That's how it goes in all the top mas bands that wish to keep their masqueraders happy and coming back!
Hmmm, Ive played mas probably over forty times in bands from all over North America and the Caribbean and never once have I been asked what I wanted to hear and have never seen a poll taken.

I can only conclude it must be probably a small select group of mas band insiders that are making the requests for a specific tune.

Do study he an da shit talk lol. Big bands have zero fear that they eh go make next year because they arrogant like that. And like you rythmwize, I never heard of any poll being done either so bess believe the DJ has ultimate control. Band leaders will say what make sense to say when the camera on. When camera off dem eh ha dat to study caw dey feel secure dat dey band will selloff again nex year. So as long as de DJ eh playin excessive amounts ah tata nobody eh sweatin dem.

I AGREE...as much as I hate it. I'm just disgusted all around by the roadmarch race...there are at least 3 other tunes released this yr that are much better fuh d road than the current contenders. It's more a popularity race ...overshadowed by the artists themselves rather than the "road-worthiness" of the actual song...steups

You may have a point there!

I was liking Farmer Nappy's "Pressure" for the road but that great tune got quickly left behind in the dust by Machel, Fay-Ann & Iwer!

Notice those 3 artists are much more popular than Farmer especially for producing big power tunes!

That’s partly Kerwin's fault because he pulled out from the Power Soca Monarch with "Make Room" when he could have been pushing that tune as a RM contender!
Kerwin needs to be a bit more ambitious like Machel and try to win everything when he has the material to do so!
