  • Unfortunately a lot of us resent when a 'foreign" come here and better us at we own ting. Remember when  Biggie Irie won Soca Monarch in 2007? Even though he was Bajan and black it did'nt go down too well with many. I am no big fan of Andy's style but he and  others can only raise the bar, thats the only way we will go forward. A pity some of us are like dinosaurs with our heads stuck in the sand. Including judges. Watch Andre White! he will muck up the Panorama soon!

    • I did not hear all the Bands that night, when I heard Birdsong played I said to myself that Birdsong will be in, but  after hearing the Arrangement that Andy did for the Tobago band (Our Boys) and some others with this same tune and comparing what he did @ the Semi's I came to the conclusion that the arrangement was not that great, its just that the tune "We kinda music" is very sweet. If you listen to anybody play that tune you will give it a second look, so Its not the arrangement of the tune that night but the tune itself is very very sweet.(But I like it)

       I never Judged a Panorama before, I only Judge the DC/Baltimore Carnival

      Adjudication Criteria,            My Score

      Arrangement,  40 points       30, Andy did not give his All on arrangement   

      General perf,  40 pts             30/25 Tune did not have the spirit of Carnival (it's important in this category)

      Tone              10 pts,             10 Possible

      Rhythm         10 pts.              10 maybe, not sure 

  • I will love to see Andre White given the same opportunity to work with Birdsong.

    • Sure would, but he may have learnt better from Andy's fate...Lets hope not.

    • Cecil: CATT speech meh off last night and say that BIRDSONG does come last no matter who the arranger is. Like yuh want to setup Andre for failure or what.

      Boy, yuh see meh taking all that licks from CATT and yuh eh even come and defend meh. Me and Andy ALL ALONE on this forum, boy. Well, except for some help from Merrytones and the poly-rythms.

      • LMFAO Claude - really???  i wasn't giving no licks, i was just saying how i feel about de ting.  but if the shoe fit though,  you go hed and take some licks.  hahahaha.  nanny nanny booboo.  lol.

        • Catt, Andy is his partner and I told him Andys' outcome will be the same this year so he is having a peroid of depression but he will bounce back for the finals.

          • LOL, i REAL laffing my ass off over this. The man arrangement was NOT in keeping with the style of Panorama. I respect his skill and talent, but is not Panorama style AT ALL - regardless of whether he is being 'punished', or whether the judges just did not think a THIRTY FIVE YEAR OLD tune, nor the arrangement itself, did not deserve a high placement.

            WHY can these people NOT see this? Like they all butthurt and wanna cry about it as if is some big 'surprise'.  WDA did they exPECT?  smdh. and LOL some more.

            .

            • so Catt…what exactly is Panorama style arranging?

              • well, that has been discussed over and over on this forum so i'm not gonna start another discussion on that when we can all read what has already been said about it here, so  many times already.
