    I just cannot understand for the life of me why JayDee seem not to impress the judges. I do not understand for a song so well crafted is just unable to win the judges. Lyrically is surpasses many of the calypsos if have heard. Web song is a good so but you have to listen over and over to get the message. Chess, one of my favorite, to be honest this time around I believe he has recycle material. Jaydee my friend do not give up!!!
