Terrific Thursday is upon us; there is great expectation for a wonderful show because of the excellent talent pool the finalists were chosen from. The singers and the songs they will sing (to be updated) are listed below for your perusal. The show is scheduled to take place at the Queen's Park Savannah and should start at the scheduled time of 7:30 P.M.
Duane O'Connor (Reigning Calypso Monarch) is very confident that his two songs will be good enough to fend off former Monarchs Karene Asche, Kurt Allen and Hollis Liverpool (Chalkdust who is currently tied with the Mighty Sparrow for most Monarch wins - 8). However, there are other young aspiring talented singers who would relish the idea of stealing one on Terrific Thursday. The women in this competition are very dangerous and could sweep the first three places if the men stumble. This is going to be a wonderful night of Calypso.
This show could be the start of something special for the Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Organization (TUCO). This is the second time they would be hosting the show on a night other than Dimanche Gras. If this is done right the show can grow and become something spectacular for future carnivals. Let's hope with the very special talent pool we have here that the show turns out to be an excellent one. May the best Calypsonian (male or female) rise and take what the crown they cherish (the one million dollars first prize is not bad at all!).
First Prize $1M
