I went to the awards show and it was good ( u haters) Sean Paul deserve his awards. When it is not Cat, it's Shaggy when it ain't dem is Sean. I am not a Yardie but I cannot stand it to hear u all hating on your own who has done so much for the industry and promoting JA in a good light HELLO. This artist is focus and on his game. He takes his career seriously he nah ah hussel it like de others. Him dey working its his job. Maybe if HATERS including so called artist did likewise dey would have a dam good catalogue to live on for the future. You see Sean Paul he ain't loud nor has he spent his $$$$$$$$$$$$ on jewellery and other material things him just pure and simple ah dem have $$$$$$$ when u see dem ah splurge dey nah have nuttin. BIG UP SEAN PAUL U AH WALK GOOD.
Daville performance sucked. He cannot perform he reminds me so much of Leon and we the peoples band. As for his image on his album, it defeats what he is singing about - get it together Daville you need a stylist and get rid of all that fake ass jewellery.
Beres yes for male vocalist, richie stephens yes but richie spice hell nooooooooooooo. \His album is lame and he is harddddddddddddddd on the eyes.

Gail you are so right being reading your stuff and I was there at the awards I can testify and Murphy Dread tell dem because they ain't understand I do not know what it is going to take for people to understand that Sean has taken dancehall music to higher heights.
Big respect to Sean Paul. Gail remember Sean said at the awards that all dancehall artists need to stick together. Ok which dancehall artist who have been on top before Sean has ever made that comment NONE! See ain't too big to say dat and mean it. When the others were on top they did not even bat an eye to their fellow artist(s).

I must agree. From Sean Paul's three albums, he has produced MANY awesome songs in my opinion.
Temperature, however, is NOT one of them.
