The show may be called Stardom King of the Tent, but Tarina Simon showed the guys that “the woman is boss”..Lol, as she walked away with the Stardom King (Queen) of the Tent title. The competition was not a clean sweep though, as other top performers like the Karessah, Observer, Scrunter, and new comer to Stardom Tent, Sye, came out swinging.

This is Tarina’s second win for the season, as she was also recently named Woman Calypso Queen for 2009. Her eyes are now firmly fixed on the coveted, esteemed title of Calypso Monarch of 2009. In recent memory I cannot remember a female Calypso Monarch here in Dominica, so the anticipation and suspense is palpable. Will the former Digicel Rising Star winner sweep the entire calypso season, or do the men have what it takes to ensure that the title remains Calypso “king” Monarch!

The other top place winners included Hunter (3rd runner up), Karessah (2nd runner up) and Observer (1st runner up).

The excitement of the Calypso 2009 season will climax at the highly anticipated Calypso Finals Show on Saturday February 21st at the Pottersville Savannah. I’ll be there, camcorder in hand, will you?

The question on everyone’s mind this Carnival season is will calypso survive without the talents of Daddy Chess, Dice and Pat Aaron. By now we have all heard that Daddy Chess will be representing Dominica in Trinidad during our Carnival season. There is also much talk about Dice and Pat Aaron not participating in this year’s calypso competition.

Will calypso survive without the talents of two of our top Calypsonians? Is this the beginning of the end of the high caliber of song writing and performance we have gotten used to? If you are like me, you were already in high anticipation of hearing the new songs. With at $20,000 grand price going to the winner, the expectations for this year’s competition was definitely high.

Well maybe this is not all bad news. The opportunity may now be ripe for up and coming composers and performers to come out of the shadows and display their talents. This might also be a good time to provide incentives to these talented people to encourage them to step out of the shadow and to make their mark.
