Elektra to replace Hunter

Elektra in action

First time calypso performer Sherian “Elektra” Letang will replace Hunter who withdrew from the national calypso final on Friday.

The veteran calypsonian has been under pressure after allegations surfaced that he cheated during the recent semi-final by reading lyrics from the palm of his hands.

Speaking to state-owned DBS Radio. President of the Dominica Calypso Association, Kelvin “Ras Kelly” Williams, Elektra comes in because she was next in line based on the judges scores at the semi final. “Next in line was Elektra at number ten, so automatically she comes in because we will not go with nine, we will continue with ten,” he said. “So one drops out, we just bring in the next person, which is Elektra.”

Efforts to contact Elektra on the decision have proven futile so far.

She entered the calypso arena with her composition “A Woman’s Worth,” which has grabbed the attention of many.

Elektra is no stranger to the stage as she was lead vocalist with the popular concert band Fanatik.

Her song pays tribute to the mammoth contribution of women in various areas of life, locally and further afield.

She has also performed at the Stardom Tent.

    Hunter was well wrong to put this line (“Lenox pwe lang li fe’ telma sort now he have to pay monies to the court”) in his song. Lenox catch him now all you don’t expect him to pound on hunter then.”Is de asphalt”.

    Good Luck Electra sing you heart out, go out there and do your best. That is all that is expected of you. It’s in a Woman’s Worth to do her best.

    Hunter you will always be one of the Best.. and that calypso of yours will do even better than if you would have been in the Finals. Mostly everyone will want a copy of that calypso, I know that is one of the songs I want from this year’s competition for my collections.

    With Hunter out and Electra in – how does that change the overall standings from the two competing camps for the Finals?

  6. in my view
    February 2, 2013

    I am appalled at some of the comments here..We wanted the right and ethical thing to be done by Hunter stepping down which happened, then the next in line with the most points which was Electra gets into the finals automatically yet we have all these negative comments to make? Hey people right is right and wrong is wrong..Accept it this way and let’s move on..Stop all that negativity.

    DOMINICANS are the most set of difficult people!! U can never please them!!! They were on Hunter back to step down from the competition, he stepped down..now Electra replace him is a problem..People with common sense would not be on here typing rubbish..Electra was the one next in line,so if one calypsonian steps down obviously she replaces whoever steps down.. A first grader would be able to understand that..people bit up themselves and make a fool of themselves for no reason….
    On another note Dice is my King!! I wish all the calypsonians the best!!

    Three. Yes three (3)calypsonians were tied at #9 at the semi- final competition. It is no lie. So if one was chosen out of the three by the judges on that night, two would be still left tied. So how Electra was chosen by the DCA with the excuse that she was next in line. Next in which line?

    The judges should have an input in the final selection to replace Hunter, because the other two calypsonians remained tied on the judges list.

    It is not a straightforward replacement. There were two (Soul Puss and Electra) who were next in line due to the tie. Something doesn’t add up.

    If only two had tied in the Semis and one out of the two was chosen to be in the final, then and only then could it be said that Electra was next in line and so she would automatically be the one to replace Hunter.

    How did the DCA come up with that next in line thing? Pleaseeeeeee explain.

    • Alex Bruno
      February 4, 2013

      When a tie is broken, the other party automatically assumes a rank lower. In the case of a 3-way tie, if this was the case, the other two would fall in 9th & 10th position and this is what would have been presented to the DCA. The DCA takes zero part in judges matters, apart from receiving and sanctioning the results.

    i agree! as soon as the scandal broke out, electra and her busband daddy chess were in the studios of q95 even before the hour ended talking about points who had more points etc. they must have known something that we do not know. and to make it more obvious she did not appear in the tent on wednesday keep a low profile everyone knew that they would automatically give her the next spot its all about who you know in dominica

    February 1, 2013

    Which one of you all that are making all those ignorant and senseless statements were a judge? How do any of you all know who was number 10 at the semi-finals? Since the question is nobody, then who should have the right, the privilege, and the authority to replace hunter with someone else?
    Wouldn’t that not be the president of the calypso association? Do we not think that all the judges knew who came out #10 in the semi-finals? Therefore, doesn’t it make sense that he would have to make the right decision, because if he is bias the judges would know and call him out. If this happens, the issue would move from Hunter to the President as being the one that is cheating?
    I believe that ghost is a scrupulous man of integrity and would never put his credibility on the line to be trashed upon.
    We are so socially unhealthy in Dominica. We are always suspicious about each other. We forget that if we cannot trust we will not be able to have healthy and friendly relationships. Our ignorance have prevented us from understanding the rules of law. We are a shameful bunch of people who are ignorant,unlearned, jealous, foolish and cannot be satisfied.
    She was chosen to replace Hunter because she came out 10th in the semi-final and was next in line if something had happened to one of the finalists and they could not perform in the finals. It is irrelevant whether she was a joke on the stage, or her song was not good, or she cannot sing. The bottom line is that she was next in line on the judges score card. Go take up issue with the judges and shut you all mouths.

