Miss Dominica and Miss Caribbean World, Nadira Lando, was among 14 contestants from around the region who participated in the Miss Jaycees pre-show in Antigua on Wednesday evening.
The contestants appeared in three segments: swimwear, talent and evening wear.
Although the contestants were judged at Wednesday evening’s pre-show, the top 10 will be revealed on the night of the main event on Friday, August 3.
A further five will then be selected for a final round.
The other contestants at the event are from Anguilla, Barbados, Curacao, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, the British Virgin Islands, St Croix, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Kitts & Nevis, Trinidad & Tobago and the host delegate from Antigua and Barbuda.
The 51-year-old Miss Jaycees Caribbean Queen show is one of the most prestigious pageants in the Caribbean.
oh yes we did it congrats my girl way to go
@ Supporter, Miss Universe is a BEAUTY PAGEANT, the ladies do not participate in a talent segment but are judged primarily on their physical appearance and eloquence. If a girl choses to do drama as a talent, then thats her decision, she just needs to proper coach to facilitate a strong delivery. The problem with drama at talents is that most of the ladies have no professional training and therefore, the talent falls flat. Anyway, good luck to Miss Dominica, the competition is VERY tough.

She’s a beautiful young lady…..hummmmmm…
Well all i can say was the judging at the pre-show so far was very tight.we had our work cut out for us.. So we shall see come tomorrow the out. Much luck Ms. Dominica
How do you know how the judging was? I was there too, I didn’t hear or see anything about how tight it was… perhaps in your opinion you mean?
Puss..because i’m a judge that why… You don’t know who i am. But carmem i was a judge.. Thank you
OMG she looks like jennifer lopez in this dress.
i was at the show and when she came out i said that she looked like Selena
a lot…that’s what you cll a look-a-like…
That’s a much better swimsuit than that red thing you wore in the show in St. Vincent.
Looks good, All the Best
all u Dominicans too like to complain…do you have a better one, or can you even wear a swim wear like that?
That is not the point. She is D/ca National Queen competing in a regional competition and representing Dominica. We have every right to voice our opinion… to you it is complaining, to many others .. being objective (or subjective) whichever one you may choose.
you go girl
That’s Dominica’s queen, none of the other contestants looks as gorgeous as her. Top glass, see her looks in both segments above. Colour, beauty and pose. Lovely Nadira.
good luck cuz hope u do well so far she looking great swimsuit and evening wear rocking
dress looks like spider web
Natural beauty, love that dress, wishing you all the best and bring the crown home, also regardless what’s the outcome you’ll still be my queen
Good luck Ms. Dominica and remember that you are all winners.
Loving that swim suit. Beautiful Body
I pray 4 ur success into the finals
Goodluck
She better get her act together. One cannot forget the recently held show where she did not place. Somehow, I hope you have done your analysis and evaluation and better prepared for this show. It is a competition, not simply a SHOW!
Just wish her good luck for this competition. Forget ab out the last one
I know that ‘s all she need is good luck . there is a thing saying forget about the past and move on . all the best Miss Dominica
Good luck Nadira and pray before every round.
Nadira u rock girl
If she’s not the winner she’s definitely in the top 3
I wish our Queen all the best in the Miss Jaycee show. The only thing is that I hope she has a new talent which is strong and a new creative wear. She used the talent at two different shows already, I think the pple and the judges would like to see something different!
The talent segment should be something God blessed you with (eg; singing, dancing, playing a piano etc.) I really have a problem with the participants coming on stage doing Skits. If you are talented at dramatizing then fine, so I don’t know why majority of those girls coming and act on the stage.. Not being negative just stating my opinion!
All the best Queen Nadira.. I’ll be supporting you, bring home the crown!
i think it should be called creative expression instead of talent… cuz that’s not talent at all
True but what if the person cannot, sing , dance or play a muscial instrument?
When they sing all you will come and say they singing for talent and they cannot sing. What isf is Drawing that is their God given talent?
Should they come and draw on stage? LOL
Skits will never go out of season!
But what talent are we getting from the skit? A message? Well rather they practice a dance or someting that rather looks like a talent than come do drama on stage.. Cuz They still do nonsence in the drama, sometimes it makes no sence! And if you watch Miss America and Miss Universe the girls are well informed about what they are doing and you’ll NEVER find any skit in the talent segment!
Plus them love songs they are playing for them to walk in their dress I just don’t like it.. I think they should really follow how the Miss USA pageants are organized.. Too much lay lay!
I HER TALENT IS GOOD WHY SHOULD SHE CHANGE IT
EVEN SHE USE EVERY WHERE SHE GO AND IT GOOD SHE SHOULD KEEP IT AND PUT MORE EFFORT INT O IT THAT ALL GOOD LUCK MY DEAR .
WOW, you are simply the best!
Wow the evening wear is stunning she looks great hope she makes it in the top 10 good luck nadira
