Five local artistes, Monique Chapdelaine, McKenzie Baltimore, Hashim Lewis, Breezy, and PG13
will be going up against 10 of their US Virgin Islands counterparts, in a quest to become the next VI Idol on August 11th.
Alvin Marks of LP Entertainment, USVI, commended the local performers and advised the finalists to go onto the VI Idol website to see the performance of the 2011 finalists to get an idea of what is to be expected.
During the competition Chapdelaine attained the highest score after she earned a high 10-point rating from all of the five judges for her rendition of “Heaven Must have Sent You.” Renowned artiste Baltimore earned second place with 49 points after he smoothly delivered his hit “Inseparable”.
The two rappers that make up PG-13 earned 48 points for their performance and had the audience laughing with their funny lyrics. They were also commended for their hype and energy by the judges. Hashim got rave reviews from the judges for his choreographed performance and his snazzy outfit. While local rapper Breezy sang two of his popular tunes.
Up for grabs is a $3,000 cash prize, a 10-song album, a music video to be produced in high definition, a cellular phone and the VI Idol trophy. Those who are lucky enough to be on a BVI VACATION can enjoy the event.
