Dear Editor,
The 2014 season of The Voice is on and one contestant is a beautiful young Jamaican-born lady Anita Antoinette.
I ask why is there no support for her, even a fraction of that given to Tessanne Chin winner of the 2013 competition? Where is our Ministry of Tourism, and our media houses on this one?
Could someone step in and give Jamaicans at home and abroad an opportunity to see and support another potential winner. I do not care whether she is from the "uptown browning class" or from whatever class, we should not discriminate, there is tourism opportunity and mileage in her also.
It is also interesting to note that many more familiar reggae songs are being performed by contestants this year, but, of course, Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff are their favourites. Anita did a beautiful chair-spinning rendition of Marley's Turn your lights down low.
Let us support Anita like we support footballers and whichever person, many of whom only their grandmother is Jamaican-born, at least she "born ya". Let us embrace Anita Antoinette, another of our own, in the NBC The Voice competition. No excuses!
Good luck Anita!
