why do you have to have only too auditions for the hosting job, there r others out there that would like to try out but got the dates all mixed up and i think that we should all keep our options open. if there just a slight chance that we would get a next audition time that would be wonderful as we would love to try out.

Kimone Got to go! I really can't stand Lady Renae as well, bwoy she is soooooooooo boring and corny, I wish they would get someone with a better sense of humour or much more natural at what they do.

This season Rsing star has been very ordinary. The host simply is not ready. She is the worst ever. Terminate her contract. Chill room. Boring. Pepita tries. Contestants are at the lowest level ever. Really disappointing season so far

Renae can gwane but i dont see who can come as good as Denise Hunt. Rising Star jus get flap now. And as for the chill room, a di worse mi eva see. Pepita need fi get help from Kiki, Denise or Miss Kitty. Mi not interested in the show again because of them. Mi know for re nuff viewers stop watch it. Boring to the fullest!!!!!!!!! Change the host and the girl in the chill room.

This year's show is not the best but the show isn't that bad my favourite contestant is Camaley even though Anthony is giving her a hard time. and Pepita is very good i could not digest kimone

As time goes by for this year I think the talents are improving, Renaee is good, the host in the chill room needs to go as well as Kimone, Digicel I know you are trying to impove the show each year however those two are not cutting it. I must mentioned I am a follower of the show since 2004, sometimes it is good sometimes downright dre4adful, however I look forward to hit on Sunday nights, do not know what I am going to do with myself on Sunday night after the next two weeks. Keep up the good work Digicel
