  1. When you the Leaders change what do you expect Mr prime Minister, Lifting the spirit of the people begins with you Mr prime Minister, you Mr Bro god as taken this nation in another level of DARKNESS and Depression, MAY our Lord and savior Jesus Christ help us.

  2. Where are the festival songs and artists of the past? Every thing now is dance hall music which has nothing to do with festival.

  3. People dont know Jamaican culture anymore. Pure slackness and crime them know. Sad that if we not careful in 10 years we wont have any trace of Jamaica left. Everybody turn American but also what is being taught in schools and in homes? Culture gone out the door

  4. So how come he likes the name” bro gad” during election campaign he gladly endorsed these music, but for festivals it doesn’t define Jamaica. Come on prime minister lame excuse.

  5. The festival songs are your concern?.Hope and patriotism? There’s no optimism or little in the country or at least in the regular Jamaicans who are the ones who use to create those festive songs.Nothing no festive or hopeful so how musicians Fi write about that?All the festival songs should be about you and cronies failure.

  6. 🤣🤣🤣 wonder if a ensure and wap wap the people them snig about and send in 🤣🤣🤣

  7. Politics play too much of a big role in the Jamaican Festival song on, because of that the best song never wins, politician need to step aside and allow the competition to go on, I remember time pass by when a artist mentioned a politician named in a Song, and he win the festival song on all the top prices so the best song never win because of the politician.

  9. Mr PM please do a review on the one hundred and twenty three songs that was sent out please Sir stand your ground dont Allow Mr Grange to make tell you what to do Sir

  10. Here who knows something about standards lmao. All sectors standards have fallen compared to when I was a child. The bank,the church, the bars,the patty shops, getting a job , wife,husband , quality goods, affordable products etc, like come on … how do we tackle that , what causes this? Am sure its not good life . All these poor standards must be a product of something, maybe they are persons in certain positions being payed who’s not doing their jobs, who neglect their responsibility and who could careless what products are being produced from this . Or maybe they are persons who read this and don’t agree so nothing is done for another decade.

  11. It’s a good opportunity to return to the original SKA and Rock Steady songs and dance 💃 for the 60th Anniversary ✅

  12. Jamaica has become a crime infested country with roads suited for dinosaurs. We need more than songs we need to get rid of corruptions, double standards and the violent music that is allowed to airplay
