Dennison “Dice” Joseph has won the Calypso Monarch competition for the sixth time.
The announcement came in the early hours of Sunday morning February 10, shortly after the 2013 calypso final had ended at Carnival City.
In second place was Caressa. Web placed 3rd and Bobb came 4th.
The placements are a replica of the results of last year’s competition.
Below are some photos taken at the show.
STOP HATING
congrats dice
Who is a calypsonian? Somebody who knows please explain. Is one who writes and sing a calypso or one who sings a calypso? Apart from Caressa, Derose and ????? most of the other calypsonians have song or calypso writers. The new generation of calypsonians – the juniors – they have writers too. What are we saying. Michal Jackson didn’t write all of his songs. In this industry, there are writers, singers,performers, critics, die hard fans and haters, players of instruments, judges, patrons. There should be room for all of us. Let us give each other an opportunity to be the best they can be……………….
Congrats to Dice, but I really don’t see what about dice that is soo exceptional. People just on a band wagon. If you all talking about voice, there are many other calypsonians that sings better than Dice – Bob, Web, Diamond, and the new girl Electra. Some of you want to down play the props and presentation of Caressa, but when you really check, is not the voice why Dice is on top, and definitely not the lyrics either because there were other songs that were stronger lyrically. The fact is people just like Dice, and he starts a step ahead of everybody because of that. If this he is soo exceptional, has he made any impact in the caribbean- I mean even a fraction of what the mighty sparrow has done?
Dice again! Well deserved. Apparently some of u wasn’t looking at the same show that night. Fools!
Every year we come and do the same thing on DNO after each and every show! Why don’t we just accept the judges decision is final and some of us will be pleased and others will not be. That doesn’t mean you cannot criticize but do it constructively or better yet channel those emotions of hatred towards the competitors who have nothing to do with their placing towards bettering the artform. Big up Dicey, Karessah, Webb and my personal favorite Bobb!
ebeh the calypsonians went all out this year
The public and private sectors need to big up this young man and reward him.
This man needs to get on every stage, wold-wide.
Farakan only heard him for half a second and said that he was good, damn good.
I think caressa should leave those bias people calypso business alone. Caressa was the winner by leaps and bounds. The judges should not be dominicans but other regional judges who hold no favours. Had it been neutral judges caressa would have won even dice knows that, but caressa is from the wrong village. It is ironic that many who speak against injustices suffered at the hands of colonial masters, other regional countries which are more affluent than others and fromm the government of Dominica, does the same injustices to others. Everything in Dominica is bias from court cases to calypso judging. My best advice to caressa is distance yourself from these people competitions because they dont consider you Dominican.
Dice is the one who is said to be disfavoured by the judges. The points that they took from Dice and gave to Caressa, only prevented
Dice from winning by leaps and bounds.
If Caressa was not considered Dominican, them why did he received crowns before?
Did you forget Dice did not compete the 2 years Caressa won the crown.
That crown belongs to Caressa. This was an injustice done boldfacely.
you are judging caressa only on his props and all the jokes; but that too had flaws.
@ Truth wasnt it an injustice to Bobb when he came first runner up to karessah when Karessah won his second crown? Bobb had clearly won that year and was given to karessah to give it a rest.
Karessah didn’t score enough points to beat Dice. He would need a landslide victory to be considered the new King so chill out. Besides Dice had way more rendition and is a deadly performer. The boy deserved his crown, people can say what they want: 6 TIMES!!!! and counting, DICE AGAIN!!!
Like everything else they will pick who they want to win (pre judged) and not the best and will remain subpar in everything.. people should boycott the so called competitions.
Eg. National teams, queen show ,other talent competition
No wonder its so hard to make progress….
Oh
And the site administrator will censor my comment
Biased, someone as popular as dice won the crown and only 18 comments, I smell a rat
Not suprised at all. Stop behaving like all you suprise stupesss.
I watch the show and I called it exactly as the judges. Well judged show..thumbs up!
Dice is a master at his craft…the only way to de throne him is to give him competition. Caressa, Bob and Kelly was his competition but they all fell short on execution and delivery. People need to understand that Dice is in his element. I beleive the kid was born for this. That’s why it will be a challenge (not impossible) for some one to beat him at his own game. I always say that Dice will only loose the crown by his own default.
The kid is a GENIUS.
Congrats to all the Calypsonian. It was an amazing 2013. Don’t be discourage…simple master your craft and bring the best that you can. Dice have set the standards, it’s now the calpsonian responsibility to study his craft and attempt at beating him at his game. With that being said Good Luck becuase again Dice is in his element and the kid was born for this.
CONGRATULATION TO KING DICE!
well it lookin like it hav to take only one person to take that crown away and i knw that he was glad that d person wasn’t taking part this year. big up to u dice congrats, tasha p will remove u for sure lol
great King Dice…congrats, and you did not overplay your presentations…u used your voice and skills…wonderful…next year again….just go for it…
If we need to include “who vex lost” and stuff like that it is because we know he does not deserve it. I heard that from the commentators as well as the Master of ceremony right after the crowning. The judges need to judge the show on the night of the competition not before the competition.
We need to raise the standards of these shows in terms of judging. We are still mediocre.
