Last Tuesday the teenAGE Observer Expression Tour made a stop at the Aaubuthnott Gallimore High School. In keeping with the light drizzling, the students “rained” with talent.

The show kick-started with music courtesy of DJ Cash Price and the show’s emcee was Kesi Asher from the Jamaica Observer.

Kimoy Lamont was first to perform. As she took centre stage, the crowd of students chanted her. She did a rendition of John Legend’s All Of Me. A vocal mishap caused her to become nervous, almost on the verge of tears. The students clapped to encourage her on. Composing herself, she tried again, singing Sam Smith’s Only One. The crowd applauded furiously for her effort.

Following Lamont’s performance was Temanesh Wisdom. She also did a rendition of Foreigners I Want To Know What Love Is. She was well received by her peers, who were singing along throughout her performance. She was applauded for her effort.

Shortly after Lamont’s performance, Kimberley Constable won herself a giveaway courtesy of Flow.

After musical selections by DJ Cash Price, Javaughn Robb entered the quadroon to perform. He started by singing Romain Virgo’s Soul Provider. He wasn’t afraid to interact with female members of the audience. The crowd loved his performance and applauded his effort.

Romaria Pennant performed We’ll Make it Through and Celine Dion’s I Surrender. It was seemingly a long performance, but a melodious one. The crowd was patient and received her well.

Jeremay Brady was up next. He performed the popular Jackson 5 song I Want You Back. The crowd clapped along while he performed.

Marvil Brown failed to woo his peers with his deejay performance and they urged him off. He did an original piece on the Happy Hour Riddim.

Jennifer Hudson’s Where You At? was performed by Nathania Pennant. It was a fair performance and she was applauded for her effort.

Kimberley Constable did a sign language performance to Tamela King’s Take Me To The King. She got a great response from the crowd.

The only dance group of the day, Kristophan Brown and Company dancing to Vybz Kartel’s 6 Missed Calls. Despite musical setbacks they gave it their best and the crowd applauded them.

Venecia Case and Company did a skit about school. This group made very good use of the stage. They had the audience laughing out loud. They ended their skit with a dub poem entitled Peace.

Last performer of the day Javain Williams did an original piece called School Days. This young man didn’t hesitate to show his sing-jaying skills. His performance was short and spicy. The crowd urged him back on stage where he gave us a freestyle about money, that sent the crowd in a frenzy.

After Javain, DJ Cash Price took over with musical selections, while the judges deliberated the winners.
