The right side shoe, belonging to reigning three-time Calypso King Gregory “Karessah” Riviere which reportedly disappeared on the night of the Calypso semi-final competition last weekend, has been found.
However, he is struggling whether he should “use the shoe or even touch the shoe.”
“Should I wear the shoe? Should I not wear the shoe? Should I cut the shoe? Should I burn the shoe? Should I throw it in the sea?” he told DNO on Thursday morning.
According to reports, the shoe was brought in to the office of radio station Q-95 hours after Karessah pleaded for its return.
“Somebody called me and told me the shoe was found under the stage and it was brought to Q-95, but I haven’t been in touch with Q-95 as yet,” he told DNO. “I am hoping during the course of the day I will go across there.”
Fans of the calypsonian have had their take on the supposed disappearance of the shoe suggesting obeah or ‘coco makak’ might be involved.
“Now that the person who maliciously took my shoe over the weekend has decided to return it as a result of public pressure. I too have been getting advice from supporters family and friends as to where do I go from there,” Karessah said. “At the end of the day, the Karessah will make a decision as to what he does with the shoe that went mysteriously missing on the night of the semi-finals.”
He had described the missing shoe incident as “funny” and “unfortunate”.
dat shoe look like bro goods. just get rid of that hurricane shoe and buy something g classier!!!
it looking like “brogodow ” shoes from de time of hurricane David.?????????
Come on CLOWNARESSA. DOES This look like some publicity stunt for the finals ? I am certain it MIGHT form part of one of your songs ; either in part or in whole, verse or chorus. Dominicans are not stupid you know. Some even think that the SHOE was chosen because it is a political symbol of the ruling DLP. We may see issues about the shoe as a part of your presenation. We expect better.
While this is funny in deed. Some of the comments are pure rubbish. I can’t believe in this day and age ,people are so bent on believing all that evil stuff. Is that the level of thinking in our country. The shoe could have fell through the stage . Why are people so obsessed with such small thinking. As a nation , we cannot move foward if we are still so dense and naive. Pure rubbish. Inspect the stage . Maybe it’s time to build a new one.
karessa they get your shoe under he stage that means you will not even get a place in the top four.Every morning you wake up go outside your house by back until the day of the finals,just spit in de shoe three times and you can put it on but you will not beat dice with those weak songs.
Karessah two songs stronger that dice same melody nonsense, same words jump up alone we..no craft to the artform he just singing words. Every year is the same no creativity, if the crowd stop scream pure majeee we ….. Karessah is a good writer,performer,educator,speaker ,..new melody every song and he doh greedy for crown……
how is this news, really?
It is fishy that one of his shoes disappeared.
If it has a bad omen, it will disappear. Mark my words.
You should be apprehensive about wearing it. My advice to you is to burn it.
If you decide to wear it, prior to that, bless it with Holy Water.
I do think the best decision is not to wear it. Call it a day. Then make a calypso about it.
Face the Facts
You really are a hundred face hypocrite.
You use God’s name when you are defending the political rubbish that is going on in Dominica, but here you are bringing in obeah into this scenario. This could be the act of someone playing a prank and nothing as sinister as you are suggesting!
Why don’t you ask him to make a calypso about the abject poverty in Dominica, the lack of decent health care, the lack of employment, the lack of due diligence, the lack of the most basic needs of the majority of Dominicans, the lack of transparency about Dominica’s finances etc?
Stop using the Lord’s name in vain. You cannot choose to adapt the Lord’s teachings to suit your political bias.
You are out of place to call me hypocrite. Your views are your views. They do not represent mine. You are the hypocrite. So if you do not agree with me I am a hypocrite? Just who do you think you are? It shows a mark of your lack of mortal and spiritual intelligence.
You do not comprehend reality. Did you ask yourself what happened to his shoe and why he was not able to find it? There is a reason for it. You are the senseless one, a critic who appear not to have any brains and reasoning. You do not know more than I do.
