Road March predictions...
1) Jumbie - Machel Montano
2) Open the Gate - Shurwayne Winchester
3) Higher Than High - Machel Montano
I saw Winchester perform last night, and he's a damn good performer. I was pleasantly surprised. We had mad fun. I did not get to see Machel live yet for Carnival, and at this rate I doubt I will... which sucks. Ah well.
Now, let's see how well I can predict Road March.
Comments: Road March predictions...
As Machel put it in his post-road march interview...
It was a "dread cut-ass"...
and that it was.
Took a while to grow on me too...the road made the real impact though.
The slower pace was perfect for everyone from Tribe to Revelers...
1. Machel Montano-"Jumbie" - 388 points
2. Shurwayne Winchester - "Open The Gate" - 34
3. Patrice Roberts - "Sugar Boy" - 33
4. Patrice Roberts and Machel Montano - "Light Up The Air" - 22
5. Edwin Ayoung (Crazy) - "Cold Sweat" -17
Damn. Machel mash up.
He was definitely by favourite artist this year - as I type this I've been listening to Higher than High (+ Remix), Light it Up, One for time, Tonight and Jumbie on repeat for at least the past hour.
Jumbie is a grower though. I didn't like it the first 3-4 times I listened to it, but now it's in the top 5 for this year.
