by the contestants was designed and taylor made for Ms Labassiere’s body type. Give me a break! We are in 2011 and to clad our young ladies in this 19… look is outrageous. The trim ladies were made to look out of place last evening. This did no justice to the trim ladies. They must have paid a mint to the designer for only one night. Ms Fagan cannot think of using this swimsuit in any of the regional pageants. Having cellulites is a no no for awarding any young lady best swimsuit, but it was evident last evening that Ms Labasierre was selling them.
If there is to have an elevation in the quality of the Queen Show a complete overhaul must be done. The present committee needs to stop micro managing, If the patrons have to continue to be slapped with these chaotic results, then we may as well do like cricket and have a referral system, something, anything, whatever but not that ….!
Earline looked dam good in her swimwear – the best actually – all the others had ribs and belly fat protuding. Stop hating!!! The judges did excellent in that round. Big up to the judges
Mathematically, it is very possible for someone to get 2 prizes and not place.
We as Dominicans were all happy when our representative won Ms Caribbean World.
Are you aware that she didn’t win any of the prizes, nothing at all, but she won the crown because she was consistent……it worked in our favour at the time and it worked in Jacinta’s favour this time.
Example of how consistency can make one win.
5 contestants A, B, C
Round 1: A(20 pts), B(18pts), C(10 pts)
Round 2: A (25 pts), B( 24 pts), C(20 pts)
Round 3: A(9 pts), B(17 pts), C(26pts)
Contestant A coped 2 prizes, contestant C 1 prize, contestant B none.
However, contestant B was more consistant, being second in each round and getting more total points(59pts)
Contestant A, even topping 2 of the 3 rounds, still got the least total points due to one terrible round.
ITS MATHEMATICALLY POSSIBLE PEOPLE
So, let me get this straight..consistency is how this young lady won? Well in that case, we need to hear a breakdown of the “consistency”. I think it is only fair. My thing is this. If she was 2nd in all the rounds regardless of who won, then she must have been pretty close to the first place winner in terms of points and to be quite honest, I don’t see how that could be. She did not carry herself well in her costume and her talent was not well delivered. Talent is something you can do and do very well. She did not do hers very well. Also, I do not see how she was best in dress. I am still trying to figure that one out – and in relation to that- who was 2nd best in dress? While she did an ok job of answering her question, she came nowhere close to Michelle so again I don’t know how she could have been 2nd in that round.
But the million dollar question at the end of the day is: why did Michelle not place? and Ms Basil, who did not win a single round came 3rd. Now how can that be? There were 4 rounds: Michelle won 2 and to me – (these were the most important rounds). Are the judges trying to say she was at the bottom pool in the costume and swinsuit round? I don’t think so…
I have always said our problem in Dominica is communication. We always keep things a secret and we seem to like controversy. Competitions like these have to potential to create muddy waters so I don’t see why the organization cannot educate the public on the judging criteria and I would further suggest that during the reading of the results they should probably name the top three ppl in the round with points. That way when the winner is announced the crowd will have some understanding. Although I expect some people may not be happy with the results because everyone has their “Queen” but we would have something to work with. That is just an opinion.
Correction..swimsuit round. (paragraph 2 last line)
t is clear that you (Dissapointed) is one of those people that let things pass in one ear and out the other!!!! Didnt Iye just explain how it is mathematically possible?!!!!! In your first paragraph you are still asking the same questions that she just gave you an answer for??!!!! IDIOCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is why there is always a confrontation about results every year…some of yall head too hard!!!!!!!!!
You are so right here…..ppl just citisize and dont take note of the details…..and the person that give u d thumb down is one that cant do better so they choose to stay in a corner and critisize.
