Dominica’s calypso monarch Tasha P managed to grab the 1st Runner-up position in the Caribbean King of Kings Calypso Monarch competition at Carnival Village in Basseterre St.Kitts last night.
Reigning Trinidad Calypso Monarch Karene Asche took the top spot from 10 Calypso Kings and Queens from throughout the region to win the title.
Other participating regional Calypso Monarchs in the show included St. Croix’ Mighty Pat, St.Lucia’s Queen Menelle, Nevis’ King Meeko, St.Maarten’s King Timo and St.Thomas’ Kung Fu Plenty among others.
The final results are as follows:
Monarch- Karene Asche (Trinidad and Tobago)- 761 pts
1st Runner-up: Tasha P (Dominica)- 721pts
2nd Runner-up: Pungwah (St.Kitts)- 711 pts
3rd Runner-up: Sacrotes (St.Kitts)- 691 pts
4th Runner-up: Zakari (Antigua)-673 pts
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!
This girl is a wonderful entertainer people… please support her.
I think she is humble but knows her stuff…
Yes!!!

congrats girl
Keeping doing it, only greater things to come, can’t wait to hear you for 2012 – lets go we taking it this year again!!!!!! ladies rule!!!!!
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.
“Justice” and “Let Children Be Children”.
I was extremely proud to be waving my Da flag that night. Tasha P you rock. You’ve made us proud.
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.
Now, bet you Dice cannot do that!!!! Go Tasha go!!!!!!!

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 we love you
Well done Tasha P.
Love you bad!!
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.
good job tasha p,iknow you have the power, thouhg i am a dice man’you are darn good, so i will give your flowers now;good luck in defence of your crown.
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.
so by how much point she lost and did not make it
she lost by half a point, you feel better or worst now, we wan’t to know.
This is a big achievement by Tasha P. Congrats, Your Majesty.
Don’t worry Tasha P next time we will hold them.I’m so proud of you. Keep it up.
Well done Tasha P
way to go my girl congrats
Great job tasha this exposure could only make u great.
Congrats Tasha!! Excellent work girl
Great job Tasha…..keep it going ,you are making the nation proud. In a field with the regional greats like red Plastic Bag you have prove to be a leading calypsonian who cannot be taken lightly. (writer Jacko jackson)