It could only be Ovaltine to be such a hater Milo would never be a hater like this. Go sweeten your tea ovaltine and leave Dice alone he will not everyone will wear a graduation gown but his talent you cannot touch it was given by the almighty God so wear your gown while he use his talent. Please don’t be a hater. God Bless Dice and no man can curse him. hold your blite Ovaltine.
I find it really funny that from Saturday night only 18 comments have been posted and the majority in favour of Dice. DNO step up and show a balance… who you think you fooling. Block this one too.
I am a huge huge fan of DICE but lets give Jack his Jacket.
KARESSAH deserved that crown more than DICE. Lets be honest here. Fan or not.
Scrunter is still my favorite Calypsonian. But it seems it has gotten so far up his head that even the judges hate him.
Congrats to king Dice……
the show was a good show, great standard as always well except for soul puss, he should have just let that go the day of the show man you were not prepared and worst yet singing about not letting money make you do madness and is the finals money that make you hit the stage repeat an verse then start to do madness…i think Karessah deserved the crown but congratulations to Dice..also Daddy Chess should place and not Bob, first round bob was okay second round i was wondering what the hell he was doing…Daddy chess was solid both rounds…hmmmm all in all good show. congrats to webb as well.
For those of you who think Karessah won the crown, Let me first tell you guys coming on stage with plenty props and an elaborate presentation doesnt make you win a crown. Karessah gets carried away with his presentation and that fools the judges and his fans. The second year Karessah won the crown he was clearly beaten by Bobb in both rounds and was given the crown. And for those of you who thinks Bobb should not have placed,you people clearly dont know calypso. Stop lookings at personalities and look at: Lyrics, Melody, rendidition and perfomance on the night.
I thought that black diamond would have gotten a position in the top four… the judges must stop rob young people of the praise they deserve
Ya, but the judging was tight. There must have been a tie there.
pat aaron, again and again and again….dice is a performer not a calypsonian… congrats to Karessah, good job… well done
Educate me!!!! What is the difference between a performer and a calypsonian.
Nuff respect and congratulations to the Majesty of the at form, the Dice. You deserve an Independence award 2013. Putting that aside, the government should reward the Dice handsomely for making history. There are tourist who do come to Da, just to see the Dice perform.
I am taking some space to wish dear Ghetto Prince a speedy recovey. Hope the management of Stardom tent find it in their heart to donate $10,000 to him and to remember that CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.
Dice won Dice won Dice won just like Ossie Who dont like it lump it thats our King
well done king dice congratulation to you
great job dicey
dice congrates, but even if i am your fan i will speak about what i believe… and i believe caressa had the edge over you and bobb should not be in the top four..
Dice again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See in NY.
Boy DICE just great.!!Can’t touch this…We all have our strong points and Calypso is where Dice strong..boy mister good…Great performance.Do what you do best my boy…Bless up..
7 times times king & 6 times crown. they can keep the first crown. He doing it again and again and again and again and again and again.
DICE AGAIN.
& times king 6 times crown. They rob him of hos first crown but that ain’t gonna stop him.
Congrats to our calypso monarch . I would like to say though that the crown was one which Karessa deserved since overall from the first round he over -powered his other competitors . Though Dice had a thin edge in second round , not enough to take that crown . This is the second year we watch a man who worked hard writing his song with lil to no help at times and being cheated . Dice now is time you pick up and educate yourself in the field so you’ll be a calypso king not a performing king , and surely not wearing pat aaron’s crown . Best wishes to you on your reign and hearts out to the rest of the nine who worked hard , elektra , deros you guys are only to get better .
i was fortunate to have watched the entire show while i must admit i enjoy watching Dice’s performance but he didn’t deserve the crown. Karessa did better in both rounds. this is not good for calypso and the patrons.people travel from far to attend these activities and this unfair judges needs to stop that shit.
Dice 4 king. This was clearly Caressa’s Crown. Whether or not Dice sang that nite, he would be crowned!!!!!
am dice fan but this was caressa crown. Caressa lyrical content was great. dice you were not all that this year, but the judges ruled in your favour
Congrats king dice
congrats to you my brother six time dice again well done.
again??????????????????????????????? really well great job dice keep winnin the big ting
DNO- Why can’t we leave comments on the Bishops carnival message. I find you all really protecting this man. From what may I ask?
Ossie we know you can be biased towards Dice. You love your boy but to hear Ossie make a case and say he would have placed Derose 4th in last night competition was really a traversity of speech…. Ossie oblige ta sous.
That sixth crown belonged to Caressa and not Dice. Any rationale thinking persons saw that Dice was well and truly beaten in the first round. Caressa beat Dice in both rounds. Even Dice was suprised, there were Dice fans on that ground who openly admitted that Dice had lost.Ok he was given a crown let us see which of his songs can be used in a Caribbean competition. After six crowns Ossie, your boy should be have been able to have at least one international hit song. Check your stats not one can be used outside there because they always refer back to local government issues. Agreeably Dice has one of the greates singing voices but he was beaten last night. You know and I know this wasnt a convincing win like how you all would make it.
That crown was for caressa
I was at the show and im so not sorry to say this but Dice should not have won that crown, Karessa was much stronger lyrically, presentation wise, and all other categories than Dice.
presentation is just 10 points ppl. what about rendition an lyrical content? its not whether karassa was more funny that dice. dice was just great
Caressa sent himself to Kaiso Gentle Rest when he went in the coffin. Doesn’t Caressa know that it is ominous to enter a coffin while you are alive. It brings bad luck to whatever you are doing at the moment. He buried himself right in the first round.
