Stay focused on what you can control, let everything else go. You can only control what you put in front of the judges, you can't control if someone botches their interview, forgets part of their talent, or trips. Stay focused on what you can control.

I'm reluctant to post pictures because even if the children's parents gave permission for their pictures to go up on Facebook, they didn't consent to have them on here, so I'd rather not put them up on the board :) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Thanks for the heads up! Lots of great headshots this year! (NT) -- ahbma, 13:11:33 04/19/13 Fri (c-24-131-185-254.hsd1.mn.comcast.net/24.131.185.254) Just for fun, what do you all think is the ONE most important criteria that trumps all other in the competition and why? Articulate speaker, charisma, talent, beauty, accomplishments, physical fitness, style, academics, or other characteristic? Or if you prefer, how would you rank in order the criteria that judges are looking for! (NT) -- Slow day these days in voy land!, 20:52:56 04/19/13 Fri (NoHost/70.40.46.235) I think being well-rounded and likeable/relatable is most important. I don't think you need to be the best of every category, but if you are good in every category and have a great personality to boot, can carry on an intelligent conversation and can relate to all types of people, you will have the best chances of winning. (NT) -- my thoughts, 12:26:12 04/20/13 Sat (174-25-200-244.rstr.qwest.net/174.25.200.244) interview; talent; charisma (NT) -- fan, 08:29:14 04/22/13 Mon (66-87-145-57.pools.spcsdns.net/66.87.145.57) Interview-articulate speaker with charisma! They are all uniquely attractive in their own way. Accomplishments are a gauge that might attract sponsors as well lend/add to visibility and credibility of the program. Which because of misunderstanding of the general publics perception of pageants would be valuable.

I would love this, too. I unfortunately didn't make it to any locals this year (!!) and would love to hear some honest feedback on some of the contestants, especially the new ladies :) (NT) -- ahbma, 07:05:16 03/08/13 Fri (c-71-63-226-59.hsd1.mn.comcast.net/71.63.226.59) We all have a picture of what We want or believe our Miss Minnesota (s) should represent . What are the characteristics/talents/abilities that you (voy fans) want to see in young women who are selected to be Miss Minnesota? (NT) -- Just adding another dimension on this post as well. :), 10:46:01 03/08/13 Fri (NoHost/70.40.46.235) I think our past Misses Minnesota have been great representatives. I look for someone with academic achievements, a strong talent, a good sense of style, and a real passion for community service and their platform. I look for someone with that "it factor," who can connect with different people in a genuine way. And, of course, it's great if they appear to be competitive at Miss America, which I think requires someone really well-rounded, a great speaker, and with a special spark! (NT) -- ahbma, 13:36:48 03/08/13 Fri (c-71-63-226-59.hsd1.mn.comcast.net/71.63.226.59) Our current and previous Miss Mns (from the ones I have known) have fit this profile quite well and still bring their own unique personalities to the role of Miss MN. Your description is great, who do you all think best would fit this description from our current local titleholders?! (NT) -- Just having fun speculating!, 14:49:24 03/08/13 Fri (akrmspsrvz2ts323-dmz.mycingular.net/198.228.228.165) I want to say I think this is a tough year, and I don't know if I've ever liked a group so much. I think as far as my description goes, Rebecca and Emily are my favorites (both well-spoken, lots of appearances, great scholastic records, strong talents, very fashionable - and they both have that spark!), though I think we're going to get a fantastic Miss Minnesota regardless of the winner. I really think it's a very strong class. I can't even pick a top 5. I think I have a top 10...maybe :) (NT) -- ahbma, 15:01:08 03/08/13 Fri (c-71-63-226-59.hsd1.mn.comcast.net/71.63.226.59) Ugh, "regardless of the winner" is so wrong, haha. I meant we'll get a fantastic Miss Minnesota no matter who wins! (Clearly the coffee hasn't helped much today - yikes) (NT) -- ahbma, 15:01:59 03/08/13 Fri (c-71-63-226-59.hsd1.mn.comcast.net/71.63.226.59) With the current MA in mind, should states be looking for a different type of titleholder and are there any MN contestants that reflect the image that the current MA reflects? (NT) -- Fan, 14:27:38 03/08/13 Fri (akrmspsrvz2ts101-dmz.mycingular.net/198.228.228.143) The dark horses, as I see them online are, Gabrielle Chavers-Miss Mankato. She is beautiful and just has "the look." My second dark horse is Kayla Brown-Miss Northern Lakes. Her credentials are impressive. Courtney Igbo-Ogbonna is just about unstoppable in the interview department. You cannot be coached for what this girl has naturally. She's beyond sincere and dynamic. Her talent is entertaining. Weakness: swimsuit. (NT) -- fan, 21:04:54 03/08/13 Fri (24-179-157-173.dhcp.stcd.mn.charter.com/24.179.157.173) Rebecca Yeh seems like the girl to beat after last year's 1RU placement. Her talent is a show stopper, but we have had show stoppers go to MA and only win MFT. Her weakness is her reserved nature which I believe is part of her heritage. Emily Kallis and Lauren Johnson are strong contenders but have almost exactly the same mannerisms and look. Both wonderful girls but I don't see them as standouts at MA. (NT) -- fan, 21:14:02 03/08/13 Fri (24-179-157-173.dhcp.stcd.mn.charter.com/24.179.157.173) Tiffany Busta has it all wrapped up in the likability department. I imagine her paperwork is stellar as is her volunteer work. Weakness: swimsuit I like the look of Bailey Sorvig, Miss Thief River Falls. I think she will be surprisingly good. Samantha Phillippi is consistent in all areas. She will be bringing a deeper emotional connection to her platform this year. She has the personality and stamina to do well at MA. Weakness: Needs to regain her sparkle (NT) -- fan, 21:23:56 03/08/13 Fri (24-179-157-173.dhcp.stcd.mn.charter.com/24.179.157.173) Tiffany has really come out of her shell this year. I can tell she has been working on her fitness, but that will be her weak point. Would love to see her in top 10/5 (NT) -- former miss somebody, 16:34:03 03/09/13 Sat (c-24-245-12-16.hsd1.mn.comcast.net/24.245.12.16) Adding in Rachel L.-Miss Midwest. She is a world travelor , a teacher and is beautiful. She brings many qualities to the competition.