Get this straight! I will not join some of you people in hating anyone. Those who do not hate are peaceful.
God is my witness. You are not my witness. You see one thing. I see another. I speak the truth of the matter.
I have noted that much has changed in Dominica from those days. Your problem is you do not appreciate what is good. You consistently look for what is not good. This is a sign of a critical mind, not a perfect one.
Dominica comprises of different people of different minds and different socio-economic background and status. All are not to be compared with one another. The reason why some are poor and others are not is not my business. Everyone should know why they are poor and why they are not. Much of it has absolutely nothing to do with the government. I have stated he did not make them, feed, clothe, house and school them. He is not responsible for them . Some of you lack this understanding. I could elaborate further. If you are intelligent you should know why.
Know that what affects you and some others do not affect me and some others. I do not make up stories and do not exaggerate. Furthermore some of us are more spiritually-minded than some others. You lack it.
I have reason why I stated to either bless the shoe with Holy Water to make the evil omen disappear or burn it. It is a godly advice. Do you realize that this may be an enlightenment that I received?
Get off your high horse. Perfect people (souls) are in Heaven. Your brains are not the same as mine. Allow people to comment just as you expect the same of them. OK! Are you on the side of God? If you were a holy person you would not criticize what I stated and denounce it. Therefore, speak for yourself.
God is good. I could write a book and also about what you stated and much more. It will not be a negative one but the truth, the crux of the matter.
Some of you are one-minded and narrow-minded. Learn from others and broaden your mind, mortally and spiritually. One day you will find out who is right and who is wrong. I bet you will not be the right one.
When some people die they will be highly disappointed that their views and advice were unworthy and were as much as not worth taken into consideration. You do not comprehend godly, lofty matters. So get off my back!
If you have money, be generous and help the poor/unemployed. It will please God most.
Well dno you making me laugh. You even put the picture of the shoe wi. Wooooooosh. Laughter is a good medicine
de alligator or crocodile he kill to make the shoes that hunting him. ha ha ha ha . On a serious note, I think it was somebody playing games, we need to take off our mind on evil. come on people, are we not a praying nation?
the word is Haunting, not Hunting.
Boy don’t wear that shoe. However I expect you to make a good song referencing that shoe next year carnival
This shoe belongs in the Calypso Hall of fame. Karessaha should advise Q, to send the shoe to the Calypso house.
One de night of the semifinals, while patrons feeling good, calypsonians in de grove to, nobody can find Karessah shoe. Lord tell me where de shoe pass, how it end up on Q. Was it in de trade house or on de autopilot plane. Everybody want to know and fraid to call people name.
Wish de shoe could talk and say where it walk, but alas whoever had de shoe last took out it tounge.
#OLD (One Love Dominicans)!
Karessah… what is your size?
…you playing man asking to get you shoe back and now that it is found you scared…..my boy what is yours is yours… Dice cannot beat you with that song he have this year….apart from tempo and melody, the song lack structure…. verse and chorus lacks cohesiveness….. so you don’t have to be afraid of Dicy… but look in your rear view mirror for the newcomer on the scene…. if her dad can give her another good song… and we all know he will….all Dem big man in calypso will cry on the night of the finals…(big up to Jacko) the best calypso writer in Dominica.
Please My fellow Dominicans please a shoe got lost or m is – placed and that’s on the News?
As a man think so is he my question what kind of SHOES was that is the question seems to be a very important shoe, I am only thinking out the box was it the same one Cinderella needed
It’s biblical as a man thinks so is he.
situations happen people he took it off his feet ,
not that he was sitting at dinner took it off for a minute and it disappear .
Wow
DO NOT TOUCH THE SHOE – BIN IT
“However, he is struggling whether he should “use the shoe or even touch the shoe.”
