IT’S A SONG in the key of controversy.
In the face of criticism from within the calypso fraternity for Karaoke, repeat Pic-O-De-Crop Monarch Ian iWeb Webster has defended his approach to the song, saying it was just another tactic to addressing societal concerns.
“Truth be told, how do you pen a song like Karaoke and not represent what karaoke is? Karaoke is people singing other people’s songs that have been published. That is what it is. I cannot sing a song called Karaoke and not do the thing that is associated with [it],” he told the DAILY NATION yesterday, one day after his win at Kensington Oval.
“The issues were all about what was happening in the political arena. It is just a matter of structure [having a] unique angle. But I would have been speaking to issues that would have been affecting society. Calypsonians all sing about the same thing . . . . The approach is different,” he said during an interview at the Nation’s Fontabelle, St Michael offices.