I like that example…tell it to them
Congratulations Jaci. Dont let pple who could not take the bold step to do what u did bring you down. we are all ere criticizing the girls how many of you can stand the pressure of being up on that stage before a crowd and be perfect even professionals stumble. nowww why dont we understand consistency. we want to do well in one or two things fail in the rest and be at the top. if u ae consistent through out the chances of u being at the top are greater. do you need examples
100%+90%+65% +75%= 330 / 4= 82.5%
85%+87%+83%+88%= 343/ 4= 85.75%
get it folks…. s in eerything in life consistency counts.. well maybe not in dominca
anyways love u J just hold ure head high and make us proud..
ngrates to earlene …. you made us proud who vex…. lost we coming back for oue crown ….we have to learn to respect accept who ever the winners a .she work hard and she got 1 runner up .and thats thats .who vex lost you made us proud and we love you for that.
best in evening wear & miss photogenic & crown on ur head?!! nonsense..
That is not nonsense its perfectly possible…..she was consistent in all the rounds….so even if she only got 2 sashes that doesnt mean she didnt receive high points in all the rounds…….dont hate ok….jacintha was great and she deserved the crown
While i congratulate Miss Fagan I am still baffled at the fact that Miss Michelle Joseph didn’t come 1st runner up. Earlene did not deserve that place. I mean where the judges watching the same show as I was? Well if so educate us on how contestants accumulate points better still let the score sheets be made public. It’s time we stop that nonsense fair is fair.TONEHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently you were watching a different show….If not Jacintha then who? Michele’s dress was a hot mess, her costume was falling apart and she moved too wild for the type of costume. She did terrible in those two rounds, that’s where she lost points
that competition wasn’t tight at all..! it sucked!
I so agree with you. The show was hyped to bring in the patrons, BUT OMG I have never heard of such DUNCE contestants! This was the lowest quality of girls Ihave seen in a lonnnnnggggg time. I was shocked at the level of poise, confidence, and just no real class displayed!
Let me tell u why Michele Joseph didnt deserve to win or even place. Her bathing suit and dress was just a mess, she was moving so wild in the costume to the point where it was falling apart.
So Michelle is the people’s Queen like how Bobb is the people’s king?
lmfao
Well Tasha P will parade with Jacintha on Tuesday – how fitting its womens day
lol
Congrats baby girl!
Big up to all the contestants and their efforts!
She’s from a top tier school. What else did y’all expect?
That girl dont have what it takes to win…
:lol listen i can understand jacintha won fine competition was tight. but damn roselia made me proud she made her whole family and friends proud. she is our queen in the family anyway! But please judges right next to the to the queen, first runner up.not second runner up. earlene could have been second . All in all it was a good show
damn u are so right
proud….i will excuse your biasness, but be realistic,first runner up? she should not even have placed.i hope yu all saved alot of money for her,god forbids she gets sick and can’t work because the way she butcher the social security question ,(which was the easiest)she will not get sickness benifits.just saying………
Social security is to help the government?????? magway sah!!!!
What about the feeder roads question? that girl knows nothing about feeder roads! lol! These girls NEED to READ READ READ. Such pretty dunces!! I rather my son marry an ugly woman, who has some brains in her head and uses it than a pretty one who opens her mouth and may just embarass him!!! In fact even cause him his life! Ignorance was displayed last night, full swing!
this dosen’t necessarily mean they are donce,they just say the closest answer that’s in their head to prevent stummbling during question and answer
whats up with the “I THENK YOU” after they answer their questions nuh? is like the can say any foolishness as long as they end with “I THENK YOU!!!!!”
I THENK YOU oh my you people are cracking me up but really what’s up with these three words anyway
LMAO
sombody give me the hook up to watch the shows live please was just listening last night.
check out numusiczone.com that’s where I looked at it.
i am thinking that this queen pageant is s..!!!! because intelligence and talent dont matter, michelle was very consistent, my top three were michelle-miss Dominica, jacinta fagan-1st runner up and Rosilia Bazil 2nd. congrats michelle, ur still my queen!!!!!!!!!!!!,congrats Ms Fagan hope u represent us well!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I only heard about the show but did not listen or participating in anyway last night. I speak to miss Fagan, know her very well, her family and friends must be very happy for her. I am very happy for her and I wish her all the best on her endeavours. Secondly, after reading most of the comments on DNO, it seems that many people are disappointed that Michelle Joseph did not place. They have a point. Is it true that beauty replaces intelligence in this country?
we need betta judges and all change da name of da show to ms injustice not jus 4one 4 all da grls
And you need to go back to school to learn how to form sentences and write properly in standard proper grammar, instead of the American ebonics ghetto rubbish you are putting on here. Shame on you casting stones at others…………..Don’t be so judgemental in future!
