Considering the Nigeria was the last one with Denmark at the end and Denmark won, then Ann makes these racist statements...Nigeria did not stand a chance! Absolutely racist and unacceptable! As for Donald Jr. Remember that last year, TWO trans competed! Makes sense
Personally I feel Nigeria was used so that we won't see their racism, since the top 2 skin color ratio was 1:1, plus her beauty played a role, not saying she didn't have potential but she wouldn't even be in top 30, plus her controversy make her famous, it's all business for.
When she talks just lies, you can believe only 50%, she has no experience with Beauty pageant, this was the first time for her, she bought MU, just to make money and profits.
*In reference to Ms. Anne's remarks, your explanation made SO MUCH SENSE about "EVOLUTION". Inept way of putting something into context and sometimes being put on the spot may cause a setback. Yes, does sound like a mess overall for MUO... may need a more strategic way and perhaps also needing a "DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATION" -- maybe YOU(charot)? In a business perspective, thinking and going out of the box could be what accelerated their current popularity.

This may surprise you, but wealthy trans or gay individuals often don't perceive themselves as part of the broader trans or gay community in the same way others might. People tend to find ways to assert superiority, even within their own groups. For someone like Anne, her primary identity is rooted in being rich and powerful, not in being rich and trans.
For those who wonder why Europeans rarely win contests, it is because Europeans are less interested in beauty pageant. Beautiful European women are not interested in contests. There is no well practice walking, makeup, hair, clothes, or public speaking, while Asians and Latinos have invested in and trained beauty queens very well.
Duuuh asians and Latinos are also born beautiful it is just that Europeans aren't interested in beauty pageant, also in every race and ethnicities natural beauty exists.@@dennyseevangelista2116
You're absolutely right. They are not interested in this stupid bullshit drama. They are born beautiful and confident, so they don't need anyones validation, nor do they have time for this miss universe bullshit!!
Miss Universe is not anymore about heightening a woman who won above all standards to inspire well other women - It Is now all about hiring one standardized woman who will sell to other women.
Anne didn't answer or even know what evolution HE is talking about from the beginning.. Its all about HIM, it was all about profit from the beginning he took over. The essence of being the titleholder is diminished. Gone are the excitement and glory of once a prestigious pageant. The titleholder is just there to be the face but the actual job isn't there at all. Continental Queens are chosen by the owner and not by her performance all throughout. How come Africa and Oceania which is so far to each other? It is understandable if instead they have Africa and Middle East, then Asia and Oceania Then Europe and Americas The judges seems like they are there but all in all before the pageant even began its still the owners choice. DOWNGRADED ERA at its finest so far. Disappointing 😞☹️ Even the production overall is not what a Miss Universe should be. 😢 They didn't handle it well ..👎🏻
As a European, I was very happy Denmark won, but what Anne said at the press conference with the evolution, I was horrified! 🙈 As you may know, this goes back to World War II 😢 I can’t write his name but the mustache leader from Germany 🙈 sent millions of people to concentration camps because they weren’t pale or of white origin. He always spared blond white kids with blue eyes cause he thought they were superior 🙈 it just breaks my heart Anne said it like that and wasn’t thinking just for a second 🙈
I think ann meant that they never pick blond blue eyes , always other countries, and now they evolve, no more overlooking the blonde blue eyes, and thats great.

I think this year Miss Universe did not cater for conclusion, eg Miss SA being an hearing impairment candidate, much was not done to assist her, for selection of Miss Continent, especially Africa was given to 1st Run up, is not when Miss failed to fulfill her duties she will step in. So who will be representing that nation. This is just a slap in the face for Africa

I believe what happened was Anne was overly excited about the whole night and she thought by saying that she was lifting up Victoria as well to be proud of herself. For so long we embrace certain ethnicity, so called minority (I’m Asian myself), without realising that we lowkey ignore the fact that white women do exist and they are stunning as well. But we have been so afraid to acknowledge that because everyone easily offended now. Overall of course brand-wise she could have put it in a much better words to also represent the fair brand of MU.

