[> Subject: Talent judges are new for tonight. They are Lori Ann Gibson, Charles CJ Cook, Wesley Watley, Jess Val Ortiz. They do have some excellent experience. I think these judges are well qualified. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:52:48 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: Idaho just played Fantasie Impromptu and then did a basketball routine. Interesting choice of talent. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:54:42 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: DE-tap, MO-tap, she had good energy and maintained it througout the song, UT-piano, KY-vocal, UT-jazz,CA-HERstory, PA-clarinet. So far nobody has been overwhelming, UT probably best on piano Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:09:59 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: NY-modern dance, ME-aerial act, WY-HERstory, MS-dance, RI-vocal, WV-HERStory In this group I'd have to give it to Maine, it wasn't AGT quality but decent and original. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:23:42 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: ND-vocal, MA-probably sank her chances by playing Beat It, she was an excellent classic pianist and is off with background music, this is really a shame. SC-HERStory, probably the best one so far, OH-piano. These hostesses are VERY unpolished. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:33:59 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally!

[> [> [> Subject: Ha! I just watched that last week and was wondering why it sounded familiar. It definitely sounded familiar to me. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:28:08 01/11/24 Thu

[> Subject: OR-violin, DC-opera, LA-jazz, SD-vocal, There is a problem right now, people can be heard talking, the hostesses just ASKED the contestant who she was. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:45:46 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> [> Subject: Oregon was a risk taker - same song as Grace won a prelim with last year. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:18:59 01/11/24 Thu

[> [> [> Subject: She did a nice job with it, I thought. It was entertaining and she had a lot of good energy. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:48:47 01/11/24 Thu

[> Subject: Should add that DC was good in opera and LA good dancer. KS now, she is an energetic tap dancer. There is confusion about NC and her talent, they just ASKED what she was performing. This is PATHETIC. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:48:00 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: NC-opera, best talent of the night so far and she handled the confusion very well, she would be one of the talent winners if this holds up, OK-vocal, IA-vocal, NE-contemporary dance, MN-Latin dance, FL-opera, also good Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:58:29 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: AZ-I really like this, hard to take on Celine Dion Because You Loved Me but she did a very nice performance, MD-dance, IN-vocal, WI-piano exactly the kind I was hoping for. She and NC are my top 2 talents of the night so far. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:08:35 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: One of the "Marilyns" called Chopin "choppin" and then goes on to poke fun at herself and joke about it, she still didn't pronounce it correctly. Then she joked about getting fired. How can you be around pageantry and not know that? Then they joked some more. Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:10:37 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: CO-if you are going to do HERstory do it like she does, very good presentation with music, props, VA-ballet, IL-flag routine, MT-vocal was very good to Wishing You Were Somehow Here, AK-singer/songwriter, NH-vocal, MI-speed painting Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:26:33 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: GA-lyrical dance, NM-vocal, NV-fiddle, CT-dance, VT-vocal, HI-supposed to be a poetry recitation but it is more like a monologue, AL-vocal very nice When You Believe Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:39:53 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: AR-very entertaining tap, this is the type that could win if the judges find it entertaining enough, TN-jazz dance, NJ-vocal and she looks like Leanza when she has her hair back and sings, also a very nice performance. TX-rhythm gymnastics Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:47:34 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: And FINALLY that's it! My top 2 were North Carolina, who was in her own universe, and Wisconsin. I hope for these two but you never know. Some of the other better talents of the nights were Alabama, Arkansas was very entertaining, Nebraska a beautiful dancer, New Jersey sang a heartfelt rendition of Over The Rainbow, Florida was a good opera singer. I could see an outside chance of Arizona or Montana winning; it would be a surprise but I have seen talents that resonate with the judges and have won at the state level. If a HERstory wins it would be Colorado, she really was fantastic. THAT'S how you do a monologue! Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:52:50 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: WINNERS: NC!, ME!, and MI! The third is a surprise, I forgot to mention Maine but I am totally on board with her win. She is also the first openly gay woman to win a preliminary award at Miss America, congratulations! Author: Owner/Moderator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:57:30 01/11/24 Thu >Here we go finally! Morgan Greco is singing the >National Anthem.

[> Subject: I should add-Michigan is really damned cute and the judges tend to go for entertaining as of late. I have seen comparable talents at the state level win preliminairies, I had a lot of others above her but you never know. It could have gone a lot of different ways.
