I listen to Lipstick and Ms Y B the other day on Good Morning A&B and they seem very confident that calypso sunday night will once again rise to the top. Let me make two suggestions the calypsonian with the sweetest voice former KING, KING FIAH for the past few years was left out of the finals also Scorpian These are two calypsonians with alot of fans and both come good every year get the judges to [ JUDGE ].Two stop Hating Young Destroyer. Last year the Bear sing a song about a man asking him to come home, who cares? and he won! i bet my money he would not be crown in Anguilla. I called Observer radio one morning and mentioned King FIAH has the sweetest calypso voice, i think Pan Man was the guest at the time and he disagree he said EDDIE MELLO, but i didn't say best singer i said sweetest voice. Try staying up at 5:am and watch the calypso on ABS TV and i wish they could just get a DVD with a FIAH and Scorpian combination.I also wonder if they have any of the old ones with Mighty Swallow with songs like Children and Dawn batting the Monarch and Obstinate and Tumba?

This is such a big jok. Lipstick and company need to be banned for 30 yrs for not been able to keep the art form alive

**Lions** » 2011-05-25 11:24

Still

.....is the joke over yet??

**Lions** » 2011-05-25 11:02

This is soooo funny! I thought slavery was over! This so call committe ban those who defied its dictate to boycott the registration fee implemented by the Carnival Development Committee (CDC) during a recent impasse! Still

:D! Did they sign a contract that says as a member of this boy's club they will never vote / stand / strike aganist their rights? Freedom of expression people!!!! Can someone please tell these power hungry people that this is not national security!!!!!

When the calypsonians join the association, do they give up their individual rights? This is absurd in my view. Anyway, exactly what will these members be missing from not being in the association, not one thing I am sure.

**Beauty** » 2011-05-25 10:04

This sounds like the calypsonians disobeyed a parent's instruction.

What does it mean to be a member of the association? How similar or different is this to a union and its members? If a union called for industrial action and a unionised staff decides not to join them, what would the union do?

The calypso association has all right to make that move. This will send a strong warning to its members. If an association has a meeting to decide there next move forward and everyone agrees to it and then after agreeing some members go behind there back and go against the grain of things then they should be punished. Now imagine if more than 15 members went and registered e.g. 45, do you think the CDC would have reversed their decision? There selfish decision could have jeopardized the whole thing. So I think for the next three years they have plenty of time to learn from there mistakes

This is so ridiculous! First they yammer on about no respect because they weren't consulted about a perfectly reasonable registration fee, then they impose these utterly over the top sanctions on those members who dared to pay it? This sense of entitlement is going to be the downfall of this nation.

**Emancipation** » 2011-05-25 08:49

I commend the association for making their disciplinary decision, hoever, I think three years is a bit harsh.

**Morris** » 2011-05-25 08:30

I find it strange that the association was accusing the CDC of being too harsh and unfair in its tactics, but turns around and is dealing even more harshly and unfairly with its own members. Things that makes you go hmmmm.

**Cool** » 2011-05-25 08:08

I totally agree with the Calypso Association. If they allow the spineless jellyfishes to go scot free then they may not be able to put forward any credible case to the CDC in the future. Well don

What an abuse of power!! This such an unjust act and I hope the calypsonians have grounds to sue the association. These are dictatorial tendencies - Kinda reminds me of the present Government.

**Roadwarrior** » 2011-05-25 05:30

I am trying to figure that the next thing to happen to these calysonians who broke the ranks would for them to be beheaded.
Are we for real that you ban these persons for three long years because of this? Come on, we need more compassion here. I am ashamed of the association!
