WHY ON EARTH DID YOU GUYS CONTRACT THIS FELLAH TO COME PERFORM IN DOMINICA. IS THIS THE BIG SURPRISE ABOUT WHICH YOU SPEAK? WELL YEAH, YOUR POOR TASTE HAS SURPRISED ME. BEFORE GOING OUT THERE SELECTING PERSONS TO PERFORM AT OUR FESTIVAL, YOU MUST FIRST GO OUT THERE AND DO YOUR RESEARCH, AS HAD SUCH BEEN CARRIED OUT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND OUT THAT THIS YOUNG MAN LACKS STAGE PERFORMANCE / PERSONALITY. I AM SURE THAT MANY WILL ATTEST TO THE SAME. PERFORMING AT THE WCMF DOESN'T JUST REQUIRE THAT ONE SINGS WELL, SO TOO SHOULD ONE NEED TO HAVE A CERTAIN ONSTAGE ENERGY.

So where is the soca performance in the line up. i hope thats the surprise artist because i coming all the way from St. Maarten just to part take in this WCMF

I was looking for something more interesting. All the performers mentioned seems to be old performers, some of them I never ever heard of before. We need some more soca or even some good reggae performers. For the prices of the tickets, its not worth it coming all the way from Califonia to come and see some local perfomers. You can always do that at anytime. For the creole festival, I think they should have a variety of other performers.

yow i need to see more soca artist i know da love it zouk music but you all have to understand that we the people love our soca music too.
too much zouk more soca and better reggae artist.
I WOULDN'T SAY COMING FROM HOUSTON -tx to see local bands is a watse but the price of tickest ,spice it up for us the young people.

Samething I said. Wow.

see U there

BORING LINEUP. PEOPLE TRAVELLING FROM THE US AND SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY FOR AIR TRAVEL NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF FESTIVAL TICKETS --IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT YOU HAVE SELECTED SO MANY LOCAL BANDS, REGGAE ARTIST AND OLD MEDIOCRE PERFORMERS WHAT IS REGGAE DOING IN A CREOLE FESTIVAL. I SUGGEST THAT THE YOU CONSIDER CHANGING THE NAME FROM WORLD CREOLE FESTIVAL TO "LOCAL MUSIC FESTIVAL". VERY DISAPPOINTED EACH YEAR IN THE LINE UP AFTER ALL SEAN PAUL, WCK AND TRIPPLE KAY SAME STYLE. IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT "WORLD CREOLE FESTIVAL" BRING ARTIST FROM AROUND THE WORLD THAT PLAY CREOLE MUSIC.

I am Domincan to the bone. born and raised. I have not missed a i have been to every fsetival expect the last three. thats only cause i moved t maimi. i will be home for this one but honestly. who exactly is on the committe and dont they know anything about music. i mean do they have to get the same people everytime or they just lazy in looking for new and more entertaining artist. where are so many not just good but great soca, zouk, compa and even reggaa people out theyr that they have to go for so many of the same artist. i mean come on. if ur gonna charge the people of this country that already ahve it hard but yet take the little they have to support u at list for god sake get something good, and even new. This festival should change it name from creole festival to just music festival cause the creole is so missing. GOD I MISS EDDIE.....

wow hold it up here people , this is not a socaa festival or a reggae fiesta , this is WORLD CREOLE MUSICFESTIVAL GOT THAT,,,,,,,,,,,,, first of all we did not need sean paul , neither machel montano . there we could have bring in sakis out of africa and put in our very own mechelle henderson.and the prices of the tickets are very good , cause the artists have to get paid. and if u dont want to come fine , there is alot of people that cant wait to get a flight to come. and for u talking about old performance wkae smell the coffee its reunion ,the thousands of dominicans going home want a taste of the old music to . hey u guys dont know nothing about our culture.

but when u reach in dominica then u will understand what the festivakl is all about . enjoy it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My input is basically we have to keep to the theme of the festival it is after all a creole festival which explains it self ,why we are trying to change it ,This is unique to Dominica,I think it is ok to add a few other attributes to the show like a some Soca, and Reggai but I think the creole should stay primarily to the creole festival that is what makes us different .,

i think that congratulations is in order for the promoters of WCMF! the fact that there's still the major aspect of creole in play is really significant' plus there's the added saca and reggae flare to cater to individual taste and preferences or just for more flavour. it is an excellent thing that there's so much local performers, at least some of that money will remain at home where it is urgently needed. I am in Toronto and is dying to come home 4 this massive fete but guess what? no connecting flights, so to all of u who are actually complaining, give up your flight so that i can be there to enjoy all that and just to jump in the river!

yeah. I agree we need some booming soca artist,, please please

Quite frankly, this is soo not associated to creole music or our heritage!! Let's wait and see what he does on the "big" night.

I am Jefferson Smith a born Dominican from Lagoon Portsmouth and I am traveling all the way from Honolulu Hawaii to be part of the World Creole Music Festival. I am very excited to be part of my culture once again after so many years. I know it's not easy putting stuff like this together, but if I can be of any help in the near future feel free to let me know. jeff_smith007@yahoo.co.uk...one love to all.

i have to been to shows where he performed. i am not impressed with his performance. i must add that after being enjoying a great line up at last years fest, am dissapointed with this years line up.

Although i am not so much of a Creole Festival Fan, it seems that we have problems attracting new artists tog ive a variety of music. How many of the performers this year have participated in the festivals of the past. I think if we are looking to attract visitors from across the Carribbean then rightly said give us different types of music. I see nothing wrong in promoting the local bands and performers. Actually I have always said that Nasio should have been performing at the festival. His performance at Creole in the park last year was legendary. What about Morgan Heritage giving a performance or bringing some of the latest CAribbean Stars. What about Allison Hinds or Destra. . Zouk has its day but maybe if we broaden the scope of entertainers then we will widen our audience.

The Festival line up is wack, the price is ridiculous, $300. for a man that can hardly dance and sing same time, and for an soca artist artist who have been to d/a b4 i mean, come on. It's reunion yr ppl want to reunite not separate.
More work needed next year,
I won't be attending this year's festival.
I was looking forward to this thing so much, becuz here in D/a the morning we always have to go back to work, so some of us only attend 2 nights, i was planning on going all the way this yr but, guess that's $600.00 less

I'll be there very soon all the way from the UK for this years creole festival. I was also there last year and must say Beres was wicked! It is important to bring over a good World Class reggae artist just to mix up the soca. All packed and good to go - can't wait.

Enough complaining!!! It's the World Creole Music Festival. Creole Music is what I wish I could come to Dominica to see. I can see Soca and Reggae artists in the states. I crave the local Dominica bands as well as the other Creole bands. Stop complaining.

he was an asshole did not perform good and he lookin like a borgara!

he was an asshole did not perform good and he lookin like a borgara!

Sean Paul has NOOO stage personality. He changed the beat to all his songs also at the performance. No more Sean Paul. I will get the CD instead. MACHEL MONTANO ROCKED!!!!!! He made up for Sean Paul.

he was a boogarah and an ass hole
