[@joelin2451]

Is not just the performance, but the lyrical genius of this song. The man paid homage to everyone and everything that is the culture of Trinbago Carnival.

Facts!!!!

[@zoraidagonzalez8798]

He's not just a singer he's an experience...respect on his name ❤

[@MoniqueAllen-w8o]

Facts!! He mentioned my uncle Raga!❤

[@amazon1606]

Amazing performance. I absolutely disagree with those saying he should stop competing to give others a chance. We accept too much mediocrity in T&T. This should inspire others to do better and better.

[@TracyFHackshaw]

Exactly … would they have told this to Sparrow, Kitch, Shadow & Duke? 🤔

[@deokieram8516]

I agree with you totally

[@Jessica-fw4lm]

❤💯

[@kwesberg]

Facts!!

[@izzy9189]

I agree, the man perform , no one else was on that level , and in calypso there really is no age limit in competing , guys like chalkdust and them old like road and was still competing and winning year after year . If you want something in life , work hard and achieve it , don't depend on the failures or downfall of others to achieve it.

[@lily___its3663]

Congratulations Machel!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I loved the performance and even so the transition into soca a lil bit then back to calypso plus the older and younger kids you had with you delivering your amazing performance. Terri, young Prince and Uncle Super Blue💙💙💙💙❤❤🤍🤍 i... love... it!!!! Only you to go above and beyond eh

[@ann-marieyoung2195]

My my my …He is an entertainer look at the dancers down to them was epic…. Choreography was excellent, all entertainers must take a page from the king , don’t rebuke him for taking part … try to come up to his level… once , one does that … and make him drop to 2nd place in any competition…. Only then he can say otherwise … and bow out gracefully… Machel king of all kings keep up the good work and show the younger ones how it is done …. Well done king Machel👑👑👑🇹🇹

[@GordonHolder]

This is good stuff, made me emotional. Long live Soca and he daddy Calypso.

Congrats Machel, well done, don't stop

[@KingsleyJamesimv]

I know he probably got all the points for originality and creativity 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

[@Alabanza.Musicversity]

This song is almost a thesis on the evolution of Soca with the story told alongside your own evolution within the art form. What a fantastic rendition lyrically and musically brought to life on stage. Definitely one for the school children to learn to become a classic. Love how you took the ‘ole time’ Kaiso vibe into this mixing in the nuances of what the youth are listening to now and what needs to be done to bring our culture back to the fore. Full circle Machel and this was the perfect song to make this epic transition. On behalf of the future generation and those of us who grew up with you, music educators like myself, THANK YOU!

[@ingridsmith9245]

Chilllllll throughout 💯💯💯💯

[@evertzinho]

Initially had my doubts about Machel singing Calypso but those doubts have been squashed. Love how he engaged the legends Rio, Cro Cro, Superblue while still invoking the spirit of Kitchener, Lord Shorty. Furthermore,he had the rapt attention of the young people on stage and in the audience. What a scintillating performance. Bravo!! Well deserved, champion Calypsonian Dr. Machel Montano!!!
