Sorry eh Alison Hinds for female entertainer of the decade. Hands down.

Shontelle has a new video out for her song "Battlecry"





Click HERE to see the vid

Although Rihanna up and down every magazine and website that covers entertainment, the other bajan Diva Shontelle is doing big tings eh. She's opening for Beyonce the baddest girl in da biz right now. Here is a video of her performing "Roll" at O2 Stadium London May25th2009




Now this is a song that she wrote. It's crazy to me how she can write the song and sing the song but just cannot match Alison Hinds when it comes to being the song. Check her out in action:



And no...it's not cause Machel dere, eh. Look at how she work de stage with this chune!!!! Cyan test Alison!

Shontelle is featured on the Confessions of A Shopaholic Soundtrack, in a duet with Akon called "Stuck With Each Other." The song was written by Diane Warren wow. She is soo good some the songs she has penned include: “Un-Break My Heart,” “How Do I Live,” “I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing.” Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins produced the track.

Shontelle's debut single “T-Shirt” was one of late 2008’s major break-outs staying in the Top 20 of the U.S. national mainstream pop radio charts for months in late 2008, and digital sales of the single now approach 600,000. The track has been streamed over 32 million times on her MySpace page.

Check out the song "Stuck With Each Other" by clicking HERE!

One thing eh, Shontelle has some people straight hustling for her as far as her PR. She is just everywhere, from Billboard, to blogs, and even MySpace is advertising her new album Shontelligence. Anyhow, I saw this video of her on Imeem. So she is talking to her friends about some girl that looked a hot mess trying to wine as she was performing her song "Roll" made ever so popular by the undisputed queen of soca Alison Hinds. So her friends are like show us..... here go Shontelle bussin a wine. Sorry????? you come from the land of pelt waist and that is what you doin? Well check out the video for yuhself. (It's the third in the series)



I'm sure Alison could give her a lesson or two.
