Video May not be up for long.... |
If I weren't living overseas, I totally would have been watching all of this alongside you all last night. But, I missed all the fun.
Thetalady - THANK YOU for posting that video. Oh My God. Why on earth didn't she just sing??
I love me the Miss America organization, and I competed in it for a number of years, but the women who do well are those who are polished in all areas, so you wind up with a lot of meh talents in the end every single year. It's kind of frustrating because that's the obvious differentiation between Miss America and Miss USA, and that portion always looks kind of silly.
On a more positive note, I didn't see anything here about this announcement that I think is about 30 years overdue:
DICK CLARK PRODUCTIONS AND
THE MISS AMERICA ORGANIZATION
JOIN FORCES ON THE WORLD-RENOWNED MISS AMERICA COMPETITION IN 2015
Supposedly this will mean a lot more media exposure for Miss America at dcp-produced events like the "American Music Awards," "Golden Globe Awards," "Academy of Country Music Awards," "Billboard Music Awards," and "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest."
