After looking and listening to the Soca Monarch semi finals on TV recently, I have to voice my opinion on this shameful scenario.
Almost all of the “songs” (if we can be so bold as to refer to them as this) lacked not only lyrical substance but musical structure as well.
It seems to me that it is mostly about shouting, jumping, waving with the dancers doing their thing, as they say. In brief, it pains me to think that there were other artistes who took part in the preliminary round and did not “qualify” because they were worse than those who made it to this level.
You mean to tell me they had worse than that? Lord help us!