YOU DO NOT begin a sentence with AND…so you too, are a dunce! just saying…..
@ ME AGAIN: you cant just win the show by best Talent and Miss Intelligence. you must be CONSISTENT thru out the entire show if u wanna wear the Crown, and thats exactly what Jacintha did! she was consistent…..i agree she needs room for improvement with the answer and question round but she will get more help and practice on that. Stop being Negative. Congratulations to Jacintha and all the other contestants you all did great
That’s true
my problem is they were given th tpics before hands.further more the masterof ceremony read or asked the same question twice.come on man.every year same dissapointment ,ok then.
Good for you wining, but, shouldn’t you ALL be looking for that missing child? Allu so engrossed with carnival allu already forgot that people are missing and that families have been torn apart? Magway sa!!!!
It is carnival time in Dominica. There are three more days left for this season, then it will be back to normal life.
There is a time and place for everything. This does not mean that they forgot the missing child. I am certain that she is very much on their minds.
Generally, people cannot concentrate on many things at one time. However, note what the new Miss Dominica stated about assisting children. Read between the lines.
In addition, I am certain that the Police Force whose obligation it is to try to find her has not ceased investigating the case of the missing child.
I thought it was a good show. With some encouragement and help, the queen should be able to bring some regional crowns home. My only thing is that I think the Committee needs to come out and defend itself against the criticism about the question round. I know they prepare the girls for that….I just don’t know what is wrong every year like that.
i never have difficulties with the judges decision; the quality of the show leaves a lot to be desired. we need to work with the girls on using their true talent and not trying to adopt a talent for the show. the talent round was really disappointing. and boy every year the girls make a mess of the answers. is anyone listening? there is time between selection and the actual show – give the girls some practice. you see the amount of practice the calypso competitors get in the tents? create opportunities for the girls to practice. bring them on at the tents; ask them questions while the guys are singing. have them comment at the princess show, teenage pageant; let them do some small promotional speeches in an adhoc manner. we need to improve on that segment. In closing, i need to say that the girls gave their best and we need to move on and give the queen our support; i too cant understand why our best talent and most intelligent person could not secure a place in the top three. but say consa y ya!!!!
Hear, hear and I totally agree with you on that score! At one point I thought I was at some wonna be calypso show with singers out of tune and what a drag that was.
Contestants should really look up the meaning of the word ‘talent’ and equate this to something they like, enjoy and do exceedingly well and comfortable……not make believe that I can sing when in deed I am actually scaring everyone who with out of tune noises.
The people advising the contestants need to be upfront, honest and realistic enough to realise that they need to advise contestants to choose areas that they are most suited to.
In my opinion all the contestants did a good job.As a past contestant of a national pageant i can say that it is hard,hard work.I can also add that the judges can be quite unfair. I really thought that Ms.Joseph would place. What happened?She got awards,those that carry most points,she was indeed consistent but no place. Judges….this was a discouraging move.
@OPINION COUNTS
well if you were a past contestant and you think that was quality then I can well imagine how horrible you were
Congratulations gyal! Do mine de negative vibes. See U soon.
the charparon must be honest with these girls and let them know when singing would be a best choice for talent.was not at the show,tell me did rosillia play any instruments?she is good at them. anyway,i was again dissapointed in the way the girls answer their questions. we need to do more.i have some ideas for training the girls for the question round.(a strategy i use in my grade two) not trying to be insultive.just saying it will work at a higher level. congrats miss fagan consistency pays off.
I AGREE WITH U . THEY NEED TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. AND THE PEOPLE JUST TAKE THIER ANSWER IN LOL. CONGRATS STILL JACI
The book Racing Stripes the smell is to blame – no one wanted to open the book for too long.
Are they still using this book? lol
Is that why the diction and enunciation is so absurd by all those so-called ‘top tier’ graduates?! Heaven help us!
