X-Blog: Tessanne Chin: The Powerful Young Musical Icon

Tessanne singing with her fans. Her red hair is beauitFUL!

Tessanne Chin was THE guest headliner for the Jordu Live show on the 28th of March this year। The event opened with 4 new artists as well as a fashion show in the mix. The young acts showed promise and much talent. However I was eager for Tessanne to take the mic. When she did so it was amazing as usual. Her presence, voice and caring persona came across making the event truly spectacular. Her words of encouragement - stating her mother's remark about us in Jamaica facing economic recession everyday and that the important thing is that we have food to eat and we are healthy. Is it any wonder she has such a thoughtful and nurturing spirit?

She definitely delivered SPECTACULA! entertainment.

She made singing high notes seem easy.

Tessane took our breath away when she invited a shy young lady to sing with her and coached her into a full fledged singer right in front of our eyes. Showing her fan that she should not underestimate herself or her talents. She did a Bob Marley tribute "Johnny Was" as only she could. It spoke to the emotions and conscience of her audience while showing how much diversity and talent she possess.

Girls look good in pictures and better in real life.

The lady with the voice and the ever beautiful Mrs. Jordi herself.

The flash from other cameras made this picture light up but it's the persons in it that give it that spark.

I can't find words to eXpress how IMPRESSED I am with her (and any1 who know me know that's no easy feat). I can't help but recall when a cameraman told young lady that he wanted to take a picture of Tess with another young lady and Tessanne paused from autograph session and and hugged both girls and posed for the picture much to the dismay of the photographer. A case of her eXpression, her belief of equality no matter who you are or what you look like. A matter to which she spoke on earlier during her performance. Another quality I will forever remember is her selflessness she did autographs for everyone (3 for me). with no complaint and even after stating that her final picture is with one person she quickly posed for pictures with a few other persons. Tessanne is a true legend and someone that more young entertainers in Jamaica should emulate.

After being hugged so I'm elated,Ms Chin :)

I told Tessane how much I respect her song writing skills. She returned the compliment by hugging me. I don't think she realised that I value the hug more than she valued my compliment but that's not important right? I mean we both came out winners.
