The Beaumont Park Soca Monarch Semi-finals held last night at Carnival Village, saw a fusion of performances by 27 singers. They were broken up into two categories , Groovy and Power, with 16 finalists making their way to the final show set for December 23rd.
In the Groovy category, the eight finalists named were: Cinnamon, Stich In Time, Ali Dee, Nickhail, Shakki Starfire, Queen Anastasia, X-Man and King Konris.
Meanwhile Stitch In Time, Ali Dee and Shakki Starfire will compete once again in the Power segment along with, Fantastic Tunda, Mr. World, Contenda, Mighty Takeover and Mighty Honesty. They will go up against King Konris for his crown. They will be joined by one other lucky performer, who according to the Soca Monarch committee, would join them based on votes from a text promotion to be launched soon, bringing the Power segment final count to 10 performers.
The fans will have the opportunity to text the name of their favorite Power Semifinalist who was not selected by the panel of five judges, to advance to the Soca Monarch Finals.
The show, despite inclement weather last night, managed a great turnout and some excellent performances. In the Groovy segment which was first, persons like Konris, Shakki Starfire and X-Man stood out and were crowd favorites.
The Power segment on the other hand, started off with a bang by veteran Contender and Stich In Time who both had the crowd jumping and waving. It was however, taken down a notch after a few performances as the rain had put a damper on the night.
