On the night when 12 princes and princesses made their way into the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall Mansion, Glamity was the top subject of songs done by fellow female contestants.

In last week's show, Glamity attacked several contestants with her song. However, the contestants did not take it lying down.

At the show held on Saturday at D' Entrance, Constant Spring Road, St Andrew, Sassy Silva was the first to respond and she did so with intense lyrics that put the crowd in a frenzy.

Every word in her song seemed to be directed at Glamity who had said she was old. She later stated that she was born in 1983 and refuted Glamity's claims that she was 45 years old.

Charlene Skylar also moved the audience with a performance not short on lyrics, also about Glamity. She certainly excited those in attendance when she said, "call mi name one more time mek mi put yuh off a di stage like weh Poppy do to Ryno".

Glamity was certainly prepared for her competitors and came dressed as a revivalist in a white and red gown with Bible in hand. While her lyrics didn't have as much punch as her rivals, Scatta said, "di whole a dem come out and deh pon yuh name, and yuh plan fi dem and mi like dat."

Makarie came later and was also in a word-throwing mood. In addition to Glamity, she also attacked the other female contestants.

Saturday's staging of the event was not just about rivalries. It was also packed with performances from contestants who survived Castle Red and Castle Blue to make it into the Magnum Mansion. The eliminated contestants were Suspense, Real Steel, Check and Halonie.

Earlier in the night, there were average performances from Konfydence and Turbo J. Shack, on the other hand, impressed judge Miss Kitty who said, "You are a complete package. You sound good and you are a very good contestant."

Jah Bouks and Minori helped to cool down the stage, following heated lyrics from some of the women. Both singers were lauded for their clarity, melody and key.

Buck 1 was not impressive and was unable to move the audience, despite calling his competitors' names. Meanwhile, Jonnah did a song about mothers and was well received.

A very lyrical Payne was the last contestant to perform and found favour with the audience and judges.

"A dem artistes ya mi like talk bout. Him sound like him a voice 45 from him a 10. Him ready fi di road," guest judge Foota Hype said.
