They say a picture is worth a thousands words, so what are the millions these pictures are saying?

Our Poll asked, Is Chris Brown good enough for Rihanna? 29 votes (36%) people said yes, 5 (6%) said no, not sure 6 votes (8%) said not sure and a massive 40 votes (50%) said they don’t give a Rat’s ass!

Well you should care dammit! the rest of the world does, I think we need to find out exactly what are Chris Brown’s intentions towards Rihanna Fenty?

Does he plan to change her last name?

Lets take a Boyce Voice look at some pictures which were taken of the couple at various places around the world.

Here is Chris and Rihanna, do they make a cute couple? I don’t know you tell me, if Rihanna were in the picture alone that could have worked for me….

What is Chris telling Rihanna here, is he showing her how his phone works? I don’t think Rihanna cares.

Or maybe Rihanna is asking about that text he just got, and he is giving an explanation

Its pretty late to have Rihanna out at a night club ,

Rihanna cannot even take a dip with out Chris butting in, he is pretty smitten or as bajans say, Bewitched!

Looks like our own Ingrid has her sights on Chris, guess Asiba will not be happy about this, If Rihanna is going to be horned at least its by a bajan…

This Jennifer girl here also looks pretty close to Chris, will do a lick mout lou thing and send this photo to Rihanna and end the happy union..

I am often in a quandary when I read the drivel which masquerades as entertainment news which pretty much equates to just old fashion “lick mout” gossip.
Am I suppose to care who Brad Pitt is going out with?
Or that Jennifer Lopez is having twins? whoopie!
or that Paris Hilton has new man?
I mean, who gives a Rats Ass?!…

Britney checking into rehab or out, so many times we have lost count

And the latest news now out, Am I suppose to care that Britney spears has lost her child visitation rights?
Or how much times she has been in rehab and how her father is now taking care of her again?
Who gives a rat’s ass…!

I would like some one to explain to me why I should care,
When I read entertainment news I like to read about the box office business generated by a movie or the behind the scenes of the making of the movie, not who the star is bonking might be bonking or is about to bonk.
If that is what you are interests you, you need to get a life!
Am I suppose to care who Rihanna is going out with?
Or that she and Chris Brown are supposed to be engaged? …
……….Wait a minute, I do care about that!

If our Rihanna is getting hitched we need to know about it so we can approve it, I mean is Chris Brown good enough for our Rihanna? (Darron will put up a poll that will allow you to vote on that soon)

But when it comes to the other celebrities, who gives a rat’s ass?!

Does Chris Brown have life guard ambitions or what?

Guyanese Timeka and our Rihanna in Jamaica

Here is a bio on Timeka Marshall hailing from Guyana, she is one on the artistes represented by Pyramid Entertainment which is managed by the irresistible Santia Bradshaw. With the coming of CSME we need to know about our regional neighbours, so read on, you are not busy ..

Who would have thought that a simple jingle for a local company would be the start of a music career that seems destined for success? Well that is exactly how young Guyanese singer Timeka Marshall got her break. In 2006
a local telecommunications company staged a competition for their new jingle. Timeka entered and won. This became the springboard for recording her first R&B Single “We Should Separate”, which was released and quickly followed by the music video. Produced by Muzikmedia and shot on location in Jamaica both the track and the video gained popularity on the Caribbean music scene and held their own in heavy rotation on radio and television stations across the region.

Yet there was much more to unearth in the way of Timeka’s talents. Timeka After performing “We Should Celebrate” on the Guyanese entertainment circuit to appreciative audiences,Timeka was keen to cultivate her songwriting talents and attended the Barbados Music seminar and Showcase in February 2007. There she blew regional and international music executives away with her obvious talent and enticing sensuality. With just one performance of the gritty dancehall track “Nothing At All”, Timeka was immediately signed to a developmental deal which would see her working with some of Jamaica’s top producers.Timeka’s commitment and hard work in the months she spent in Jamaica has paid off, with the release of two singles – “Free” and “Ice-cream Boy” (a fresh taste on a classic) produced by international reggae producer
Clive Hunt and his team of talented musicians. Her relationship with Jamaica and the treasure trove of musicians, directors and producers there continues to grow. As soon as the two singles were in heavy rotation on Guyana’s airwaves, Timeka returned to Jamaica to continue recording. This dedication is a clear indication of her intention
to take her music throughout the region and beyond and add to the growing list of Caribbean artistes who now rank among the international superstars of the entertainment industry.