I think that is the point, MU has been as you say, ignored and underrated in the US for a while and this is a move to try to get that audience back.. Plus, i’m not blonde or blue eyed, but I don’t understand why it’s not OK for blonde blue eyed people to have or be excited about having representation of someone that looks like them in the miss universe pageant for the first time in decades. And it’s not been just the winners, but the top five the top 12 nearly every year for a quarter of a freaking century.. like give them a break
you are correct and i perfectly aggree, miss universe now is not that credible anymore cuz it losses the reputation of the organization behind the pageant that has less cores values initiating a panel responsible of choosing the new miss universe, im not against the newly crown or miss Anne. This platform is not anymore the search that will inspire you, base from what i heard, this now a business.
I have noticed one thing about Miss Universe Top 2. The winner and First runner up in recent years always look so different. Maybe they are trying to show different sides of beauty. This year DENMARK AND NIGERIA looked like contrast of each other LAST year THAILAND AND NICARGUA were different, hair do and costume. 2022: Usa different haistyle and dress so much difference between venezuela 2021: India and USA so different 2020: Dress different but bit similar because latina 2019: Again complete opposite. 2018: different hairstyles and dress 2017: different hairstyle and color. 2016: completely different hairdo 2015: Stark contrast 2014 and 2013: was the year when both winners look really similar. 2012: different It looks like Miss Universe likes to put two stark contrast of beauty together. Based on this theory Imagine countries looking similar such as Two South east Asian or Latinas have rare chance of being in top 2 together!
Thank you Luis, your posts are always pageant enlightening. As you know, Elon’s and Donnie Jr.’s remarks were a dig at the trans movement but I found out they were in reference to practically all beauty pageants known to these two men, not just Miss U. Apparently, there have been of late trans winners in female beauty pageants here in the states. The channel flashed a photo of one winner (that I recall) and boy, talk about inclusivity! He was plus plus size, of Asian origin trans all rolled into one. I have been an MUP fan since 1963 when Lalaine Bennett made top five, the Philippines rejoiced but I didn’t because I believed she should have been crowned. Just like my nose got turned out of joint when one of my two favorites, Miss Thailand and Miss New Zealand, did not get crowned this year. But I digress. As a self-declared objective, loyal fan of decades standing, I am a purist. As such, I am appalled at how the current franchise operators have slowly and systematically dismantled the core values of a beloved cultural pastime by merching it and turning it into a soulless entity. I understand how a pageant has to be run like a business, but to them, MU is a business. There’s no stopping them! Someone would have to buy them out to save MUP.
Great analysis! Hope your video goes out to the entire universe! #MissUniverse is destroying itself! Whatever happens to them it’s them who is to be blamed!
The entire organization needs to be relooked. As a Caribbean woman, two title holders coming from Trinidad & Tobago and numerous runners up, coming from The Caribbean, for a pageant the preaches inclusivity, "The Caribbean" was completely dismissed in the continental queen awards. The Caribbean! is not, "The Americas"!
Point missed! THE CARIBBEAN is the Caribbean. This is not a geography class. You failed misersbley as did the MU orgianization linking Africa with Oceania and Europe with the Middle East. This is about representation The Caribbean is not represented by labelling it "Americas". I'll say it again!completely different culture, colonial history, topography, climate, ethnic makeup.Miss World recognises THE CARIBBEAN as a region as do all global, multilateral organizations @ somebody else. @cynthiasanchez3019
Yes, the Caribbean is considered part of the Americas. Geographically, most of the Caribbean islands are part of North America, while some countries and territories in the region, such as Trinidad and Tobago, are geographically close to or considered part of South America.
Seems like everything happening in Europe is bad this year, from the ongoing war in Ukraine, to Eurovision, to the Olympic controversies, to various climate events, among others.
As an American, what I could say this is a perfect joke for Saturday Night Live with Ken Jeong, Reba MacEntire and Lindsay Lohan, yes that owner became the butt of ginger jokes. Just to say I love to see a red hair woman to win Miss Universe I am sick and tired of this person’s comment for a reason it made me admire women with red hair more.
