Bush judges, are you ready? Whether you plan to celebrate your picks or grumble about who gets cheated, we’ll be monitoring the PPV feed—and yes, the viewing fee is a very reasonable US $14.95.

The Kaiso fraternity is gearing up for one of the season’s most anticipated cultural showdowns. From seasoned veterans to rising voices, this year’s semifinalists promise lyrical fire, melodic mastery, and pure Trinbago commentary.
