HD Machel Power
MACHEL the HD man
“The government will feature only 100% Bajan talent at our Crop Over national events”.
That’s what I thought I heard government say but then I am fairly slow. I should know because I went on public record as supporting this position both on this blog and on TV.(I looked beautiful on TV)
Next thing yuh know trinidian Machel Montano came down here to launch a kadooment band and superseded that statement casually dropping a remark “I will be back for cohobblopot”.
“Yeah right” Boyce said, “Obviously no one told him what the authorities had said”.
Low and behold at a press conference announcing the government was now doing cohobblopot themselves who was sitting at the head table being presented as a headliner none other than the same Machel Montano, ok then.
That’s what you call an entertainer with clout!
When I grow up I want to be like Machel.
Maybe Machel is a Bajan and we don’t know, maybe he has a Barbados passport.
Or maybe he just has power that’s what happens when you have HD.
I am going to have too go down to Trinidad and issue an edict stating I must be a headliner at one of their national shows and see what happens.
If there is true caricom reciprocation our government needs to now broker a deal where our Alison or Edwin will be a headliner at one of the Trinidadian national calypso events, I am not talking about just entering a competition I MEAN AS A HEADLINER!
Oh yeah, and they must get paid $60,000 bds dollars too which is like 2 million tt.
If during the reading of this blog there is any thing I might have written which might have incensed or offended you, GET OVER IT! There are many things I read and hear in the media on a daily basis that I don't like either. SO DEAL WITH IT! You are welcome to leave your comments though. Make sure and come back yuh hear !!!...

Hi Boyce,
I said the exact thing you sadi to yourself when I heard Machel was HEADLINING cohobblopot. I thought all the big shows were suppose to Bajan talent only, and when I read they were paying 30, 000 US$ that was a whole nother story. I live in Canada and support my bajan artists whenever they come here and when I come home for Crop Ova I go to the shows and give even more support.
I like Machel as an artist but clearly Machel plans to take over the world of calypso and he is doig a damn good job!
Depending on the line up for cohobblopot, I may think about going. I went to Euphoria last year……if there is another one this year I hope everyone goes there just to prove a point!
Love your blogs Boyce.
From your Canadian (Bajans by birth) fans!

30, 000 US$ for a man that isnt even from out native land wtf…so the other artiste aint have nothing to say about this i am guessing…well if the bajans aint got no problem with it and if the artiste aint making no noise well so let it be..
