Dear Writer, His Holiness is the formal style by which the Coptic Pope and the Catholic Pope are addressed not Bishop as you have mentioned in the Report.Bishop may be addressed as His Grace or His Lordship. Thank You.

May God bless you Fr.Ronson, for the courage to say "yes" to the priesthood. May God keep you safe and focused in your ministry. Congratulations!

HAVINA PARICHAYA SOGASAGITTU.

I have gone through all the comments from contestants supporters. Everyone should accept that there is no looser. All of them are winners one or the other way. We would have known better about the performance if they were given more than one song to sing..Anyway this is the part of a game and errors occur because we are human beings. As the proverb goes on"to err is human and to forgive divine".I have some suggestions which I want everyone to take positively. Conducting such competitions is not an easy job. Whenever this type of mega events are conducted it is always better to give a chance to the judges to give feedback to the contestants soon after their performance as it would help the participants to know their strengths and also to note the areas for further improvement which wasn’t taken care in this event. Another important point is after the judges finished giving scores it should be left to them to sit together and decide the final result and put in an envelop and handover to the MC for further announcements. Taking the result backside the stage and then giving final result should be avoided as it was done by the organizers for this event. that is how one can avoid all kind of misunderstandings. Another thing is that no one got a clear idea about the criteria used for judging because there were lot of errors and pronunciation mistakes in the lyrics of many contestants and also mixture of English was noticeable. Hope these points will be kept in mind in the future.

Dear Guests wellwishers

Thank you for your comments feedback. We have taken a note of all your comments

As a mangalorean, i went to saw this event. But i felt there was something wrong in the decission of judges. Sheldon was not at all desereved for the title. Mclean was better than Sheldon. I (along with many people) also surprised why Monisha didnt get as she sung very well. I feel either judges donot know how to judge or there may be golmal in the calculation. I also purchased a CD and gone through it. Sheldon was out of beats.....

Congratulations! all the final 8 participants of Pear voice of Mangalore.

Dear all, All the 8 contestants are the winners! none are the loosers.


We are very proud to say that, Our son McLean Fernandes bagged Runner up in this contest.

We would like to thank Pearls of Manglore team to conduct this Awesome Singing Contest in a Royal way.

Thanks all the judges, especially Mr.Henry and Mr.Maxim all the way come from our native place, and make us Jovial with their Melodious Kokila voices.

We felt very crestfallen about the judges decision. As a parents we dont want to comment more, all the daijee viewers and audience already given the judgement. We just want one justification that, 20 marks for the presentation and 10 marks for the vocal, where McLean’s presentation was too good (smiling feerless stunning)

Anyway McLean best of luck my son.

Congratulations all the final 8 participants of Pear voice of Mangalore.
McLean Fernandes has to be winner in Sub junior but Political influence and vasta selected different winner. Nice Event, but no crowd, pearl voice singing competition was good.Fifth part of the program wasting time because usually members of POM only singing and screaming. Where are others members of POM like last year’s lot of members missing in group some of last year VVIP members buy the ticket and sit in crowd.

McLean you are Kemmannites Nightingale.... you were really deserve for the first prize, totally predecided decision from the judges..

Congratulations! all the participants of Pearl voice of Mangalore.

I would like to congratulate specially Master McLEAN Fernandes for his courageous, feerless stunning performance. He is really deserve for the first prize, and Master Sheldon was out of beats..

Dear Judges, You have kept 20 marks for presentation and 10 marks for vocal, when McLean was singing with the full spirit, smiling, dancing with the high pitch and where as others were just concentrating to the Mike. where are those 20 marks of presentation of McLEAN.....

Totally wrong decision and Junior category last one sang very nicely and she didnt get the prize.. very sad..

Anyway McLean eventhough you got second, as a audience view, you are the fisrt one...

Felt very nice reading the writeup and all the photos. Congratulations to nmc family for the wonderful show.

i lke kambala...

Wish you a pleasant stay at Dubai.

Congrats Allan Lewis.Last centuary our grand fathers participated in Kambala, among present generations you and Sudhir Lewis has continued the Lewis legacy, which was vaccum for half a centuary. My best wishes for you and Sudhir Lewis, many more prizes to win in the future. Every one from Mumbai Tonse community. God bless you all. Ronnie Lewis

Congrats Allan Lewis its just begining and there are many awards coming your way. Your Thonse roots are strong I suppose all Naik families they initially migrated from Botwar near Ruzar lewis house.
They are great estate owners of Thonse Honnappa Kudru all the region of Kallinpur prospered during the time of Rani Abbakka due to the coconut farms. I believe agriculture is more important and buffaloes contributed their natural endowment in the history of mankind for land tilling and ploughing. Now the times have changed so are people agriculture is abandoned by many. future will be less food available so is the fish due to juvenile fishing and over fishing.

Thank you Rajesh and Sandra.

@Rajesh Malpe, I mean to say the article was linked to the FB. Anyways I dont think kemmannu.com needs any ones recommendation. Its excellent.

Good Photos Mr.Vivek.

Congratulations Me. Allen Lewis And Team I Am Proud of You.

From : Jaon Francis Andrade

@Sandra, I can see articles from Dubai/Kuwait/India in this website- is it called local in Dubai?? I dont know I am from a poor village in Udupi/Karnataka/India:)

Mr. Allan team- CONGRATULATIONS! for being TOP. And also congratulations to the ORGANIZERS and all the PARTICIPANTS of this rural cultural sport-KAMBALA along with other sports in KEMMANNU. In future, will it be possible to organize this KAMBALA RACE WITHOUT BEATING THE BUFFALOES- Why don’t try this in Kemmannu itself?? And also our wishes to kemmannu.com for the pro post publicity of this event KAMBALA in KEMMANNU!!!

@Sandra, Bangalore/Dubai.
Thanks for the compliment but I wish to clarify the following:
a). Kemmannu.com does not belong to me nor have I said anywhere about this site going international.
b). I am no longer from Kemmannu but I find this site awesome.
c). I am not much into silly social networking sites.

Al,
Congratulations. We are proud of you.
