Ter­ri Lyons is the Ca­lyp­so Monarch!

The so­ca princess se­cured the crown, be­com­ing on­ly the fifth woman to win the ti­tle, and walk away with the $700,000 first prize.

But his­to­ry was al­so cre­at­ed, as Lyons along with Karene As­che and Heather McIn­tosh be­came the first women to sweep the top three spots of the cov­et­ed com­pe­ti­tion.

Lyons was a fan favourite through­out the show and se­cured the loud­est sus­tained ap­plause of the night af­ter her per­for­mance of “Mea­gan My Dear” her sec­ond song of the night.

In a show where eight of the 12 fi­nal­ists were for­mer Ca­lyp­so Mon­archs them­selves, Ly­on’s win is all the sweet­er.

Last year’s de­fend­ing monarch Ronal­do Lon­don end­ed up at the bot­tom of the re­sults list.

Bri­an Lon­don was the first to wake up the crowd with his song “Boo, Shame on You”.

Karene As­che, who came sec­ond was an­oth­er fan favourite, and “The Mighty Chalk­dust” al­so named Hol­lis Liv­er­pool were strong con­tenders for the af­fec­tions of their au­di­ence.

Lyons who has made her name in so­ca has been cre­at­ing a buzz in the Ca­lyp­so are­na.

De­fend­ing cham­pi­on Ronal­do Lon­don ap­peared to end his sec­ond se­lec­tion sud­den­ly, and so­cial me­dia didn’t ap­pre­ci­ate what some re­ferred to as the “racist” un­der­tones in “Wel­come to Chi­na­town” by So­nia Fran­cis; “Singing So­nia.” The ca­lyp­son­ian wore “geisha” make-up and sang with an af­fect­ed ac­cent.
