Spectacular Performances Set For Miss Jamaica World 2011 Grand Coronation Show

The 34th annual staging of the indubitable Miss Jamaica World Grand Coronation Show is this Saturday September 10, 2011. Come prepared to be blown away and enthralled with beauty, poise and elegance as the illustrious Jamaica Pegasus in the heart of the New Kingston business hub will witness the crowning of a new beauty queen. With so many gorgeous ladies to choose from, the judges will have a very hard time. The organizers have pulled out all the stops from the beginning; from the launch to the fast track competitions and now the final ‘element’, the Grand Coronation show.

Speaking of element, the theme for this year’s show is entitled "Beauty of the Elements" with fashions from the Fantasy photo shoot that was shot at the picturesque Boone Hall Oasis. At the helm of the production is Weston Haughton who has been working with the MJW pageant since 1983. According to him, “the audience can be expected to be taken on a Fantasy ride as the contestants dubbed “Daughters of the Elements” will portray EARTH,WIND,WATER and FIRE in stunning outfits designed by the Uzuri International duo of Mark McDermoth and Karl Williams.” He continued, “The Stella Maris Dancers are the "Children of the Elements" and will, with, exciting choreography bring new meaning to the term "rhythm in motion". Musical Director Andrew Henry has selected popular hit songs that should have the audience rocking, he ended.

The evening’s showcase will be about colour, high energy, and beauty in all forms as the 20 ladies will 'tun it up' in a showcase of loveliness. Along with the expected glitz and glamour that usually accompanies the MJW coronation show, the patrons will be treated to an evening of live entertainment and stellar production in the form of the headline acts for the evening which will be the former Byron Lee and the Dragonnaires diva come designer Ashley Martin and reggae Ambassador Tarrus Riley.

A true star in the making, Ashley has paired her sexy and seductive image with her voice that has soul, originality and flair to create a powerhouse that is on the verge of becoming Jamaica’s next Marcia Griffiths. Ashley has performed at some of Jamaica’s most elite functions such as the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival and has shared the stage with a number of award winning artistes such as Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight and more recently Nicki Minaj at Reggae Sumfest. Tarrus Riley has been making waves on the reggae circuit with a number of hit songs with the most popular and far reaching being “She’s Royal”, an anthem to women everywhere. To date he has released three albums, “Challenges”, “Parables” and “Contagious” that are still receiving rave reviews from the public. With his movement titled BLACKSOIL, Tarrus has continued to dominate the award scene each year copping awards such as the Youth View Awards, the EME’s, the Reggae Academy Award and multiple more. Riley’s most recent high profile performances include the 2011 Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival, Reggae Sumfest 2010, Betty Wright and Friends in concert, and the Palmyra Foundation’s Fundraising event. He is currently working on the release of his fourth studio album, which is expected later this year.

Unfortunately for many pageant lovers, there will be no live telecast this year on TVJ due to the coverage of the World Games. With that in mind patrons can come out expecting a mind-blowing show as the production levels has been increased for this Saturday at 8 when the new Miss Jamaica World 2011 is crowned.
