Who will be crowned King of Kings in the Caribbean Calypso Competition for 2012 this is scheduled to take place in St.Kitts tonight? I am sure you have a favorite but do you know the singers participating and more importantly have you ever heard them sing before?
Well it won't be long again before we know the winner. Don't be surprised if your "King of Kings" turns out to be a "Queen"! This competition is not well know but hopefully will be an annual event and island hop as the rivalry grows between the islands. Isn't it a shame that we don't support our own but will rush to pay to see an American artiste perform?

There was also some disturbing news (unofficial) that the show was not a success financially and that no one got paid (prize monies) - what a shame if that is correct!
Karen Asche from Trinidad and Tobago Won the title of Caribbean King of Kings and as I mentioned in my earlier post we could have a Queen instead of a King - that was not a prophesy because Karen is a superb singer! In the words of our very own Sprangalang, Karen is now the Caribbean Qking! Karen shocked the male dominated Calypso World when she won the title of Calypso Monarch for the 2011 Carnival festival hosted in Trinidad at the Queen's Park Savannah. Now she has cemented her place as a major threat for years to come. It will be interesting to see what happens in Trinidad for 2012 and do you think that Kurt Allen is taking notes?
