For a few weeks THE STAR has been running a poll to find out who is the Ultimate Dancehall Performer.
Jamaica has spoken and apparently the fans couldn't decide who is the top dancehall performer as there was a tie between current acts, Beenie Man and Elephant Man with 90 points each for the top spot.
Following behind them are Charlie Chaplin, Anthony B, Bounty Killer, Baby Cham, Lady Saw, Buju Banton, T.O.K. and Shaggy.
Top Ten performers:
1. Elephant Man - 90 pts
1. Beenie Man - 90 pts
2. Charlie Chaplin - 88 pts
3. Anthony B - 85 pts
4. Bounty Killer - 70 pts
5. Baby Cham - 58 pts
6. Lady Saw - 57 pts
7. Buju Banton - 54 pts
8. TOK - 52 pts
9. Shaggy - 42 pts
The top ten was chosen from a list of 25, handpicked by THE WEEKEND STAR, under the criteria -
1. Ability to hold audience's attention
2. An obviously prepared set
3. Spontaneity
4. Energy.