Per MUO, Continental Queens are chosen or personal choice of the MUO Management, Remember that they are part of Top 30. Where the other girls, specially the top 5 are chosen by the judges or selection committee.
Props and power to you for your decision to not give a response to Hulu and their documentary. These shows will edit and only include the interview response/answers from you that will fit with their narrative and show. I love your commentary about the pageantry world. Thank you for sharing your experiences and opinions! ❤
'Maybe "evolution" was to joke about "evolution" because blonde hair and blue eyes came last in human "evolution". Not taking any sides here, I just assumed that's how they took the question, and assumed it would be a fun response.
Also why are the “owners” involved in photoshoots, press conference when it should be all the Miss Universe winner! She only has 1 year, show some respect #missuniverse
Im Republican and Conservative and I understand both sides. You are so right, these men (TrumpJr, Musk etc) dont know in detail about MU and what's been going on, they only see the "surface level". The US of A is struggling with defining what a "woman" is, it is an issue here and has been politicized by both Republicans and Democrats. Plus it's election year, the emotions are high on this topic. I'm not defending TrumpJr or Musk or Paul but I can understand why they said what they said. Transgenderism infiltrated the MU organization already, plus there were several candidates who won the "national" title. So yeah the hype of Ms Denmark winning is an added bonus to the political win for Republicans/Conservatives. It's political and has nothing to do at all against the past MU queens.
Probably best for separate competitions for transgender contestants and also for disabled women. There are and will always be limits to inclusion, if there weren't why is that we never see women over 50 years of age competing? The worship of "inclusion" is not helping society, it is not an absolute.
No, that doesn’t make any sense. Sorry, Louis is right it was just disgusting. It’s because she’s blonde blue eyed ..there has never not been a woman crowned so what’s your point really
@alex-98712 I agree with you. There should be a "dotted line" somewhere...My wish is for MU to promote natural beauty. No cosmetic surgery, facial surgery especially. Should go back to the very reason why MU was created. A beautiful woman (biological) with a purpose (brain).
@Annie-j5t I don't disagree with Louis. I was just explaining the tweets or "x" messages that were shared especially from TrumpJr. The win of Pres Trump from the last election just brought tons of emotions. And when emotions are high sometimes as humans we tend to say things that doesn't sound right/pleasant.
According to Anne, the continental queens were the highest placing delegate from prelims and they decided to not announce then until after to try and not influence the scoring. I don't know if I buy the second part. They needed to be more transparent with that announcement.
I'm happy with the winner this year. I was happy for last year winner too. Raul and Anne should just let the girls shine. The show is about them. They didn't even let the girls say their name along with their country just so they could have 2 mins of worthless speech each🙄. The production was terrible, I hope they work hard to fix it for next year instead of claiming it was a success specially after so many girls got sick.
Ann should have focused on the changes on the miss universe there are married women in this pageant trans women and no age limit and That's an evolution of itself.
Am not a fan of Ann but Miss universe is Miss universe ( ups downs we all see that ) She meant blonde blues eyes etc.means the currently Miss universe is blonde eyes so she meant it but I think she didn't digest the question , seriously #luis 😂 She meant the current Miss Universe is blonde eyes etc... But fr me any dramas or etc...Miss universe is the best... Miss universe crowned 👑 the best one...also Miss Denmark is deserving her sincerity❤ ❤ 4m Ukhrul #India
hey, what are your thoughts on Miss Africa & Miss Oceana Chidima Adetshina's win? What will happen to her titles and her win since she mentioned it is the end of the road for her? Does she continue to reign even though she had an early retiremenet? Will the 2nd runner-up be crowned on Chidimma's behalf?
Her comments were misunderstood and she clarified it on her instagram story. What she meant is that she will not compete in another pageant. she is satisfied with her performance at miss universe and doesnt need to compete again. I believe she said this because Nigerians were calling for her to participate in another pageant - miss world specifically.
