    I was in St.Kitts not so long ago saw their calpsonians on TV…..boy they have nothing on us…I mean nothing. They should come down to DA to learn a few things!

    WHAT WERE THE SONGS SHE SANG? CANT WAIT TO HEAR HER MIX FOR 2012

      Yea. I meant to add that the DNO article was a bit incomplete, not having published the title(s) of the song(s) that Tasha-P sang to get her to place 1st Runner Up. I like the way how she gave cuddos to the winner (Tasha was 40pts behind the winner), and noted the things that helped the Trini-monarch to win.

    Tasha-P, It seems like the entire nation of the Nature Isle is behind you. CONGRATS again for doing DA p-r-o-u-d!!! Your fans wil be looking forward to seeing you put that experience gained from the two regional competitions (and DOING VERY WELL FOR A FIRST-TIMER) into the local Calypso Monarch competitions in 2012. Keep reaching upwards for the next level. To your song-writers, they made a greeat investment in such a young performer, and it is paying dividends …. in quick time.

    Congratulations to Tasha P. on this achievement. Keep up the good work. We’re hoping that you will produce calypsoes throughout the year, and not only at Carnival time. This will keep you relevant because you will be singing on various timely topics- real social commentary, not limited only to Carnival. Best wishes.

    tasha p you busy but you can still come on f.b once in a while eh…. since after you get in the spotlight it’s like you ban Facebook… don’t you know that is what you have to utilize to keep the fans growing…. remember is the young friends list you have that will keep you going for years to come…. you can’t rely on the 40 plus year olds…. in five years time their bones will be too hard to wine…. one ting i use to comment on your posts eh… since i get to know who tasha is i get intimidated (honestly on knew about tasha when the calypso came around) don’t know her personally,,, just a f.b friend nah lol… lol… but i doh fraid man… is a vybz… just letting you know you have to utilize f.b… just as how Numusiczone and others doing…e.g smokie cut and Colton….and all forms of social media… only on D.N.O i hearing about you…. much success and stay beautiful and lovely… a good role model to dominican young women and older women too….

    YOU SHOWED QUEEN MENELLE OF ST.LUCIA WHO IS THE REAL QUEEN OF CALYPSO IN THE WINDWARD ISLANDS.IT WOULD APPEAR THAT YOU HAVE TO HELP YOUR DADDY INTRUDER,BECAUSE AFTER PULL STRING APPROXIMATELY TEN YEARS AGO,THE PARDNER HAS BEEN MAKING A FOOL OF HIMSELF IN THE CALYPSO WORLD.

    First of all, I would like to extend congratulations to Tasha P for a splendid performance last night. She executed both songs flawlessly last night and was able to captivate the audience. Tasha P gave a very good account of herself among 11 Monarchs (mainly current and a few former ones) from around the region. If Tasha P continues on her current trend and is able to remain humble, I can guarantee you that she’ll become an UNSTOPPABLE force in Dominica’s calypso. Tasha P, you have proven to us that you are capable of standing up against the top calypsonians in this world. It was really wonderful witnessing this show last night – YOU MADE ME PROUD.
