It is 9.30PM and Rihanna is being celebrated in song by the best musical talent which Barbados has to offer in Independence Square, Bridgetown, Barbados. The tribute is occasioned by Rihanna’s capturing a Grammy Award and her international success over the last 3 years. Prime Minister David Thompson has wasted no time in setting things in motion to recognize his fellow Combermerian and world famous Superstar. Rihanna entered the Square in style aboard a boat commanded by the one arm cancer Olympian Andrew Burke. Many Barbadians were anticipating that Jay Z, who signed her to his international label Def Jam would have accompanied her to Barbados, it turned out to be Chris Brown the American Pop Star. The Internet has been congested with the buzz in recent times about a romantic association between the two. The fact that he has accompanied her on this special occasion maybe enough to confirm the deal. Rihanna was flabbergasted when in a proclamation read by Minister of Culture Mr. Steve Blackett she was elevated to Youth & Culture Ambassador for Barbados. She was also given a piece of land in the exclusive and ritzy part of the island, a place called Apes Hill. Finally the crowd went wild when Chris Brown was asked to visit the stage to cut the cake with Rihanna. We are back to the TV to enjoy the rest of the celebration!

    David, how could she be more of a princess? what more would a twenty- year-old have to do or be…
    …you must have a bit more faith in Bush tea (LOL)
    …the other combermarian on stage will come good too…. he just needs a chance to settle and get over the novelty of the limelight – like Robyn.

    Rihanna is really special though…. you check how she defused the cake cutting thing with Chris Brown?!? professional, cool and collected.

    Come to think of it, she is a girl of all ‘Cs’

    ….cute, coy, cool, combermarian, cadet

    One bit of advice to her though – from the Bush tea-

    What LandRover Freelander what?!?

    Get rid of that junk as soon as you can sweetheart -or you will end up as poor as a Bush tea….ask Debbie for a benz…

    Times like these (professional ones) you need an MC the likes of Wayne “Cool” Simmons. Him and Sophia Cambridge, or the lady that hosts the “chat room” would of been so wonderful an eligent pair.

    Did Kevin thing that he way in the Gym doing a MADD Show? There is a time for everything.

    Rihanna,

    What can I say, pure elegance on stage through out, she has been brought up well and regardless of what people think she has to have good people around her, to keep her grounded. She deserved everything she got and more. Hope she enjoys her vacation.

    Bush Tea,

    I agree, Get rid of the LandRover Freelander, ask for a Benz instead. or ask Debbie for a benz

    For me, the only thing that spoiled the night was that jackass Kevin Hinds.
    Where was Wayne Cool?
    Kevin Hinds has no damn class whatsoever.With all the celebrity gossip going around, he just had to get in his bit by constantly asking ignorant questions.
    If I had any doubts that Rihanna knows how to handle herself, they were dismissed tonight by the way she handled this clown.
    One would have thought it was a tent recording.

    The show was great and a fitting tribute to a young Barbadian who is going places. and she remembers Barbados as Prime Minister Thompson noted. I compliment the government for honouring her. She deserves it and is a great ambassador for our country already!

    Hats off to the PM and the Minister of Culture!

    I only saw it on TV, but thought everything about the show was superb. Many congrats to all concerned: the Govt, the producers, the technical crew, the performers (not forgetting the absolutely kickin’ band and back-up singers).

    So many cool touches (the bridge being raised, Rihanna arriving on brave Burke’s boat, the PM’s nice (and short!) speech of welcome, the shower of coloured birthday confetti as Arturo serenaded her…). Rihanna looked simply beautiful, and so happy…

    Best performance? For me it was the exhilarating duet between Turo and Livvie Franc. Clearly a world-class act (though the Lil Rick-loving crowd seemed underwhelmed by it). The gospel tribute was slamming too, and Shontelle wasn’t bad. And Kid Site was wicked! Loved how he slammed that “traitor” Gabby…!

    Worst? Well, I’d have to say the only really cringe-making performance was Ayanna John’s attempt at ‘Umbrella’. I was kind of hoping the camera would cut to the VIP stand so we could get Rihanna’s face as her song was slaughtered….

    As for KB…I couldn’t disagree more with the posters above. Lighten up, people. He was terrific! Sure, he was a bit crude and tasteless at times, but never nasty and never over-the-line. He seemed just right for the occasion. After all, this wasn’t a real Bajan FAMILY event, a celebration, like a wedding or birthday party, and KB was like the naughty uncle joshing the bride and guests.

