The night itself was eventful and I would attend it again. Red Bull however needs to look closer at the hosting aspect and rules. It was entertaining from start to finish. Unfortunately Westwood's decision to scrap the previous rounds/decisions changed the tone of the event, and I traveled from Wembley to London Bridge hearing people complain about this.
Me and my crew with the Trinidad & Tobago flag in hand came out in numbers to support Major Lazer in this event. Their presentation showed that they had a strategy, appreciated fans by giving away promotional material (I cannot recall any other sound system did this), played music from several genres (Palance - Trini SOCA, Blur'Song2, Nirvana's Teen Spirit etc etc etc etc), paid attention to the rules and used skillful tactics (despite others claiming rules were broken - this was not true) and above all else they did not have to bring down anyone to rise above (they kept it professional, no under the belt and under hand tactics were used by them at all). No set of talking and talking, just music - tune after tune after tune!! To their fans, there was no presentation that genuinely competed and bringing out Usher on stage has raised the bar and set a new standard and be sure that the next clash will show sound systems attempting to top that.
Red Bull, big congratulations to you for this event!...
