Sorry, but when the organization announces a competition, with certain selection criteria (such as talent being 50 % of score), they should hold the competition within those rules. It is not disrespecting anyone to say the other 50 ladies, and their sponsors, prepared for the rules as they were announced. But it insulting the preparations of the others and their efforts; the fund raising, the work on their platforms, rehearsing their talents, and spending money, to say they didn't understand the change in the rules, and only politically correct and properly sponsored competitors will be eligible for the crown. The SC organization told none of the girls or LED's that talent wouldn't really matter. That is disrespect. Fifty women were insulted by the choice of an untalented young lady in a competition in which talent was supposed to be 50 % of the deciding factor. If your "rules" are the new normal, hold a convention, have debates, and have your constituency vote for their choice, but don't use the title of a once proud organization.

Then she should have done a science experiment on stage for her talent like a candidate in a different state pageant did and spared all of us our hearing. It was not even music -it was offensive. A good coach would have steered her in a different direction for talent. I saw a few dancers that were obviously lacking greatly in technique. I saw two very good dancers total one mediocre and lots below average. So dancing is obviously open to interpretation. Do that. Don’t wail in a mic, sound like that and not expect backlash. thats not reality, either. I haven’t seen anyone attacking her intelligence and she’s obviously beautiful - but her “singing” was worse than an elementary school talent show. Even some Clemson fans have said the same.
