Macka Diamond was the pick of the female deejays on Beenie Sizzle 08. She was dressed in a sexy lavender outfit complimented by knee-high lavender chaps, and a pair screw-me-hard red high heels.
Macka_Diamond_msg.jpgShe got a few laughs for her new song Robbery which chronicles her felonious run through the bank accounts and assets of a long list of male deejays. She worked hard for another forward in her stage show tune, a cute take-off of an 80s hit, Jamaican Woman ah Sugar and Salt where the punchline Clarendon man give yu money and tek it back got a huge roar from the females in the crowd. The ovation was so loud, Macka pulled up the song and gave her signature phrase, Dont disturb me. She deejayed another piece and earned a forward for a line to the effect that with St. Elizabeth man, if you ramp wid dem catty, dem draw dem lass.
After that, she bussed the place with Bun Him, and when she got to the chorus, it appeared that all the females in the 15,000 strong audience were singing along with her. She closed her set by dancing to her own song, Hula Hoop while dancer Latiesha deejayed.

Stacious1.jpgStacious showed that she is maturing into a honest-to-God star with songs such as Hotta Gal Walk, Nookie Nookie and Eenie Meenie Minie Mo. One man shouted Stacious, yu a chap hard! while the females seemed amazed by her clarity and aggressive delivery. But for all her aggression, she remained super-sexy dressed in all-in-one outfit that hugged her assets like a glove, and even showed a split in that most delicate of areas. Her outfit created a mini-sensation among the photographers in the press area. Stacious closed her set with her top ten hit Falling Down.

Pamputtae gave an explosive set that shows that she is a female to watch during the next few months. When she hit the stage singing Pat Yu Catty, the venue erupted. And she was a hurricane of intensity and overblown sexuality onstage and the crowd loved every second of it. Deejay Nina Sparkles got a forward for dancing with emcee Sampleman who looked like he could hardly manage the full-figured deejay. At one point, she had brought a chair onstage but Sample Man, who was perhaps aware of how Sparkles had broken a chair while jumping into the lap of a male bouncer the night before at St .Mary Mi Come From, was scared and justifiably so. It made for a nice bit of comedic banter as he contemplated just what Sparkles had planned for him.

Who knew that the diminutive Sophia Brown was such a dynamo on stage? She was a whirling dervish of energy onstage during her set interacting with the audience and wishing them a great Independence day. She hit the stage singing her top ten hit, Love You Pure, and had the audience rocking as she belted out her rafter-swinging vocals. She then did a song called Fearless with a preamble about Jamaica just having two classes, the rich and the poor. She closed her set with a new song called Jerome, a sexed-up dancehall song that suggests a womans frustrated threat to commit infidelity if her man does not come home on time.

Alibra did well but came on stage singing a bad fake-Rihanna break-up jam, Take a Bow, but her voice is not suited to replicate Rihannas soulless icepick sharp vocal delivery. Alibra closed her set with her current chart-burner Clearly.

Junie Platinum and Lady G also got great responses from the crowd during their performances.
