So the carnival is over
...and i tell you from up here in the cold, it looks like it was all good. Vow not to miss another one. As usual memorable moments every where but for me it was all about the fantastic music this year. Classic Tune:

Brass at its best from Ed Watdson & The Brass Circle in this Kitchener classic!

Love it!

Any thoughts about the Carnival this year? Stand out moments? General observation?

So true what you said about the great brass arrangement in this song. You know we just have to accept that our sensibilities are probably different from others.

To some a good brass arrangement is one hook in the chorus but to me a good brass arrangement should be heard in nooks and crannies throughout the song.

Tune definitely caught me by surprise. I just thought that the lyrics were asking people to do something so stupid that most would dismiss it....and ergo the song...but that was not the case. People ended up being into the song.....probably because the alternative was PYF....which really was Machel's weakest song of the season.

One highlight for me was this performance. Play this performance all the way to the end and listen to the emotion in her voice at the end when her father joins her on stage. Look at her face. The message here is such a powerful one eh. This is how deep and effective calypso can be. I was totally moved by this performance.

For me a clear winner from the soca monarch competition with the yuth erphaan (sp). The dude sang his song honestly....and he sang his heart out.
Really enjoyed this.

Yeah yeah yeah ...i know she has her detractors....and her voice was shot on this performance....probably because of all the work she was putting in at the fetes. But i feel as though this was an honest performance....she left it all out there on the stage. She put down wuk.....and I appreciate that. Despite her voice I very much liked this performance.

P.S. They've got to kill the prominance of the recorded vocals in these competitions.