If you go down that road you open a whole can of worms, so calm down lovey.
i must say that ms Fagan wasn’t my first choice but her performance was good. now i believe that some sort of standard should be put it place when selecting candidates for this show. people focus way too much on just beauty. i mean of-course beauty should b a criteria but intelligence should come way before beauty. I am positive that that the candidates were given the list of questions in advanced. they would not have know which question they would be asked but they knew all the questions there they had time to think of intelligent or even basic answers. i was very disappointed in ms Earlene Labassiere for her answer about geothermal energy in dominica. I mean come on, there has been so much talk about this and you cant even answer the question, she just talked about dominica being a volcanic country and our hot springs…they asked how would it BENEFIT us!!!! AND also the contestant who was asked the question in relation to social security, she could not have given a more stupid answer. wat does social security have to do withe government and taxes???? does she even have a job?? and if yes does she pay social security ?? cause if she did she would know what it is. Winner of the show will represent Dominica, so we cant just say she looks good, she must also be confident, intelligent, respectful, because when she represent us whatever she says or do will reflect us as dominicans! SO next year i hope the committee will focus more on intelligence.
D.C
for your information, queen contestants do not receive the ‘list of questions’ before the show. during regular rehearsals there is time allocated for the Q&A round through DISCUSSION of current issues and ‘areas’ from which questions may be developed. For example, a general discussion may be held about “Haiti” or “Geothermal energy” but the contestants will have no idea what question on the topic will come up or even if it will come up.
even if they dont receive the actual questions, at least they receive the topics which is more than enough. from the topics they should be able to deduce what possible questions will come up. these are young people that will represent us. they at least should be able to be answer these questions without prior knowledge
Yes in deed they do know the possible topics that they can expect and it is up to them to familiarise themselves with topical, current affairs issues of the day by reading newspapers, listening to the news, etc. How so I know this because I friends who work with pageantry and also those who have been judges or former contestants.
Whilst one may not know which question they will get as some others have said, some sort of knowledge to at least expand upon with and example or two in one or two sentences on the subject who more than suffice.
Also each contestant has their personal questions that they choose whether linked to their platform or what……….so yet another avenue to do exceedingly well in this category with deligent work and paying attention to what is going on around you. Total disappointment in the Q&A and talent segments!
Its as easy as going on YouTube and watching past pageants….even Ms. Joseph, though she gave a decent answer sounded robotic…they need to be more relaxed with their answers…. I thank you
Well said! Could not have said it better!
eh BOSSLADY you brave to be correcting people grammar and commenting on intelligence and the ability to communicate!
” i” is always written as I
“…candidates were given the list of questions in advanced”… in advance
“.. geothermal energy in dominica…” Dominica
We must be careful when we attempt to be critiques that we ourselves aren’t falling short of our own dosage of recommendations. It appears to me that you and those you criticize came from the same school, of poor sentence structure and malapropism.
oh please… so because i had 3 typos, not even grammatical errors u disregard everything else. plus i was too disappointed with the show to capitalize Dominica and I!!!! get a life!!!!
lol
imagin that….do not shoot the messager rather acept the message. correct my typo errors too .bt my mseeage till went through!BEH…mmmwwwwhhhh.
Best talent and miss intelligence and you dont even place what kind of injustice is this Michelle joseph should have been wearing that crown i dont know how they judge their shows is always a vole seen that going on. michelle joseph got best talent and best response to questions off course Miss intellegence what happened, why didnt she place, well like they say wait for the regionals and we will see if she deserved it remember what happened when they gave La Point the crown she just stayed on the shelf never brought back a thing………Congratulations michelle Your turn to shine will come…….
and wha the hell Earlene doing there did she deserve that …..hmmmm is all i can say is the same thing that happen for princess show they thief but wait for the regional queen shows Miss Fagan you have to learn to speak i will not stop saying that is Talent and the question and answer round winner that should carry that crown Michelle Joseph is the true Miss Dominica…..
