So, I'm rooting for Hawaii. She should do very well in the evening gown competition.

OOOH, she tripped!

[Marianne2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 8:56pm

I noticed that too. I'm rooting for Miss District of Columbia.

[StockardFan]

I don't know who I'm rooting for yet.

I think it was Miss Texas who also tripped, and not even on the steps.

[StockardFan]

I missed Texas tripping!

In the past, didn't they have a different set of judges for the preliminary competition?

[StockardFan]

I have no idea? I'm usually drinking during these shows...LOL

Miss Virginia was pretty good, and when they showed her mom crying in the audience I thought that was sweet.

Virginia had a shaky middle part, but she started and ended well.

WEll at least there's some talent there. Not like the olden days when a contestant packed a suitcase as her talent.

[Marianne2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:17pm

Compared to last year, I think the talent competition is a lot better. Okay, I thought the accompanment with Miss Louisiana on the piano sort of drowned out her playing, but that was the worst so far.

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:18pm

I kind of miss the juggling and baton twirling days though.....LOL

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:23pm

I love it when you can tell that the contestant had no talents but learned one song, or one dance (like that last one).

[Marianne2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:24pm

Miss Nebraska has lost my respect for choosing a song from "Legally Blonde." Just kidding. I'm not a big fan of that show, that's all.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:27pm

I know, I was thinking the exact same thing as you Jane!

I hate opera. No offense to any opera lovers. I just don't "get" it.

[Marianne2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:29pm

Another cliche song.

Sometimes I like Opera, sometimes I don't. I think Miss District of Columbia was a little better.

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:29pm

oy, this girl is turning Les MIz into a country western. And her faces are scary!

[bwaylvsong]

I just turned it on and was very impressed by Miss Texas.

[Marianne2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:32pm

That girl butchered "On My Own." It was not a good rendition at all.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:34pm

I didn't like it either.

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:45pm

this girl totally avoided answering the question (Haiti)

[Marianne2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:48pm

Agreed. I do think music is important, but I think there are bigger problems down in Haiti right now to worry about.

And I'm sad that Miss District of Columbia was eliminated. Now I don't know who I want to win.

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:51pm

The question was why should we send aid to Haiti when we're suffering a financial disaster here (or something to that effect).

[Marianne2]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:59pm

Yeah, she was way off on that, and thankfully she didn't win. Actually, I can live with Miss Virginia winning. Is it a conspiracy that Miss California was 1st runner up?

[StockardFan]

Posted: 1/30/10 at 9:59pm

YAY FOR MY HOME GIRL!!!!