    Wayne Simmons? Sophia Cambridge?Boring. I’m tired of them and their stuffy presentation style (though I agree that pretty, stylish and sexy Belle Holder would have been a much better choice of co-host than gravel-voiced “mek some noise people” Hurricane)…

    Still, all in all a fantastic event, one to remember. Happy birthday Rihanna!

    I think KB was out of line during this event with the Chris Brown thing, putting Rihanna in a very embarrasing position. Calling out Chris like that on numerous occasions and then to suggest “I don’t want to see nah tongue” when you cutting dah cake was really outrageous.
    Maybe the corn-rows were too tight KB.
    Hurricane should have spoken to you on thew first occasion of your leud outburst. GOD BLESS RIHANNA!

    I am in total agreement here. Kevin Hinds was a disgrace. Hurricane and Hinds should stick to dub fetes. No sense of occasion, protocol, timing or decency. PM Thompson had to take the mike from Hinds in order to bring sanity to the proceedings.

    First time seeing Rihanna close up. She’s beautiful. But I did not like the hair do. Next time please get Doug Hoyte, PG, or someone with more maturity and class to emcee. Tony Cave should give Kevin Hinds lessons in stage manners.

    The occasion was fantastic to honour our Bajan Queen, this lady was totally professional, she was in control and she is going to make. I thought I saw “Bajangirl” in the front row shouting out Rihanna. Anyway Mr. PM. your decision to give her a tangible gift of land was commendable. Remember, it will show her that regardless of jer professional status, she must always remember home. Also the awarding her with Youth Ambassador was a fitting tribute for the youth.

    Now to the biggest disappointment for the night. Kelvin Hinds was an insult to the our Prime Minister, Rihanna, her gust “CHris Brown, the International Press who covered the occasion, BET, the many sponsors for the night, the invited guests and most of all ‘we bajans’. Kelvin, you should come back and apologise to Barbadians for under-rating and almost destroying an occasion that should have been a fitting tribute to our ‘Guest of Honour’, Rihanna. Although the PM took the mike from him, realising that it was not professional in the way he keep shouting out Chris and Rihanna constantly. Kelvin also spoke about ‘tongue’ with the cutting of the cake. Rihanna, you handle that situation with grace. By the way, is this the same Kelvin Hinds that is on the board of CBC? I say no more.

    Hi Rhianna–This is wishing you all continued success in your career. I must add now that you are a high-profile-celebrity there are a lot of negative things you have to ignore in the press, people will always criticize regardless of what you do..being a Barbadian myself, living abroad, I do understand how you feel, because I have also experienced the snobs and resentments of the Barbadian people whenenever I visit Barbados. In my opinion they are their worst enemies…keep the faith. OMC

    ps–I applaud the Prime Minister David Thompson, for such professional response.

    The evening was an outstanding success and made so by the sterling effort of the organisers, and the person of the moment Rianna.

    Let us not forget that heart warming speech delivered by Mr David Thompson it was sincere and meaningful.

    The low point of the evening was the inept effort of Kevin Hinds ( a person that I have always loved to see perform) but last evening he was well below par and bordered on arrogance.

    All in all it was a most enjoyable and uplifting evening, my congrats again to the organisers, to Rianna, to Mr David Thompson our PM and to everyone who attended and behaved so well throughout the event, with not a single report of an incident to the police is really an outstanding result.

    If i was a past or present student of Combermere, Kelvin Hinds would have made me regret ever going there. It is such a sad shame that an educated person can behave like a total jack ___, especially when he knows the international press were there. What business is it of his if Rihanna and Chriss Browne together. You can read you know that the tabloids on pun d girl fuh that already, did you have to highlight it. Lil Rick you made me sick. NO BEHAVIOUR. I honestly hope that when CBC repeats the concert they cut out the MC and Lil Rick and I think the show would run smoothly. Next time PM if you need an MC look at people like Casandra Samuels, Wayne Simmons, Sophia Cambridge, Carol Roberts, Bell from Good Morning Barbados, Jewel Forde or even Admiral (although I am not a fan). They would have done you proud and those viewing overseas would wonder where we got such talented, well speaking people from. Not those who can’t command the English Language. These people would probably need a vodoo witch doctor to translate the MC’s words.

    I am very pleased for Rihanna and Barbados, and her appointment as Ambassador for Youth is appropriate, if we are to accept the culture of this day and age! All of her gifts from private companies are very well-deserved.

    However, I must ask a question about the gift of “a piece of the rock”. Bimbro alludes to it above. Was this gift also privately donated? If so, the owner of the land should have been acknowledged by PM David Thompson, or at least he could have said that it had been given by a donator who prefers to remain anonymous. If the land was owned by the Government, it was not David Thompson’s to give, and as Bimbro says, why can we not all have a bit?

