ON SUNDAY NIGHT, the second preliminary of this year’s Richard Stoute Teen Talent contest belonged to Tahirah Gibbons.
The nine-year-old wowed the crowd as she swept aside eight other contestants – some twice her age – to gain 684 points and seal a place in the semi-finals of the 40-year-old competition.
Gibbons was a little shy initially but when she got going – singing From This Moment and You’re My Flashlight – she set the Divi Southwinds Resort alight with her dynamism.
Second place went to Danielle St Hill with 628 points while Javin Johnson, 598 points, was third. (SDB Media)
