REGGAE artistes I-Octane and Romaine Virgo were the two standouts at the 12th staging of GT Taylors Christmas Extravaganza at Independence Park, Black River, yesterday morning.
Due to the lack of proper time management, some of dancehalls highly anticipated acts got very little or no time on stage. Bounty Killa and his Alliance squad set was cut short whilst Aidonias performance was less than two minutes. DJ Spice didnt get an opportunity to perform.
When I-Octane made his entrance on stage the patrons went into a frenzy. Aerosol spray torches were ignited and the symphony of horns and whistles was almost deafening.
Among his strings of hit songs delivered during the first 15 minutes set Mind Who Dem A Diss, Study Yu Fren Dem, Burn Dem Bridge, My Life and Loose A Friend.
During his performance, a huge fire was lit in the general section much to the disgust of several patrons.
The torches were re-lit when the Alliance and Gully Squad lead by Bounty Killer and Mavado, respectively, hit centrestage.
Mi want dem free up Vybz Kartel as mi and him have unsettled business, said Mavado before hurling the lyrics to several hit songs such as Im on the Rock, Starlight, Whe Dem A Do and Delilah.
Kiprich also gave fans a teaser of what to expect at Sting with the clash with Tony Matterhorn, Merciless and himself.
Before his set on stage came to a premature ending, Bounty Killer, gave his social commentary in such as Poor People Fed Up, Caan Believe Mi Eyes.
Khago, Cocoa Tea, Twins of Twins, Teflon, DAngel, Macka Diamond, Lutan Fyah, Chuck Fenda and Zamunda gave a good account of themselves.
For the past few years the dancehall scene has been completely dominated by the likes of Vybz Kartel and Mavado. Almost all the rhythms going out had either one, or in some cases, both of the entertainers featured on it. It is clear that the thinking amongst the producers was that these men were needed to guarantee the success of the project. However, one listen to the recent releases from emerging producers and you will see that is clearly no longer the case.
Young producers seem to be more focused on releasing quality productions that display their skills and create awareness about them. They no longer see the need to get a brand name artist on the project as they are finding that going that route is simply too costly. Digital Sham, owner of Digitalize Records and Phamily Productions is one such producer who shares that belief.
Since the start of 2011 Digital Sham has released two rhythm driven albums both collectively featuring the likes of Fyahkin, Dexta Daps, Harry Todler, Unicorn and a host of others. He has just released his third album for the year and again has decided not to invest in any of the big brand name acts. His latest album entitled, Hill Top Riddim, features himself, Karamanti, Ju Ju Irie and few others.
Sham believes that the cost of getting more established artists on the projects are just too much for the upcoming producers. And unfortunately, getting the big names does not mean that you will get record sales or mass amount of downloads. Most producers now prefer to put the money towards promoting the songs, as that is also very costly these days.

TV show Metropolis traveled to Tokyo, Japan to meet Masanobu Sato, the world champion of masturbation. This hilarious preview of the episode starts with Masanobu in his two-hour training while his girlfriend casually sews and cooks. She considers masturbation his hobby but Masanobu takes it very seriously, so much so that flew to San Francisco and won the prize (and world record) for the Longest Time Spent Masturbating/Male (9 hours and 58 minutes) in the 2009 Masturbate-a-thon. The entire episode is dedicated to the last taboo and answers the questions: What does the world think of masturbation? And how do they do it?

Reggae icon Buju Bantons legal woes were certainly a hot topic for the Caribbean community this year as he was tried and sentenced on drug-related charges. The embattled star is currently serving a 10 year prison term at the Federal Correctional Institution in Miami, Florida after being entrapped by law enforcement officials.
However there may be light at the end of the tunnel, sooner rather than later for the I Wanna Be Loved singer after an error on the part of the United States government. Reports are suggesting that the singers trial should have taken place within 70 days of his arrest, as this is a guaranteed right under the Sixth Amendment in US judicial procedure.

Say it aint so Andrew! Sorry, I mean, say it isnt so Prime Minister Holness. Election is right after Christmas and just before the New Year?! I seriously have to rant about this. What were you thinking Mr. Prime Minister? How can you call elections so late in December? This is the period when most people are in the middle of their Christmas celebrations and do not want to be disturbed. I thought you said you would not disturb our Christmas but that is exactly what you are doing Sir. Yes Christmas is on the 25th of December but Jamaicans start celebrating Christmas from Christmas Eve straight back to about January 3rd. Some even begin earlier than that.
If you did not want to disturb our Christmas Sir, you should have waited until January or you should have called the elections during your honeymoon period. Yes I know these things take great planning and a lot of thinking have to go into this process and various factors have to be taken into consideration but were the majority of the Jamaican people and our entertainment calendar not factors taken into consideration? It seems not.