Totally agree. When the winner was announced that’s whenI remembered why I stopped going to dem queen shows. Earline’s dress was the best?? Ani ti morso twel tou patou. Sorry judges of that section. You need to go take a refresher course in judging.
stop criticizin the lady jus bcuz she com from the far east of d.a doe ean she cya place 2 she did wel to deserve that position toneh with all u ppl man stuuuuuuuuupes.
the thing is Jacintha was highly consitent in all her rounds. YOU MUST BE CONSISTENT!
Even though someone won two awards,doesn’t mean they should win.What about the other contestants that are more consistent in other rounds? Anyway this was the tightest queenshow competition i have ever seen in years………they all did well!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mathematically, it is very possible for someone to get 2 prizes and not place. Most likely, she did terrible in the other rounds. Consistency wins pageants all the time. We as Dominicans were all happy when our representative won Ms Caribbean World. Are you aware that she didn’t win any of the prizes, nothing at all, but she won the crown because she was consistent. We all were happy. So please support the new queen.
Well said. You are absolutely correct.
i think so too they are all just negative she did not have a good dress miss joseph and what abotu how she did in her swim wear round adn her custume was not soo hot either so….come onn..as for earlene i dont thinks he should have gotten best in swim wear..i mean seriously…???? and as for the possie girl..stupid answer thats why she got 2nd runner up if she answered her question better she would have been placed 1st and not 2nd …so shut allu mouth and give my gril some props!!she worked hard and was consistent!!!as for her talent it was better than miss josephs come on??she does not have a gifted voice at all..that was pure painful!!!muder!!and dont lie jaci can sing calypso next year…give tasha a little competition..
the judges had a very difficult decision to make tonight, because all the girls were great. this was really what you call competition….congratulations to all the girls…i had a blast…Good luck ms.Fagan, ignore the critism, because trust me tonight was just the beginning
I TELL YOU! THAT WAS COMPETITION!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IMAGINE THAT EH, LAST YEAR WHEN THEY WERE INTRODUCED IN THE PARK ,PEOPLE HAD SO MUCH BAD THINGS TO SAY THAT OH,THE GIRLS UGLY AND OH THEY NOT IMPRESSIVE AND SO MUCH MORE
and
Amazingly these same girls they critisized brought the best competition ever. Trust me,that compitition was tiiiiiiiggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhtttttttttttttttttt.
That’s what you call competition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok i’m not a queen show person but lets take this into a logical thinking stand point…..if you are doing 6 subjects at school and student A got 100% in two subject and and got 70s, and 80s in the rest of the subject and student B got 90s through out the 6 subject. Who would emerge as the student with the highest average????
shame on some ppl. they come with their quens in mind or they look at one or two aspects of the show and they crown somebody. cmon man. i had no body in mind and i looked at it via the internet and the queen desreved it and earlyne desreved to be placed aswell. i so agree with you de innovator.
Congratulations to the winner, but much more has to be done to improve the quality of the contestants. I know its a beauty competition but they should at least try to sound intelligent as well.
Why do you all keep saying its a Beauty pagent?
But it’s not the most beautiful girl that gets the crown.
Its the best PERFORMER!
Ms Fagan was most consistent
stupid …how can mitchell win in dat dress??and her custume was not too hot either and we all know we did not see ntohing much in that swim wear!!!come onnnnnnn….she got those two awards true but did the question is how did she do for the other rounds??
Did I miss something? I just cannot understand how securing Miss intelligent and best talent did not secure Michelle a place in the top three. I always thought she was in the top two. I am not saying that Ms Fagan did not deserve her crown, because the competition was really tight up until the question and answer segment, but for Michelle to not have placed is robbery, or I must have missed something.
Congratulations Ms Fagan. Enjoy your reign.
And Michelle it’s better that people believe you should have placed and you did not than for you to place and everyone believes you did not deserve it. Time will heal that pain. Congratulations to you as well. You did well.
congrats Jacintha you were FANTASTIC!!!
