After last winning Power Soca Monarch back in 2007 (when he promised the keys to his Lexus for anyone who defeated him), Neil “Iwer” George won the million-dollar first prize on Saturday morning (22nd February 2020) at the International Soca Monarch Finals. The competition took place at the Queen’s Park Savannah.
George, along with Kees Dieffenthaller joining him on stage, won with their collaboration “Stage Gone Bad.” Coming in second place was Devon “Lyrikal” Martin with his song “Rukshun.” Third place went to Olatunji Yearwood who sang “Thankful.”
After receiving his million-dollar cheque, George made the following comments:
Allyuh know, I have been waiting for a long time. In the history of soca and Soca Monarch, I am the only standing artiste that have been from the inception and still here. I have one of the wickedest reputations in Soca Monarch, I have the most seconds (placement) ever. What I got, I fight for it and I fight to the end it shows that Iwer is a real fighter.
George, as well as other artists, experienced technical difficulties during their performances. George in particular said his microphone was “low” but he did not allow it to hinder his performance. He is hopeful his song will win the Road March title when the winner is announced on Ash Wednesday.
