Hail to the Queen. God Bless.
Congratulations to Shan who was THE winner from day one! I’m sure your family is proud of you.
Whoever wrote this press release needs lessons in P.R. writing, and should learn to spell “ATELIER”!
Congrats and best wishes Shan – continue to stay focused and positive – based on what I witnessed you are well on your way. I am a big fan of individuals who are able to respond appropriately when asked a question and you did exceptional well in that category and beyond. God bless you in all that you aspire to do.
The only good prize is the scholarship! The cash is in the wrong currency!
She has overcome much in Jesus name, congratulations and much success in all future endeavours.
So proud of you Shan> From your days at VFCSS your love for Music was evidence. Mrs Lucien you did a good job. From the beginning of the show I knew you would excell. The judges did a good job in their judging in all categories and giving whats due to each individual. I wish you the best girl. Make good use of the Scholarship and let the sky be the limit for you. You gave such a true definition of you as a young child but you have indeed come a long way and I know with Gods help you will get further. BOSL you were great too. The ladies were great but indeed some out did the others. Judges pat yourselves for doing a wonderful job. Peace and love