Again dem judges have blonder ed. How can someone represent their country with best in evening wear and photogenic? Please this show is not a beauty queen. Its about intelligence. Michelle u deserve 2 b place in the top 3. Shame on dem judges. U all need 2 go back 2 the drawing board.
i cannot understand that decision a contestant who gets best TALENT and best intellegence in a Queen pagent did not win the pagent or even to get a place please go back to the drawing board and check the points again even the description of the evening wear could have won the best evening wear
Stupeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssss
Consistency!!! wins a show
Ms Fagan was the most consistent
CONTESTANTS ARE NOT PLACED BASED ON ACCUMULATION OF POINTS BUT ON RANKINGS!
explain
Congrats to you Baby J… and to all the other ladies participating in the show…. It was a good show, however I must say the display from this year’s contestants wasn’t at the standard of other years. The girls neeed to be better equipped for the Miss Dominica Pageant!
congratulations to ms fagan, job well done. michelle should have placed 1st runners up, then earlene. ms bazil was one of the girls i was backing, but she did not deserve second. i was at the show, but as the saying always goes judgees result is final. the best costume i would give to ms bazil, but again is the judges choice. best evening wear would be fagan, but again the judges choice. all in all the show flowed but it wasn’t all that, need to do a little more with the girls answering questions and their walking.
Go Jaci we are so proud of you I know you worked hard and indeed hard work pays off. Kateeee you all did it am so happy for u guys and haters back off. The JUDGES decisions are final boy now I in d mood for carnival to celebrate
Amen i second that!!
earlene looked great, she shoud have gotten best in evening wear as well, she wore her dress perfectly and really looked magnificent, i was rooting for her bt i guess the judges kno wat dey are doin,it has shwon over the past years..so ppl instead of assumin its “voleh” wait 4 the regional competition and we will kno
congrats to the winner…p.s: michelle did great!
Earlene did get best evening wear, wish i was there to see myself.
DDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEE AAAAAGGGGAAAAAIIIIIIIINNNNN
WHO VEX WELL LOST!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL

Your jack-a**
@ MOTS: Dude u got urself sounding like a real groupie. You need to get a g/f dawg.
Can’t see how u could have a woman and u’re online all day commenting on DNO and watching Queen show online and stuff. Aren’t u supposed to be goin out wit ur girl on a Carnival Friday nite? Or if she went to the show wit her girls its ur chance to catch up wit your homies.
I mean I just got in and i’m checking DNO to see what’s new before I go to bed and here is MOTS giving queen show commentary and sucking up to Dice. That’s pretty sad…
well i guess both of us in the same boat anti lol
No we’re not in the same boat MOTS….I actually went out last nite, I don’t watch queen shows, I don’t hero worship any calypsonians, and i only comment on the big stories.
Wish I could see clips of the show though, to see the Q&A round y’all are talking about and the swimsuit round, that’s about it.
u got a sense of humour u should be doing a better job wit the ladies mayne..
CONGRATULATIONZ to the ladies who placed in the top places… Congratulations to Ms Fagan. You did a marvelous job and soon as you came out in the swimsuit round I was like ok… then i saw the talent and I was looking forward to EARLENE, ROSILIA, FAGAN and MICHELE…well Congrats to you all… ONCE AGAIN put God First in EVERYTHING that you pursue. It is a matter of Achieving Greatness and Aspiring to be Great in Gods eye, thus the people. Looking forward to your reign.
OMG, cant believe Michele didnt place, smh. This injustice in judging in Dominica needs to stop. Jacintha was good but Michele deserved a place. Still shocked at the results.
i agree…michelle should place but i am satisfied with the winner……i jus dunno how they manage to not place michelle…jah
um social security is for the gov’t to make money?????? word!!!! garcon dat is why mothers must spend serious time grooming their lil girls into being young ladies,,,, they can’t cook,,, don’t watch news,,,, all they do is send chat on f.b,,,, don’t know a heck goin on in d/ca far more the world at large
i so agree with u. dominicans are becoming to materialistic and superficial!!!!
lmao!! i know rite!
That is sooooo rite!
Congrats my dear..of all those who chose to “sing” tonight..ur the only one who sang well. I wish u all the best……hope the Queen show will be better next year….not what I expected at all sheesh
She really did not sing well…but she was well-above the rest in that regard.
The costume designers and builders need to be congratulated for their work this year. Good job! Keep up with the advancements!
mitchelle winner, bazil first and i would give her 2nd.
