Any live video stream for the patrons in foreign lands?

This years’ lineup is perhaps the most exciting in the last few years.

Thanks! Based on the promo video I was expecting a decent transmission. However, the stream is not working … numerous complaints about data base errors.

CNC3 was good for 10 seconds then endless buffering.  I did a refresh then got 10 more seconds … . Refresh page again ….    .   The video quality was decent.  But I had to give up. In the end I saw about 30 seconds of the show for 25 minutes in front of the PC.

It appears that it only works if you are in Trinidad and Tobago.

Folks, my reception of  CNC3 has improved tremendously in the last two hours.  The stream is now continuous for about 10 minutes, then the buffering.  However after a refresh/reset it is good for another 15 minutes. So am good.

I am in California.

International Groovy Soca Monarch 2013 Results:
1st: Machel Montano "The Fog"
2nd: Iwer George "Bubble"
3rd: Blaxx "Leh Go"
4th: Ravi B "Prescription"

International Power Soca Monarch 2013 Results:
1st: Two way TIE between SuperBlue "Fantastic Friday" & Machel Montano "Float"
3rd: Benjai "Engoma"
4th: Destra Garcia "Carry On"

I am still waiting to get the full results including points attained at the 2013 International Soca Monarch competition for ALL the contestants and not just the top 4 in both the Groovy & Power Soca segments!

Would like to see how all the contestants officially did relative to each other.
Would also like to see a breakdown of how well each contestant did in the text voting.

I believe the T&T public is entitled to this information with points etc for all contestants because $8 million in T&T public taxpayers’ money has been given by the government to Mr Monroe towards the prizes so there is a need for the results to be as transparent as possible.

If anyone has or can get this info then please post it here to this thread asap. Many thanks!

This fella sound like he singing a groovy soca.
I doh know how he could be any kinda performer though, he not shouting and he ent tell the crowd "get ready to jump" or "wave yuh flag" or even "1 2 3 4"

My point is, that if you going to try and showcase music - it should sound clear and you don't need all the  fireworks etc. BTW them trucks they using in Brazil are HUGE.

That tie in the power sounds fishy to me, just last Friday afternoon I was listening to red 96.7fm and the guys in the studio predicted a tie and it was so funny to see in tie for real. Bitter your post makes sense, maybe it's so for both performers to come back next year.

So wait.


Allyuh expect fairness and transparency in Soca Monarch?


Wha kinda "coincidence" had the artistes perform in the order that they did?
Allyuh feel Munroe eh know wha he doing? Where the points standing? Why they doh give a breakdown immediately after each performance so they could be compared like for like?
