Well I certainly don’t bet. All teams are there with one intention and that is to win. So who says Brazil is unbeatable?

Congrats Netherlands, now that very important win should boost the team’s ego to go all the way and win the finals. Really funny but let’s wait and see.

Okay a good soldier always go to war prepared for instances such as this, so as a good soldier I have my back up plan. Oh yes, my PLAN B … Germany and Argentina, they are my back up plan. So now I’m relying on one of them to at least advance to the World Cup Finals.

Ahhh, I can’t stand defeat but I have to concede and not shed a tear about the Brazilians loss today. I have decided not to shed a tear because in the last three games they were not playing good and were getting too many cards (both red and yellow). But nonetheless I started out cheering for Brazil, Argentina and Germany so I want be a waggonist.

Now the big deal in my home is that my beau is cheering for Netherlands. Now can you imagine the agony he is putting me through? First it started when Netherlands equalized with Brazil (1-1), there was the phone call. My, My can you imagine when they scored one more and moved to 2-1? It was worst when he finally got home (which I think was in a rush) to begin celebrating and teasing me at the same time.

But Netherlands look out one of my teams coming back to clip your wings (heels) and then I will finally have the final laugh. Well then I will be celebrating with RED STRIPE BOLD (Beer).

Michael Thompson always remember that in most cases the last laugh is the best. Lol. Love you.

There will be various displays of mango dishes and other by-products. This year Boston Style Jerk Mango will be on display for the first time in the history of the festival. Think about Boston Style Jerk chicken and pork, which is very popular and craved by Jamaicans and visitors to the Island and imagine what it would be like to finally taste Graham and other mangoes prepared to wet the appetite and the taste buds.

A family oriented entertainment package is included in the list of activities for patrons to be entertained while consuming graham mango and it by-products. Headliners will be Tarrus Riley and LUST.

Tarrus Riley who is touring heavily this year to promote his Contagious CD and has been popular on the charts for some years now, especially with his most popular song to date “She’s Royal”, also with hits such as “Beware”, Protect Yuh Neck” and “Stay With You”.

The Group LUST which is comprising of four talented and melodious singers coming together to provide a blend of sweet musical harmony: Lukie D, Thriller U, Singing Melody and Tony Curtis. The Awesome Four.

Also appearing on stage will be gospel singers Noreta Lewis, winner of JCDC Gospel Song Competition back in the 90s, who has been doing well on gospel concert stages all over the Island; and Tameka Houde, winner of Gospel in the West Song Competition 2009.

The event will be hosted by Lady Mystery, the Mysterious Lady Radio and Jenny Jenny of HITZ 92 FM.

Stevie Face recently released a compelling, emotionally touching video for his “Computer” Paul Henton produced hit single “In the living years,” which was originally done by the American group Mike and the Mechanics. This lead off track from the album “Tell it like it is” has been creating waves internationally and has topped several charts as well as contributed to Stevie being voted best reggae singer for 2009 in the UK.

The video was premiered in the USA on Tempo as well as on BET Jazz, where it gained a coveted rotation spot (which is very rare for a locally produced video) and is running concurrently on 24 Cable Channels across the Caribbean, East and West Africa, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Not withstanding, the video was also simultaneously premiered locally on the high profile CVM show Onstage programme last week, and is already in heavy rotation on the top local video stations including RETV, Hype TV, Suzy Q’s Video Alley, and several others islandwide.

Shot on locations in Yallahs, St Thomas and Long Mountain Kingston, this video was directed by Director Asha from Fareye Films and depicts a strained relationship between a father and son and the impending sudden loss of the father, which drives home the finality and the true heartfelt loss to the son who now reflects on the memories of good and bad times, and the regrets of not taking the time to say the things that were left unsaid. Stevie Face has truly driven home this video, making the song come alive in a riveting true to life performance. Stevie pointed out that a video will be in the making shortly for the Donovan Germain / Penthouse Records produced song “ Thank you for loving me” and promises to deliver something special for the ladies on that one.

The management and staff of New Image Promotions extends our deepest sympathy and condolences to the family, remaining Voicemail members and friends of the late Oneil Edwards R.I.P.

The group Voicemail... Oniel Edwards (center)

Lady Mystery mourns the passing of Oniel Edwards who succumbed to his injuries  he sustained when he was shot five times over two weeks ago, and send my condolences to  his family, friends, the popular dancehall group Voicemail of which he was a member and his many fans across the globe. His passing is a great loss to the entertainment fraternity and he will be sadly missed.

Oniel Edwards was shot five times, once in the head, during an attack over two weeks ago. The main suspect in the shooting was found dead in the Chancery Hall community on Tuesday, May 11. Police said the unidentified man managed to escape a dragnet set up to nab him the previous day.

Edwards’ cellular phone was found in the dead man’s possession. The body was clad in green short pants, white T-shirt and blue slippers and was found on Lady Hamilton Close with several gunshot wounds.

A second suspect was picked up by the Manchester Police in that parish on the following night and is being transported to Kingston where he will be questioned by senior homicide investigators.