Same exact placement! Earlene did not deserve placement!
i believe so as well
I agreee!!
U all don’t know anything about judge! Jacinta was more consistent than the others. Is not because michelle got best talent and miss intelligent she had to win. Jacinta did well in all the round therefore her points added upto more than the others….Dominican put on u all thinking caps and stop making u all self look like fools!
You are so right on that decision. Earlene did not deserve a place
she did not deserve to be placed
lmaoooo who vex lost…. at the end of the day jacinta deserved her crown…. it had to be between jacinta and mitchelle cause they speak well and are very educated.. yes they cheated michelle, she deserved a place… earlene second, michelle first , and jacinta her rightful place…. they all did well.
definitely!
I will keep saying this…NON of the girls spoke well. I thought they all sounded the complete opposite of intelligent.
did not understand d judging nor pal, rewind d show what did i miss
CONGRATULATIONS MISS FAGAN, BUT WHY DIDN’T MICHELLE JOSEPH AT LEAST PLACE? Hmmmmmm. By the way, best costume, and best dress do not add points to the contestants scoring sheet. Best talent and miss intelligence/best answer and question….carry MAXIMUM POINTS.
i totally agree
so true
Congratulations miss Fagan.
We need to rember that consitency counts! and miss fagan was consitant throughout!
i viewed all from the US and i must say special thanks goes out to numusiczone for web broadcast. miss fagan u were second on my list. u did very well. all the best to you and ur contribution to our country.
my top plp were:
jacinthia fagan
rosilia bazil
michelle joseph
cornelia hazel
CORNELIA???? OU KA FOU??!! the first three you had I had them also…but Earlene took that place over Cornelia stupes….
Congratulations !!!!!!!
Miss Fagan You Made it …..I am so proud of you.
Congratulations to all the contestants! I believe that this was a tight competition and I had the pleasure of viewing and listening live. I think that the Judges made the right decision as Ms. Fagan was consistent in all her rounds!
i like da comment.. but so it is man
CONGRATUALTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! A very consistent Ms. Fagan. Good luck in your other pageants and future endeavours!!
Congratulations to all the ladies for giving it a try and for all those who won prizes and placed. I know it is not your fault Ms. Fagan but I think Michelle should have won.
i believe tht the young ladies dat were placed they deserved it… congratulations to the winner .. and to my girl earlene congrats u did a fantastic job… n to the third runner up congratulations also
i agree with you 100 percent. I feel so bad for Michelle again is who you know. .. They cheat again after all these years of making good decisions.
Hey my guess is because she(Miss Fagan) was good in every round. Who is to say Michelle was good in every round. That is why she did not win and Miss Fagan did. Support people, and not try to bring them down. I thank you.
let me tell u i totally disagree with ur comment, miss joseph should have won and that is that to me miss fagan wasnt good in every round, she did well yes i’ll give her that but i think michelle should have won and thats is my view…….tell fagan work on her answer and question
FYI both Michelle and Fagan had the most educated answers.
Both their answers were lacking.
i agree with u
I totally agree
It’s the CONSISTENCY that gave Jacintha the edge. It was between Jacintha and Michelle.
well i chose michelle bon!
please note that the contestants are not placed according to accumulation of points. They are placed based on rankings! it matters not that she won two rounds.
jesinta fagan did not deserve that crown.michelle was intelligent and also had the best talent.i see her as the queen.if jesinta fagan cant answer the simple questions asked tonight.how will she be able to represent us for the other pageants outside dominica?
Michelle an Jacita gave the best answers so she can answer a simple question FYI….and like previously stated it is consistency that counts….though michelle may have gotten best talent and best questions her other rounds maybe didnt make up to get her in the top three…..but on the other hand jacinta was consistent in all rounds so the points added up in the end..be smart if someone 90, 85, 50 60 20 they will get get lower than someone who gets..80,70,75,70,85..consistency is key ppl remember that
If it was between the two of them then how come Michelle did not place?
