video of her online dancing to
“Panda.”
The online HipHipB said Jennaske
is “known for her lyrical
freestyles and comical antics
on social media.
“Jennaske has amassed a
loyal fanbase in the thousands,”
it said. “She has developed several
viral skits on Instagram,
Triller and YouTube, and has
worked with the likes of 50
Cent, Fetty Wap, Mr. Vegas,
Desiigner and Remy Ma, as an
artist.
“Jennaske is unapologetically
Cantata It’s time to see ‘Last Christmas’
ings and narration encompassing
the birth of Jesus Christ.
The mass choir sang “Christ
is Born, Nowell”; “My Soul
Rejoices,” with Registered
Nurse Cynthia Grant, who was
born in Aruba to Vincentian
parents, as soloist; “Waiting;”
“The Coming of the Lord;” and
“Hallelujah Chorus.”
Before and after the lighting
of the candles, Trinidadian
Patricia Senhouse, a member
of the Mass Choir, sang “O,
Holy Night.”
The Junior Choir sang “Little
Drummer Boy.”
The Combined Praise Team,
which also comprised members
of the Men’s Chorale, electrified
the congregation with
“Away in a Manger”, “Go Tell It
on a Mountain” and “The Virgin
Mary Had a Baby Boy.”
But it was the church’s
liturgical dancers who set the
stage, near the beginning of
the cantata, dancing to “Lamb
of God.”
They returned mid-way in
the celebration, dancing to
“Noel.”
Linda Brown, an African-
American member of the Mass
Choir, provided narration after
the reading of the scriptures
by Steve Brandon and Chidindu
Nwosu; and Lynn Malloy,
another Africa-American, who
served as liturgist, led the congregation
with the refrain after
the “Call to Worship.”
The congregation also participated
in singing “O, Come
All Ye Faithful”; “Silent Night,
Holy Night”; and “Joy to the
authentic and uncompromised
World.”
“We have come here to see
another year,” said Malloy in
her opening remarks. “God is
good, and all the time God is
good; and in everything and
all things, we will give Him
thanks and worship.”
After the lighting of the candles,
she opined: “It’s not the
Christmas tree and the gifts,
it’s the birth of Jesus Christ.”
Barbara Moody, the Belizeanborn
director of the church’s
Chancel Choir, who directed
the Mass Choir, agreed.
“I, too, feel the feeling of
Sis. Lyn (Malloy),” she said in
giving thanks to all who made
the event possible, particularly
lauding Barbadian-born Sophia
Eversley, who organized the
program.
“We sang, and we danced,
and it’s all to His glory,” Moody
added. “I want to wish you a
Happy Christmas and a Blessed
New Year.
“And, as you go around the
table (on Christmas Day), let’s
say a prayer to all loved ones,
those in the hospital, those less
fortunate,” she continued.

by fame,” HipHipB
added. “Her personality is contagious,
goofy, fun, blunt and
hard not to notice.
“She captured the attention
of her hometown with her singles
‘Imma Be The One’ and
‘Pull Up,’ which shows her versatility
and range with music,”
it continued.
Above all, HipHipB said Jennaske
credits her success to
hard work and persistence.
“She lives by her mantra, ‘be
better than your last week,’” it
said. “No doubt, she’s the next
big thing from Queens, NY.”

singer George Michael.
Fifteen of his songs shape
the soundtrack to the romantic
comedy and the sappy tale
arrived ahead of the usual avalanche
of stories annually sold
in time for Thanksgiving and
the advent when schools pause
for families to unite.
Starring Emilia Clarke as
Kate, the film focusses on a
restless young woman who
pounds the pavement of the
streets of London in search
of independence because living
with her family seems too
burdensome.
The character transforms
herself from being the former
“Game of Thrones” fantasy
actress to a year-round costumed
elf employed by a shop
owner audiences will readily
recognize from her role on television’s
“Crazy Rich Asians.”
That employer is portrayed
by Michelle Yeoh.
One day when a customer
enters the overdressed establishment,
Kate feels unusually
drawn by his presence.
Not quite the catch audiences
might imagine Henry Golding,
portraying Tom, a mysterious
visitor to the Londonbased
shop, Kate considers
him underwhelming.
There to browse not to buy,
initially his gaze unfavorably
registers with unwanted stalking
effect.
With repeated visits to her
workplace, Kate soon realizes
that his behavior mirror that
of a relentless stalker.
For longer than one would
imagine, Tom pursues his
Kate.
Eventually Kate relents and
together they connect.
The music of George
Michael binds the connection
between the fulltime elf and
a stranger adding romance to
the mix.
Fans will reminisce the hits
of the British pop singer who
died three years ago on Christmas
day.
The short of it is that Kate
and Tom become an item.
Together they savor the
city and season and become
entranced by the emotions
that accompany love.
The long must be endured
in cinemas now showing the
PG-13-rated, 103 minutes,
holiday, romantic comedy.
Directed by Paul Feig with a
screenplay by Emma Thompson
and Bryony Kimmings,
Thompson also portrays the
annoying immigrant parent
who unknowingly unnerves
her daughter Kate and the
entire family by reprising foreign
traditions related to her
European tradition.
“Last Christmas” might not
deliver comfort and joy but the
music will certainly offer retrospective
nostalgia of Michael,
the music-making duo he collaborated
to form Wham! and
the hits he gave the world.
More distinctively with the
debut of this flick, fans will
again revel with memories of
a prolific talent who left much
too soon three years ago on
Christmas Day.
If nothing else, the film
with its quirky twist will rekindle
delightful memories of the
catalogue Michael built singing
“Faith,” “Careless Whisper,”
“One More Try” and others
that yielded $80 million
sales.
More than any other during
this season the one he branded
scoring a winning hit in 1984
titled “Last Christmas.”
