[Tropicana]

Reactions? I am not going to say a word.

'Memba mi tell yu, Jamaican singer Samantha J ah do big tings ... di pretty gyal just sign a record deal fi ah whole heap ah cheddar. Jah! Rastafari!!Now, the translation: Samantha recently signed with Columbia Records -- and TMZ obtained a copy of the deal ... which will make the "Tight Skirt" star a very rich 17-year-old ... if she sticks with the label long enough.
The pay structure is set up so that Samantha's first album gets her an advance of at least $325,000 ... and as high as $700,000, if needed.
According to the contract -- if Samantha sticks with Columbia through her 6th album -- she'll collect up to a $1.1 million advance!
She's also getting fat royalties ... at least 16% of sales.
That's the kinda scratch that'll get Samantha ... one 'nuff yaad down ah Jamrock ... right near di beach, boyee!

Parents how would you feel if it was your daughter in the video?

Samantha Gonsalves was born in Kingston, Jamaica. She resides in Saint Ann Parish and attends the Heinz Simonitsch School in Saint James Parish.She was discovered by the Si Mi Yah Agency, while attending a model & talent casting in Ocho Rios.

I wonder if one of her parents is Swiss. Heinz Simonitsch is Swiss and used to be the director at Half Moon. The school is located on the grounds of Half Moon.

The Heinz Simonitsch School, located in a corner of the grounds of the Half Moon Hotel, a 400 acre property in Montego Bay, was founded in the year 2000. It is a two-storey building, with twelve classrooms, two libraries, a science lab, art studio, a computer room and a large auditorium. It is located beside the Mobay Hope Medical Centre, close to the hotel’s Nature Reserve.The school was started in 1997 by Mrs. Elisabeth Simonitsch, wife of the then Managing Director of Half Moon, Mr. Heinz Simonitsch, in two rooms over the shops in the Half Moon Shopping Village, with eight students. The students population rapidly grew and in 1998 the school expanded to occupy a further four rooms. By 1999 it became apparent that a new, larger school was required and the present school was built in 2000 with funds provided by Half Moon. It is now completely independent of Half Moon financially, but is supported by the Heinz Simonitsch Education Foundation.

The school is a Jamaican school and follows the Ministry of Education Curriculum but adds its own programmes for enrichment. 95% of the students are Jamaican, the remainder being children of expatriates who work mainly in the hotel industry. There is quite a large turn-over of these students but they integrate well and give our school, an extra dimension.

Gonsalves have been in Jamaica of centuries.... Portuguese Conversos... I met a Gonsalves who was selling drugs....

I thought of those childten at maggoty high last year who were suspended for doing the same moves on the school property and Britney Spears when i watched the images..thought she had the curves of a ruler and she wasnt very pretty... too boney... so i couldnt see the domino players being even acknowledging her!

thought the bikes and skate boards were rather good!
