Comment: You deserve what ever time you need. You are a true king of Calypso. No one can stop that. If you had enter this year it would of been a 5th peat. We wish you all the best until you return. I wonder how this year competition is gonna be with out you. Guess I won't be going to the show this year. People put politics in everything. Damn fools. We love you King Konris!!

Comment: yea labour done give you enough crown so you could pay off you school fee so you could afford to done now, you ain even win all dem crown fairly

Comment: Well well, why does everything has to do with POLITICS? People respect the young man and maybe he is doing something so that others can get a taste of victory. I applaud him. This guy is not a politician so why are people saying its a political gimmick? Konris I don't know you personally and I am not a real calypso fan but I do have common sense and I see nothing about politics in your decision. I supported 3 of your 4 wins because clearly there was no competition. I will not say which one I didn't agree with but the judges' decision is final and we should all respect that. Lift your head up high and enjoy your well deserved rest.

Comment: To be able to compete with songs that are as high quality as King Konris', it takes alot of time and dedication. So, NO he did not have a whole year to rejuvenate. When one competition is over, it's back in the studio preparing for the next competition. Remember he writes his own songs and does everything unlike other calypsonians. You can't be the best without putting in the time!!! And to the other IDIOTS! Election gimmick me arse! It's clear, he wants to strip someone of their crown in 2010

Comment: You are the best. Take your time off, you deserve it. Its hard for your fans though because we look forward to the show because of you, but we still anticipate your release this year. People will talk, let them talk, you have proven to be undefeatable so far so you have no reason to run. I will not be attending the show this year becus u r not performing, I will go back to Warner Park for the calypso Final when u compete again. We love you the King.

Comment: Douggie you are trying all kind of dirty tricks but it will not work this the i am fed up with you the people are fed up with and the country is sick of you just bow out gracefully. Put country above self and stop being so selfish and hungry for more power get to steppin Douggie.
