The bar has been raised! Jamaica has seen the best STING in over ten years courtesy of the well planned acts, new stage, lightening and not to mention the bands that stayed on key throughout the night.
The has also seen the best performance it has ever seen since its conception. Busy Signal gave the performance of performances . Hair raising , exciting , energized to the tilt. The artist who was recently incarcerated brought it to Sting, the bar has been set so high by his performance that it will undoubtedly bring positive changes to the music. The game has changed, the music has been risen. Sting 2012 Jamaica is the best

Over the recent years patrons disappeared in high numbers because of the poor line up and dull performances Sting gave. The concert which has made many a career in Jamaica’s music industry was in shambles. Only to be rescued by Joe Bagdanovich C.E.O of Downsound Records.Jamaicans abroad were in anticipation of this year’s STING, and were not disappointed. Bagdanovich brought back the money and respect the concert needed , the artists seemingly performed to the best of their ability. The event was well promoted , extremely well organized and for the first time STING had a professional look!

The night began with the usual with amateur artists performing first, many of whom delivered . Outstanding performances in the amateur section given to Mr. Kool and a gentleman who sang on the forty-five rhythm. An emotional tribute was given to Captain Barkey, by his long time friend and music partner Wickerman.
It appears that the promoters of Sting 2012 granted the wishes of the female performers and made them perform at a later time. Performances by Lady G and Etana were the highlight of the women for the night whereas the women were concerned. However a stage suitable wardrobe would be the only recommended for both women. Stacious , who came on stage wearing a nude color body suit delivery was spot on with the exception of her wardrobe which bordered between tacky and tasteless. Gaza slim who came out in a a memorable outfit paid tribute to the incarcerated DJ Vybz Kartel was visibly nervous and appeared to not be in control of her feet as the shoes she was wearing appeared to have caused discomfort.
Many artists who performed appeared to be on one accord as they all voiced their disdain about the cases of sex abuse that have been plaguing Jamaica’s news recently.
Sting 2012 will go down on record as being one of the most eventful if not the best . As mentioned, Busy Signal raised the bar and his performance went unchallenged throughout the night.
As beauty isn’t without fault, the greatest are often imperfect and for the first time in almost thirty years a brawl broke out on stage. Gaza artist , Popocaan who came well dressed to the event was apparently and understandably insulted at Black Rhyno’s attempt to drown out his performance by over- singing him, which seemed unplanned. Popcaan shoved the young man off stage telling him ”Go write your own songs”. Black Rhyno quickly got back on stage and hands and feet seemed to have taken over the performance. Security could be seen trying to breaking up the men up as the attack appeared to the orchestrated by the attacker and men were seen rushing towards Popcaan , trying to inflict blows. He was advised to finish his performance but was given security.
The most pleasantly surprising performance came from Chronixx. His entrance on stage was distracting but his performance was superb.
Sting’s mascot would have to be none other than the recently returned Flippa Mafia who surprisingly performed well and was well dressed, if not the best dressed male of the night. His antics however, took away from his performance as he not only threw money at the crowd but took out what appeared to be a brand new paid of Louboutins and proceeded to put them on. The Dj came on stage with a travelling bag which contained cash , a few bottles of champagne and the shoes that he had put on.

Disgrace was also on the menu as Schinique and Schenique, who are commonly known as ”Teacher’s Pet Twins” came not only half clad as usual, but had a third party with them, and proceeded to do a dance clash against three well known professional dancers in Jamaica. Disgraceful it was , because these young women did not give the other three young women a chance to complete their set and proceeded to show their usual stripper moves which included bending over , showing a sparsely covered rear and pubic area.
Disappointment was also served in the form of no show, after the anticipation of what appeared to be the clashes of clash. This did not happen. Macka Diamond who recently made two songs, challenging Spice did not enter the stage which seemed unexpected as Spice clearly prepared to be clashed. A farmer and a donkey who appeared to be wearing dentures were present for Spice’s set . Macka Diamond failed to come to the stage after being called out over five times.

The tag team clash that also followed was another disappointment as their was none to challenge Kipprich who came out decked in full native Chinese attire. His lyrics were quick and sly no match for Matterhorn who won the clash against Twins of Twins in the last Sting. Mericless did not stand a chance as his rights were read to him by the newly belted King of Clash..Kiprich.

After seeing what Sting could have been , there is much more anticipation for next year’s Sting which undoubtedly will be greater.
