The new Calypso Monarch beat out ten other competitors to win his first ever Calypso Monarch title. Earlier, Herb Black won the Groovy Soca Monarch title with his popular piece – Suzette and he used that song in tandem with “What You Bringing” to capture the more coveted title. Herb Black had indicated that while he was happy to win the groovy soca crown, he would be more gratified with the Calypso Title. The perennial finalist in the competition, Herb Black came close many times but had never won the big prize, until
Saturday night. His songs – “What you Bringing” and “Suzette” were fan favourites from start to finish. Among the ten finalists he beat, were seven former Calypso Monarchs. Defending Calypso monarch – Menelle had to settle for third place.
The second place finisher was Morgie – another strong competitor who returned to the arena this year after a break.
The fourth place went to six-time Calypso Monarch – the Mighty Pep.HTS Channel 4 St.Lucia
