Bajan Model Sedia Jackman Competes In Caribbean’s Next Top Model

Sedia is no stranger to modeling & the public eye. She has made a significant impact on the local Barbados fashion scene, making many appearances on runways & ad campaigns. She even followed in her mother’s footsteps in becoming a Banks Calender Girl! One of the most publicized & renowned beauty titles in Barbados. She also competed in 2011′s Miss Barbados World where she placed second!

Now, Sedia has successfully entered the first official Caribbean installment of the famed America’s Next Top Model franchise. She will be competing against many other beauties from around the region to be the first winner of Caribbean’s Next Top Model. The program is hosted by the fabulous former Miss Universe 1998 Wendy Fitzwilliam (from Trinidad & Tobago), who I think is the ideal choice for such a job.

Barbados Music Awards 2010-REVIEW!!!

This year’s Barbados Music Awards was held at the Garfield Sobers Gymnasium on Sunday, 10 January 2010. Hosted by international bajan top model and current Miss Barbados Leah Marville and Jamar Browne.

 It was an A-class event attended by some of the elite in fashion and music!! Some of these attendees were;

International Barbadian top model Sara Collins, donning a fabulous design by local designer Nefertari and jewelry provided by Diamonds International

Music icon and force behind the Jackson legacy, Joseph Jackson

Local top model Sedia Jackman and family arriving at the awards

local pioneer within the fashion industry, Betty West!

Now, let’s talk about the performances. The good, the bad and the …..

First up, the ever-fab Ria Borman..

This vocal powerhouse shook the entire gymnasium with her goosebumps-provoking performance!

The gorgeous Livvi Franc

 Ms. Franc stepped up her game from the MIX96.9 Jingle Jam! And I was impressed! The international bajan star performed Lovey Dovey and Now I’m That Chick. Her stage presence and energy on stage had improved immensely since the Jingle Jam!! 

And speaking of the Jingle Jam, Jaicko also made a significant improvement from the Jingle Jam performance. He created a never-ending hype amoungst the audience and engaged them in his performance. Not to mention his back-up dancers, who were once again fly and on point!!

Rubytech was letting the people know that he’s back… but I’m still waiting patiently for his return. I was not moved nor impressed by his performance. However, this talented young gentleman has so much potential and needs to show more personality and carisma while on stage. We’ll be waiting Rubytech, ’til you come back.

THE MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE: Choreography by Trevor Pretty

THE MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE: Shane Reese (Michael Jackson impersonator) was absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Smooth, flawless moves. Even Joseph Jackson said, "That was the closest to Michael Jackson that I have ever seen." That alone should tell you how great this guy was!

The moment everyone was waiting for… FANTASIA!!!

Fantasia gave a breathtaking 45 mitunte soul performance. Whereas most artistes give a two song performance, Fantasia performed an amount of songs close to an entire album!!

There was even a point where she invited Bajan soultress Ria Borman to join her on stage for a freestyle.

Overall, the event was great! From breathtaking fashions to mind-blowing performances and international celebs, the 2010  Barbados Music Awards was the place to be!!