I am appalled that the reactions from people to Victoria winning are holding more weight than ANN'S RACIST COMMENTS WHEN THEY ARE THE OWNERS OF THIS PAGEANT! Not regular spectators, but the owners! My friend participated in MU 2024. She put in so much work to prepare for this pageant! But never stood a chance because MU was only after appearance! As a woman, there's more to us evolving than hair and eye color! Ann should not get off the hook so easily. All Hispanic and Afro countries should not participate in this trash of a pageant!
My goodness! When is everyone going to realize Miss Universe and every other pageant is NOT important. It’s a sexist, misogynistic, meat market. It doesn’t empower anyone. It is not “important.” Your videos add to the drama you’re complaining about. The crown, empowering women, continental queens- all superficial baloney.
No you are wrong. These crowned women do a lot of advocacy work and raise awareness for so many important issues today. Look at the work of Catriona Gray - she has impressed people with the amounts of good causes she does worldwide. Look at Rbonney, who teaches sewing classes to women who have survived human trafficking and domestic violence. Its not always a pomp-and-circumstance spectacle glorified to outer beauty. There have been winners who aren't actually the most visually appealing but they know how to make a difference around them.
MU NEEDS TO HAVE A REFRESHER WITH THEIR GEOGRAPHY. WHY DO THEY NEED TO INCLUDE EUROPE WITH MIDDLE EAST WHICH IS A PART OF ASIA? AND COMBINE AFRICA WITH OCEANIA WHICH IS A 2 DIFFERENT CONTINENTS WHICH IS WAY TOO FAR FROM EACH OTHER.? TOTALLY DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE 😂
So true! At first, I wanted to think Anne was being funny about evolution being humans reached a blonde and blue eye version of a human being throughout life am full evolution… (lol) But unfortunately, until MUO’s ownership is transferred to a more diplomatic owner, this will only get worst. I just wonder how the ‘reality show’ format will actually pan out, when or if that actually happens.
No she didn't. That's false internet rumor nonsense, made up to slander her because she's white. All that happened was a JayZ song played over her video. It was literally a black man singing that word.
MU is putting out “lifestyle” products …at this MU?..the most degraded MU show?….and no matter how these kweens will sell their products….how is the quality?..they cane up with Continental kweens out of the blue so they can use them in “pushing their products”…and not their mission and personal purposes….this pageant is being downgraded big time. These kweens should get a cut per items sold
Donald Trump jr. and the other two American white man comments screams “ discrimination to me” Ms. Needs a great translator because she almost seemed flattered that they made such a comment 😩 I’d like to assume that there was a language barrier there because she responded like it was a compliment
I was in Mexico city for 5 days This editoon of Miss U was the worst compared to the other Misd U live that I attenden in the past. I did not finish watching both the prelims and finals and my friends and I just went to dinner and then to the gay clubs. It's a good things that Mexico is quite vibrant which more than made up for the ugly and boring Miss U production.
6:38 An Asian Trans Woman saying blonde hair blue eyes evolution AND sharing Anti-Trans post…is unhinged! They have a lot of self hate to work through!
This ownership is such a disappointment, and Anne's evolution comment really highlights what a shallow person she is. We went from having inspiring queens bringing awarenes to so many different causes to them being reduced to just some pretty faces to promote a bunch of merchandise no one asked for... I'm so tired of having some celebritiy or influencer shoving their products in everyone's faces, did we really need more of the same crap from MU?
@@lillie7014 I agree with you 💯. It's about the advocacy and having a voice of change as a Beauty Queen. It's not American Next Top Model only looking for Pretty High Fashion Models who can be influencers. Hence I am no longer supporting Miss Universe.
I’m interested to see how their products do. Especially with all this mess I don’t see fans buying this stuff other than people that go to the competition and the girls competing
Yes, Im glad only Biological women participated. Women competing against other women. Also, why are you calling Women that want to compete against other Biological women "THESE" people???
With the sudden interest of these American peeps plus the documentary, aren't they giving us the hint that they might be having an interest of buying it out, or bringing back the ownership to America/ or to an American.
