Miss Colorado's talent was mocked by Joy Behar on the View. It went viral and now the View is getting roundly mocked and scorned on social media.

I remember one year a contestant did a ventriloquist act for her talent.
Were you thinking of Paige Phillips, Miss Alabama 1981? Her routine was corny as hell, but she killed it from a technical standpoint. She got something like a 5-minute ovation. Locally everybody thought she was a shoo-in, but she ended up first runner-up.

There's a video of this on Youtube somewhere--I watched it a while back. I'm generally not super-impressed by ventriloquist acts, but she was legitimately amazing. She did voices for both her dolls, they had entirely distinct voices from each other--while singing!--and you couldn't see her lips moving at all. I think she actually works at least part-time as a ventriloquist now, or at least did for many years. It's ridiculous good.

Yeah, that's what got me thinking about it. It just seems so silly that some of these women are so talented in so many ways, and yet the pageant definition of "talent" remains pretty narrow. I remember watching a Miss Wisconsin who was a doctor at the age of 22, who ended up playing a violin solo for her talent (and was surprisingly good at it). She was a 22-year-old doctor, isn't that enough talent? Haha.

Jayne Ann Jayroe, Miss Oklahoma, in 1966 conducted the miss America orchestra, sang and danced. Although this was regarded as a stunt and later conducting was "disallowed" as a talent, the reality is she was actually trained as a conductor, aspired to be a conductor, but lived in an era in which maestros were males. She rocked. I loved her.

Another ventriloquist first runner-up was Miss Louisiana 1987 Patricia Brandt. Ventriloquist Miss Arkansas 2011, Alyse Eady, also placed first runner-up.

And of course if your memory goes back to The Age of the Beatles (not quite dinosaurs) Vonda Kay Van Dyke Miss America 1965 from Arizona also performed ventriloquism as her talent; so far she is the only ventriloquist to WIN the Miss America crown.

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.

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!

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

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.