The Dominica suppositious mentally is at work, his mind is pulsating because of the fear of obeah dominating his mind: Oh boy; somebody had his old shoe, and put obeah in it, so if he touches it the voodoo will take effect on him, if he burn it he fear he will die oui!
Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahhaha!
That old oversize dirty looking shoe should long be in the garbage, that belong to a rubbish dump anyway! So what’s the big deal? Maybe the person who played the joke simply wanted to get his attention reminding him that is time for him to stop walking in that piece of old trash nuh!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Thats is an ugly pair of shoes for real. Time to upgrade buddy. Let me guess, you were going to wear it with with a baggy suit that look too big for you.
Do you know anything about Karessah? Please find out and Coke again. The man is more educated than you are. He probably bought the shoe in Australia while studying there, looks expensive.
“Should I wear the shoe? Should I not wear the shoe? Should I cut the shoe? Should I burn the shoe? Should I throw it in the sea?” U DONE HAVE THE CHORUS FOR THE NEXT TRACK FOR 2017
Make that one your new song karessah.
Allu make my shoe disappear
It’s ok cause I don’t care
All of you making your comments here, but to me the biggest kicks is Karessah referring to himself in the 3rd person. Only Kings did that in days of old.
What a guy.
big foot waiting for you brother dont put it on your feet
Karessah, It is a lovely pair of shoes and it must have been costly, but bro stay far from it. Take a stick to get rid of it. Don’t touch that with your hand. Pour jeyes on it then throw some alkali on it and say this prayer 7 times: Any evil programmed into this shoe against me, backfire in the Name of Jesus!
Greg,
Put the shoe in a corner and sing Shoe fly doh bother me.
This has got to be the funniest piece of news ever. hahahahahaha.
i dying here!!!!! hahahahaha this made my day!!!!! boy dominicans nah easy….these comments are hilarious!!!!!! dominicans are sooooo superstitious.
Good topic for the Second song.
Good topic for 2017 calypso… :-
Buy another pair of shose
Thank you DNO.
You made my day.
Obeah shoes. burn both!
send de shoe for de GOVT that’s their Shoe. the sign of Laybour
You put out an SOS for your lost shoe ….shoe found and you not sure if you want it. Look jokes sttuuuuuuupppeeeesss
take it with your left hand ,put gloves on and throw it in the sea/or burn it.
Make sure when you throw it in di sea is behind your back and don’t look back if you hear a little voice calling you when you walking home. You might turn to a pillar of salt. hahahahahahahahahaha. Look jokes on DNO tonight.
bro just burn the shoe and throw the ashes in the sea and never look back
“All I am requesting is that the person who took my shoe, please bring back my shoe because I need my shoe” Now u don’t know what to do… Smh… With all due respect.. Are you stupid??? And dno… How the hell is a shoe of news value to the public??
Have a sense of humor nuh! I came home feeling tired and read the story and the comments …. Lawd!! Laughter is not only good medicine, it is an energy booster.
Garson leave the shoe alone and do your thing on stage. Psychologically you need to be careful that the whole thought of the ‘obeah” nonsense don’t negatively affect your performance. While I believe wearing the shoes would have no impact on your health (clean it with jaze and then soak it sea water first), it is better safe than sorry for just burn both pairs of shoes for your own sanity. Regardless you will still win the crown bro. Just come harder than Dicee and whalah the crown is yours
Always Assertive!
throw that shoes
Is that ‘Gators?’
Gators from down under
No Kangaroo!
That’s unfortunate and mysterious , where was the shoe when it was discovered missing , any way I can understand the feedback from the public but I’m sure that the Karessah will make the right decision.
It’s my opinion I would suggest he do not use the shoe and don’t allow any one else to wear it either .
Burn that and finish with that is all
If u believe in God wear your shoes.God protects the innocent .
hmmm becareful ppl are very wicked my right slipper also dissapeared up to now i havent found it but am not afraid of the wickeness ppl can do cause God is greater than that
amen
Is that the King’s shoe? I thought it was a 2500US dollar shoe wii. Chinese stores in Roseau have better shoes than that!