I don’t know if this is the best place to say my piece but since I seem to have no other options, here goes.
I paid $14.99 to see the queen show and $19.99 to see the calypso. I saw intermittent potions of the queen show and I saw four calypsion sing. Then I was asked to pay for the show again. I do not know how this can be fair so I want to know who I need to call about a refund of my money. Thanks for any assistance you can give in this regard.
“what a surprise”,did we think any one else would win.Boooooooiiiiinnnnng.Can we play this to carribbean friends in the UK or USA.
Thanks for the pics Admin. Great talent from my fellow Dominicans. Love to all the calypsonians and congrats to King Dice. Big up to Caressa who had me laughing out loud. Great job.
diceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee again six peat respecct dice
Dice u performed well but the crown was caressa own. And could someone tell me y the bob and web was placed other than black diamond , rass Kelly , or Electra what was web last song about? even if a song is mask it should b easy to follow the message like Caressa. Now the judges need to b shuffled they are prejudging the show
To all de De Caressa fans; Caressa is all is alll histrionics and comic relief. He never fails to have me cracking and bursting at the sides. I would give him a crown for earning the title of Drama King.
Doh matter how he did last nite, because of how the crowd react they would have still give it to him .
WEBB sang better than Dice
I like my Dice on Ice!!! congrats, you tell it well,you connect and as s result you deliver.Just on Ice
Congrats to my king you deserve it six time them hates leave dice alone our king and will always be our king ..
I judge the show while watching it in the USA and I had Dice leading caressa by 3 points, but I had Daddy Chess leading The Bob by 2 points, don’t know what I missed.
@ D A you missed the lyrical content of Bobb’s both song. Daddy Chess was no where close to beating Bobb with that diaspora song and soca madness song.
well, well………..well done Dice!!
this is the results i expected, i guess u even had ur crown trial before the show!! You will still remain in Dominica and not represent anywhere… you don’t have what it takes!! tehy can cheat for u here.. not out there!! Big up Rastass!!
good job dice. Congratulations to all the finalists. Caressa you did a great job. Honestly i think you and dice should be tied if this was possible but the crown was definitely between the two of you. The show was great. I enjoyed every bit of it. Big up to the calypso association.
dice again
yaa cant keep a reel man down. de mor u burn fire!!!de more dee king will rise 1love king
only haters put thumbs down for dice!!i live in ny city and i stayed up listening to the show from beginning to end and dice did a tremendous job on his both songs!!Dominicans are set of haters thats why our country is not going forward!!job well done to all the calypsonian!!dice again again again again again and again
I want to congratulate my cousin Dice on his Calypso Monarch title AGAIN!! I think this time he deserves a scholarship. 3rd time was a charm and even double 3rd is greatest. If the carnival queen could get a scholarship then Dice could also get it. He deserves a chance. Skerrit should look into that instead of the other stupid stuff he looks at!!!
Congrats Dice! He won already, six times. But I hope he is not only in that for the rum and the party. He has won the crown 5 times already, but has not yet achieved ANYTHING meaningful with his life: a house? A business? A continuing education? A mariage? It’a time to move on and progress. Hope this time is different, After six crowns, there should be an improvement in your life. Show the good example.
To the calypso association this need to change (calypso singers should not wear the crown only true calypsonians.)Be fear to the true calypsonians in the competition pleas.Soul puss you need to start writing your songs again. (I think calypso singer should compete in tents only.)
Dice didnot deserve to win, Caressa was suppose to win last night. The judges and them wanted Dice to win, they had their king already.
Congrats King Dice….with that said…i don’t understand how he beat Karessa….not that i dont respect the decision, i just dont understand it….Karessa is the Only Calypsonian whose songs are actually creative while dealing with very pertinent issues…which is truely what calypso is about….While KING DICE is very very good at what he does, and his songs are very good in isolation, he sings about the same things year after year…..not hating…constructive criticism…
Caressa should stay away from the competition. Caressa won by leaps and bounds. They should have foreign judges judging the show instead of these bias judges. Had there been judges fro Antigua and Trinidad Caressa would have won. Thats the way Dominica is right now, everything upside down from court cases to calypso show. Dominican judges dont believe in class or quality, but who they know and like more.
Dont you think that Dice will say, because of who he is, the judges are always tight on him?
At the end of the day, the judges decission is final, right or wrong, good or bad, so please let’s just accept it and pray that fairness will one day reign…….? will it?
Congratulations Dice! I didn’t see the show, but I wish him the best.
Now he has to be a role model, and pull up his pants!!! I saw him in NY last year, and was disappointed in the way he carried himself. Being an ambassador embodies everything not just singing it, embrace everything.
Thank you.
It’s true all show are prejudge don’t forget the junor monarch too , is who you are and who know you it’s not about the best man win, we need judges to come from overseas the night befor the show ,they don’t know any one and the result will true
Congratulation to Dice, but poor judging on the judges part.
There was a year when Dice was cheated by the Judges and this year they cheated Karessar.
This is unfear.
Congratulations son, I ‘beat’ you enough and I am glad that you paid attention to the lessons.
May the Father, Jah, Allah continue to guide your footsteps and also keep you on the straight and narrow path.
