The finalists for the Calypso Monarch Competition are now official. Eleven qualifiers have secured their spots in the grand finale, where they will challenge defending champion Helon Francis for the crown. The announcement came early Sunday morning during the lively after‑party concert.
The live stream, however, was far from smooth. Viewers endured multiple interruptions—including a complete blackout during Terri Lyons’ performance—leaving many frustrated as the results rolled out.