    Dominicans stop battering the wrong lady. She is a talented young person. She did very well in the semis. Let us support all calypsonians and make the finals the biggest it has ever being. This year the competition tight. Anyone can win the crown.

    • February 1, 2013

      I don’t think she is being battered. Sheriann has some momentum however her ability to stay in key seem to be a problem. The new guy signing illegal calypso king had a great song bit just can’t sing. Not even the studio could hide his cacophonous singing and when he is live it is horrendous. I say this because people cried foul when he was eliminated but the so called pundits refuse to mention that he cannot sing – just like guys like Benji and many of the Gouging singers. No melody at all in the vocals

    From a lover of calypso, Electra, I wish you all the best. You or anyone else did not make the situation save the one person who shall remain nameless. Do what you gotta do sister. You did not make the situation. ( line repeated for emphasis) , according to the one who shall remain nameless. I don’t understand why in the world somebody would forget such powerful lyrics…..unless you don’t believe what you singing.

You are confident and a young beautiful woman so there will always be people out there that will try to bring them down. Remember Chester’s song ‘crabs in a barrel’ ? Do your best and let the naysayers out there dream of being like you.

    Like I said wise Decision by the Hunter to step down . Daddy Chess I hope you’re happy .
    I was in the presence of a friend on Monday when you send them the video clip of Hunters palm , you also stated to that individual that this is not the first time Hunter has done this , along with a few other jabs . The sad thing about it is , you’re playing cool with Hunter but Slandering him in Secret .
    No hate here just pointing out the truth on what I read from you . ( but always remember while you’re pointing fingers someone else is judging you )

    I wish you and Electra the very best at the finals .

    the way things are going, the bad blood being spewed among both political parties, I honestly believe Calypso show should be cancelled because I CAN FORSEE A PHYSICAL WAR in that park.
    Dominicans are just not at the level where they can have a serious constructive, decent conversation without vilifying and maligning people. It is really really sad… Judging by what is on DNO I feel sorry for ayou….. Jah bless

  53. Are you surprised
    February 1, 2013

    No surprise there! Let’s be honest: even before the quarter-finals the DA media has been all about Electra. Every calypso story on DNO (save for the ones involved the recent Hunter scandal) has featured Electra. The radios and the commentators as well. So, it doesn’t matter who was next in line, it would have been Electra. I have nothing the woman – I don’t know her from Adam – but on the night of the competition she DID NOT deliver. She has a great song and she has performed it well at the tents but that night she was off. That’s what she should be judged on – her performance THAT night. But, like my favorite DA female calypsonian Sandy says: “In every thing you do some people for you and some against you”. Apparently it doesn’t matter how Electra performed, the media and the judges are for her.

      she should not feel badly about it at all. the general consensus has been that she was cheated out of a position in the first place. so she is getting what is hers..
      Get over it.

        Who fool you? Hope they not fooling Electra too… I can not believe that her poor quality, lack lustre performance could have been better than the likes of Soul Puss or Checker…

        Since the season start all we keep hearing in the first husband and wife in Stardom… Now the husband and wife reach finals… trying to make history…

        It’ll take more than husband and wife to dethrone King Dice! Is only Karessa I seeing as a strong competition…

        At Stupes. noone is fooling me.soul puss basically sang the same song he sang last year and the year before. this cut and paste thing in claypso needs to stop. while i admit checker song was a good one i still give electra the edge over him. and i agree this year king will be either Karessa,Webb or Daddy chess. So sit back and relax.if ghost had a good second song he would have been my choice as well.

        Shot up Fool. SoulPuss and Checker sang very well and performed TWICE better than Electra with her inability to stay in tune. When ten calypsonians make it to the finals, that’s what it is, who cares if there is a woman in the lineup.

      I would have replaced daddy chess with his soca song with Soul puss (hoping that Soul puss remembers his song and gives no story of a black thing he saw back stage). I LOVE CALYPSO…. controversies controversies controversies. lol.

