In 2009 the idea to have a Celebrity Commentary Panel was conceived and the Foundation immediately coordinated and executed the idea.

The celebrity commentary panel is chosen by the Board of Directors to view the International Soca Monarch Competition live on Fantastic Friday. The panel is made up of local and international celebrities alike and the medley of personalities allow for a unique blend of commentary and camaraderie on the night of the show, as they entertain and inform the viewers at home.

The International Soca Monarch 2009 was proud to have on the panel panel Chris Tucker, Danny Glover, Wendy Fitzwilliam, Ato Boldon, and Ronnie McIntosh.

And in 2010 the viewers of the International Soca Monarch had the pleasure of witnessing the magnificent point of views of Delroy Lindo, Brian Lara, and Darren Ganga.

The year 2011 viewers had the pleasure of being entertained by Idris Elba, Hosea Chanchez, Wendy Raquel-Robinson, Giselle LaRonde-West, Peter Elias and Robert Amar.

For 2012 to grace our shores just to participate in this momentous occasion and charismatically captivate viewers we give you Terrence J, Lance Gross, Wendy Fitzwilliam, O'brian Haynes and Dr. The Hon. Rupert Griffith, Minister of Tourism.
