Congratulations to new Party Monarch Li'l Rick, who defeated 19 other soca artistes to capture the title for a fourth time yesterday.
In second place was Mr. Dale with Soca Junkie, and Khiomal placed third with Bashment Bacchanal. In fourth place was Blood with She Push He, while Tarah was in fifth place with I Ain't Looking.
Li'l Rick had entered the competition with his song Can't Wait in heavy rotation on the radio stations, and since he's known for being a 'big night' performer, I knew he would pull out all the stops to take home the trophy. I suspect he'll take the Road March and Peoples' Monarch titles as well.
My boy Mr. Dale shouldn't feel too badly though, 'cause only two and a half points separated him from Li'l Rick. Poor Barry Chandler. To move from being the reigning Party Monarch to not even placing. Cuhdear....