      • WTF
        February 4, 2013

        Apparently you haven’t the slight clue about Calypso!!! If you deem this to be a soca song then it’s clearly ignorance of the art/genre or just pure hatred towards daddy chess. Listen to the lyrics of this song, listen to his rendition, and we all now he is a performer. it’s time we stop bringing down our own and raise them up. This gentleman represents Dominica in the music industry and is a symbol of patriotism.

    i heard through the grapevine that she tied with two others… yet she alone is chosen… everything in d.a is POLITICS!!! LOL…. i think the D.C.A may have another situation on there hand… from the onset of the competitions it has been drama.. poor judging, poor songs… even sour sour not in it for the road march… unwanted just keep reharshing the same nonsense in different choruses… smh poor season all together

      even if she tied with two others there is always a deciding segment. An example if this is content. Therefore, please do not say that she did not deserve it. Has she dressed up to get presentation points he would not have been there PERIOD!

    • Rebel
      February 1, 2013

      where is the politics?. the two others she tied with were Deros and Soulpuss. Deros was chosen to be number 9 and you cant possibly be telling me that soul puss song is a better composition than hers.
      get over it

      • wtf
        February 1, 2013

        Rebel I think you need to “GET OVER!” your sentiments.Must be you getting paid for being on Elektras defense team eh?

    • February 1, 2013

      If that’s true I hope Matt will investigate or he should call on Lennox to do it for him because we dont need another scandal Canival is just another few weeks and if that was the case maybe the Calypso Association should ask the Public to vote and may the best woman win before making the announcement we all have to learn to do the right thimgs at all times.
      We need to move on because we love our Calypso and Canival

      @ mouth of the south she tied at the semis with two other calypsonians for ninth place, one is already at the final because of the tie breaker out of the two remaining the other one got no votes at the tie breaker so she is there legally.

    This calypso thing is so wrong her the woman can’t even sing her own song good but yet still she in finals…AAA Dominica my mother land… since everything is already illegal why not put the illegal king in hunter place!!

      February 1, 2013

      “Possie mouth”. i think you should replace possie with another P word. that would suit you better. how can you honestly say that the lady “cant sing her own song good” did you even listen to the show.
      Get over it

      February 1, 2013

      u can never be from Portsmouth and dont know Electra is from Possie. Support a Possie young woman she cannot be held accountable for Hunter’s indiscretion

    • February 1, 2013

      I am from Porssie and love HUNTER but don’t condone wrong. I will support Sheriann Parrillonn whether or not HUNTER or LAPENNE was in the finals. Sherman do have some problems holding the key. It is very obvious particularly when she attempts to highlight certain lines. I do hope she work on this aspect of her delivery.
      One song is not going to cut so we need to hear her second song.

    Just as I thought before……..that was a plot to bring Electra in the finals!!!!!!!! Everything in DA is really a pull string. What happen to the good old days when ppl competed and wan fairly. What is this place coming too? My God I wonder what next.

    • Really, though?
      February 1, 2013

      Are you an idiot? The lyrical and musical composition, coupled with Elektra’s powerful vocals and her unique style of delivery, are what make her a qualified finalist.

      STOP HATING, and while you’re at it, maybe do some research on the history of calypso and what makes for a successful song before you jump to the very basic and colloquial excuse of “pull-string”?

      Her delivery on Semi-finals night may not have been her strongest, however, it was sufficient to qualify her as a finalist. This is not to take away from Hunter as an artist overall, but Karma has a way of straightening things out.

      And I’ll tell you what’s next (since you asked): Elektra is going to show up on Final Stage and give the other finalists a run for their money.

      Peace.

        I agree with you, Really. People must not blame Electra for Hunter’s fall. She deserves to be in teh finals (and not by default). Her song is well crafted and she can deliver it. It’s true she faltered on a few notes but she did enough on the night of the semi-final to qualify for the finals. It has always been my contention that she should have been in the final rather than Hunter.
        All the best, Electra. Silence your critics on the big night!

    • February 1, 2013

      And that was part of the reason that Matt brought both husband and wife on his show ” Promotion” he must be pleased with the decision but I don’t believe her singing was strong but we have to accept the move and ifit’s a woman that D’ICANS wanted to make history as some of them claim I would look more at Lady Star performance instead Now if she make it and her husband didnt Calypso Controversy continues.

    Well, I guess she was the last on the list (possible finalist). Work to be done girl….

    • wtf
      February 1, 2013

      The point is she shouldn’t be there. if we had to go by talent that lady would never make it even if she had her song written by sparrow himself. everything in dca is pull-string. is like they like the fact that she married to daddy chess so its an automatic shoe in for her. She cant keep a melody straight, she has no volume control on her voice and she doesn’t sing clearly. That politricks in everything we do has got to stop. Elecktra i hope you don’t accept being GIVEN A SPOT in the finals because YOU DO NOT deserve it!!
