Miss Caribbean World title retained by DOMINICA ONCE AGAIN!!!

Dominica has done it again! Last night Marcia Baptiste was crowned by Dominica’s Marah Walter as the new Miss Caribbean World 2010 when the show ended in the wee hours of Sunday morning at the Multi-purpose Complex in Road Town.

Baptiste, who is winning her first regional crown since being crowned Miss Carnival Queen (Miss Dominica) title earlier this year, follows in the footsteps of compatriot Marah Walter who won in 2008 – one of three regional titles Walter captured during her reign as Miss Dominica in 2008.

One thing I must say, it's sad that in this day an age that I cannot find a Facebook, Myspace or official website for this pageant. Organizers really need to work on their online presence. If you are promoting Caribbean integration, then afford those within the region who cannot attend the show to still feel like they are a part of it.

Iyaz featured on Billboard's Monday Mashup

Check out Iyaz' feature on Mashup Mondays singing Green Day's "21 Guns"



Tere's something about Green Day: those guys go hard," says R&B newcomer Iyaz, who chose the punk trio's 2009 single "21 Guns" to mashup with his sweetened tenor. You wouldn't guess it, but the singer, who scored his first Pop Songs No. 1 in January with "Replay," is a big Green Day fan. "I've been listening to them for years... so I said why not do a cover [and] show my appreciation for their music."



Iyaz was attracted specifically to Green Day's rocking power ballad "21 Gun," a No. 3 hit on the Alternative Songs chart (and No. 5 on Rock Songs), because "I feel free when I listen to that song."
