thetalady, thanks so much for the link. Greatly underwhelmed with her talent. The cup thingy can be really cool, such as here:

but "solo" (see what I did there?) it's meh.

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?

For those who didn't see Pitch Perfect, the "Cup Song" is from that. Here's a very short clip from it: Pitch Perfection Audition.

Here's the song in its whole: When I'm Gone.


I honestly didn't hate New York's talent, because some of the more different talent performances seem to catch the judges' interest over the years, but I wasn't exactly in love with any of them.

I didn't find any of the questions answered with profundity, either, so those Prelims must have really rocked!

I didn't see it mentioned in a previous post, but Miss New York is an Alpha Phi from Hofstra: http://missny.org/presskit/

Although she lists it in her bio, Alpha Phi HQ confirms she is no longer a current member.

In all fairness, she doesn't list herself as an active member, just that she was their New Member Coordinator. I agree that listing that position sounds misleading, though.