Relax, enjoy your reign as Monarch. Take care of your children our ‘grand children.’
Your Mother & Father from Zion.
The show was well judged, I am a Karessa fan but he wasn’t better than the reigning king to dethrone him. After the first round ghost was very good but he committed calypso suicide with the tight shoe
Dice was the clear cut winner last night. After the first round, it was quite clear that the standard of the show was much lower than usual. Dice, Caressa and Bobb were at the top after the first round and yes in that order. Caressa is always big on presentation, I agree but we need to remember that presentation only carries 10 points. Dice himself had a good presentation as well for “beat me mama beat me” which was lyrically stronger than Caressa’s “gentle rest”. Caressa only did justice to that song at the end…again because of his presentation/props. The second round Dice outperformed him by far! Better lyrics and great stage presence. Whether or not we like him, the guy is a natural….he makes it look so easy. Caressa depends on his presentation and props to get him to the top. He is also a great performer. At the end the judges did a great job except placing Web before Bob.
Congrats Dice. Expected nothing less.
DICE AGAIN!!!!! WHO VEX GO DRINK SEA WATER IN MARIGOT!
King dice again. But he didn’t deserve that crown. Caressa did. But big de king. 6 times in a row. Do wat u do best.
Dice again,again,again,again,again and again.!see the good in you and do good and everything else will be put in place-Dice wordss!
Something is wrong. why nothing change this year? That is a trend in dominica man.Dominicans take the chain of your brains.
I watched last night’s calypso show with a group of friends. Some were from many corners of the caribbean. I gave each a score card and the four areas of judging. After the show was over and we gathered all the score cards, we all had Caresa and Web ahead of Dice. Furthermore, Bob was not anywhere in the top equation. The results left all of us totally baffled. We all agreed that there must be a high level of biasness involved in the judging. We then agreed that the judges should be made up of individuals from Dominica as well as areas throughout the caribbean in order to weed out this biasness. Its allmost as if the king is pre selected. If this continues, calypso in Dominica will be just a joke. All calypsonians should be on a level playing field no mather popularity. Last I heard crowd participation was not a judging area.
Dice wining calypso is no longer fun , its predictable , someone else needs to win…stupes
Why is daddy chess not in the top four, he had two great songs, clearly better than the bob.
Congratulations Dice, keep breaking the records. Love you!!!!. You are a treasure to calypso.
That was a draw!! unfairness to the Karessa and calypso fans.The DCA needs to change their style of judging.One single individual should never judge all the categories.Judges came with their preconceive king.The prize money of the first runnerup and king should be splited..therefore the Dice and Karessa should share the $34,000.00.The Dice and the Karessa did not beat each other last night.Calypso is the peoples thing
OVALTINE,
Whats your problem? Go drink some Milo. Leave Dice mother out of your none sense. We all have to pray for each other.
Dice certainly has judges in his corner all the time. I thought Caressa edged him- with lyrics granting him that advantage.
i know dice i am from boetica his mother is my school mate, dice is not a bad person he came from a good famly, don’t spoil the man’s name he knows his father we all came from the same community. we love each other, boetica is the only place in Dominica you will not here people taking out maypre’.God gave dice a gift and no one can take it away from him who dont like him go to hell,
Congrats Dice…you surely have the class in you!
Didn’t Louis Farrakhan give the Dice the Thumps Up..When He Visited Dominica…
Shows that the Guy is a Gem, just like in Sports You Have Lara,Jordan,Pele and the list Goes on!!
I think the other competitors need to have a better second song..that was the only drops off in the show..so from the beginning it was Dice and Caressa Period…
Congratulations Dice…..Ghetto youth triumps AGAIN
The best calypsonan fromm DA ever. And trust me he is going to do it again and again and again. Only he can stop him self. Great job Rasta they just can’t stop u now,you are a natural born Song killa give him any song and he will mash it up. Just be aware of the hatez they will try to kill you.
Let us face reality calypsonians who performing in the finals should sing songs that is written by the Calypsonian himself,that is what you describe as a true calypsonian winning the crown.Calypsonians should be creative they should write the composition and perform it.That is very important component in being a true calypsonian.They should sing songs written by other people in tents.
@ Concerned Dominican: everyone has his/her talet. Some can write and sing, some can write but cannot sing, some can sing but cannot write. That doesnt make those who dont write their songs less of a calypsonian.This happens worldwide in all genre of music not just calypso. The majority of the pop artists dont write their songs.
Shut up. So as Whitney didnt write majority of her songs she wasn’t a real songstress. Each of us have different gifts.
Dice is Just a Class Act Period.
Carressa is good too..but in the end Dice nosed Infront if you listen to both tracks of Dice..
That’s King’s Material..a better flow and melody along with nice harmony etc..
Carressa at times becomes too much of a lengthy story teller I know he means well but it kinda does not hit you off the ball park, as dice does…
Congrats Dice you are International Material for Sure..Hats off Bro!
congrates karessa
why is it so hard to give the king his crown?
judges need to retire.. typical dominicans!!!
AH FU A WEE COUNTRY
congrats king dice!!!!
I thought he had lost the crown when he shouted the second song. The judges saw him in front I saw Caressa. No hard feelings. All for each and each for all!
congratulation “Dice” I will compare with my best soccer in the world “Lionel Messi”
congratulation “Dice” . I will compare you with best soccer in the world “Lionel Messi”.
