Some thoughts and insights into the T-Pain cancellation...

So without me writing it, I guess most of you would know that the circus is no longer headed to GT, but for those of you who are still a bit in the dark, to make a long story very short, HJTV announced that the show was canceled because of threats to kidnap and kill T-Pain.

Now come on Guyanese people, we are often said to be very hospitable people, is this any way to treat our intending guests? Bad bad people, come on bozos, this is not the way to treat the ringleader of the circus.

Now, kidding aside, as some are already speculating, it has to be sabotage on HJTV, but who, remains a mystery though. I can only imagine the financial losses that this promotion company is going to incur because of this cancellation. Why do we as Guyanese continue to want to make the news for all the wrong reasons? Gone are the days when people are just killed, now persons are being threatened to be killed even before they reach Guyana...oh Lord have mercy on us.

The show is still on though, HJTV has managed to include Beenie Man, Biggie Irie, Peter Ram, Sherwyn Winchester and Maxi Priests as the replacements for T-Pain. Personally speaking, I think this line up is much more appealing to the Guyanese people at this time of year. And to some people, T-Pain not coming would be great (the reason for him not coming isn't though). There was very little hype surrounding the original concert, not much interest was generated, ticket sales might have been low which prompted the promoters to unleash a barrage of promotions to give away tickets. So, at the end of the day what's the old maxim? Oh yes, All's well that ends well.

This piece is just speculation on my part however, and I'll share it with everyone. About several weeks ago, I was told that a secret concert with Beenie Man was being planned for Mash Day at GCC. Of course I dismissed it as nonsense because it was already well known that T-Pain was scheduled to be performing there instead. With this new announcement though from the HJTV, I'm suddenly very very curious about this occurence considering that the artiste that had the 'secretly planned concert' is now the headlining replacement...hmmmmm, I wonder.

Ponder on that good folks, and we'll try to do some digging over here.
