Miss Kansas did terrific. She herself remarked that she had an advantage in the popularity contest. Then she held her own in the swim suit and evening gown. The talent portion of the contest was awesome. Miss Kansas was impressive for just picking up Nessum Dorma from youtube. I’ll tell you something, if I’m in a plane and the pilot suddenly keeled over and died, I think that girl could take over and land the thing after scanning the manual. But, by saying impressive, I’m not saying her singing was good enough to win. I was most surprised by Miss Florida. I thought, baton twirling, you’ve got to be kidding. But, in my opinion, I think she won the talent portion. Talk about throw back. In the balancing of looks versus talent, Miss California, a super smart Chinese American, was very strong in performance. Very strong. But, in my opinion, Miss New York, the Indian American, edged her out because she was the prettier of the two and very strong in grace and charm, and also had some of the prettiest clothes. I thought Miss Texas was pretty enough and I was hopeful for her rendition of Fever, but it was kind of flat. Miss Georgia was a classic America, and there was nothing wrong with her talent, except the competition was better.
I thought I’d see more pics on this thread.
Oh well.