    There may of course be many Bajans who would endorse such a gift from the public purse, but I wonder what would be the result if a referendum were taken!? I do not think many would object to the expenses of the evening being paid for by the Government, but “a piece of the rock”?!

    I really thought that the night was disturbing, to say the least. The MCs where both out of order. Kevin Hinds for his behavior throughtout the entire night and Hurrican for not, by the knowledge of the public, stopping him or even telling him to hault for acting like a ignorant man. Honestly, Barbadians were there to support and congratulate Rihanna, not to be harrassed and questioned about her personal life. Her relation with Chris Brown, be it friendship or more is really none of his or anyone’s business. I found that that was OUT OF ORDER!. He owes Rihanna an apology and the the public for such disgrace. CONGRAT to Rihanna and many more years of success.

    Sometime we have to separate friends from foe, in this case Kelvin seems to be hell bent to destroy last night’s proceeding. If you all were part of the party’s musical promotion for the election, you could have gotten away with such behaviour, last night was actual protocol and you should have behaved accordingly. Kelvin, if you was man to behave like that last night, you should be man to come publicly and apologise to the Hon. Prime Minister and the lady of the night, Rihanna. Where was Belle of Morning Barbados fame.

    A poster on the Breadfruitlime.freeforums.org said the following and i concur.
    =============
    I know who for one will not be attending the Rihanna glorification concert on Independence Sq. tonight – MOI. And, I probably will not be watching on TV either. If nothing else, it is my way of protesting the mis-ordered priorities in this little country of ours. Call me old fashioned but I grew up in an era when education, the quest for learning, knowledge and the advancement of society and civilization were still worthy goals; now it seems transient pop culture and its association with the quick buck are all that matter. How else can we explain the squandermania to unfold in Independence Sq. tonight to celebrate the luck of one little girl but the almost total disregard for the hard work and scholarship of at least one other whose efforts may one day save the planet?

    I doubt you can find ten Bajans in Independence Sq. tonight who know that Dr. Leonard Nurse is Barbados’ first Nobel Laureate sharing the prize last year along with former US Vice President Al Gore for his work on Global Warming. Now, let me first say that personally I do not subscribe to all the hysteria Global Warming has become, but a lot of other people in the world do and it is being touted as the most important issue of our times. However, the government of Barbados (both old and the new governments) while giving some lip service to the concerns of Global Warming themselves chooses to largely ignore Dr. Nurse and his worldwide recognized achievement while at the same time apparently it cannot get enough of the intoxication of pop stars “bigging up” one another.

    How many people in Independence Sq. tonight can even remember Rihanna’s first hit song even though that was only about two years ago? We have already disposed of that like a piece of toilet tissue. This is not to say that Rihanna’s achievement is not important nor that music is not valuable, but to emphasize that there are more important and lasting things in our culture, country and world to which we need to pay more attention. We need more Dr. Nurses and less Rihannas if we are truly serious about becoming a developed (First World) country.

    Kevin Hinds made me ashamed to be a bajan. It was a pity that he spoilt what could have been an almost perfect night. He ain’t got dog class. Regardless to if he and David Thompson are best buddies, that gives him no right at all to address the PM in the way that he did. He owes all of Barbados a public apology.

    As for Rhi Rhi she is very deserving of everything she got. She is a class act.

    Could not help feeling sorry for Kevin’s daughter she also seemed very ashamed at her father’s stupid and low class behaviour.

    Well I never watch these things, or go to these sort of things… for me, new Mac Os Operating systems or sexy new Macs or Apple hardware or gadgetry are the only thing that will get me to queue in adoration and such. The last time I did it, I got roaring applause when I walked through the door because I was the third Mac devotee through the door.

    So I can only comment from second and third hand reports of last nights events.

    Congrats Rhianna, a Combermerian and we’re proud of that. Pity about KB, a Combermerian and not so sure we’re proud of that. Maybe he just wanted to keep a sense of Barbadian ‘realness’ to the evening… a sense of the raw commentary and behaviour one gets on the byways and highways. Even so, clearly he missed a note and struck a raw nerve instead.

    Fortunately, Barbadian memories (like memories of many around the world) tend to be short when it comes to certain escapades. Even the notorious recover given enough time.

    I also wanted to commend the poster above for sharing the bulletin board post about Dr. Leonard Nurse’s achievement.

