2009 Road March possibilitiesHi everyone, now I know I'll get a lot of 'ole talk' for what I'm about to say and that's cool after all we are a land of Democracy and frankly I'm entitled to my opinion.
Destra Garcia's 'Bacchanal' should win the Road March, there I said it!! Don't get it twisted Fay Ann's song 'Meet Super Blue' is catchy and uptempo but filled with vengeance and spewing bitterness whilst "Bacchanal' epitomizes the true meaning/feeling/spirit of Carnival AND it's catchy and uptempo.
I honestly believe persons are empathetic to Fay-Ann regarding the pregnancy factor and that's ok as long as you're being fair too. (I must also make mention that she spurned peoples' genuine concern for her whilst performing pregnant-disrespectful! There's a difference between criticising and concern.)
But I know I can say all this till the cows come home unless the 'big wigs' in the music industry, the masqueraders et all agree with me, and it may not make a difference, but at the end of the day there will still be "Bacchanal" and maybe just maybe we'll "Meet Super Blue"!
