There is no question in my mind that Stalin is the best calysonian performer I have ever seen. He has a great command of the stage and audience. He floats across the entire stage

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 MY FAVOURITE STALIN PERFORMANCE DRAPE IN RED HOT GARMENT BLAZING FIRE WITH **BURN DEM**. ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN CLASSIC KAISO....WICKED INTERVIEW. 🌠🌌🌠🌌🌠🌌🌠🌌🌠🌌🌠
This video is more important than ever before - a true treasure with the Black Stalin's passing. Do you happen to have a clean recording of Stalin's "Bun Dem" at the 1987 Dimanche Gras? If so, can you please post it?
Thank you for your comments. The entire Dimanche Gras performance is neld by ttt (Trinidad and Tobago Televisiom). when I did the show I used what i needed but I do not have access to the total recording.
Calypso Monarch 1987 - Does anyone know what the points difference was between 1st & 2nd place that night? The reason I asked, both singers had very strong songs and they both sang a pan song. I'd like to get an idea of what the judges' mideset was. Although I do know David Rudder had the flu that night and was unable to sing to the levels that he would have liked, so his delivery was not 100%. Whereas, Black Stalin's delivery was very energetic and probably his best Monarch night performance of his 5 victories.
I was privy to the scores both of 1986 when Rudder won and 1987 when Stalin won. You might find this hard to believe but both of them won after their first round songs were performed . Their second songs were just :icing on the cake". After the first rounds they were clear winners by a wide margin.
I should have responded before. The year before when David won it was the same with it appearing to be very close. However I was privileged to see the scores and in both cases each time the winner literally ran away with the crown after the first round performance. The second round did little to change the order.
