Soca Monarch 2009

Today (Friday) its soca monarch in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Its a big competition with a first price over 1 000 000 dollar TT. But I don't feel its the best song that always win, instead there is a lot of politics going on. Its still worth watching or going thou. When i was there last time, there was all inclusive beer, thats unlimited beers, and for like 100 TT. This year they bringing in celebrity judges to make it look better, but what does Danny Glover really know about soca?
