With all the fuss of who tief what

Who have the rules for Soca Monarch, Groovy Monarch and Roadmarch?

I would like to get that down on paper there must be something somewhere.

Do the rules truly change each year?

Just curious...ok going back to macco

Judges allocated 80 per cent of the points while text messages from bmobile customers contributed to the remaining 20 per cent of the points used to decide the winner of the competition.

Contacted on the voting by text messages, Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) manager Media Relations and Corporation Communications Graeme Suite said Montano received more text messages than George, Alvarez and Lyons-Alvarez combined. Montano received close to 17,000 of the 50,000 text messages received for the Power Soca Monarch finals while George got just over 7,500 text messages.
This is all you need to know.. And this is why Iwer nor anyone else of merit will never win once the competition is close..

lets use the 50k in text as an example..

MM get 17k
Iwer get 7.5k

you do realize that antiguans, bajans and vincy voted for there Representative

and both lime (bmobile in TnT, because they spent 20billion in marketting, so they need to recover their market spend hence why the name hasnt changed) and digicel is in every isle of the caribbean..

hence the traffic.. i made money circulate.. the texts dem nah free

in this case though, the regional sale helps the group of companies image, i.e you can be with the action because of them, which increase brand loyality..

but on the ground..

imagine the amount of $10TT pre paid top up they made that night

I hope you realize that this is T&T only Soca Monarch competition, they can call it whatever they want, but at the end of the day, it is a local competiton with a few invited guests. This is not an international competition, so LIME makes a ton of money by hitching on to this farce and they should be sued, since there is no way the other islands are going to win and therefore are spending monies on a losing endeavor.

hence why i said it was so funny, and imagine if Cuba, jamaica or DR had soca contestants in it..



the bajan news paper is now sayin that the automatic bly to the respective country monarch will now be relegated to semis.. I wonder if it is because of lower island vote turn out that make it why dem doin this??
