Agreed Irishpipes. OCU trained singers are typically great.

ARKTTKA 09-13-2015 10:18 PM

Like Kristin Chenoweth and Kelli O'Hara both Tony winners.

irishpipes 09-13-2015 10:18 PM

Miss Texas also cannot sing well. I hate when people sing as their talent when they cannot sing.

Sister Havana 09-13-2015 10:19 PM

Miss Louisiana was good. Miss Oklahoma definitely could have used time to warm up.

I can't decide what I think of Miss Texas. I liked the beginning of the song, but then it got bad.

I think when the women feel they don't have a better talent, they default to singing because it's easier to do than learn a new skill entirely. Still don't like it!

Katmandu 09-13-2015 10:21 PM

I think Susan Powell Miss America 1981 who sang opera for talent was also OCU grad.

Katmandu 09-13-2015 10:23 PM

I want a baton twirler. Preferably with fire batons!

ARKTTKA 09-13-2015 10:24 PM

I agree Clemsongirl, and they only know 1 song that they practice day and night.

Where have all the Suzanne Sugarbakers gone???

irishpipes 09-13-2015 10:26 PM

Fire batons would be so awesome. Especially with all that hairspray.

Miss Oklahoma would not have improved with a warmup. Pitch that bad cannot be corrected. (I am a professional and teach voice.) The very loud backing vocals were an obvious attempt to aid her search for pitch and to distract from her voice. Lovely girl, just not a singer.

My pledge class sister twirls fire batons for Clemson's marching band! We should bring her out here!

Also YEAH DAJA!!

Katmandu 09-13-2015 10:28 PM

Not fond of SC's singing either... And I really do love batons!

Katmandu 09-13-2015 10:29 PM

Clemsongirl!!, thank you!!!

irishpipes 09-13-2015 10:30 PM

I am worried about Miss Mississippi's right boob. Wardrobe malfunction in 3,2,1...

clemsongirl 09-13-2015 10:31 PM

Not a fan of Miss Mississippi's violin piece. Lots of high notes on the violin don't translate well to microphones and being on air. Also sounded like she was off with the accompaniment at times.

PilotsWife 09-13-2015 10:32 PM

Thank goodness Miss GA can sing.

irishpipes 09-13-2015 10:32 PM

Miss Georgia. Wow.

1964Alum 09-13-2015 10:35 PM

The violin wasn't tuned properly, a function of having to jump right up and play. All of the notes were just under the note.

Katmandu 09-13-2015 10:35 PM

Yea. hello Miss Georgia! She won the prelim talent a couple of days ago.

ARKTTKA 09-13-2015 10:36 PM

Miss Georgia is a MusEd major at Mercer.

Sister Havana 09-13-2015 10:36 PM

Miss Georgia was very good.

1964Alum 09-13-2015 10:37 PM

Seemed to me that those whose voices aren't all that compensated with expressive faces.

Miss GA has some voice!!! I'm wondering if she plans on singing opera professionally.

misscherrypie 09-13-2015 10:37 PM

I was about to cry if Miss Georgia didn't get to sing. She really slayed, even with the change that she needed to make to the aria to make it fit the time limit.

Seriously thinking of using this as a signature!

ARKTTKA 09-13-2015 10:46 PM

My winner is Miss Colorado...

misscherrypie 09-13-2015 10:47 PM

Loved CO's answer. It was genuine and fun.

I think that GA threw it away with her answer. SC was okay.

Everyone else did a fine job.

clemsongirl 09-13-2015 10:48 PM

Loved Colorado's answer, Daja's was eh, loved Tennessee, felt terrible for whoever got the Tom Brady question because that was terrible and she clearly didn't have an answer, Alabama had a great answer and a teaser for the news cut in to the feed on the last question so I don't even know what she said!

Katmandu 09-13-2015 10:49 PM

The Tom Brady question was stupid. LOLOL at Ellen Degeneres!

gaangel5 09-13-2015 10:50 PM

Miss Georgia is from my hometown, Warner Robins. Her mom was my phyical therapist several years ago. Warner Robins would love to have another national winner. Miss America's Outstanding Teen (outgoing) is from here.

Katmandu 09-13-2015 10:51 PM

I have to say I love Danica McKellar.

clemsongirl 09-13-2015 10:54 PM

Here we go!

Sister Havana 09-13-2015 10:55 PM

Wait, so now there are going to be three left after first runner-up is named? Again, that seems cruel to the other two.

clemsongirl 09-13-2015 10:56 PM

It's like giving bids out in a public space. I don't like how their emotions are on full display on national TV. That has to be hard.

IHeartUGA 09-13-2015 10:59 PM

GEORGIA!!!!

clemsongirl 09-13-2015 10:59 PM

She was so amazing and absolutely deserved it!

irishpipes 09-13-2015 11:00 PM

So Georgia gets extra time by saying she didn't hear the question, gets the easiest/dumbest question, and wins?

I think this question does not count in the final scoring and is strictly for entertainment. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all their interviewing is done in the two days prior.

gaangel5 09-13-2015 11:01 PM

Yippee!!! My hometown girl won!

bluepink 09-13-2015 11:03 PM

I agree with you Irishpipes...don't get it!

1964Alum 09-13-2015 11:03 PM

I think they are looking for poise and confidence in answering the questions rather than the answer itself.

Pretty controversial questions this year!
