"beyond the carnival theme"; yes...rightfully so. Out of the box but still in the box...

Too classy for the simpletons...

I did not Know Nigerians were into Steel Band Music like that, Im happy happy to Kow this. Think Im going to make a backflip about it, hope Ii dont bust my head open.

Powerful words there...I might have to agree

Next year bro...no scene! It's a great start to Boogsie being back in TOTAL form...

Nice but the spirit of Carnival was missing

@@tobago3 Boogsie I'd allowed to do whatever he wants with his OWN tune of choice -- he is a cut beyond the rest and everyone knows...

I kind of agree with Tobago. From the prelims I've been saying the first half of the performance need some work. Some excitement but it wasnt there. Next year for sure. Continue doing your thing Boogsie!!

Um if u listen close all stars did have other songs in there tune

@@anthonyphillip394 , I never said All Stars didn't.

No age limit

I would rate music festival music higher than panorama style music any day and if this is the reason why he wont win then so be it.

When you say and original arrangement what exactly you mean cause myself as well as other persons who listen to all pan bands could tell you that each and every panorama Phase 2 pan groove is the only band that brings something different each year. The problem with judges of recent times is that they tend to judge on the excitement and not the musical artisry that the bands bring to the stage. It's in my honest opinion that Lennox Boogsie Shape is the only arranger who can go overseas in any musical show etc and represent trinidad and tobago on a strong note. After him would be bradley, and zander tbvh.

By your comments we can tell you are a renegades fan literally you hear recycled music with renegades but no one rarely days anything

You said he never orchestral complexity proves you need musical knowledge badly

​@@shaquillemcclean50 Maybe it's just a matter of personal taste then. I just hear Boogsie recycling himself; he finds the same moment to groove, he hangs onto it for a long time, he gets himself from one place in the arrangement to the next in the same way. I guess I'll turn it back to you, though. What are you hearing in Boogsie's arrangements that is new or exciting? I think he did some great work in his heyday, and Birthday Party, Misbehave, Woman is Boss are groundbreaking. But since that era, I've been waiting for something in Boogsie's music that moves me in a new way, and I'm just not getting it.

@@didakeepa Boogsie's voicings are fairly simplified, down to two or three voicings at once. I'm not as die-hard for Renegades as I used to be, but I am always die-hard for Jit, and one aspect of his music that appealed to me was that he would voice 4-5 distinct parts at once. This gets at their individual arranging styles (and this is something that might be a personal preference, and isn't a judgment of one style being better or worse than the other): Jit, from my understanding, arranged at the piano and at the score. He worked on the piece by setting the voicings first. Boogsie is more jazz than that, he comes to his arrangements through being in the panyard, through hearing the parts being played. One's naturally going to end up with more complex orchestral voicing than the other.
