    Why is Webb a finalist using the refrain from another song? Unbelievable!

      What about calypsonians who come with recycled lyrics, what are your thoughts on that, singing about the same issues every year but in different ways

      Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 5 Thumb down 6

        If the issues are still relevant and I want to sing about them, I had better do that in a different way. But to have the refrain from another song? That’s a totally different ball game.

      Doe dig ma boy Webb is probably one of the best ‘singers’ on the scene. You heard his song ‘…. A Good Good Man’ a few years ago, de man have potential for replay even outside of carnival too đź‘Ť
