Doors will open at 10p sharp...performances will begin at midnight...and we going till morning come.

I know its going to be pressure backstage and all that, but just imagine...I mean all these artists have big chunes individually, but can you imagine seeing KIMBERLY & LIL RICK performing "My Hips" together live? How about MR VYBE & MICHELLE SYLVESTER doing one of the most slept-on tracks of the year "Always On My Mind"? Geez an ages...just thinking about it is giving me goose bumps...SATURDAY NOVEMBER 4th is going to be a special night...actually, the entire weekend is going to be amazing...did you hear what I was doing on the FRIDAY night as well?

So dem all performin to tracks?

thats a fackin fete...

they need to bring this lineup to ny

oh I already deh..ticket bought long time

dais a good question!!!
I ent see no band featured??
but i think i'd still enjoy the show
thats a nice line up....

yep...that's what happened @ soca or die 3 and most of soca or die 4

nice lineup...but against tracks? Not that appealing (but it sure beats Miami where we don't get anybody really until Carnival). Thank god I going away for Christmas.

got my tickets last friday....can't waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait!!!

Why would I want to go to a fete to hear people sining off of tracks please ....
I may as well stay home and play de blasted Cd's

lol i see somebody's never been to the kool haus for a soca fete.......bout stay home

u do that...more gyal for me

when you play your cd's at home the artists does come out of the stereo and dance for you live?
Some artists don't need a band to make their performance worth while. I think that if you give a wicked performance without a band and only cd backing then your good. but thats just my opinion.

Agreed, I've never been in favor of artists singing over tracks as well. No disrespect to the artists or anything it's just that when they have a live band behind them the energy is on a totally different level, a band is alot more versatile then an instrumental track (providing one is available, sometimes they does actually sing over the orginal track), and finally, it's a LIVE performance, therefore I just feel the music should be performed LIVE as well.

As far as this fete in question is concerned though, the lineup is hot!

BTW...mark Yearwood off the list. Krosfyah in Suriname that day.

Might as well perform to tracks anyway....at least right away you know what's happening.Nothing much live in some of these bands "playing" over recorded material, then leaving the stage and the drum machine accidentally coming on. And dont get me started about lipsyncmania.
