Im not doing a very good job this year of ignoring everything on these 2 days…the parade of the bands kicked off yesterday morning with J’ouvert – thank goodness i was asleep at the time so i had no idea what was going on…
Yesterday during the day however, i sneaked many peeks at the road – technology is a hellluva ting…there were so many live streams of so many different events this year – was listening to Red as they broadcast from the road, looked at pictures and just essentially tortured myself all thru the day.
Soca Monarch went off without a hitch. I must say that i was half expecting the feed to go down and interrupt during the course of the show and i was pleasantly surprised to see that there were no problems whatsoever and the quality of the feed was quite good. i know i will get alot of flack for this, but I’m sorry…but i really do not agree that Iwer “geh tief”. he might have mash up the place, but Machel’s performance was much better. The last song from Iwer that i remember really liking was Bum Bum Time (how much years ago was that!)…Machel is the only man i know who does release a album every year on a regular. so while Iwer might be d BOSS, Machel is the KING of soca!
Kes is Groovy Soca Monarch…very much well deserved!
Today, there is live streaming of today;s mas which is always better because people come out in full costume…
