SII Group 3
NM-She did a decent job answering her question, although I wasn’t quite sure what her platform was. She didn’t stand out in the group.
IL-cultural representation in music. I felt she was very convincing, spoke eloquently about needing more representation in music, and also spoke about her mother’s experiences not being able to compete in the MAO as she wanted to do. Very down-to-earth and you really were drawn to what she said. Well done.
IN-Triple A Project. I am not sure too much details about her platform, but she spoke with confidence. I said this before about other speakers but I think you need to assume that nobody knows about your platform and you need to explain it to the audience, regardless of how you sound. But she did sound confident.
ME-I just love her! Her platform is called Shake Your Beauty and she told a story about wearing a blazer to school as a 14-year-old and being shamed for it. She was lighthearted yet effective about how it affected her and related it to her as an adult. So relatable and she drew me in. I would want to get to know more about her, I hope against hope that we do.
AL-Arts For All, a bit pageanty and rehearsed in her answer, but good overall. She is showing off those good AL interview skills.
VA-4As Autism Awareness. She did a nice job of articulating herself, telling her family story. I think she did a nice job.
CO-Healthy Lungs Healthy Life. She spoke very eloquently about her grandfather and his lung cancer, likened her platform to wanting lung health for everyone. I thought she did a very good job with it, very well done.
NJ-Stop The Traffic regarding human trafficking. She gave some very informative information, including common places where you might be finding victims and how to spot them using a hand signal. I must say that I learned something very practical from her and you never know where it might help someone. Well done.
Talent Group 3
RI-Monologue from On The Basis of Sex. I thought she did a good job with it, well-spoken with good emotion behind it. 6
VT-Sang I’m Still Standing. She is a very lovely girl but wow, it was sooo off key. It was in the Kristi Glakas category. Any hope I had for her of breaking the cut was put away by that performance. I hate to say it, but it was in the 2-3 category.
OK-Dueling Banjos/flute performance. It was the same that she performed at Miss Oklahoma. It wasn’t anything that would blow you away but it was solid enough and entertaining. 6
KY-Clogging to Banjo Fantasy. I mentioned it as she was performing it live. It wasn’t up to the level as Tawyna Mullins, but the judges probably have no idea who Tawnya Mullins is. On its own merit, it was entertaining. I would give it a 5.5 to 6.
TN-Sang What I Did For Love. It was an okay performance, although her gown was very pretty, and she looks great onstage. 5
MN-She did a martial arts dance. Truthfully, I know very little about martial arts and dancing combined, so I was judging it on what I saw. It was energetic, and she seemed to demonstrate a lot of skill. Cobra Kai is popular right now and I think it is neat that we see trendy things in competition, although for her this is a discipline for her that seemed to start well before the show. I gave it a 7 based on what I had seen.
WI-I went back and watched this. My initial thought, which I wrote down, is that it seemed too fast and didn’t keep up with the tempo, but best so far. I can see why she won, it did seem technical and that she clearly is talented at playing. I gave it a 7 just because it seemed off to me, but I am not a judge there.
TX-On My Own. She was definitely in her form last night in talent. It was a strong, solid performance. I gave it an 8. She used the same costume as at Miss TX.
GA-I Didn’t Know My Own Strength. This probably would have been my pick for the win if I was judging. It was a powerful, emotional performance and really resonated with the audience. I am guessing it had to be close with WI. I know some people always make the argument the judges are favoring one contestant, etc. Hard to make that argument when she won SII the night before so I do not think it was that. She already has an award and she is firmly in my top 10. But it was still very good. I would have given in a 9 based on emotion and performance. She really drew you in.
Red Carpet Group 3
NM-Very nice in a yellow spaghetti strap gown. Her answer was good as well. Not the standout in this group, but nice overall.
IL-very nice in gown, nice presence onstage. Her answer was good, she seemed very genuine. Nice overall.
IN-very pretty darker blue evening gown with sequined/beaded halter top, nice presentation. Her answer was a bit hesitant in places, I didn’t think she answered as good extemporaneously as she did in SII, but nice presentation overall.
ME-her presentation and answer to her question were just “okay” nothing that stood out in the group.
AL-gown presentation was nice as you would expect with a Miss AL. Her answer was a bit rehearsed, but I thought it was good. One of the better combinations in this group.
VA-probably the best combo in this group. She had a pinkish-red dress and she had a very nice presentation. Also, she had a strong answer to her question.
CO-nice gown presentation, her answer sounded very logical except towards the end a bit. Overall, very nice.
NJ-Gown was very pretty. I mentioned this last night, but she was asked about immigration and the situation at the border. It seemed like they saved the toughest question for last, nobody else was asked about anything that controversial. She answered well, I thought. She said very humbly that she did not have the answers, and she is probably right. She mentioned that they needed to get good people to figure it out, and I also agreed with that. At the end she kind of rambled about it being dangerous but overall, I think it was a great answer.
And there you have it! There is every contestant, ran down. I will post my overall impressions and then do an official prediction post.