I agree with you completely.
well ANONYMOUS make a crown for michell is she u seeing as queen. simple as that
two rounds alone michelle was goo in so how it can be bewteen her and jacinta. michelle dress was ugly and not fiting well, michelle to hard in that swim wear her colour was not going with her, michelle costume was to heavy for her and she stiff. so those others bit in those wrongs . SO WAT THE HELL ALL U MAKING NOISE ABOUT SHOW JUDGED FAIR
hello free up my girl u that maybe ugly and stiff leave michelle alone she should have won
I am of the oppinion that Michele Joseph should have placed in the top 3. This is certainly discouragement to our young ladies. Congrats to Jacintha, you did well but Michele should have placed.
really not sure how the points were added up, they claim its being consistant
she is too too young….if michelle had given that exact same performance in maybe 2 years time she would of won hands down
If she was too young, then they should have told her that from the beginning. You should judge the young ladies on the performance of the night and not on age or size.
Dont forget Michele Joseph came into the competition when another young lady pulled out…perhaps she too was contemplating doing it in two years.. I was also of the opiinion that she should have placed…but the more I look at Jacintha, the more she is growing on me…go out there and represent DA girl…Im behind you %!!!!!!!!
Congrats Miss NCCU. We are ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY.
I loved her from the start…Congrats my queen………You deserved it…..Beauty and all……….
that show was bulls……who was giving the points….
Great job done….You deserve it
yay!!!!
Congratulations!
All in all, it was a good show!!
Congratulations to the winner!!
Congrats my girl!
These are some of the most beautiful girls in Dominica, I can not deny. But I was shocked when none of them could answer a simple question.
How are they supposed to represent up fully in regional competition?
CONGRATS! Ms Fagan. I always thought you would win. You did the competition with such ease and poise. Enjoy your reign. Please work on the question portion of the competition.
Also, all you girls don’t need to sing because it is talent round. i am sure you have a real actual talent. Talent was really disappointing along with question and answer.
FYI Michelle and Miss Dominica answered their questions beautifully.
No they did not. They may have done better than the others…but there was much more to be expected.
tell it to them again..dunno what was up with the singing..I mean it is afterall the “talent’ round..if u canna sing DOH sing ..toneh
i cannot understand that
i dunno what the ruth augustine girl was thinking with her, “ill do it my way” alas…..at leave dominicans was nice enough to make her feel like something for that round lol…wosh!
Seriously the singing was horrible well not all and 5 out of 7 of them sang they should of tried something different…to me most of the contestants were really nervous during the question an answer round and you could see that but i cant blame..though they have an idea of what the questions may be this is the only round which they have not rehersed for countless nights so it kind of gets them of guard…Earlyn really disappointed be that round….you could see that she she knew what she wanted to say but she didnt deliver it properly
I believe they get all the questions in advance but select randomly. If that is true, then they have no excuse for sounding so stupid.
SHE DESEREVES IT. CONGRATULATIONS. TO THE REST OF THE GIRL GOOD JOB.
I uess u all got the results efore it was given. The contestants could have simply checked u all to find out who won before results was given
so how is it that michelle joseph get best in question and answer and best talent and she doh place
because they wanted the labassiere girl to win so they had to mess up the points on the other rounds.
best talent and best question and answer and to me she was the best in evening wear, and she did not win, come on
she did not get best in evening wear…. and the best talent wasn’t for her she was totally off key none of her low notes were heard……. she should of just played the violin and done with that… but she deserved a place in the top.
u also have to consider the fact that yes she did get best in talent and best question but maybe her points in the round were not that great…her evening wear was not all the great an it didnt fit her very well so all dat is a deduction of points….the other segments maybe didnt do her juctice to get her in the top three.
THAT THEY NOT GETTING IN THEIR HEADS . WAT ABOUT OTHER YEARS WHEN THEY GETTING MANY PRICES AND NOT PLACING, DOE FIND MICHELLE WAS ALL THAT.
BUT U NO I REALLY THOUGHT THEY WOULD THEIF FOR HER LIKE HOW THEY HAD THEIF FOR HER FOR TEENAGE PAGENT.
….I….GLAD……
the results was announced less than a minue ago