Miss universe should not apply miss world system because they don't have beauty with propose project like miss world. Miss Universe is only about glamour because of that there is no reason to appoint Continental Queens .while miss world select Continental Queen according to their Beauty with purpose project
They can only copy MW but can never become MW. Anne is copying everything in the worst possible way. MW has class and standard that MU cannot match unfortunately.
They already do but Anne is giving him more leeway for now, until they find their sweet spot. We should give them a chance. I think the clout will settle.
Anne is most likely the one that is getting roast all this blond and blue eyes evolution is BS. This person make me admire redheads more because I believe someone with red hair should win and I see them very beautiful now.
@@Embargoman I think Anne didn't like the win because it was not a DEI win. But she admits Victoria is stunning. I think she didnt know what to say and said what was in his mind. For him, it went full circle. Meaning back to the beginning. He tried to fix by calling Victoria perfect and beautiful. Which she is, but Anne is just struggling with reality about beauty pageants. I think Anne, instead if buying MU, should have cretaed his own pageant. He would have been happier.
Anne should start having /creating/planning to have his own pageantry. He is destroying the Reputation,Prestige and Legacy of MU..Miss Universe should be Bological woman and Single..like the usual MU from the time it was started in 1952..It's a beauty contest not commercial and " an online shopping bussines "
I’ve been a fan of Miss Universe since I was a young girl, and they are slowly losing their credibility and prestige. It’s turning more into a business than a pageant. The prestige of MU has gone down since 2022. Will Miss Grand International be the number 1 pageant now?
We are fugging tired to seeing powerhouses winning. Denmark is the rightful winner. Thailand Philippines Venezuela Puerto Rico CANNOT win anymore -- the same prototype beauty that is tiresome!!!!
excuse me? Philippines only win this century after 40+ years drought and you think we should not win? IN FACT USA has more crowns than the countries you aforementioned.. Its so funny how you oNLY judge those who win based on how RECENTLY THEY WERE BUT LOL... VENEZUELA AND USA HAD BEEN WINNING MISS U SINCE BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN 😂😂😂😂😂
I get that it can be frustrating when pageant rules don’t make sense, especially since a trans woman took over and changed everything only to find ourselves back in the same place decades ago. But to say you are tired of seeing powerhouses win, instead of saying something’s wrong with the pageant, is sending a message of negativity tinged with bitterness against women from these countries? It’s not fair to these ladies who worked hard for their crowns. Let’s be real- the ladies who didn’t win, no matter where they’re from, despite their best efforts, just need to catch up, and get better. PERIOD.

The owners are tacky and out of touch. They think these tactics will generate buzz and sell MU merchandise, but they are actually diluting their product. Anne couldn't sell MUO water in Asia lol and viejo verde won't sell another Telemundo reality show about another beauty contest. Look at their "engagements" on social media. Those are not buyers.

And it’s not been just the winners, but the top five the top 12 nearly every year for a quarter of a freaking century.. like give them a break
If they want to bring US audience back why is the pageant is promoted through latino media.
you are correct and i perfectly aggree, miss universe now is not that credible anymore cuz it losses the reputation of the organization behind the pageant that has less cores values initiating a panel responsible of choosing the new miss universe, im not against the newly crown or miss Anne. This platform is not anymore the search that will inspire you, base from what i heard, this now a business.
Absolutely rite " Luis why are we addiny to it ?" 😂 ❤ Frm India
I have noticed one thing about Miss Universe Top 2. The winner and First runner up in recent years always look so different. Maybe they are trying to show different sides of beauty.
This year DENMARK AND NIGERIA looked like contrast of each other
LAST year THAILAND AND NICARGUA were different, hair do and costume.
2022: Usa different haistyle and dress so much difference between venezuela
2021: India and USA so different
2020: Dress different but bit similar because latina
2019: Again complete opposite.
2018: different hairstyles and dress
2017: different hairstyle and color.
2016: completely different hairdo
2015: Stark contrast
2014 and 2013: was the year when both winners look really similar.
