Sweet Grapes

The fox jumped over and over in several attempt to snatch a bunch of grapes. These were just a tad away from where his jumping ability would take him. So he walked away. The fox told an onlooker.... "the grapes seem to be green and are most likely sour. I didn't want them anyway." .....sour grapes.

For our friends called Shake and Bake, such is not the case. Kudos to their strength in character to rise to the occasion and return to Duets to do a performance for the ages. They are now called the People's Champions. I truly believe that. Their untimely exit from the competition raised the ramp of several theories as to why they did not get at least the third highest score. The boogie of "Belize City" controlling it all came to the forefront.

This past Sunday they performed truly for the People in Dangriga to a rousing crowd. They have done the same for umpteenth high schools. They won because of duets. Amit... his spirit was born to entertain. He was born to showboat... in a good and fantastic way.

Elvis and Amit...Amit and Elvis...aka Shake and Bake have ruffled the spirits of Orange Walk and have heated up the stage and imagination at their every performance.

Kudos......

What next?

Duets:S&B

The popular Channel5 Belize show Duets is moving on to a finale that should have Orange Walkeños at the tip of their SMART fingers. We now have our very own Amit and Elvis making moves that the King of Pop would be willing to sue. Their Michael Jackson moves seemed to have been rubbed directly from the original.

The entire show will be replayed tonight. I will see it again. If u can..watch it again. I was awed the first time around. I am sure the awe will be duplicated.

I know Amit and he has been dancing ever since. I can even recognize some of his earlier presentations as remakes of past presentations. That was truly nostalgic.

But the last presentation, he artistically grew. I am sure now never to go back. The onus on him and Elvis now is to not disappoint. The audience and onlookers are expecting an giant leap up in the ante. Anything less might be disastrous.

But not meaning to alarm... I wish to inspire them to make heed with their talent. And Orange Walk... Amit and Elvis will do us proud. We can make them good examples on how perseverance and desire can lead you to good things....to glory.

One comment: There is a gargantuan room to move to. The show can truly positively explode onto Belizeans if voting was via ANY cellphone. Grow up guys..... I am sure there is some way to remove the politics from this show. We Belizeans deserve it!

See you next when we should be celebrating somehow.
