Antigua St. John's - This country's most decorated Party Monarch winner Claudette "CP" Peters is considering staying out of next year's competition to focus on her international career.
At the same time, CP made it clear she will still contribute to the annual festivity even if she does decide to call it quits.
"I need to make sure I could touch the world stage as well. I need to be on par with the Destras and the Bunjis. It really takes a lot out of you just to prepare for the party monarch show and you could be focusing on something else. That doesn't mean I'm not going to make my contribution to carnival though," the soca queen said.
According to CP, she was considering her options prior to Saturday's Soca Monarch competition in which she did not place.
Since 2005, she has won both Jumpy and Groovy crowns four times.

Confused
NOBODY WANT HEAR YOU....YUH FLOP!!!
In reference to her being a good sportsman...If that were only so. Its a pity you didn't remember those words of wisdom while you and Tizzy were going through your fracas. Have you forgotten the incidents where you allowed your name to be dragged and hence your respect level thrown down? Lady Continue to attempt to fool the public. More and More your complexion is being exposed. All the best.

(Un)Fair Antigua
Secondly, the following statement is wrong in so many ways:
What is she talking about ... Bunji and Destra enter their local competitions in T&T. So does the Soca King of the world Machel Montano. It's only her and Tizzy talking this foolishness. They can't take licks. Although Tizzy got robbed her last year.
Bunji has been out of the competition for the past 2 years, Destra has only returned recently and Machel returned in the past 2 years (hence the reason he was rewarded with 3 crowns, not to mention the rise in prize money).
Know your facts before you blurt out nonsense.

Table turn
Tizzy also got robbed it was all good for CP then. But Tizzy couldn't take it and she gave up. How has her career gone in Antigua or internationally since?
But as soon as CP get licks ... it's not fun anymore ... it's not about her fans who come and support her anymore ... now it's all about her and her "international" career.
If CP had released her songs earlier she would of had a better chance but Tian got all the air play, show play, and his song was even used for a radio commercial that was on every station 20 times a day.
Well let me tell CP this ... if you think your international career is gonna take off by using Faye Ann's regected songs then Good Luck. Just come back and show what your really made of!!! Antigua Carnival deserves better treatment from you after all it has given you. I thought you were our Soca Queen.

RE: CP Ponders Her Future
You have to stay "ahead of the game" darling. Don't wait until de gas run all the way to get new gas. Always keep a little something in the tank.
Hope for your sake that you won't end up being a "HAS BEEN"
Anything is possible, but TIMING is everything. Perhaps your time has gone or the best is yet to come. TIME WILL TELL.
Reality Check
Tek Dat
I hope Antigua people just stop support them since they don't wanna support our Soca Monarch competition.
How are we gonna make it compete with the other Carnivals if we don't have our best artists competing?
Can you imagine how BIG our show will be world wide if we had Onyan, Oungku, Natural Rampler, Tizzy, CP, Tian, Danski, Ricardo Dru, Hard Knaxx competing in it? That show would rival any T&T competition ... but they don't care about our Carnival ... they only care about themselves and them fraid licks!!!

Good Move.

Too Late
Look at how you messed up the Digicel contract; looked at how you parted company with the Da Band; looked at how you allowed "Sleeping" artistes to want to hog your popularity and ride on your back. I am sorry, but I think these are lost opportunities.
I really hope that I am proved wrong, since I really admire you as a top Caribbean artiste; but sometimes...... ............too late, too late shall be the cry!!