2012: different
It looks like Miss Universe likes to put two stark contrast of beauty together. Based on this theory
Imagine countries looking similar such as Two South east Asian or Latinas have rare chance of being in top 2 together!
Thank you Luis, your posts are always pageant enlightening.
As you know, Elon’s and Donnie Jr.’s remarks were a dig at the trans movement but I found out they were in reference to practically all beauty pageants known to these two men, not just Miss U. Apparently, there have been of late trans winners in female beauty pageants here in the states. The channel flashed a photo of one winner (that I recall) and boy, talk about inclusivity! He was plus plus size, of Asian origin trans all rolled into one. I have been an MUP fan since 1963 when Lalaine Bennett made top five, the Philippines rejoiced but I didn’t because I believed she should have been crowned. Just like my nose got turned out of joint when one of my two favorites, Miss Thailand and Miss New Zealand, did not get crowned this year. But I digress. As a self-declared objective, loyal fan of decades standing, I am a purist. As such, I am appalled at how the current franchise operators have slowly and systematically dismantled the core values of a beloved cultural pastime by merching it and turning it into a soulless entity. I understand how a pageant has to be run like a business, but to them, MU is a business. There’s no stopping them! Someone would have to buy them out to save MUP.
Well-said as always Luis, im strongly agree with you 👍🏻 (& so glad to see you in person At Presidente Intercontinental hotel last week 😊)
Great analysis! Hope your video goes out to the entire universe! #MissUniverse is destroying itself! Whatever happens to them it’s them who is to be blamed!
you don't every know if these are opinions of their social media managers who are posting.
The entire organization needs to be relooked. As a Caribbean woman, two title holders coming from Trinidad & Tobago and numerous runners up, coming from The Caribbean, for a pageant the preaches inclusivity, "The Caribbean" was completely dismissed in the continental queen awards. The Caribbean! is not, "The Americas"!
Geographically, yes it is.
Point missed! THE CARIBBEAN is the Caribbean. This is not a geography class. You failed misersbley as did the MU orgianization linking Africa with Oceania and Europe with the Middle East. This is about representation The Caribbean is not represented by labelling it "Americas". I'll say it again!completely different culture, colonial history, topography, climate, ethnic makeup.Miss World recognises THE CARIBBEAN as a region as do all global, multilateral organizations @ somebody else. @cynthiasanchez3019
Yes, the Caribbean is considered part of the Americas. Geographically, most of the Caribbean islands are part of North America, while some countries and territories in the region, such as Trinidad and Tobago, are geographically close to or considered part of South America.
She/he is very naive of beauty pageants so don't expect to get a strategic idea from her/him.
All non blond hair blue eyes contestants should boycott MU. That new CEO does not like herself/ himself/itself
Girl not ITSELF 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The internalised hate is so evident with that creature. Definitely itself.
I agree with you
How about women stop dying their hair blonde first.
Itself 😂
That Raul guy is creepy, and the new Miss. Universe seems uncomfortable everytime she is in a photoshoot and he wants to be in her pics
As a European, I am so happy someone finally from Europe won.
Unfortunately, it happened in the worst possible year… 😢
France won in 2016.
Their comment is right to their wrong understanding of the essence of MU is
Seems like everything happening in Europe is bad this year, from the ongoing war in Ukraine, to Eurovision, to the Olympic controversies, to various climate events, among others.
@kpop2476 it’s something positive to lighten a bad year.
As an American, what I could say this is a perfect joke for Saturday Night Live with Ken Jeong, Reba MacEntire and Lindsay Lohan, yes that owner became the butt of ginger jokes.
Just to say I love to see a red hair woman to win Miss Universe I am sick and tired of this person’s comment for a reason it made me admire women with red hair more.
How did Anne get rich to begin with? She comes off ditzy sometimes so I’m genuinely curious?
They pick continental queens was based on which girl got highest in prelims.
Per MUO, Continental Queens are chosen or personal choice of the MUO Management, Remember that they are part of Top 30. Where the other girls, specially the top 5 are chosen by the judges or selection committee.