Ridiculous. Its not about the shoe its about the hideous mysterious disappearance of the shoe and the intention of its disappearance. Could this be associated with the negromancy like what the people of Dominica is under spell. Don’t try to stray pal_lotte from the real issue or paloute, sticky slug. Which calypsonian can buy a shoe at the price you quoted? Calypsonians do not have the pocket of your Prime Minister Sdkerrit. Period!
Lotte little do you know Chinese do not sell leather shoes they sell knock offs, I hope you know what that mean so that’s how much you are so backward.
But Karessah man. You specially come on Matt’s show pleading for someone to find your shoe because it is so important to you. Well, the Almighty hear your prayer and some good soul find it for you to collect from Matt. I call that providence. Your prayer answered do not ignore it. Wear that shoe my boy , that is a good sign.
Trying to dare the man to use the shoe.karessah doh fall for that boy…
Karessah this one sounds very funny and I agree with some fans that obeah or ‘coco makak’ might be involved. Since you don’t seem to know what to do, here is my humble advise:
First, I hope you have a personal relationship with your God.
Secondly, If yes, then apply the blood of Jesus all over it and break every work of darkness that may have been placed on the shoe.
Thirdly, Don’t yield to the temptation of fighting obia with obia, but rather, keep your faith in the power blood of Christ which is more powerful than any work of darkness!
Forthly, as a demonstration of your faith in His Blood, use that same shoe on the night of the show just to let satan know you faith is in his blood.
By the way, I am not any of those so-called Spiritual advisors that keep misleading skerit
Put garlic in the shoes
Three holy mary, seven our father, two act of faith, one act of hope, one act on contrition, four I belive in god, and five I confess
Ok that was funny
is this satire?
Yaaa dat is a second song that coming derr
In GOD you trust…no one can hurt you. You a a blessed child and do not let that be any disturbance to you..,…what GOD has planned for you no one will not stop you from receiving it….
This may be “Karessah’s” social commentary on what he thinks is the perceived loss of “Right -wing Democracy- the Right Shoe)” and that he is left with only “the Left leaning socio-political order – (the Left shoe)”.
If that is the case, it is an interesting build-up to the finals. However, if the shoe was actually stolen then this is no laughing matter.
I believe it is Social commentary set on a platform of melodramatics, suspense and expectation. A technique straight from the curriculum of “Dramatic and Performing Arts” of most Performing Arts Academies. I know this technique because my son had to use it last week in his auditions in New York.
That would have been a great finish to a second song. Similar to what He did with Ian Douglas on stage in ” Dogs on the Track” . That stunt guaranteed Caressa the crown then. I think the impact might be reduced because the shoe has surfaced.
Best comment I’ve seen. That would be a really technique. Build up the public’s curiosity and suspense and hit them with at the finals. We all know the significance of a ‘shoe’ in Dominica.. Well said!
I love this! Refreshing!
I had stated the following in an earlier post “:
I have a 
strong conviction that this is a build-up to “Karessah’s” second song which may be titled “Gimme back my (Right) shoe (bring my shoe back)”. I have a feeling he will get the shoe back – it may be delivered to him on stage while performing in the finals.
This may be “Karessah’s” social commentary on what he thinks is the perceived loss of “Right -wing Democracy- the Right Shoe)” and that he is left with only “the Left leaning socio-political order – (the Left shoe)”.

I like that prognisis
In this case the shoes was stolen and Matt at Q95 announced this morning that someone dropped it off at the station, according to what he said they found the shoes under the stage so this was serious .
Someone placed it there. God and the person knows how it managed to be there, who placed it there and what they did with it in the interim.
As I stated, I would not wear it again.
Man burn that shoe,man to man is so unjust u don’t KNOW WHO TO TRUST.
I agree with you.
Don’t wear that shoe mr plz dont
