If they didnât make it to the Ragga Soca Monarch and Soca Monarch Final, LIME, Super Platinum sponsor of Vincy Mas, has offered artistes an opportunity to display their craft on stage at the LIME Promenade, in a show called âLook who didnât make itâ.{{more}} The show will take place this afternoon, and will kick off a weekend of activities dubbed âLIME Power Weekendâ.
âLook who didnât make it LIME Monarchâ show is in its second year and artistes who have spent hundreds of dollars on their 2012 productions have been anticipating the staging of this event. They will compete for a chance to win a grand winner-take-all prize of $1,000.
Defending Monarch Recardo âRekkaâ Wilson will defend his 2011 title and the competition is expected to be keen, based on the interest shown by many artistes who didnât make it to Victoria Park for either Ragga Soca or Soca Monarch.
LIME General Manager Leslie Jack is keen to host these talented Soca artistes and commented âLIME again shows that we are not new to innovations. Last year, the Soca artistes who never had a chance to perform on a stage competed at the âLook Who Didnât Make Itâ show and the excitement was overwhelming. Could you imagine these artistes spending hundreds of dollars in producing their music and the radio stations and DJs donât play them? These guys need an outlet and LIME is proud to create this avenue for them to impress their fans. The winner will take home $1,000, winner-take-all prize which will assist in paying back some expenses for their productions.â
Twelve finalists will take the stage from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and will be judged on presentation, lyrics, melody, crowd response and rendition.
