Subject: Pageant decline Author: noname (disappointed) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:47:27 07/13/14 Sun This pageant is deteriorating more every year. The choreography, entertainers, and the contestants themselves - really bad. Last night was the worst it has ever been (in my opinion) and I saw my first Miss Mississippi pageant when Mary Ann Mobley won, so I have seen quite a few of them. The participation of the kids, plus the continual reading of scholarship winners, and the untalented entertainers totally ruins it. Can't do much about the contestants, but the other crap that is under the control of the staff could be handled a lot better. But, gotta keep the sponsors and the parents of the future contestants happy I guess, at the expense of the viewing audience. Seriously, if they want to keep the tv audience engaged, then they need to clear out the staff who are making these bad choices. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: I thought it was a gret tat pageant.... Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:26:01 07/13/14 Sun You must have been watching a different pageant. The talent was top notch with the exception of 2 of them, the swimsuit portion good, and all of the gowns classy. Entertainment and emcee was great too. Go on over to Pageant Guru and check out what they think. You'll find you are in the minority by a big margin. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Pageant decline Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:04:46 07/13/14 Sun I have a feeling you are a former staff member angry that you are no longer a part of the organization. Or perhaps you have bad taste. Either way, this pageant was great, and you are wrong. Agreed with other poster- go to the guru board and realize you're very wrong! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Pageant decline Author: No name (Totally inappropriate) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:00:24 07/13/14 Sun Whoever chose the song "shake your money maker" is totally off base for a pageant. Many many young girls look up to pageant contestants. How does one explain to these young girls what your "moneymaker" is??? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Pageant decline Author: No name (Totally Agree) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:50:10 07/14/14 Mon I could not believe the "Shake your moneymaker " song! Makes me sad that entertainment has come to this, especially when so many young formidable girls are watching with the approval of those they are to be looking up to. Can Christ be glorified in this?

[> Subject: Re: Pageant decline Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:54:20 07/13/14 Sun You are by FAR in the minority from what I have heard. Everybody sitting near me Was talking about how good the show was. I also heard that mostly volunteers do everything so why are you being so critical. I have ALSO been attending the pageant for many years and never seen people dancing in their seats like I did last night. I for one am proud for our state. You can tell a lot of work went in to it.

[> [> Subject: Re: Pageant decline Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:09:32 07/13/14 Sun agree! Some of that choreography was not appropriate for children, then there is the money maker song, & Cheeseburger in Paradise talking about a cold draft beer. How is that appropriate for kids? It's not! With all of the possibilities out there, why are we choosing songs with references to alcohol?? and why we're talking about song selection, where in the world did the Cee Lo Green song come from? He is not from Mississippi. AND, what happens when the kids go to look up that song, guess what they'll find? F**K You. That's what. That's the song our kids were singing. NOT appropriate. At all. Bad judgement. Lack of class. These are pivotal and dangerous times. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Pageant decline Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:53:59 07/13/14 Sun I agree. When it first started, it looked like I was watching an old VHS. The camera quality was TERRIBLE. I know these girls are beautiful but you absolutely could not tell. I think Mallory Graham was an ass, but he made sure the show was good. I'm not saying the people who run the production are terrible, but they need some help in the creativity department. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Pageant decline Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:16:04 07/14/14 Mon Remember when Mallory Graham had Sarah Beth dance with a bucket on her head?? Everyone hated his judgement then. Now y'all want him back? There is just no pleasing some people. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Pageant decline Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:05:54 07/22/14 Tue Oh don't get me wrong, Mallory's creativity was wearing thin in his last few years, but in his hey day he made some great productions. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Pageant decline Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:56:50 07/22/14 Tue It happened when Pat left and he had to work with other producers who told him what they wanted. They wanted to make the pageant more current. Well, you see where that got us. He was no longer in charge. Blame MMBOD. I just want to say he was the most talented showman I have ever know. Bar none!

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Pageant decline Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:14:16 09/10/14 Wed Allen Ditto became the producer and picked all the songs so the show would be current. That was a bad choice. It made the show go downhill. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: I thought this was the strongest in the last several years Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:00:39 09/11/14 Thu How do you mean strongest? What part was good and what part was not good. We you entertained? What did you think of the different sequences? I watched it on TV and it did not play well on that. It really looked very high schoolish. Will be interested to hear your non bias point of view. Thanks [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