Guess who was selected to be the local Host of BET Jazz while they were filming recently in Barbados? none other than our own Ingrid Holder.
Ingrid will now be seen on Black Entertainment Television’s Jazz network internationally highlighting Barbados and its artistes. We at Boyce Voice are proud of ingrid and her great acheivements and know she will continue to excell in all her endeavors.
She had best remember that it was us including you Boyce Voice readers who first bigged her up from when she went down to cover Rihanna at the Grammy’s, if she forgets us now she is goinmg international we will have to buse her.
Here are some pics she supplied us with for you to check out…

Getting ready for BET Jazz shoot; Ingrid being made up by make up specialist and image maker Lia, (Lia deserves her own write up will do one later)

The End Result; The Beautifully made up Ingrid, you could almost be fooled that she was beautifull for truth, but it is really the make up of Lia who is right beside her looking beautiful for real (Ingrid will kill me)

Here is the artifically beautiful Ingrid in “Upbeat” the store, they sponsored Ingrid’s clothing. Upbeat; For slamming threads! (I know thats an ad, but Ingrid said she was going to hang me by my neck until I was dead if I did’nt say it, women are so violent these days)

Here is Ingrid on BET Jazz film shoot, interviewing local rap artiste Billy Kincaid (I know the picture quality sucks and you cant see Bill Kincaid, will make up for it with the next picture)

Finally, here is Ingrid chilling out at Rihanna’s private VIP party hosted at “The Boatyard” nightclub Bridgetown Barbados, of course you would recognise Chris Brown along with Rihanna’s brother Rorrey.

Thats all for today folks, have something igrunt coming up this weekend, log on then!

Who gabby think he is….

I waiting to cuss he stink

Who gabby think he is…

Before you get all excited and telephone Gabby with the news that Boyce say he gun curse he, the opening you see above are lyrics from Gabby’s own calypso “Who Gabby think he is”.

Which brings me to my point, Gabby seems to think he will be Cultural Ambassador forever. Anthony “Gabby” Carter is more than my friend, he gave Madd comedians our first big break performing in Battleground calypso tent when we had just left Combermere in 1982. I have a tremendous respect for Gabby; you need to read one of my first posts “What the ass is a cultural ambassador anyways?” where I lamented that Gabby was not given enough real power and authority to go with his prestigious title.

However, the Government has changed and protocol dictates that all ambassadors and boards of directors appointed by the previous administration make their resignations available to the new government. I read in the newspaper where ambassadors from New York, United Kingdom, Africa and Timbuktu have sent in their resignation letters. But not Gabby. He is maintaining his position and waiting to see what the new Minister will do.

So all the remarks wunna drop, saying that Gabby like he “switch sides” and how he sing pun de DLP celebration motorcade, even Kidsite throw a song punch at he at the Rihanna tribute show. But Gabby is not budging.

Lets vote on it Boyce Voicians. Do you think Gabby should relinquish the post of cultural ambassador as protocol dictates or were you so happy with his tenure you would like him to continue? VOTE NOW!

Gabby, Me and Blood at Barbados Music Awards last year…. I told you we are friends

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.

Kevin “KB Kleen” Hinds.

Here are some more pictures from the Rihanna Tribute Show taken by photographer and graphic designer Alwyn Harding

“Rihanna eats her own cake even if you are Chris Brown”

I met a lady yesterday who screamed at me “Boyce Voice yuh Rihanna Freak!”If you check almost all the stories on the site right now are about Rihanna, and for good reason too.

Plus out of the 10 most popular posts I have written 7 were on Rihanna including my famous Exclusive Interview with Rihanna which is my number one most read post.
I tried to get close to Rihanna recently for another interview but apparently security had been warned and I was apprehended, that’s why I had Ingrid taking pictures.
I also tried to be included in the airport welcoming party but was denied access by event organiser Phil Philips, acting no doubt under advice from Interpol, the FBI and Police Commissioner Darwin Dottin.

Despite these legal challenges, I endeavor to continue to pursue Rihanna disregarding the “stalking” charge which was recently made against me.

I felt sorry for her being accompanied by people like Chris Brown when I know she would prefer to be with the Boyce. Enough said!

Tomorrow I will be dropping a Hot story that will not be about Rihanna but about new developments in the local cultural industry. LOG ON THEN…

Want to thank all of you for logging on and making yesterday the highest number of hits since we have been running Boyce Voice.

Boyce is leaving the computer

Wow that was quite a show last night! The Tribute to Rihanna musical celebration.
All the honour and gifts Rihanna received and deservedly so, including her being designated the distinguished title of Honorary Youth and Cultural Ambassador to Barbados by the Prime Minister.
Also she received a plot of land a jeep and was entertained by dynamic local acts.
Surprise guest last night was a special appearance by American singer Chris Brown who had the ladies screaming.
Here are some exclusive and candid photos compliments Ingrid taken last night.

Cultural Ambassador Rihanna and Chris Brown

Chris and Rihanna again

Here is Chris sitting with Rihanna’s dad</p

The local acts last night were excellent and a credit to Rihanna, Starcom radio News dept telephoned during the broadcast to say that people were calling the station and complaining on some aspects of MC KB Kleen’s presentation.
The job of Master of Ceremonies is never an easy one, “space filling” and keeping things on track can sometimes be a challenge.

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
