Michael Jackson's musical legacy continued to shine bright and main act Beenie Man thrilled his fans to perfection as the Grace Tropical Rhythms Port Royal Seafood Festival, held at the Port Royal football field, in east Kingston, ended in fine style on Monday.

The lively patrons couldn't have asked for much more, as they were treated to an evening filled with great entertainment. Any worry of rain, which affected last year's festival, was fast gone, as the weather remained perfect, allowing only the entertainers to shower the venue with their music.

Unlimited Dancers, who won the 2009 Dancin' Dynamites competition, brought back memories of Michael Jackson's glorious days of deft footwork and certainly set the tone for others to match.

Welcomed by a deafening scream, Beenie Man put on a show that would last for a long time in the memory bank of his fans, who went into a frenzy the minute he graced the stage.

The Grammy Award-winning dancehall giant began his segment with a string of old songs varying from Zim Zimmer to Ole Dawg, before introducing his more recent works of Back It Up and Gimme Gimme. To say that he had the crowd at his command would be an understatement, as many patrons found it difficult to keep their composure when he released his King of the Dancehall hit, which by far got the loudest response.

Had it not been for Beenie Man, the quartet LUST would have easily walked away as the best performers on the night.

"It's amazing how these guys can come together with their voices to make melody sounds so good," commented MC Pretty Boy Floyd.

He was absolutely right. For a wonderful 20-minute spell of beautiful singing, the members, Lukie D, Thriller U, Tony Curtis and Singing Melody, entertained with serene confidence making way for their major hit, You Said You Love Me.

The diverse Lady Saw kept within the limits of the family event and encouraged women to be strong in their relationships.

"If yuh man loves yuh, he needs to treat yuh like a queen. Nuh mek im call yuh nuh gyal nuh dutty dis or nutten. Mek im affi respec' yuh all the time," she said.

Fast-rising reggae act I-Octane made a surprise visit and quickly 'blazed a fire' with Mama and Vampire. Poor and Boasy got a strong approval from the crowd when he asked, "Unnuh waa di street boy fi sing?" but he never made a strong impact.

Adena Myrie and gospel artistes Kerron Ennis and Marvin Fishley were aurally pleasing as they stretched their vocal range.

The day's other activities weren't as splendid as the performances, but many would still remember the Grace Jack Mackerel celebrity cook-off, which included Brown Sugar, Reverend Al Miller, television host Pepita, Poor and Boasy, and opposition tourism minister, Aloun Assamba, who edged out all competitors.

A fashion segment, put on by Q&E Costumes, showcased pirate wear of yesteryear.

All proceeds from the Port Royal Seafood Festival will go towards the Port Royal Basic School.
