They put MY BOY Mikiel Smith way down in 19th. It is true that he was a LITTLE LIGHT on CREATIVITY but he played THE CALYPSO like a CALYPSO and not how dem BIG TIME ARRANGERS in TRINIDAD does desecrate THE CALYPSO in their PANORAMA ARRANGEMENTS with all kinds ah CLASSICAL NONSENSE.
Ah hope he make the FINAL CUT -- but it is looking a little STEEP for him right now.
No surprise with the 1st place thus far...
