Beenie Thrilled at Mountain Dew Stunt Festival
The Mountain Dew Stunt Festival held at the Jamalco Sports Club in Clarendon has come and gone, but for the thousands they will remember the performance the King of the Dancehall delivered.
He came on stage to loud shouts from his many fans and from thereon he was the pied piper and they were his loyal followers.
Reeling through his vast catalogue of hits he showed why after so many years he is still embrace by the dancehall populace.
Beenie went through his hot hits in the hey days to his current ones. When he was through he left a totally satiated crowd behind.
During the day it was all about fun, rides contests and excitement as Ity & Fancy Cat, Sammy Question and Magician had patrons entering one fun competition after another with them winning prizes courtesy of the sponsors.
The Pro Impact Stunt Team out of the States also had the crowd “oohing and “aahing” at some of the gravity-defying stunts they did.
Later on in the evening it was time for the stage show with Apachie Chief and Sarge cracking up the crowd with their “almshouse” on stage.
Mystery Man managed to deliver, but Xinyu was a colossal flop, not even the Dance Xpression girls could rescue her.
Nesbeth scored with Boardhouse and Guns Out.
D’Angel feared a little better but was not an overwhelming hit with the crowd
But there was no question about the closing act Beenie Man…he was King
