Well folks Wacky Tuesday came and the results are now in the record books. Take a look at the final results below to see if your favorite personality lived up to expectations (ah talking about Deso). Our prayers and blessings are recorded here on behalf of Heshimu and Ebony. I watched the show but was not excited or 'felt it' like previous years. There was no anticipation for anything (except if Deso would have really performed) but something was missing from the show this year. The judging was better than expected this year but I don't believe that Kent deserved 9th. place, that should have been reserved for Mr. Desmond! One annoying feature of the show was the commentary provided between the individual performances. Nothing was wrong with the content of the commentary but simply put, we wanted to see/hear the MC's on stage: Sprangalang and Lady JS!
I believe that my inability to listen to the station during the day may have something to do with the lack of enthusiasm that I had but maybe it was also because Damion did not perform. Kenny's theatrics were good and the way he used the magazines to sing or better yet to read his lyrics was very cleaver. I though Amber won the competition but apparently the CEO "did enough" to pull it off. One last thing, did you see Tigress perform? What is heavens were those National Calypso judges thinking? This will remain a sour point/topic for discussion for some time to come for the 2K10 Carnival season. Next year Damion will be back!