    I think that’s the sort of achievement that surely deserves a ticker parade… lauding, celebrating and definitely a spot in Apes Hill too, don’t you?

    I am truly proud to be a Bajan and proud of Ms Rihanna and all in one breath I won’t be recommending Kevin Hinds as a future MC. Just plain ole tardiness is what I C. The night’s event could have been even less stressful for the guest of honor if she had not had to also endure her signature song being slaughtered and for all the world to C.

    Still – I think the people of Barbados remain forever proud of you Rihanna!

    I know of the fund and plan to contribute to it. It is for the Worldwide treatment of children with HIV/AIDS. It is a new charity. News of it was carried in Canada the week of the Grammys. Sorry, we do not get Bajan TV up North.

    By the way Kadri, the Grammys have some 60 categories, honouring muscis of all genres and all corners of the world. There is even a category for polka. The reason this is not well known is that 75% of the awards are handed out before the broadcast and not carried live. Search the grammy site. I usually do to see who wins for Africa and of course – polka. For 5 years in a row, a transplanted European who lived in Canada won this category. The African this year was a lady called Njini or something like that. There was an African who used to open for Peter Grabriel who was nominated in the 80’s (when you were a baby). I attended one of their concerts, dont remember if he won. Think his name was Ndour something. By the way, how is your music career coming along?

    Please remember that because a person does not make it big in NA does not mean they are failures – Joseph Niles, the Draytons, Mighty Charmer, Trade Winds, Allison Hinds. Sometimes it is better to be a big fish in a small pond than vice versa – less sharks!

    Words cannot express the disappointment that I am feeling right now about the way in which Kelvin Hinds conducted himself and represented the competence of our bajan people.
    I also blame the organizers of the concert for their poor selection of persons to conduct this event. This event could have been one that showed our bajan ingredients along with a high level of professionalism.
    You don’t have to be raw and classless to be a bajan!
    I stood in shock at what I was hearing and seeing in independence square. Many people did too….We could not believe that that was the best we could offer Rihanna.
    The tone was raw, unprofessional, and inappropriate….
    Rihanna’s expression should all the signs of shock and embarrassment….Why Kelvin? Can’t you assess a situation and conform to appropriate behaviour? You made bajans look like unintelligent, backward people at an international level. You need to apologize to every single one of us.
    Just pray that most of the international viewers have short memories like us bajans.

    But I was ashamed of the poor grammar and crude talk from the MC’s, Rhianna was cringing in shame.

    There is a time and a place for everything.

    Many of the MC’s comments were in poor taste and Rhianna dont need hal the things she was given.

    But I think R and C are a beautiful couple (fingers crossed).

    Time to ease up on KB. He deserve some licks but we don’t have to kill him… he apologized.

    In the first place I like to place blame where it REALLY belongs….. in this case it is with WHOEVER organized that show.

    I have known KB for years… he has ALWAYS been KB…. so what did we think? he would suddenly become Maurice Norville?

    If you hire a mongoose and place him among the chickens – you think he will suddenly become a vegetarian?

    Second thing…. I refuse to blame Lil Rick either..for the same reason. He had NO right to be invited there. Lil Rick is Lil Rick is Lil Rick.

    Third thing…. I blame all we Bajans who just came out in full support of a Senator with his hair in corn rows operating in the Senate. Don’t you think that this may have led Kevin to feel that ‘anything goes bout here’? Who exactly is deciding WHICH standards to lower?

    …and finally, Mr Anonymous with the Freelander – you think I didn’t have one of them too? It was worse than the BMWs the Taxi men complaining ’bout… Now on the other hand…the merky….uhhhhhh
    …besides you think Rihanna care bout a few miles per gallon? But I bet she won’t like breaking down all bout the place….

    I have always heard if you start on the wrong foot you WILL end up lame.

    The whole thing went down hill when Rhianna stepped off the plane and approached and greeted the Prime Minister in the manner that she did. It was an immediate breach of protocol and etiquette to be hanging on the PM’s shoulder and being flippant to his wife, when they were standing in an official capacity.

    If Ms ri-ri was going to meet the queen of England, she would have been pulled aside and versed in protocol, there is no way on God’s green earth she would have greeted the queen with a hug and hanging on her shoulder.

    I am not surprised that KB was struck with foot in mouth and everywhere else disease. He is by all observation, base, crass and oafish. We as a people have tolerated and even encouraged this type of behavious from these people for how many years, you can’t ask them to come back now, we are only complaining because we were embarassed as a nation on an international level, if before the world felt that we just fell off the mango and banana boat, Kevin Hinds convinced them that indeed we did.
