quien pone los jurados los saca citas
I was in Las Vegas that night and from Michigan..Awesome!
I think the crown is too small for such a big pageant.
I was certain Indiana would win this one easily. Very memorable. I'm trying to figure out what was so unique and extra special about Miss Michigan…..?
Kirsten is so beautiful with great poise. She is the best white Miss America we've had.
How is it disgusting? These women are confident enough to go in front of millions and strut their stuff, share their thoughts, and preform their talents to win. They also raise money for tons of charities and pay for their college tuition. Just because you would probably be too scared to do that, doesn't mean you should degrade them. Its not like they are forced either. They CHOSE to do that, and love it. God bless them.
That's actually the Miss USA pageant, a completely different system! Miss America is 100% Scholarship! 🙂
@BBblue87 I am currently attending Ball State University and am competing for the title of Miss Indiana this week. The scholarships are to help pay for schooling and student loans.
What I don't understand is what they're getting scholarships for? How old are they? Shouldn't they have already been to college? x
Leah Masee was my 6th grade teacher's daughter 😛
misss michgan yay
@hotwater10 she deserved it 🙂
she's beautiful!
Y always blonde…
The disco version of "O There She Is" is absurd. They need to return to the original arrangement and find a male entertainer who is relevant with a great voice to sing it with purpose the way Burt Parks did. I am just so frustrated with the MAO. They just can't get it right. The need to hire a top New York PR firm to fix their brand. I would like to see Miss America return to the old format and move to Fox TV.
@flowerheads27 I don't think people want to trash pageants, the American public watches Miss USA every year and the numbers are very high. People have become disloyal to Miss America because the product is different each year and for the worst and not the better. This pageant was know for beautiful hair, makeup and clothes on very poised beautiful women. Now they all wear pony tails and little makeup. I can turn to espn and watch that with beach volleyball.
Miss USA represents the country at Miss Universe
kristen haglund went to my high school 😀
wow! even the runner-ups get an amazing amount of money!
The Miss America competition is not a beauty pageant, it is a scholarship competition. Holding the title of Miss America is not just about the crown and the sash; it's a job. In order to be a Miss America contestant, one must be beautiful as well as have a good personality, be intelligent, and have confidence. It takes a lot more than appearance to even enter into a pageant.
what about a Miss Issippi ? why no body talk…
Thank you, I thought Miss USA elect a lady for Miss Universe and Miss America for Miss World … (mistake)
Miss America is more of a scholarship program, where they have to have "platforms", volunteer, have a talent portion of the contest, etc. Miss USA is purely a beauty pageant; they don't need to have a talent or volunteer, or have gone to college, etc…
What's the difference beetween Miss USA and Miss America ???
OOmg I fell asleep watching this.. even American Idol is better, and that's sad..
that's how they've been doing it in miss america for sometime now.
I love pageants but I see why Miss America continues to fall off….They tried changing it up and everything and what did they do? They chose a carbon copy of Miss America 2007. Some of the girls who were cut after swimsuit were unique and not the normal Miss America look and they got chopped. I'll prob watch it this sat if I dont forget but Im not expecting much
There is no talent competition for Miss USA. Miss USA also goes on to compete for Miss Universe. Miss USA is the sister pageant to Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe. The three title holders live together in an apartment in New York City.
no. she is attending college here in North Carolina. she was Miss NC and Miss Johnston County. she recently crowned the current Miss NC Amanda Watson.
