Review of Gros Islet Carnival Queen Show

The 2010 Gros Islet Carnival Queen Show was held on Friday July 30th at the Gros Islet Primary School. Five beauties: Ave Marie Fedee, Chrissy Daniel, Kaila Gregg, Jenita Joseph and LuAnn Gustave competed for the title of Gros Islet Carnival Queen 2010. Many people from the town of Gros Islet and its environs were on hand to witness who would become Gros Islet’s 2010 Queen.
The introductory number was a dance to Shakira’s popular football world cup anthem ‘Waka Waka’. All the contestants dazzled with fluid movements and the flowery language of their introductions to the judges and the crowd.
The first segment for which the contestants were judged was the Talent Segment. All of the five ladies proved to be very talented. However, Chrissy Daniel emerged as a clear favorite with her talent on domestic violence/spousal abuse. The talent referenced pop culture icons Riri and Chris - (Rihanna and Chris Brown).
Next it was a flurry of sparkle, color, sequins and of course movement in the costume segment. Contestants were judged on their presentation of the various costumes borrowed from carnival bands.
In the Evening Wear segment the judges had the task of assessing the fit and suitability of the evening gowns and the poise and elegance with which the contestants portrayed those gowns. During this segment the crowd seemed to have identified its two clear front runners for the title of queen.
The interview segment would be the defining moment. For Chrissy Daniel the nerves set in and she struggled with her answer. Jenita Joseph remained consistent. Kaila Gregg was relaxed and confident - sealing the deal for best interview.

In the end the prizes were announced:

Best Talent was awarded to Chrissy Daniel with a talent which received an overwhelming response from the crowd and judges
Best Performance in Costume was awarded to Chrissy Daniel who moved like a dream in a blue and silver costume from Red Unlimited
Best Evening Wear went to Ave Maria Fedee in a gorgeous, fairy tale, purple gown.
Best Interview was awarded to Kaila Gregg for near flawless answer.

And then it was the moment of truth. The runners up and the queen were announced:

2nd Runner Up - Ave Maria Fedee
1st Runner Up – Chrissy Daniel
Jenita Joseph was crowned Gros Islet Carnival Queen 2010