Embattled dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel was remanded in the Home Circuit Court today in relation to the Clive lizard Williams murder case.
Supreme Court judge Leighton Pusey ordered that Kartel and the others with whom he is charged return to court on January 13 next year.
Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, is charged jointly with fellow deejay Shawn Campbell more popularly known as Shawn Storm, fashion designer Calvin 'Moonie' Haye and Kiro Jones.
Two other men have been charged by the police in relation to Williams killing.
The Home Circuit Court was told that the case against the two is before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate Court.
The case against Kartel, Shawn Storm, Haye and Jones was transferred from the RM court this morning to the circuit court.
Attorney-at-law Valerie Neita-Robertson today complained that the crown did not inform the defence of its plan to have the case moved to circuit court.
Neita-Robertson said the defence was upset by the decision, as it had plans to make a bail application noting that Kartel and his co-accused have been in custody since October.
Justice Pusey ordered the crown to provide the defence with copies of statements and video recordings allegedly linking the men to the killing before 2 o clock tomorrow afternoon.
The judge also ordered the crown to turn over all material in its possession to the defence before 4 oclock on January 5 next year.

Vanessa Bryant, has filed divorce papers from her superstar husband, according to reports. TMZ is reporting that Vanessa Bryant, Kobe's wife of 10 years, has moved to end their marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Vanessa has requested joint custody of their daughters Natalia Diamante and Gianna Maria-Onore, who are 8 and 5 years old, respectively. Kobe and the then-Vanessa Lane met while he was shooting a video for his hip-hop album, which was never released. Lane was a 17-year-old backup dancer who was still in high school. When Kobe and Vanessa married in 2001, his parents and sisters who disapproved of the relationship were not in attendance. In Shaquille O'Neal's recently released memoir, Shaq says that none of Bryant's teammates, with whom he had a thorny relationship, were invited. In 2003, Kobe was charged with raping a 19-year-old hotel employee at a Colorado resort.
Before the case went to trial, Kobe settled out of court with the accuser for an undisclosed sum. It was during the leadup to this trial that Kobe brought Vanessa an 8-carat purple diamond ring worth nearly $4 million.

Manchester United could return to this season's Champions League if the Swiss Football Association fails to comply with Fifa and punish FC Sion.
Sion were thrown out of the Europa League for fielding ineligible players in their match against Celtic.
The Swiss FA has until 13 January to act and Fifa has threatened to suspend Switzerland and their club sides.
If the ban took effect, FC Basel would be ejected from the Champions League and United could be reinstated.
The Swiss champions knocked Sir Alex Ferguson's side out of European football's elite competition and into the Europa League, earning a 3-3 draw at Old Trafford before winning the home match 2-1.
Sion were put under a transfer embargo over the signing of Egyptian goalkeeper Essam El Hadary, but proceeded to sign six players in the summer.
The six players took their case to a civil court in the canton of Valais, which ruled they could play, and subsequently fielded them in the Swiss league.
Sion then fielded five of the six players during the Europa League play-off tie against Celtic and were kicked out of the competition as a result, with Uefa's decision to expel them upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Thursday.
Fifa has now ordered the Swiss FA to enforce a ban on registering six Sion players signed during the transfer embargo.
"As a consequence, all matches in which the relevant players participated shall be declared forfeit or three points shall be deducted respectively," Fifa said. "Should this deadline not be respected, the Swiss FA will be automatically suspended from 14 January 2012 onwards."
Under the terms of a Fifa suspension, a country's national and club teams, referees and officials are prohibited from taking part in international matches and meetings, or receive Fifa funding.
Uefa said it was confident the Swiss Football Association would comply with the Fifa request before the January 13 deadline. "Should this not be the case UEFA will review the situation nearer the time," Uefa added.

ATLANTA -- Atlanta police say the rapper Slim Dunkin was gunned down Friday evening in a city music studio as he was preparing to record a video.
Police Maj. Keith Meadows said the rapper, whose real name is Mario Hamilton, was fatally shot in the chest after getting into an argument with another individual.
He was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Meadows told The Associated Press late Friday that police have not been able to identify the shooter. He said investigators have been interviewing those who were inside the studio. He said as many as 20 people were inside the small office-type building at the time of the shooting, which took place around 5:30 p.m., but they were in different places.
Police have not recovered the handgun that was used. Investigators remained at the scene late Friday evening.
"Right now we're just trying to....identify who may have seen what, really just trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together," Meadows said. "It seems everybody witnessed something very different. We're just trying to go back and make sense of everything."

The Dallas Mavericks acquired Lamar Odom from the LA Lakers for a $8.9 Million trade exception and a protected first-round pick on Sunday! The Lakers also threw a second-round draft pick! After the CP3 to the Lakers three-team deal fell through last week due the commish, the Mavericks still liked Lamar Odom and Odom felt disenfranchised from the Lakers! The Mavericks also just traded C Tyson Chandler to the Knicks, and liked the potential of a forward tandem with Dirk Nowitski, Shawn Marion, and now Lamar Odom!
Right now, for me, having Odom, Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, we may have the best forward trio in this league right now. And thats exciting, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. Lamar Odom is a guy we have great respect for as a person and as an all-around player in this league. We feel hes going to add so many different dimensions for us length, playmaking, scoring, experience, championship experience. espn
