    None could come close to being birthed on stage like how King Karresah did it. lol What a show! Very high standard and excellent job to all the competitors. King Dice I waiting to see a fierce battle amongst you, Karresah and Tasha P! I am not missing next year for sure.

    I love, love, love this performance!! This is astuteness to the core!

    Ian’s involvement totally crowned Karessah’s performance. This is the true spirit of carnival where everyone participates – ministersof government, etc.

    Fantastic! fantastic! fantastic!

    Carnival lover!

    ITS AN UNPRECEDENTED FEAT THAT MISS BAPTISTE WOULD HAVE DONE SO WELL IN A POLL OF THIS NATURE; THIS AGIN UNDERSCORES HER LEVEL OF POPULARITY AND THE VERY HIGH ESTEEM IN WHICH HER MAJESTY baptiste IS HELD IN BY HER LOYAL SUBJECTS .

    WE IN DOMINICA AND BEYOND APPLAUD YOU AND WISH YOU THE BEST IN NOT ONLY YOUR LAW STUDIES BUT DURING YOUR REIGN AS QUEEN.
