Alison Hinds is the queen of Soca for a reason. The Bajan beauty is a real diva and star on the stage. Her performance is energetic and fun. After sitting through so-so opening acts, the crowd was very unenthusiastic and growing miserable by the time the Queen hit the stage. Within about 5 seconds of walking out, the mood changed. She gave the crowd a hearty welcome and did a roll call by each country. The crowd ate up every word she had to say and fed off her energy.
Not only did her vocals sound great but she danced great. Anyone who has ever tried singing while dancing knows it is not an easy task. As a bonus she was very funny while on stage. Between songs she interacted with the crowd, told short stories and joke before jumping into her next tune. When the other artists that performed before her paused to talk, the rowdy crowd became unruly and aggressive. When Alison paused to tell a joke or story, everyone wanted to hear it. There wasn’t a boring moment in her performance. She even invited people to the stage to dance with her.
When it seems the concert couldn't be any better she performed "Roll It". The Queen of Soca is well worth the price of admission.