No controversy this time Dice simply was the best. What baffles me is the fact that so many of the competitors had such weak second songs. the calypsonians really need to put more emphasis on developing a strong second song.
I was at the finals. congrats to Dice but in my opinion there was no competition. The guest artists who made the show excited. Daddy miller couldn`t make from the elimination to quarter finals? Ahhhh!
congrates
congrates dice
Congratulations Dice, job well done
this was caressa crown, i mean why these judges repeatedly do this. this was so clear. dice himself was surprise
The standard of calypso continues to deteriorate. There were so many competitors to start with, what we need is quality not quantity. I cannot believe that none of the other calpysonians have what it takes to come off with 2 good songs lyrically and with good beat to unseat the same parade of guys.
Pat Aaron and Jackson need to be retired, let’s get some fresh folks writing calypsos. This whole bunch was cosionee, I am glad I watched it from home instead to going to stand in the park for 6 hours. They need to get their act together to improve the quality of the product. Dominicians are so gullible they will accept mediocrity as they do in politics, customer service at the banks and other service providers. SHAME DAMN SHAME
congrats dice i knew that u will become king 2013 six times in a row wonderful and caressa bobb webb u all did great
HAPPY 2013 CARNIVAL HOW BORING
It is plain to see that the judges do not need a dictionary and a translator to understand King Dice the others are great but they are entering the King Dice Palace.Future luck to the others and six cheers for King Dice and best of luck in future
Only reason he win, is because their wasn’t not much competiton, they didn’t sing their best…. n if they did i sure their would be a different outcome, this years calypso wasnt the best of the best…. bt Congrats on your win dice
“Beat me Mama, beat me Teach me mama teach me” Dice again again and again
YOU GO KING DICEEEEEE!!!!!!
Big up dicey.give credit where it hs due
The show was prejudged what a shame , for how long will this continue. we need to do better in Dominica.
dice again again again again again again yes my king u did it again.this was no surprise to me.BIG UP
Cograts DICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. To hell with the haters. SIX (6) times Calypso King. To hell with the haters tell them they got to work hard to beat you.
This compitition was a knock out…No one was close to the king…Dice need no favour like some do..Start from bottom to reach to the top..Great job King.
Congratulations King Dice!
Again & again & again!
Two things i like most are Calypso and Cricket and my pressure always rises when I hear unsavoury comments made about the calypsonians /players (WI) of these two. Last night I heard things like “But you still wouldn’t win”, “With that presentation there, karessah must win” (mark you the gentleman mistook props for presentation eh), “Calypso is your own den” and more, all these were against Dennison Joseph. My God, here is a young man, somebody’s son, brother, father, uncle, significant other, friend…who many have said has done ‘ bad” things in the past. In 2005, he told us “calypso has rescued him”, in 2006, he said “Who Jah Bless no man curse”, again in 2013, he is saying, he wished his mother had used the belt more frequently. Is high time we stop reminding people of their ugly past and help them along the way to positive and new directions. Dice is talented and we all know that, I am certain he scores high in all the components of the judging criteria and that is where he can sing “Humty Dumpty” and even the nine other finalists’ songs and BEAT dem too. Unlike many others, his words come out clearly , he renders, he articulates, he performs, as for presentation 10 out of 10. All that said, I may be bias but i support class, quality and positive vibes, and as long as I live, barring any unforeseen circumstances Dicey has my full support. Stop bashing people and give them their dues, he was NOT given the crown , he earned it.
role the dice again
Dice all the way!!!! You make us proud. Going for seven next year.
congratulation Caressa, you shold be the one wearing the crown looking forward to next year
Everybody do something crazy…Carnival is pure energy. AAAHHHH! DICE AGAIN! WHO VEX GO IN YOUR CORNER AND WEEP DOE COME AND DO YOUR NONSENSE DERE. Dice all the way!
i dont go to calypso shows because i always know who is going to win. its always obvious. now i have my 70 dollars to make a big breaky. where yours?
congrats!!!!!! God protection King!DO YOUR TALENT!
2013 MONARCH IS A REPLICA OF 2012
I’m proud of my boy Soulpuss for coming through (do de dance). Congrats to Dice and Karessa.
Dice again?? That is madness… After all the drama Matt’s boy still did not place. Was Pembo judging last night? As for the Bob… I do not understand what show the judges saw. Well, I waiting to hear what Ghost has to say. Calypso in DA is becoming MADNESS!!!!!!
Congrats dice you deserve it. Legendary. And to all the other contestants, Congrats to all the other contestants.
congrats to dice
I think that Dice was crowned King even before the show began. And that’s very bad for future and up-coming calypsonians.
He did not sing his fist song with any melody and he did not keep-up with the band to make it rhyme.
The Web, on the other hand, sang very well, with good diction and melody.
Dominicans, we need to look at the method of judging, because they look at popularity before the competition itself and that should not be the case.
From what I see, it did not matter what Dice did on the stage, he would have still been selected as King.
Are you suggesting that we get overseas judges? And we should get overseas teachers? overseas doctors? Overseas policemen? Overseas Politicians……….
COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN………….
