My beloved Barbados. I am a tried and true professional in the entertainment business for over 25 years.

Last night at the tribute to Rihanna (On Feb 21st 2008)I realize that some of my comments and actions may have offended some of you. Comments that may have been misinterpreted to be disrespectful of rank or position could have been unclear.

Let me state that I have the highest regard for the Right Hon. David Thompson, the Prime Minister and leader of our great Nation and, at any point, would do nothing to destroy the relationship we have developed since our school days at Combermere.

Last night, just after the PM’s arrival I may have called him David due to fact that I am so familiar with him as an individual. However, when it came to formal introductions, I did indeed refer to the Prime Minister with clear and proper protocol and regard.

At this time , let me seize the opportunity to apologize to Barbados, special guests and our new Ambassador, Rihanna and anyone I may have offended.

This is a picture of Rihanna taken by Ingrid with her BlackBerry at the Airport just a few minutes ago when she touched down in the lovely caribbean island of Barbados . Is Boyce Voice quicker than the newspapers or what ??

Rihanna is saying “Its good to be home and she wants every one to come out tonight” , so that means you reading this, make sure you are in Independence Square, Bridgetown this evening from 7 pm to support Rihanna.

Thanks to Ingrid again who made it all the way to the VIP room at the airport, compliments Rihanna’s dad, that is when you know people. I only know yahoos like Darron so I don’t get any where…. WELCOME TO RIHANNA!

Here is Ingrid and Rihanna, this picture was taken by Rihanna’s dad

Its Rihanna standing next to our Barbados Minister of Culture Steve Blackette, notice our national flag she is holding

Here is Rihanna leaving the airport waving to faithful fans who gathered to welcome her

It’s Evan Rogers and Ingrid with his Bajan wife Mrs Jackie Jordan Rogers

Stay tuned I have a special surprise for Boyce Voice fans I am trying to get organised for later so keep logging on and building up my page-loads…

Its RIHANNA MANIA here in Barbados!

I heard radio station CBC 98.1 FM promoting today as “Rihanna Day”! I thought it was not only a cool idea but appropriate as well as she is flying into Barbados today to attend the special tribute show that is being put on in her honor.

It is note worthy that “Rihanna Day” is also being sponsored by A & B Sounds which is an example of a local entertainment corporate entity coming to the fore in support of a fellow artiste. Way to go Norman Barrow of A & B!

Therefore, in keeping with the spirit of the Rihanna Day, Boyce Voice presents Rihanna’s performance at the 2008 Grammy awards. Here she is performing with “The Time” of the 1984 Prince movie “Purple Rain”.

I like the concept of merging a classic group like “The Time” with a current star like Rihanna, that was an interesting combination, Click and watch it again and watch for when she shouts “Barbados we got one!”

I mentioned some negative comments about Rihanna which were made on the net here are some after which I will put my Boyce Voice retort.

Net Comments: Her hair is horrible…

I totally love this song but that stupid bitch is not humble at all…

Well to u…she may be nothing but to Barbadians she is…

she f–king ruined the times performance what the f–k.

Me again, check out the beautiful Rihanna in her three Grammy outfits

Now here’s what some freaky ass dress critic said,

“Bold-y Locks and the Three Scares: Rihanna’s trio of Grammy outfits can be classified as the good (comparatively speaking, at least), the bad and the fugly. Let’s start with the helmet-headed, neon-nailed singer’s red-carpet look, a ruffled, electric blue Zac Posen creation that’s suffering from too much clutter on top, a weak force of gravity on the bottom and an excessively molting Cookie Monster underneath. Rihanna sticks with both Posen and the plumage for her onstage performance (heck, she even wears her hair in a ducktail), styling what appears to be a bale of hay dive-bombed by some irate ostriches” …. etc etc blah blah”

Boyce Voice response to All Rihanna Haters; At least Rihanna is wearing rassole clothes unlike some of the U.S stars who have a habit of parading around and making their privates public, (I will not call Britney Spears name, I wanted to post Britney’s “privates” picture but Darron wouldn’t let me).

At least Rihanna is neither in rehab nor suffering a mental breakdown like some of those freaky druggy mad ass stars you have out there. (Will not call Britney’s name).

