Twice is definitely nice!
Four years after she first lifted the crown at the tender age of 14, Holy Name Convent, Port of Spain student Sharissa Camejo did the repeat on Monday when she was crowned this year's Junior Calypso Monarch at the Grand Stand, Queen's Park Savannah in Port of Spain.
She beat out 15 other students in the finals with her nation-building song, Everything We Can, and brought to an end the competition which began with 159 youngsters competing in the prelims at schools across the nation.
For her performance, Camejo bagged a cool $25,000 cheque, a trophy and tickets to Barbados. After being announced the winner, the elated youngster reminded reporters of her victory four years ago when she sang, Our Blessed Land en route to winner's row.