Congrats to my king dice. I love you splendid performance. DOminicans need to understand that this was not a queen show presentation only carried 10 points and I give karessa that he had a great presentation but and I say but his lyrics,rendition,and melody were lacking big time. Learn about calypso before coming on DNO and talk.
Derose Pemberton was’nt a judge see what happened.
Sorry Electra never a replacement of someone’s ill fate.
Honestly Dice performed very well. congratulation six winner.
Team King Dice!!!
Congratulations King Dice on your splendid performances and being once again the Calypso Monarch 2013…you always demonstrate such talent, passion for what you do and you sing like you actually “feel” your words not like some others. Go Dicey nothing can stop you now. Use the negative criticisms as stepping stones to becoming a better person. Love Youuuuuu King Dice and congrats once againnnnnn
Will the government of Dominica grant King Dice Kids a Scholarship. Can the scholarship that Tasha P was granted be granted to his next generation……. Well Done Dice…(bubble city)
congrats congrats congrats!!!!!! Dice again and again and again! And for all those who pulling the man down…BETTER he do what he doing than go and steal and deal drugs! ANYWAYS…u can never please everyone…so carry on king! And to all the others job well done!
Caress a is the king!
dice shall remain as king until he chooses to retire from calypso.DICE AGAIN!!!!!!
king dice beat caressa on voice clarity cause it was real tight i think tht was the key element voice cause both these guys had strong songs but dice edge him thts why his king
DNO…i think the heading is a bit exaggerating…….The heading could have been “Dice Again” and it would have sounded better.
Dice is a talented young man, he probably need someone to really give him some competition at the calypso show. You all cannot blame the judges he won because he deserved to win. When will we learn the judges decision is final? You all complain after all the shows about the judges decision, get over it
Congtays King Dicey who jah bless no man curse KINH DICEY Again and again roll the DICE amd see. we eh fraid at all
dice again /blose in their tail dice keep it up
Dice is a talented young man with great potential. I wasnt at the show but if he deserve his crown then let him have it. Its time we realize that the judges have the last say. We all cannot be judges, after a show we all have our views but please remember that we are not all judges.
So what is that nuhn, everytime is dice! u would swear is election and is one man they want…even if dice sing baba black sheep he will get it, how d show going 2 move 2 d next level if we know d winner already
DNO Admin, I think that it should have been noted in the photo caption that that photo was a file photo from Year WXYZ.
Congratulation Diceyyyyyy, you are my CALYPSO KINGGGGGGGGGGG, well deserving, congrats my boy!!!! we in the houseeeeeeee!!!
great job dice
Really wonder what Bob did there to find himself in 3rd Runner-Up position.
well done
Congratulations DICY
dominica calypso
Congrats to king dice. the judges decision is final. the result cannot be changed but a word of advice to the king. you are now an ambassador of the state and the voice of the youth. do some self-introspection as to the direction you want to take your life and the legacy you want to leave behind. be mindful that the quality of friends you associates yourself will not contribute meaningfully to you legacy. the youth looks up to you for guidance and direction. do not disappoint them. i would admonish you, do a programme at the state college to polish up your raw talent. there is life after kaiso, so beb counted then. once again congrats and god bless you.
i wonder what prevented karessa from being king?
Dice is the best. (PERIOD)
There is a six on a dice. big up.
So the judges eh give Derose ‘his” crown? LOl when Lennox investigate the matter he will come gunning for the Calypso Association. hahahah. He will say ” Illegal Calypso King” Just wait and seee.
Congratulations to Dice
Good.you did verygood,
Congrats to Dice……. but Caressa has alway been my king………Well done
DICE DICE DICE DICE DICE DICE!!!!!! DICE AGAIN an AGAIN an AGAIN an AGAIN an AGAIN an AGAIN!!!!!!!Woiiiiiii….. So tell me allu had expect anybodies else den!!
So what happen to Deros? Lol. Yes Deros, De one Matt think was going to win? Lol, lol, lol! Well Pembo you in problem….they going to sue you…
no competition for Dice, easy win this year…. Congratulations…
i’d like to also say, it doesn’t matter how much crowns Dice win, in my book Hurricane and Brakes will always be better…. back then had CALYPSO… and competition was tight… these 2 guys could really sing calypso and there renditions were superb… i wish we had another ‘brakes’ to compete with Dice…. it’s way tooo easy for the King….
Dice is now the MJ of Dominica’s calypso
Dice again , well done my calypso king , ya had work pays
Dice should step down… no competition!!!!!
Karessa won that crown!
Only in Dominica the reigning King goes into the competition with the advantage and the others have to score a knock out blow to win.
They need to stop that nonesense. The slate must be wiped clean at each competition.
only Dice can beat Dice one of these days he will be singing for JESUS.
Congrats Dice, well done….Haters stop hating..When they hate you we just love you more…Who Jah Bless no one curse
Congrats King Dice . Besides the Ghost , Dice and Caressa all other competitors were weak which made the show extremely boring . Black Diamond the future looks bright for you just remain on the positive side .
Congrats to Caressa , Web and Bob .
Well done Dice,your got the crown because you deserved it, you worked for it and earned it…Well done and do it again, again and again for us!
Dice again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
some ppl just low mined dice u are de best in kaiso congrat on winning number 6
Congratulations to King dice,from the big apple,well deserved way above the rest,History will teach us no one has done it like him. We are awaiting with great anticipation to see you in the big apple soon.
