What a sweet surprise to see my photo make your favorites! I’ve been watching your channel since before I took the jump to start competing as a teen and this totally made my day ❤️ Thank you!!! - Miss NC
Wow...ALL THE BEST.... Pay close attention to the judging criteria and ensure you are giving what they are looking for... Sleep and dream about these criteria and remember even when you are not on stage the organization is looking at you... good luck!
Love the Miss America content! Would you ever consider doing a recap/commentary on past winners of major pageants, including way back when? I love to see how what organizations want in a winner changes over the decades.
Miss South Carolina, Jada Samuel, is in it for sure!!! She won 1st runner for so many years and when she won this year, literally EVERYONE IN THE BUILDING GAVE HER A STANDING OVATION!!!! Every contestant was so genuinely happy for her and broke out cheering her name”JADA, JADA”! Her crowning went past time on live but kept on airing bc it was so heartwarming!!!
I'd love to see more content on the Miss America pageant. I, too, am hoping so much that the new director will bring the Miss America pageant back to what it was, instead of just a boring job interview.
Yes, please do more Miss America commentary and reactions from this year’s competition! I love your content for the USA system and would enjoy hearing it for MA! Thanks!
The photos and contestants are lovely, and I wish them well. But the very recent revelations that dozens of Miss A contestants from 2022 and 2023 have NOT been paid their rightfully earned scholarships as per their signed contracts is alarming. Miss Mass Katrina Kincade started spilling the tea on her Instagram and now more including women in the top 10 and 5 have confirmed they were denied because of rule changes that occurred *after* their competition. It is so unjust!
Robin Fleming herself clarified the whole situation over at the MAO Fan Forum. The entity that Classes of ‘22 & ‘23 are after is the Miss America Foundation which is based in NJ. Robin tried working with MAF but they refused to provide transparency. Robin therefore established Miss America’s Scholarship Foundation who will be providing the scholarships moving forward.
I would also have included IN’s in this! She is very big on representation for other girls who look like her & it shows in the image (ex. her hair is in braids in a bun, just like how she won in braids)
My issue with hands and arms in pageant headshots is often times the photographer neglects to retouch/adjust the color/tone of the hand/arm to match the makeup of the face.
@@DaniWalker What would really be helpful to see is what MAO used to provide on their website 15-20 years ago which was the following - Headshots of all contestants along with their age, hometown, college, major, talent presentation, and platform. It would also be helpful to have more insight on how the preliminaries are going to be run, and if preliminary awards will be given. Lastly, I'd love to know who the judges are and if the interview process has changed at all this year. Thanks for this content. I think North Carolina & Florida will be holding hands at the end, hopefully with a North Carolina win!
Please let her bring it back to its glory that was lost in the 2.0 lost its way. You can still have tradition and show progress as well. You are awesome Dani and your input is great!
Yes! Also hoping that the new director will help return this pageant back to where it was or even better! It’s so sad to see how down hill the pageant has gone. Please do more coverage! 🤍
The best Headshot is NH.... however, TX and SC.... WOW... and Dani... I remember watching you compete at USA.... you are still stunning.. and yes... messy hair for you for sure.. FIERCE!!!
Looking forward to the upcoming Miss America pageant (or competition), now that it is under the leadership of a former director of a Miss USA state pageant.

As a local titleholder I love the coverage and hearing more opinions on the Miss A Opportunity!

Miss South Carolina looks like if Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez would have a baby together
Thank-you for the Miss America content. I hope the show ends up back on TV
I would also have included IN’s in this! She is very big on representation for other girls who look like her & it shows in the image (ex. her hair is in braids in a bun, just like how she won in braids)
Illinois is actually a college professor, she is looks really young but her looks are deceiving and VERY mature