At least Rihanna remembered all the words to her songs in her Grammy performance, remembered her dance moves and did not go on stage in her underwear. (Britney again)

I would like to tell you to kiss Rihanna’s ass but that would be granting you a privilege. What you should do is kiss Britney’s next time you see her, chances are it will be exposed. U leff Rihanna fuh we! (Get a Bajan to translate that for you yuh f—king* idiot)

* freaking idiot ok?

Watch out for special “Rihanna Day” post tomorrow…

By now you should have heard about the Celebration Show “Tribute to Rihanna” which will be staged on Thursday in Independence Square Bridgetown. Our Grammy winner Rihanna will be right here in Bridgetown Barbados yuh idiot!

It is quite possible you might not have heard. From a marketing perspective it seems to have been a little low keyed. I would expect there would probably be more promotion of the event over the next two days.

Rihanna will receive a rousing welcome at the airport by a delegation headed by Prime Minister David Thompson and members of Government. An entertainment delegation will then afterwards perform FOR Rihanna doing their unique interpretations of her songs.

Some people might feel disappointed that Rihanna is not performing, but cheese don bread, de woman has been working like Madd winning her Grammy and promoting Barbados. I think it is great that we should give her the privilege of being a distinguished guest of honor and performing FOR her.

What I think is really great about this event is that they are also honoring Jimmy Haynes who really won Barbados’s first Grammy 22 years ago. Thats really cool of them.

The person behind this event is entertainment marketing specialist Phil Philips. Kudos to him and government for putting an event like this together at short notice.

Performing will be Shontelle, Edwin, Livvi Franc, Kidsite, Arturo Tappin, RPB, Lil Rick, Philip 7, Ayana John, Richard Stoute, Mr Dale and others. The Master of ceremonies will be our KB Kleen and Hurricane.

I received a call from a certain manager who was quite prolific and colorful in his discourse aka cursing. He was quite annoyed his artiste was not in the Rihanna show line up and wanted a rassole answer. Boyce therefore put the rassole question to coordinator Mr. Phil Philips who said “it was no disrespect to artistes but at the short notice the event was put together it was just not possible to have everyone on. Therefore they tried to put on at least one person to represent every genre of music”. Philips said “maybe next time you will be chosen”.

I hope that this satisfies said manager ’cause he can get the place hot with cursing when he is ready. He gets the place like “flames” or like he is one of the “crazy people”. Hows that for puddin and souse hints.

Any ways I invite you to go out and support our own Rihanna, and while Phil says he has all genres he does not have poetry represented, we should have our Khadji present one of his poems to Rihanna, I will send this to Phil.

I would like to think that my cursing post “Support Rihanna you Ungrateful Dogs!” would have had something to do with motivating this event to be put together, I have noticed that I am not part of the welcoming committee, so I might have to curse again.

Boyce is leaving the computer….

I came across this picture of the Rihanna, winner of the Barbados Music Awards Female Entertainer of the year,I was quite taken then…

I had to get up from the computer and walk a bit to calm myself. This woman look so good then, now here’s a woman who looks like food!
I am sure the men out there would be quite taken by this picture and some women too

Just look at Rihanna lying in that bed with those legs and lips, looking all sensuous… wouldn’t you like to get under her umbrella…? ………I have just been advised by Darron that this is not that kind of a blog…so I must stop

I was a bit miffed that Rihanna did not make it to the Barbados Music Awards this year, I considered going into one of the bathrooms and hanging myself but I had people to take home, plus I would have missed Krosfyah’s performance.
The below Madd track I want to dedicate to the beautiful Rihanna, its like Eric Lewis is singing about her in this song.
Girl you look so sweet
you gimmie cold bumps from my head to my feet

Click and take a listen to the song “FOOD” and see what I mean

Just take note there’s a difference between eating and “biting” ….

I previously quoted from it but today Boyce Voice invites you to take a read of the full Nation Newspaper editorial which speaks to the involvement of entertainment in the results of the this month’s general elections.

Entertainers participating in politics and endorsing candidates is not unique to Barbados, it has been an accepted norm for years internationally. Recently Oprah endorsed U.S candidate Obama and it is widely rumored that Frank Sinatra had a hand in the election of John F Kennedy to the Presidency of the United States back in the 60’s.

Speaking of the United States politics I just want to get this comment in, what do you feel is motivating Hilary Clinton to run for President of the United states? Do you think she has seen the perks that the position can bring as experienced by her husband?

If I was Bill I would be careful though, if Hilary were to become President and had to spend late nights at the Oral office I would never really be sure… oops sorry my bad, I meant OVAL office…
