Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall Samples May Pen
Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall rolled into May Pen last Saturday under cloudy skies, but the weather was not a signal of the talent that would shine out from the Parish. Almost four hundred princes and princesses came out to the Leiba’s Esso Service Station and the promise of rain did not dampen their Spirits. Contestants came from all over the south coast; from St Elizabeth in the west to St Catherine in the east, all for a chance at stardom.
Like in Portmore the majority of contestants were men but there was a notable number of female contestants and while they were in the minority their lyrics were up to par. There was also the return of some contestants who did not get through in the Portmore round. Tanto Blacks who was in the competition last year and also at the Portmore auditions this year, tried again in May Pen. Dre Blunt, who auditioned in Montego Bay as Nauceous and also auditioned in Portmore returned to May Pen to try his luck but there is no word as to whether he got through.
Filled with the usual humour and comedy as well as witty lyrics, the May Pen Auditions were a success; Scatta, Miss Kitty and Professor Nuts have a hard task of choosing the top ten from May Pen.
Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall will now turn to the Garden Parish of St Ann in its quest to find Jamaica’s next king and queen of Dancehall. The St Ann Auditions will take place at the Amnesia Night Club in Ocho Rios on January 9. Auditions begin at 9:30am sharp with contestant vying for a place on the Magnum big stage.
The final audition for the third season of Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall will take place in Kingston at Limelight on Saturday January 16. The competition will then move on to the audition eliminations on TVJ which begin on Saturday January 23.
