Cya argue with those three choices at all. All Stars is my all time favourite band but i thought Phase ll was the better last night. Silver stars also deserved to be up there as well but Renegades killed it last night too. The overall winner was pan because the standard of music was just so high.
Once again Tobago rules in the medium category. |

Thanks Digga! I just listened to all three bands again and although i loved the two other performances and All Stars is my favourite band I would have still given it to Phase ll.
Maybe its because i'm more familiar with the song...maybe its because of the pace of the song....maybe its because the song was written for the recently departed icon that is Pat Bishop....but there are parts of that arrangement that reaches deeper into me than the others. Last night I said it and I still maintain that Phase ll was just glorious in their performance. |

Congrats to Trinidad All Stars, this was more of a heady than a bouncey arrangement, well executed with those intricate scale runs, multi-scale runs and repetitive runs, notes sounded clearer than from other bands.
I was disappointed that this band, Siparia Deltones, placed last. I think I should consider myself somewhat of a fan of Carlton Alexander's music. His arrangements kinda like Bradley with a little splash of Ray Holman. I like how he brings out and highlights those middle pans strumming and chords, which imo is a true essence of steelband especially when playing calypso and soca music. Another master piece they did last year, Trini This is another band Alexander arranged for that won mediaum category. |

I was disappointed this band didn't make the finals this year, this was one of the bands that impressed me this year, Liam Teague brilliant piece of work
After this panorama, after some fresh phrasing or using old phrasings in a fresh way I think pan might do more for soca music in the long run than the other way around...it will do more for soca than "island pop" can ever do at this stage.

All Stars to me run thru the whole song...it was very clean....very together....but it was over too much....that run after run after run pon top run.....didn't raise my pores at all....i dont think they deserved that win....on the other hand....they hadda be playin politics with this performance...because how deltones angel harps and even harmonites make it and despers eh make it with this is beyond me.......this coulda take panorama .......

what impresses me about All Stars is not the runs that the tenors make...which are fine...but the runs that the seconds and the guitar pans make. Playing guitar pan is not just laying back and strumming in this band. You have to move your hands just as much as the tenors. The conversations between the pans which each type having its own complexity is what makes All Stars my favourite band.
But again...i would have given it to Phase ll. Their rendition was less bouncy...slower....more solemn...and given the occassion and the subject of the tune itself, the arrangement was just perfect by bradly. When the arrangement gets to "glory halleluja", by that time i'm feeling the music reaching much deeper. I found the performance emotional for me. |
