Machel in Madison Square

So I had a chance to check out Synergy's coverage of the event and it was pretty good although I thought some of the scenes were rushed because I guess they had to condense everything into an hour period. But still they could have had two episodes or something. Thankfully Peter C Lewis did not talk as much as usual during the program and he looked like he had a ball in New York.

The show from what i saw was fantastic just as everyone reported, I saw some people really dressed to impress, they all looked as if they were waiting for this kind of show for a long time. They showed Machel's rehearsals, and clips from the show itself including his performace with Shaggy, Drupatee, David Rudder and also Zan's "Heart of a Man". I didn't see Patrice Roberts perform and i'm not sure which show they covered I believe it was the first one. Mr. Walker's performance with Machel wasn't shown though

There were rave reviews given by patrons who were interviewed some who were from the West Indies and even one woman who said this was her first time hearing soca music and she loved it. Closing off the show Peter did an interview with Machel and Mr. Minshall and when asked what was next Machel said there was a possibility of them taking it over to London. So all U.K people you will get your chance soon I hope.

I'm still waiting to see B.E.T's coverage of the show as they'll have different if not more clips of what went down.
