RIkki Jai and Soca Elvis hasnt really done anything this year. What a shame.

 

the singer for devika didnt make it to semi finals....so no devika

Soca Elvis is on the list under (Michael Saloom – Soca Elvis) as well rikki jai is in it as his real hindi name (

http://chutneysocamonarch.com/

this is the official site for the monarch
as well as site

http://chutneysocatrinidadcarnivalandsouthex.blogspot.com/

which is by southex company which is the major part of the monarch

as report he did get a bypass due to being a winner last year . Today he was on win radio talking about it and wished everyone good luck and win tv did not report that he made it but on the sites it states that he got a bypass only to the semi finals not the finals. My picks are RICK RAMOUTAR, K.I and ANIL BHEEM, but a lot could change from now until the finally. We will see.

 

Although torrential rain fell throughout the main part of the night at the Samar Entertainment Centre, it did not damper the spirits of the artistes who started battling for the first ever 2 million dollar first prize in the 2011 NLCB Chutney Soca Monarch.

More than 120 artistes crossed the stage in what was without a doubt the largest ever cast for the preliminary stage of the competition.

Approximately 80 artistes were eliminated on Saturday night, while patrons and chutney fans voted for three artistes to secure a place among the 41 artistes that will compete at the Semi Final stage of the competition. Ravi B must compete at the second round of this competition to qualify for the Grand Finals scheduled for Skinner Park, San Fernando on Saturday 19th February.

A couple surprise eliminations from the prelims were past Chutney Soca Monarch, Kenneth Salick and last year’s third place winner, Moses Charles who failed to impress the judges at Samar.

15 artistes will go forward to the Grand Final with one person from the 15 being selected via the ‘Text Voting’ system.

Online and International text voting will be implemented from the Semi Final stage. This together with local text voting will decide the ‘BMobile Wild Card’. All artiste profiles and online voting will be available through www.chutneysocamonarch.com

Wow. Kenneth Salick & Moses Charles were both eliminated. That wasn't a surprise because "Planting Cassava" and "Tamara" were just horrible songs, can't be compared to "Indrani". Kenneth Salick's "The Sky Is Blue" and "Bunwatee" is even comparable to the success of "Radica".
Hope you guys try again next year.

By looking at the list of artists, i'm really happy to Devanand Gattoo, he's a true chutney singer.
Lets take a look at this list:

ALISON HINDS - She will be performing "I Want To Wine"
ANDY SINGH - Great to see Andy return, he may perform "With You", but it isn't really a great song.
ANIL BHEEM - "Cyah Go No Way" He's definitely gunna make the top 10.
ASHA KAMACHEE - "Show Him D' Door"
DEVANAND GATTOO - Great to see a real chutney singer on the list. Good luck devanand!
DIANNEDREA SASSY RAMOUTAR - "To Yuh Lover"
DRUPATEE RAMGOONAI PERSAD - Veteran in chutney music, may sing "Come To Me My Lover"
HEERALAL RAMPARTAP - Love this guy, "Doo Doo Darlings" maybe top 10.
HEMLATHA DINDIAL - Great female chutney singer! "D Chamine"
KENNETH SUPERSAD - "Wining On Tara"
LALCHAN HUNTER BABWAH - "Tanty Man" or "Sumatie Daughter" Top 10 for sure.
MAHENDRA RAMKELLAWAN - GUYANESE! Oh man "Lamota" "Dab De Battam House" This shall be interesting to see a guyanese perform in trinidad
MICHAEL SALOUM – SOCA ELVIS - "Why Yuh Leave Me Darling"
NATHANIEL NATTY RAMOUTAR - "Look How She Leave Me"
NAVIN ‘D PRINCE’ PRABHU - The Hitman's brother, doubt he would make top 10, but great singer.
NEESHAD SULTAN - "She Leaving" I hope this guy makes the top 10.
NEESHAN PRABHU – THE HITMAN - "Gyal Leave That Man" Top 10 for sure.

RICARDO MEVILLE – DADDY CHINEE - "Ah Whole Case Of Rum" Alright song.
RICK RAMOUTAR - "Ah Shoulda Never" Big CHUNE! Hope he wins!
RISHI RAMKISSOON - Nothing impressive this year. "She Blocking Me" "We Drinking"
SALLY SAGRAM - Hasn't done nothing this year.
