By: Jermine Abel, SKNVibes.com
    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (Dec/16/17)  – SEVERAL of the early favourites to take this year’s Soca Monarch crown – Barry C and Gharlic -have been eliminated as, several surprises qualified for the final showdown.
     
    Dejour and Nikhail will lead a pack of 12 entrants into the December 22 finals, where the reigning kings, Lax and KT, along with Rucas will enter the fray.
     
    The young and versatile Dejour came out as the top performer from last night’s semi-finals, with 412 points, closely followed by Nikhail with 407.
     
    Occupying the third spot was Jazzbo with 405, while favourite Nicha B, who is being touted as one of the upstarts in the competition, came in fourth with 394.
     
    Twenty performers started the evening at Carnival Village, but only a few performances many said stood out .
     
    Also moving to the finals are Mr. Hype (393 points), Dagah (388), P. Plus (378), Lil Miss (376), Jeezy Sparta (375), Steel (375), K. Warner (374) and C-Mac (371).
     
    The reigning kings recently confirmed their entries for this year’s finals.
     
    For the 2017 Monarch competition, both the Groovy and Power segments have been merged – meaning that the reigning kings would be locking horns together.
     
    Rucas, the Groovy King, would enter this year with ‘I am headlines’ which is a Power entry.
     
    “‘I am headlines’ will be my performance piece for Soca Monarch finals on December 22. This is the song that the fans said I need to use,” he told SKNVibes Entertainment recently.
     
    Meanwhile, LAX and KT – reigning Power Kings – have entered “Chopper, an entry that speaks about elevation.
     
    “It speaks about people keeping their propeller spinning and rising to another level. And we are ready for Soca Monarch! We studied the criteria and we built our song around that, and it is going to mash the criteria,” KT told SKNVibes.
