Kids USA Nationals! Click IN!!!!!
In reply to: 's message, "Kids USA is a waste of money and it is completely rigged! Please beware if you are going to try this system! Very Fake people!" on 17:58:27 07/25/04 Sun

I don't care what anyone else has to say but MY family had a great time at Nationals this past year! Sure, there was a small turnout but that did not mean no competition in the least. The kids were great & we loved the parties. As for your complaints on the food, I would much rather eat a KFC boxed lunch than hotel food ANY DAY and the kids raved about the beach party for days!! Who cares if you got sand in your food, it is the BEACH for goodness sakes. JS gave plenty of notice at orientation that there was limited seating at the beach & to plan accordingly. The only problem we had was the mayo on the turkey sandwiches since some children do not like to eat mayo. Disney, Knotts, the Beach and several functions at the hotel are way more than anybody else offers & I think it gives the kids a variety each year-why have the same parties every year? It gives them something to look forward to the following year.

The winners were totally on in my opinion, very talented and very deserving and NO my child did not win but did the best I could ever ask for and I am proud. I find it so sad that you would come here & say such nasty & rude things because you didn't get things exactly your way. I would have loved the overall crown for my child but there is always another year & much more for her to experience. I may have negative feeling towards other systems but to bash and berate in this choice of a forum is cowardly & simply hateful. I learned in the past that the mean things you say here, will come back to haunt you as have some others who hate to admit it as well. I really hope you are truely through with Kids USA because you will no longer be welcome in my opinion. I have experienced anger over pageants too but I have worked really hard to learn to voice my opinions in a more positive manner & although it is always difficult, it has earned respect. I really hope you find a program that works for you & stick with it & hopefully, when you do have a problem, next time you'll learn to approach the director gracefully instead of hiding behind your computer. Good Luck!

It sounds like you are satisfied with this kind of pageant, so it is the best place for you and your kids. But, maybe you should broaden your horizons a little and try another pageant. I did, and I was actually suprised to find that there are other systems that will treat you with more respect, as well as give you better food, prizes, etc.! You owe it to your DD to give her the best you can give her and in my opinion, Kids USA is a system that has a lot to learn!

- You are welcome to your opinion but honestly, you sound like a bad sport. Better prizes than trips to Hawaii and the Bahamas, $1,000 cash and college scholarships? I've never heard of it. Better food? Love the food and activities included with it. And my daughter and I have always been treated well and with respect.

  - Do you realize, that if your DD were to win, that it would cost you far more that your prize money to accompany her on the trip to the Bahamas or to Hawaii? Do you know that your daughter will be crammed into a room with all of the other "winners" and you will be on your own. That doesn't sound quality to me.

- Sorry, last message was cut off. We have lots of respect for the Directors and love them oodles. In my opinion I am giving my DD the very best. Lots of fun at a fair price with a wonderful "family". That's right, my Kids USA family. My DD didn't win and may never win, but out of all the systems we have done, this is our favorite!
