    Meghan Trainor never enter the Soca Monarch competition and try to teach Machel how to SOCA - or cry and beg the judges to change the rules so she could make finals. In fact, Meghan Trainor loves Ricardo Drew and what the other SOCA artist are doing. She hasn't come to Trinidad to redefine SOCA. 

    Claude, my boy Merrytones says folks like you are suffering from PPS (Post Panorama Syndrome).  I think he wuking on a cure. But I think, you and Glenroy have been exhibiting full blown concussion traits. Glenroy has an excuse, his Patriots get good licks in the playoffs. Every year you getting this annual concussion for Andy. SMH. You need to check out the movie Concussion.

    Andy should go to the small band category and try to make a mark. But you know he will never win. Merrytones will never let Andy beat he. 

    Trainor won her Grammy fair and square. No begging, no crying, no arrogance.

    • Bugs: Doh beat up Glenroy for MY SINS. Ah taking meh licks by myself. But just getting the word "SOCA" into those music circles and getting all that PRINT bodes well for a LOCAL to produce the right song. Which is something I have been waiting for and wanting to see happen for years now.

      Hopes she puts some MORE SOCA in one of her future songs along the lines of what BLONDIE did with TIDE IS HIGH.

      The LOCALS have to collaborate more among themselves and with foreign songwriters. I am a big TRINIDAD JAMES fan so I am happy to see him in the BRUNO MARS mix.

      If me and Andy Narell sit down together for a few days I am sure that we could make a good SOCA CROSSOVER.

      • Drue was recently caught off guard when American singer, Meghan Trainor tweeted her personal endorsement of his single, “BET.” A few days after that initial endorsement, the “All About That Bass” singer Shazammed tweetedthe endorsement again, saying, “Can’t stop playing this song. Love this.”

        Claude look for Meghan Trainor to hook up with Ricardo Drue, the Voice or 5Star Akil for next year.
