Yes. Please.

Lordy, Lordy. Perhaps some of the singers should have opted for a Dramatic Reading.

Someone did ventriloquism a couple years ago!

Hmmm...I am underwhelmed by the singers...totally. Singing anything from Les Mis has to be the ultimate pageant cliche. One of my friends is a Miss America volunteer and I texted that to her. No reply :rolleyes:

Bollywood and Ballet were the best two. Don't care for Irish dancing, but she did a good job.

Miss Texas looked fabulous in that red dress... the singing was regrettable.

I hatged the swim suit competition because of the camera work. He kept zooming in on their bums :( Not necessary.

I remember when Miss Michigan did hula dancing many years ago. I actually groaned when they announced this as her talent, because I thought that was it. Kaye Lani Rae Rafko won Miss America that year, though...so it worked!

I would be super intimidated if I had to play violin in front of Joshua Bell.

Is this good.... or screechy? Or good and screechy?

She was better than the last couple singers. Miss Oklahoma was the best singer - not even close.

Miss Florida twirling batons was wayyy better than four of the singers.

The show doesn't even start until 9 PM for me! I guess I'll have to stop reading this thread for awhile...

I really thought Miss Oklahoma did a great job, but I'm biased. :) I haven't been a fan of the other singers. LOVED Miss California, her arms were just amazing. (That sounds like a really weird compliment.)

Favorite talents:
Minnesota
Oklahoma
Florida
California
I liked Kansas - I'm not a singer, but I thought she sounded great
I thought New York very entertaining, but I don't know how to judge it

Painful:
Georgia
Texas
Maryland

I think Miss OK will do well. Miss FL will have the sympathy factor.

The first question is about Miley Cyrus and twerking. Why am I not surprised?