Edwards was attacked and shot several times as he attempted to enter his home at Belloc Avenue in the middle class community of Duhaney Park on May 10th. He had been listed as critical even though he was said to be breathing on his own.

Roots Reggae singer/songwriter Mystic Bowie will be performing at the 22nd staging of Western Consciousness. Western Consciousness is one of Jamaica’s premiere calendar events, known for its presentation of artists of the highest standards. The event is scheduled for Saturday, May 22 at the spacious and beautiful Paradise Park in Savanna-La-Mar, Westmoreland, Jamaica.

Since the launch of his latest album “Nevah Kiss and Tell”, in Jamaica on November 10 and his appearance at Negril Escape Winter Concert Series alongside Tarrus Rile on November 17 last year, Mystic Bowie has not performed on the Island and his fans are hungrily looking forward to see him on stage with his energetic vibes and the positive messages he always delivers.

The Jamaica Singer who now resides in Connecticut, USA tours heavily in the United States and Canada. Visit his official website for upcoming tours in your area.

Of all the display booths that will be at the event I’m sure most patrons will be checking out the Boston Style Jerk Mango Dish, which will be introduced for the first time in the history of the festival. Think about Boston Style Jerk chicken and pork, which is very popular and craved by Jamaicans and visitors to the Island and imagine what it would be like to finally taste Graham and other mangoes prepared to wet the appetite and the taste buds.

In addition to the mango displays, a family oriented entertainment package is included in the list of activities for patrons to be entertained while consuming graham mango and it by-products.  This year’s staging will feature:

Tarrus Riley who is touring heavily this year to promote his Contagious CD and has been popular on the charts for some years now, especially with his most popular song to date “She’s Royal”, also with hits such as “Beware”, Protect Yuh Neck” and “Stay With You”.

And; The Group LUST which is comprising of four talented and melodious singers coming together to provide a blend of sweet musical harmony: Lukie D, Thriller U, Singing Melody and Tony Curtis. The Awesome Four.

The committee is still in the planning stages and will be including other artistes and family oriented activities to be announced soon.

The event will be hosted by Lady Mystery, the Mysterious Lady of Vybz 96.1 FM and another energetic Radio Broadcaster who will be named in subsequent releases.

Ernie Smith (born Glenroy Anthony Michael Archangelo Smith, c.1948, Kingston, Jamaica) is a reggae singer, with a deep baritone voice, who had his greatest success in the late 1960s and 1970s.

Smith was born in Kingston and raised in St. Ann. He initially (unsuccessfully) sought a career as a radio announcer, but then approached Federal Studios looking for work as a songwriter, ending up recording his songs himself. Recording initially in an easy listening style, Smith’s first chart success came in the late 1960s with “Bend Down”, which was followed by Jamaican number one hits in “Ride On Sammy,” “One Dream,” and “Pitta Patta”, all produced by Richard Khouri at Federal, the latter based on Lee “Scratch” Perry’s “Musical Transplant” rhythm, which was voted the best song of the year in Swing magazine. In 1972, he won the Yamaha Music Festival in Japan with “Life Is Just For Living”, a song originally written for a Red Stripe commercial.

In 1973, he was honoured by the Jamaican government with The Badge Of Honour For Meritorious Service In The Field Of Music. An album, Life Is Just For Living followed in 1974 on Trojan Records. “Pitta Patta” was followed by further Jamaican hits with “Duppy or Gunman” and “Key Card”. Smith also had success with covers of popular songs such as “Help Me Make It Through The Night” and “Everything I Own”, and as a songwriter had success at the Festival Song Contest in 1974 with Tinga Stewart’s “Play De Music”. Smith’s “Tears On My Pillow (I Can’t Stand It)” topped the UK Singles Chart in 1975 when recorded by Johnny Nash. In 1976 his “The Power and the Glory” was seen by some as a criticism of Prime Minister Michael Manley’s policies, and led to threats on his life, prompting him to relocate with his family to Toronto, Canada, where he recorded the albums To Behold Jah and Skareggae.

In the late 1970s, Smith largely appealed to older audiences and released Gospel-influenced records such as 1978’s I’ll Sing For Jesus album. In 1981, Smith moved to Miami to be closer to his wife and children, later moving to Fort Lauderdale, but was beset by financial difficulties and cocaine and alcohol problems. Smith found help in the form of Bob Marley’s mother, Cedella Booker, who he collaborated with as a songwriter, and in 1987, film director Perry Henzell asked Smith to write songs for his Marcus Garvey musical. Smith returned to Jamaica in the wake of Hurricane Gilbert, and began recording and performing again, initially with a new band, The New Agenda. In 1996, he released the Dancehall Ernie Cleans It Up album, featuring new recordings of some of his best known songs.

In 2008, Smith returned with Country Mile, an album that was preceded by the singles “That’s The Kinda People We Are” (a duet with Pluto Shervington) and “Give Her a Lion” (featuring Ron Muschette).
