Two former monarchs in Kaiso final; Sugar Aloes didn't make the cut

Two former calypso monarchs have been included in the finals of the 2013 competition that will take place in Port of Spain on Thursday. They are Dr. Hollis “Chalkdust” Liverpool and Karene Asche.

The other contestants who will challenge defending monarch Dwayne O’Conner are: 

1. Eunice Peters, 
2. Alana Sinnette
3. Heather MacIntosh
4. Kizzie Ruiz, Marvah "Marvellous Marva" Joseph
5. Victoria "Queen Victoria" Cooper
6. Eric "Pink Panther" Taylor
7. Kurt Allen
8. Roderick "Mr Chucky" Gordon

Michael “Sugar Aloes” Osuana didn't make the cut. He was abused by patrons at Saturday's semi finals, apparently because he switched his political support from the People's National Movement (PNM) to the governing People's Partnership (PP).

His work in the past had been very supportive of the PNM but in May last he year he first appeared on a PP stage, serenading the Prime Minister with the popular son, "She's Royal".
