Tell the local artistes to stop having soca sound like parlour dub then people go pay money to see dem perform.
Swappi is now known as d local Vybez Cartel...he trying hard to imitate the man so much is a shame.
Soca is such a jokey thing now men who can't sing, pronounce words, have any kinda intellect, no wit, pun, humour nuttin to them....all kinda jokey dj who cyar even read the news properly jumping on a riddim and are now self proclaimed Soca Artiste.
The greatest and only thing we have to a class act who could take Soca to international stardom is machel Montano...and even Machel tunes turning more techno/fusion/parlour dubish with Jakan slang thrown een.
touches know the talk, we talk about this a long time ago, tt soca is a imitation of yard and the artists.
where are the singers in T&T? why when singers who better than these artists try to break through they get cut? i know a few and they went on to other genres and other things.
tt is a crab in barrel entertainment business, where the artists with the least talent get the most support.
and machel just adding to the fire because he aint saying much, atall. so long he out and can't break thru, because he copying as well.
no vision or talent exists in soca right now, all of them are shaming the great calypsonians and our culture bad.
when they find their identity then maybe men will go and see them perform. maybe when they start to sing also and acually come up with some good melodies and learn to market and promote themselves internationally.
carnival is only once a year and they have plenty time to create music that is general for everything to understand and appreciate, thats if the artists could actually hold a melody.
