My Carnival season was going so well and then came the selection of the Dimanche Gras Calypso Monarch finalists. When the judges can select Aloes, Chalkdust and Cro Cro as finalists and omit Heather Mc Intosh, Guidance and the calypso- nians who sang about Aliens and Laptop, something has to be wrong and there is a not-so-subtle signal that efforts must be made to develop an objective approach to the selection of contestants.From the selections it appears that the judges reserved most of the places for those who sang against the present political administration.
