Inez Welcome, Finalist, KTV the Remix II
Inez Welcome
“I continued singing at my school and now I am at Delille Academy finishing my singing. During my spare time I usually just hang out with my friends, write poems, sing a lot. (Singing)”
Guillermo Rodriguez
Guillermo Rodriguez, Finalist, KTV the Remix Season II
“I realized that sometimes you just have to go ahead and do something, don’t over think about it. The song that I composed is basically meant for me to break out of my shell.”
Victoria August, Finalist, KTV the Remix Season II
Victoria August
“I used to sing in church all the time. I still try to incorporate it once in a while, but the music passion came from home. My parents will always have on music in the house; we will always be listening to music and the way I grew up, we grew up loving different genres of music.”
Rachel Westby
Rachel Westby, Finalist, KTV the Remix Season II
“Belize should vote for me beucase I work hard, I am talented and because I can be a great role model for the younger children who want to grow up to be singers as well. Originally I wanted to sing at weddings and in restaurants, when you are eating and you have a piano di play and yo di hear lovely music.”
Jael August, Finalist, KTV the Remix Season II
Jael August
“Before a performance, I’m always…I’m not really calm; everybody gets nervous and I usually have this tendency that I get nervous after when I perform. I don’t know why, but I work a real back way. But on stage I’m a different person. And I think that when you are in that zone and you really love what you are doing and you connect with that song. And once you love your song, I think everything jsut flows in you and you enjoy yourself of stage.”
Viewers are of the strong belief that this time around the competition has seen persons with bigger voices taking the stage.

“I think that the contestants are really stepping up their game. I mean last week was awesome, especially with the original song items. I mean Belize has talent.”
Duane Moody
“What do you like the most about the show?”
Resident #3
“Just the music and the singing because most of the voices are outstanding, just to know that they are coming out of Belize.”
Resident #1
“Although he doesn’t sing the songs that a lot of people song. A lot of people don’t like to praise God; I’m not a Christian so to speak, but I’m a God-fearing person. And when he hit the stage last week with his own original song that did it for me.”
Resident #5
“The past shows, talent mi deh deh. But the way how the shows di go now, dah like much more talent. People di hold dehn card, people di perform and rock the stage. I mean yo, come on soon it wah be professionals di go ina KTV yo see me.”
