Even with the visual overhaul, the contest went fairly normal. Except for one factoid that astounded me. For Miss America, Katie Stam, sang a CHRISTIAN SONG for her talent entry. It was a most beautiful song and she even said the word “Christ”.
Goodness, a religious Miss America! AND, get this, not only did she sing about Christ the King, the woman had the audacity to state that public figures such as Miss America contenders and sports figures have a responsibility to behave properly for the young people that admire them. How about that?
Below, a couple of video montages, one which is a compilation of talent show entries adorned with my sometimes sarcastic commentary. The other had Miss America admonishing athletes and other public role models to mind their behavior.
I like this lady.
If you scroll down on the link you can hear her say, I suppose is what the dirty word is, “Jesus”
