That was mad! That was mad! That was too mad and if you were not there to see that, or either part of it I’m telling you “you missed that!!!” Like Scady said “I in dat! I in dat! I not missing dat!” Okay, let’s get into business. A lot people complained about the venue and made comments like “How is Point Seraphin uh? If was Marchand or Samaan’s Park again!” Well guys, those who were there, they enjoyed it to the fullest! They could not be bothered about the venue. In the beginning, it was lacking flavour but later on in the evening onwards, the madness started! The host was perfect. You guys already know Izi Hall is the man for the job and on Sunday he was great!

An individual from the crowd (girl) who volunteered to attempt to answer the questions the host was asking, in order to receive a free Blackberry Handset (compliments Digicel), was ecstatic after she answered correctly and was the winner of the Blackberry. I was so jealous. Seriously I’m telling you I was standing there with my blackberry pearl (rolling eyes) like seriously? Do they even make those again? I was ready to cry a puddle of tears. The questions were so easy! Host: “Who is the bigger better network?” Girl: “Digicel!” Host: “Who gives the best deals….” Girl: “Digicel!” and so fourth.

Anyway let us talk about the costumes, they were smoking hot! I would really like to congratulate the bands who made a great effort and say hats off to them including: Mas Action, La Musaique, Royalties Extreme, Exotic and all the other bands. I must say Mas Action did a great job this year! These costumes are hot! There’s a section called “Red Cross” and it is really appealing. The models rocked the costumes and the colours were enchanting and stunning!

Now people the band everybody was talking about;” (Royalties Extreme!) have you seen the section called money”? It’s on fire! That isn’t just my opinion, ask Tom and Harry and they will tell you the same thing, don’t think because its Scady’s band I’m “bigging it up”. I’m giving jack his jacket and I must commend Scady and his team because the costumes are really amazing and genuinely defines carnival. The costumes are really good. I just had to give you all the details because these bands really stood out. The rest of the bands did a great job too; their display of designs left the crowd in awe.

Side attractions included steel pan and really, I must admit that I’m not that much of a fan when it comes to steel pan but Digicel Pan Time just might change that. Their performance was “electrifying!” They did a great job and it paid off because they must have been rehearsing for hours upon hours. If you heard the hot soca riddim coming down on the steel pan! Now let me tell you boys and girls, men and women…. That night, all the artists came out and gave good performances including Teddyson, Pringles and H.P. who did a crowd pleasing performance. H.P. really had the crowd following instructions to his hot new soca single “Dance Doggy”

Many individuals wanted to see performances from other hot soca artistes like Ricky T who has catchy lines in one of his new songs “Ricky Ticky Ticky Ticky Ticky…” Crocodile with the famous “Ready Mix, Already Fix” (Clap your hands gyal..Mmm mmmm mmm mmm) Scady “Put me out” and Ambi “Matay You and Mongster with the hit single “Glo Koko”.
