It’s already 4 weeks ago that Vincy Mas was feteing the road 2008. Time to sum up the results for you.
Most played on the streets of Kingstown and new Roadmarch Winner 2008 was Icon’s ‘A Pain (2 Knee)’. After placing fourth in the Soca Monarch Competition, on the road Icon’s song outplayed “Head Bad (On De Spot)” by new Soca Monarch Gamal ‘Skinny Fabulous’ Doyle, who was regulated to second place, with last year’s Road March Winner Shertz ‘Problem Child’ James place third with his song “For Life”.
Hope everyone was able to chip down the the road to the groovy winner tune without pain in the knees…
At Soca Monarch Competition a record attendance saw Gamal ‘Skinny Fabulous’ Doyle dethroning six times Monarch Winner Delroy ‘Fireman’ Hooper. Performing ‘Head Bad’ Skinny Fabulous relegated last year’s champion Hooper who performed ‘Who e hut e hut’ into second position, with 2007 Road March King Shertz ‘Problem Child James placing third with’ For Life’.
See Skinny Fabulous perform at Soca Monarch Finals. At first in a funny Gladiator-Style, but watch out for the real ‘Head Bad Costume’ (with no head at all) in the second half:
In Calypso Monarch a Queen reigned out all the male participants. Princess Monique won the title performing ‘Who’s Laughing Now’ and ‘Beyond Party Lines’. She is also the current Trinidad & Tobago Calypso Queen and has won the St. Vincent Calypso Monarch three times in a row, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
