Subject: All this hype about being contemporary and relatable? Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:03:23 09/14/15 Mon You can throw that garbage down the drain. How many talents in the top 10 were actually something that was contemporary and that pop culture would stamp their approval on? None of them. Georgia wins, yes her talent was phenomenal but relatable to today's generation, not hardly. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Don't you get it? It's about the personality! If Meg had done opera, she still would be more relatable and contemporary than Haley Barber and a few of the other contestants at Miss Alabama.

It's about personality in interview being modern/personable. The talent just needs to be good...period. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:15:42 09/15/15 Tue Talent has everything to do with it, that's why Gerogia won after such a terrible on stage question. Her talent just scored that much better than the rest of the 7. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: All this hype about being contemporary and relatable? Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:33:57 10/11/15 Sun I don't care about os question. If her talent was less than stellar, would have still crowned her. We finally have a beautiful and gorgeous M.A. Best beauty since Yolande Betbeze. Makes Miss USA look like a boy. As a man, I don't care if she never opens her mouth, I just want to look at her and watch her. The interest in M.A. hit rock bottom with the public because they expect M.A. to be beautiful, and they have been crowning too many average girls. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

SMH What I meant was: talent needs to be good. It has NOTHING to do with being contemporary or modern. Personality and interview is what has to be modern. It's so sad I have to type this out word-for-word for you. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: All this hype about being contemporary and relatable? Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:46:17 09/15/15 Tue Talent apparently has nothing to do with anything. Colorado did a monologue and got in top 10. Explain that one! Obviously, interview wins the crown. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: All this hype about being contemporary and relatable? Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:59:59 09/15/15 Tue You must have both as Colorado did not win. It helped that she is a nurse, tall and gorgeous. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: All this hype about being contemporary and relatable? Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:21:10 10/11/15 Sun She is not gorgeous; very ugly, plain, and Jodie Foster looking. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: All this hype about being contemporary and relatable? Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:49:57 10/11/15 Sun I'm sick of hearing about "modern and relatable". That's just more hype from the Miss America Pageant. History repeats itself, what once was "modern and relatable" is no longer "modern and relatable," but give it 10 or 15 years and it will be considered "modern and relatable" again. Same is true with fashion - the stuff that's "modern and relatable" now is just copycat crap gone to the extreme that once was "modern and relatable" in the past. Hype, hype, hype, hype, hype.

Author: Some of you are not thinking Clearly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:33:30 10/13/15 Tue Opera is regarded as a trained, skill, art and expression of music... NO SOLO CUP REQUIRED.... Her talent was "OPERA" not a vocal performance.... We have a very talented Miss America.. the FACEBOOK post of her singing LET IT GO with the little girl with downs was just GORGEOUS and touching.... She wasn't my winner as I watched the telecast but I certainly understand her crowning now.... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