I want to know why was Web placed?
congrate to u dice again again and again
congrats
again add it 3 more times…dats my boy aself
Congrats Dicey!!
The critics on q95 need to stop hammering on Dice and concentrate on y bobb was place instead of Daddy Chess… Stop stressing on the man u all are a set of hyprocrites.. Only Dice can do that…..eheheheehe
Q95 was not hammering Dice…they clearly any of the 2 would be king…BUT based on who had a stronger song.Caressah would be the choice. I do agree that Bobb had no right there…Daddy Chess had to be placed.
i agree they should stop hammering Dice but Bobb Deserved his place,
Q95 is a non entity of total bias BS.
What is your stress? Sometimes the differnce between Dice and Daddy could just have been 5 points. Half a point could have just got you there. It is better that way than judges have to be breaking ties. The judges had a great task.
The were all superb.
Q95 is just too negative. What are they thinking?
Q95 staff cant be objective about anything its all bias bull****.
congratulation to dice, one love
DICE-ACOR, ACOR, ACOR, ACOR, ACOR, ACOR. SUPER GREAT
You have Acor one too many times. Lol
Hello!!
Allu was expecting different results?
Bigup Dice
I watch the show frankly speaking they had their chosen king.
Stop being bias…Dice won fair and square, listen to Caressa second song and tell honestly say which one was stronger….Dice again
next time you should see it live.
Hope you commented in a positive way…. Roll it eh
He proved that he is indeed the KING. Perfection in both rounds. Crown well deserved…..
Nonsense; these bloody shows are prejudged. Tell Dice mother she need to pray for her son not Dominicans. That’s the closest he will get to wearing a graduation gown. He shouted his second song. It does not make sense to keep competitions in Dominica. Princess show, queen show, Teenage pageant, calypso show — all prejudged. Ridiculous.
NO problem. Karessa keeps all of his winnings. He does not have to share.
OU TOUS MEPUISZANS-
Congrats to Dice Again. But i still love my caressa. u did well. ur song to me had the best lyrical content. at leat u dont have to share ur earnings. well done to the other finalists.
Song , lyrics. So y the hell u think he in second place nd not first.
What do you know about lyrical content? Nothing I guess. Caressa had the best presentation which only carried 10 points.
Congrats Caressah Job well done, Congrats Webb you are getting there, Never mind the crown, you two are loved and supported as much.
Why would someone dislike this comment?
Agreed! Caressa was amazing! And Web is getting there.
The scores could have been very close. One is just as good as the other. No scene.
You deserved that crown Caressah. It was stolen and given to Dice.
Caressa is the true king. Dice is the illegal King. The crown was stolen from Caressah. I have nothing against Dice. It’s the first time he is winning that I disagree with the judges. CONGRATULATION KING CARESSAH. YOU DID YOUR BEST AND YOU WERE THE BEST.
Well done Dice
i love disc
congrats Dice…well done…
Yessssss! Six in their tail….SIX! Who vex, do something! Congrats to my kaiso king, De Dice. Jah bless u, my youth; great things lie beyond the horizon. Represent Dominica, and stay true to yourself.
YA this should have been #7 remember when he sang TARZAN that should have been the #1 crown.
Caressa should be crowned KING
Presentation is only 10 points. How you figure he should win the crown. He was great and gave Dice something to think about. However his 2nd round was not as strong as his first.
He will learn too much presentation and no song, this is not smart.
Caressa can’t be crowned king next year may be queen big up to dicey
CARESSA bowled to dice and caressa was hit a six by dice .
Thus dice won be match .
Caressa could be crowned queen next year not king because woman can’t be king
I love Caressa but his 2nd round was not as strong as his first. He did a great job but Dice edged him out with his 2 perfect rounds.
His elaborate presentation which I love only carries 10 points and I bet he got perfect scores there. However we have to realize that melody, rendition and lyrics plays a bigger part and that’s where Dice edged him.
I LOVE both calypsonians but we need to not let our bias cloud our judgement.
Great job Dice, well deserved.
Nonsense; these bloody shows are prejudged. Tell Dice mother she need to pray for her son not Dominicans. That’s the closest he will get to wearing a graduation gown. He shouted his second song. It does not make sense to keep competitions in Dominica. Princess show, queen show, Teenage pageant, calypso show — all prejudged. Ridiculous.
He may not wear a gown but at least he has talent. We need to uplift each other and not criticize. Commonsense will tell you that not all will earn a degree for various reasons.
shout the hell up!!!
Stop being ignorant! High School has nothing to do with this! Dice mother always prays for Dice! you better believe it.
