I agree. It looks much cooler when there is a group of people participating in something like that. Part of me wonders if she added the cup because she wasn't as strong in the vocal department. Perhaps she should have picked another song to highlight her voice.

One thing I will say is that I was thrilled to hear all 5 young ladies receive equally difficult questions during that round. I appreciate that they took the feedback into account this year. Maybe they can be slightly more transparent about percentages/preliminary interviews? To those who participated or follow pageants closely we have an understanding of those things, but to the novice watcher, they think a young lady won with a red solo cup routine. I think it would help highlight those who may be better overall performers. They used to post the scores on the screen at one point didn't they?
