Nobody is disputing d fact he's a force to be reckon with and above others. But u have achieved so much home and internationally let others get their fame also. This goes for gypsy as well as in chutney.

Two frequencies are needed, because de youts vibrate differently to adults. Adults can't hear the megahertz children here past 18-20 years old.

[@JuniorBenjamin-x6w]

I knew they would make him win to say he won soca and calypso

[@reenaheeralal]

Gteat clean kyso... Thats the way❤

i need to see that whiteboard he used as props

[@debbiemarquis3231]

pampadam padam padam....allyuh good yes...

[@archie607]

Where have all our calypsoians gone. Sorry but we could do better than that.

[@privategirl2]

As much as I love M. The performance started off great but got very distracting and overkill, The Lyons family felt like he was filling time.😅 I was wondering if he was going to bring back an Soca Artist from the dead. In some cases, less is more.😊

[@mg39]

Desperation sad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣To funny

[@mg39]

No sham to the game we knew that it was going to be him to win close a chapter in his life why why why there’s better artists with better songs sham on you 🇹🇹 he don’t deserve it y’all so easy to predict

[@cherylsmall892]

Feel people foolish.

[@dcharles131]

Showmanship but where is the originality ?

[@kennethnwebb]

them just wanted seats filled for the Dimanche Gras

[@cherylsmall892]

That was sorely lacking but we know that was the outcome long long time. People not foolish. TUCO is such a waste.

[@AkilahNnamdi]

Im sorry there were other calypsonians who were wayyy more deserving. The song is garbage. He won simply because he was a crowd favorite. Smh...

[@DaTHorn]

There's nothing particularly remarkable about this song; its melody is quite typical and has been sung countless times before. The lyrics are very mediocre; even a 12-year-old could write stronger ones. I had hoped for something better. However, it might fare well in a kindergarten calypso competition. How did it even make it to the finals again?

[@adrianeheadley8188]

I love machel montano but honestly. He looking bad. Look at Destra, Patrice and Ricky and them come on nah so machel couldn't just be a guess. He is way richer than these artists. He need to give the younger ones a chance. I'm disappointed in him. He's GREEDY. GYPSY ALSO.

[@privategirl2]

Unfortunately Machel is extremely competitive. He has to win everything. Truthfully, his performance felt like his stage shows. Very over the top.

[@cherylsmall892]

So true and what he sang.

[@paulinedaniel8668]

The young one needs to step up and work as hard or even harder than Machel..why should he step aside ..🎉

[@privategirl2]

@@cherylsmall892 if you listen to the lyrics, he's telling his own story and his natural progression from Calypso to Soca. I got the impression from the song, that he was answering some of his Critics.

[@cherylsmall892]

@@privategirl2 I listened but what he beat the others on. His song was basic, his voice can’t compare with Helon, Karene or even Kurt and he was not as articulate as so many others. Also some of the dancers’ rhythm were off and it was just overload and distracting. Even you talk about the confusion but it is what it is. Carnival is controversy.