All you Dominicans will reach no where because all you too foolish. Stop hating and spread the love like Dice does…
drink a cup of sani-tea… ovaltine… Dice is Di king deal with it
mister high on Ovaltine man,
me aself finish drink ovaltine if is so dat putting u
My friend over the years I’ve got to accept Dominicans for who they are and what the hold and value . A people who fail to see things for what they should . The show was a spectacular one . I feel all the competitors did their best . I felt sad for the soul puss who should have stayed out of the competition period since he was not at all ready for the show . Overall Karessa gave an extraordinary performance and best rendition , lyrics and presenttion – just unfortunate for him the judges fail to hand him what was rightfully deserved his crown and that was from since the last competition which in my view was his crown then and now . Congrats to all you dudes including our king Dice enjoy your reign my brother and may you pursue higher heights in studies get a profession like the queens and former monarch Tasha-P . Dicey is time to educate yourself so you’d be able to write and compose your own songs so it won’t be a Pat Aaron crown worn by Dice . In that way you’ll be free to participate anywhere without anyone pushing you around . We need a real calypso king in Dice not a performer . Karessa you’re truly a mighty calypsonian in that you write and compose your own songs with little to no help at all . Bobb and Web great job dudes , good effort Elektra , Deros my boy you’re only going to get better , Ras-great come back , Daddy chess- choose what you really wanna sing soca or calypso , Soul puss next year we expect plenty better – you know already how it works too much politics and boom you’re out . Overall I’m truly proud of our calypso great progress .
Why you putting the man mother in that. If you find the judges didn’t do a good job how is Dice you
insulting and belittling. Is dice that make the judges steal then. From your uneduacated comments its
plain to see that you self have never worn a graduation gown. Dice again again again again.
Deal with that!
dice shall remain king until he chooses to retire from calypso.DICE AGAIN!!!!!
kamaya was great..she deserved her crown, queen show was a big vole, dice was great..he deserved his crown. so excuse yourself. anyway congrats to dice, love you always. congrats also to the runner ups and those who participated. <3 you all
Congratulations to King Dice. Big up to his supporters. I am one of his BORN ORIGINAL AND EVERLASTING SUPPORTERS. To his critics keep on criticizing. That is what keeps him going and make him stronger. I think his mom is doing exactly that…… praying for her son. That is why he is soooooooooooooo successful….. it is because his mum is praying for him. That’s what mums do.
For those who believe their negative remarks affecting him keep them coming, he will continue to be victorious. Celebrate your moment King Dice.
Ovaltine stop hiding behind chocolate. If you really want to give DICE advise state your name before you hide behind a phony name. Dice is blessed, favored and covered and believe me NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST HIM SHALL EVER PROSPER. I INTERCEDE for him all the time because the way I see it some of you all would rather wish him dead. I also note that because he sings against the government a lot of persons dislike him for that.STOP Mix Politricks with KAISO. Leh e bon dit e bon. Zon too mashaystay.DICE you deserved that crown nobody could come close to you. I will keep praying for you my brother we need to STOP live like crabs in a barrel.
Drink your Ovaltine and go to bed! You’ll feel less bitter when you wake up…..it’s only a local calypso competition you know, a bit of fun!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but oh gosh, why r u so full of hate? Many have worn graduation gowwns and their self-worth is minimal, so don’t judge ppl by educational achievements. Get rid of that bile on ur tongue, it will poison ur heart.
I wonder how far you have gone up the education ladder yourself …. Grow up my friend
I second de motion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go have a cup of hot ovaltine..n relax smh
JA. You hear a housing somewhere. He will continue to do better as a person, ur wishing him to remainna thug will not make it happen. He has come a long wy. Get off ur high horse. Ur name is not Jesus Christ.
I meant shouting.
@ Ovaltine No matter who one wanted to or expected to or would have loved to win the crown YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE THIS ANGRY.
ASHES ON ASH WEDNESDAY – be first in line.
Have a safe carnival. Play safe mas.
Alas…how LOW!
pure ignorance!!!! maybe you should be the one going back to school….smdh
Peace be with you my friend.
Go in peace.
Bless your soul!
Hey Hey Hey, why all that anger? Your words show that you are full of emotion and that if you meet the king you might do something to him. Why all that to his mother? I think Dr. Benjamin needs to do a number on you. Take it easy loco monster.
Dice is the people’s king.
LOL. wii Bondyé Ovaltine! your comment break record for the most thumbs down wii. woiiii!!!!!!!!
nonsense you talking hater respect dice when young people doing great things u all hate if you listened well he didnot shout dice encore
Haters keep hating thats all you all can do,nothing more nothing less
Yes dj flip, u graduated and u playing music for living. But dice make history ok money ugly duckling
not everyone was caught up to have a DEGREE like you perfect one
Ignorancy is really something else.Stop grudging d man. His mother is not in ur business.What is a graduation gown? iI know of people who have good jobs based on their qualifications and have never worn a graduation gown. The key to heaven is not a graduation gown.
Who Jah bless no man curse!!!.Is the prayers that have him overcoming haters like you..We pray hard…Congrats Dicey…Again and again and again and again and again and again..Roll the Dice AGAIN!!!
We have the record..6 Time King .As the famous commentator said on Sunday morning.’Dice again and who dont like it lump it..!’ Dice the sky is the limit..nothing is impossible for you to achieve..
He always conceives what he can achieve.
Sweetheart stop being so ignorant. the man is good at what he does he does not need a graduation gown. He is already representing DA all over the world. Dominicas are beatiful and can win what ever show they are placed in. They don’t have to be prejudged – Go educate yourself!
you sound like someone Dice turned down.. sigh.. It is ok if he does not wear a graduation gown.. whats imprtant in life is potential and ambition. he has both.. that why he won the crown 6times!!Now do you want some ovaltine with milk if you please??
nonsense.. what does a graduation gown have to do with a calypso crown.. So many sucessful persons out there, who never even graduated from high school or college.. smh…
my king…..6 time king…who vex lost….we on a roll….respect us
