THIS YEAR’S Junior Calypso Monarch Competition is shaping up to be another battle royal.
The singers in both the 8-12 and 13-18 categories came out blazing at the first tent held at The Lester Vaughan School on Saturday night.

Interestingly, it was those same two songs which earned the only encores of the night, and left up to members of the audience, one memorable song would have gone on indefinitely.
Ah-Dee-Lah, who placed second to Sammy G last year, is looking to exit the Junior Monarch Calypso Competition with a bang – win, lose or draw.
