True.

That is WACK. I mean, this year I really like Tizzy for the most part, but Claudette has way too much singing talent not to be pushed just as much as Tizzy.

Something like that. Actually that probably is what it is. Her verses don't have any breaks in them to make the song sound really hype. I mean, y'all don't have to like Oungku all that much BUT one thing about Oungku, when he chants, he can make most of his recycled riddims hype again by using those short catchy phrases. Claudette sings more like Onyan up an uptempo song, too much singing, not enough chanting.
