Soca Monarch Finalists Trinidad 2012 | It's Fantastic Friday!

Soca Monarch Finalists for the big dance tonight! This show is the big one everyone is waiting for and hence the reason today is called Fantastic Friday! The show is scheduled to take place at the Hasley Crawford Stadium starting around 8:30 pm. This is Trinidad Carnival but the show takes in competitors from the entire Caribbean region.Those whom were judged good enough will compete tonight to dethrone last year's Power Soca Monarch Machel Montano and the current reigning Groovy Soca Monarch champion Kes Dieffenthaller. 

Those whom are interested can see the show in HD on Carnival TV for US $9.99. Here is the link to Carnival TV: Buy a seat to the soca Monarch 2012 on Carnival TV.

The real competition, this year, is in the Groovy Soca competition. It should be an interesting show and hopefully they will sing and not shout and try to 'pump up the audience' by bringing elements of the Power Soca show into the sweet spot of the Groovy Soca show. In the Groovy category the person who executes well  and sings his song in the traditional Groovy (feel good) style should take the title. 

I am not really interested in the Power Soca show since the future of Soca lies in the hands of producers of Groovy (feel good) music. The Power Soca offering has deteriorated to shouting and waving rags and flags that has taken away from what could have been a wonderful show. Everyone thinks the competition is between Machel and Iwer in this category but if Swappi can execute and sing well on stage he can win that title. My personal choice is Shurwayne Winchester.
