Oral Tracey lets loose

AS promised, the inaugural Oral Tracey Let Loose Live Commentary was different and unpredictable as billed by promoters.

Known for his nightly off-the-cuff take on sports issues on TVJ’s Sports Commentary, Tracey unleashed his alter ego at the Theatre Place in New Kingston on Sunday.

Unlike his television slot, ‘Let Loose’ was not limited to sports. It showcased singers Richie Stephens, Jodian Pantry and Tru Soul, comedian Lemon and the magician Sean.

Tracey opened his set by taking jabs at sprinter Asafa Powell. But Powell’s colleague, superstar sprinter Usain Bolt, did not escape his barbs.

“Usain Bolt can’t drive me go nuh weh,” he said to laughter from the large audience.

He tackled topical and controversial issues such as skin bleaching, ‘bunin’ (infidelity) and the lack of progress in Jamaica over the past 50 years.

Tracey’s first guest, Sean the Magician, exhibited his art by using various methods and was amazingly hilarious.

Pantry, a runner-up in the 2001 Gospel Song Competition and Digicel Rising Stars finalist, entertained with I’ll Always Love You and her upcoming single, If I Die Young.

The artiste christened Patrick Brown lived up to his moniker Tru Soul. He was impressive, crooning A Woman’s Love and Everything I Own.

Appearing a few days before his December 5 birthday, Richie Stephens gave a mesmerising performance. His strongest delivery came with Sam Cooke’s 1963 standard A Change Is Gonna Come. He ended his set with a medley of popular Revival songs including Down by the Riverside, Press Along and What A Mighty God Is He.
