I vote YES for Beyonce!

Are we really going to see Beyonce in the Carnival? The news is very exciting! I think it will give the Carnival a special flavor this year.

I’m a big fan of Beyonce and certainly would not miss her-I bet-fantastic show! I’m also sure most people agree with me, well, except for the whiny Express which posted on its front page a petition not to invite Beyonce!

Are they kidding me!? Why do some people like to politicize everything, including entertainment? The Express went as far as condemning the plan to bring Beyonce as a waste of taxpayer money and a distraction from the Carnival’s traditional entertainment. Some of those journalists out there drive me crazy!

All countries, even poor ones try to give their national festivals by inviting international celebrities…aren’t we allowed to have fun like the rest of the world does?

I completely disagree with those who don’t want Beyonce here. I think her presence would be an awesome addition…not only to our entertainment but also to TT’s attractiveness to tourists.

I recall Dubai’s international tennis tournament, which started small. Dubai persisted in bringing international tennis stars and the tournament became a world event that brings millions of dollars through tourism and broadcast rights.

People always use Dubai as an example of success but when we try like Dubai people start to object! It doesn’t make any sense!

I vote YES for Beyonce!