A one stop website with complete bios on all. Maybe a tab on the Miss Minnesota website which featured the contestants and their credentials. This would give the general public a place to see what the program offers and the accomplished young women it attracts. (NT) -- MN fan, 11:06:21 03/10/13 Sun (hshost4-74.lakesnet.com/205.241.134.74) I would love love love to see a single page on the website with a photo & blurb about all the local titleholders. The way it's currently set up, it's a bit awkward to learn about them all. (NT) -- ., 14:07:22 03/10/13 Sun (74-42-133-54.dr02.apvy.mn.frontiernet.net/74.42.133.54) something about the titleholders, would be fun to see something so we can select our favorites. Right now Rebecca is my favorite. I have heard she is now very fit and working with a coach to tie up anything that wasn't the best last year. Same thing Siri did last year. Her talent is stellar and with all this in place I think she will be out next Miss Minnesota. (NT) -- fan ofpageants, 14:32:04 03/25/13 Mon (c-24-118-81-20.hsd1.mn.comcast.net/24.118.81.20) Info on each of the 'Miss' contestants is right on the home page of the Miss MN website. They are each listed on the left margin that says "Statewide Representatives." You can read about each contestant there. Some don't have profiles and I am guessing it's because the local pageant or the titleholder has not provided her information to the webmaster. (NT) -- fan, 14:30:10 03/10/13 Sun (c-24-118-0-252.hsd1.mn.comcast.net/24.118.0.252) Yes, I understand that. But the website doesn't list how good these girls are at what they do. I want to know how good they are in each category of competition. Essentially, how do their talents rank based on difficulty/ technique/ entertainment, and like wise for the other competition categories. (NT) -- fan, 11:34:11 03/11/13 Mon (NoHost/72.166.95.2) Talent can be looked at in a variety of ways. The most skilled performer is not necessarily the most entertaining. IMO as an audience member at a pageant I would much rather be entertained. Last year, I think Rebecca did both. If trying to decide between a serious, thought provoking performance or a fun, uplifting one, I'd 9/10 times go with the fun one and sell it! (NT) -- ,, 21:35:52 03/11/13 Mon (24-179-157-173.dhcp.stcd.mn.charter.com/24.179.157.173) I have seen "fun and entertaining" performances where I was very embarrassed for the contestant. Whether a performance moves me to tears or is spunky and light hearted, a "talent" without skill, expertise and technique is painful to watch. It makes the program a joke in people's mind. (NT) -- IMHO, 18:21:35 03/25/13 Mon (akrmspsrvz2ts331-dmz.mycingular.net/198.228.228.173) Curious to know whose talent you may be referring to who was "fun and "entertaining" but for whom you felt "embarrassed." Any examples?? (NT) -- Interested..., 21:28:50 03/26/13 Tue (173-25-35-141.client.mchsi.com/173.25.35.141) Re: I have seen "fun and entertaining" performances where I was very embarrassed for the contestant.

They all are way more brave than I ever would be competing in front of a huge audience! I was simply pointing out that there are some who try to perform in an area which is not a good fit and w/o proper training. Expertise and talent should be the most important criteria regardless if it is a serious or spunky performance. Entertainment value is subjective from classical to contemporary and everywhere in between. (NT) -- Fan, 19:06:07 05/04/13 Sat (NoHost/70.40.46.235) PS.

Stop criticizing people who are presenting an alternative to a golf tournament to raise scholarships. You were riding them for not doing anything, now you criticize what they are doing to raise funds. This gala sounds very nice.

Perhaps the moderator understands that posts that are lies and accusations are an injustice to the program. No one's buying what you are saying any more.

I know not everyone thinks she's the greatest speaker, but I adore her. I think she's very warm and inviting and I enjoyed both these videos very much :)

IMO it was the most entertaining & it was certainly more than jumping around & yelling "ha". Alyssa has a BEAUTIFUL voice, and did a great job singing At Last, but it was not as entertaining as Corrina's. She didn't sell it or have nearly as much stage presence as Corrina did.

I find it extremely inappropriate that Haley O' Brien, the reigning Miss Collegiate America, is already advocating for her "journey to the Miss MN USA stage" when she hardly makes appearances as Miss Collegiate America. There were plenty of other contestants at the National pageant that would have embraced the title and worked to promote their national platform, The Crown CARES, with dedication and passion. So disappointing.

Yeah. It was a complete yawner. Not really sure what he wanted to send it for. Just more B.S. and trying to undermine this board. I deleted itt. Not worth my time to read it.

It costs too much financially, with everything involved, and takes too much of a person's time. If you're looking for personal growth, volunteer somewhere. Hire a life-coach. Etc. Etc.

(NT) -- fan, 08:28:21 04/04/13 Thu (NoHost/72.166.95.2) Nobody will because nobody wants to write anything bad on this board about any of the girls.

Obviously something is exciting enough for you to keep coming and commenting. Get out-of the boards, of the organization, of everything-if your going to keep putting it down move on and GET OUT!!

How do you feel about the new contestants? By this I mean not devoting the entire discussion about the same formers. Lets get something fresh going. Who has strong platforms, lifestyle and fitness, and talent? Remember this is about the new ladies. I think all of them are wonderful but I am curious to see what others think.