Props and power to you for your decision to not give a response to Hulu and their documentary. These shows will edit and only include the interview response/answers from you that will fit with their narrative and show.
I love your commentary about the pageantry world. Thank you for sharing your experiences and opinions! ❤
'Maybe "evolution" was to joke about "evolution" because blonde hair and blue eyes came last in human "evolution". Not taking any sides here, I just assumed that's how they took the question, and assumed it would be a fun response.
Yes. They awarded Chelsea Miss Universe Asia to make the gay Filipinos happy. Seriously. They cannot call this a cooking show. Hahaha 😊
well to me, Trump Jr's etc's comments are kinda... sarcastic... knowing MU bent the rules for trans, married women etc.
They choose the 4 continental queens in the Top 30. The Top 30 are selected during the time they select 4 continental queens.
I enjoyed this Luis… ty
Also why are the “owners” involved in photoshoots, press conference when it should be all the Miss Universe winner! She only has 1 year, show some respect #missuniverse
You are telling what I have been feeling about this. But I also think they are taking away from Miss Denmark’s moment by encouraging these comments.
Get a THAI running any pageant and you are guaranteed disaster. 😂
Im Republican and Conservative and I understand both sides. You are so right, these men (TrumpJr, Musk etc) dont know in detail about MU and what's been going on, they only see the "surface level". The US of A is struggling with defining what a "woman" is, it is an issue here and has been politicized by both Republicans and Democrats. Plus it's election year, the emotions are high on this topic. I'm not defending TrumpJr or Musk or Paul but I can understand why they said what they said. Transgenderism infiltrated the MU organization already, plus there were several candidates who won the "national" title. So yeah the hype of Ms Denmark winning is an added bonus to the political win for Republicans/Conservatives. It's political and has nothing to do at all against the past MU queens.
Probably best for separate competitions for transgender contestants and also for disabled women. There are and will always be limits to inclusion, if there weren't why is that we never see women over 50 years of age competing? The worship of "inclusion" is not helping society, it is not an absolute.
No, that doesn’t make any sense. Sorry, Louis is right it was just disgusting. It’s because she’s blonde blue eyed ..there has never not been a woman crowned so what’s your point really
@alex-98712 I agree with you. There should be a "dotted line" somewhere...My wish is for MU to promote natural beauty. No cosmetic surgery, facial surgery especially. Should go back to the very reason why MU was created. A beautiful woman (biological) with a purpose (brain).
@Annie-j5t I don't disagree with Louis. I was just explaining the tweets or "x" messages that were shared especially from TrumpJr. The win of Pres Trump from the last election just brought tons of emotions. And when emotions are high sometimes as humans we tend to say things that doesn't sound right/pleasant.
The continental Queens is copied from Miss World.
According to Anne, the continental queens were the highest placing delegate from prelims and they decided to not announce then until after to try and not influence the scoring. I don't know if I buy the second part. They needed to be more transparent with that announcement.
I'm happy with the winner this year. I was happy for last year winner too. Raul and Anne should just let the girls shine. The show is about them. They didn't even let the girls say their name along with their country just so they could have 2 mins of worthless speech each🙄. The production was terrible, I hope they work hard to fix it for next year instead of claiming it was a success specially after so many girls got sick.
Ann should have focused on the changes on the miss universe there are married women in this pageant trans women and no age limit and That's an evolution of itself.
im glad we all see just how terrible the leadership of the organization is 🤦♂
Am not a fan of Ann but Miss universe is Miss universe ( ups downs we all see that )
She meant blonde blues eyes etc.means the currently Miss universe is blonde eyes so she meant it but I think she didn't digest the question , seriously #luis 😂
She meant the current Miss Universe is blonde eyes etc...
But fr me any dramas or etc...Miss universe is the best...
Miss universe crowned 👑 the best one...also Miss Denmark is deserving her sincerity❤
❤ 4m Ukhrul #India
This is bullshit, shit miss universe 🤮🤮🤮🤮
hey, what are your thoughts on Miss Africa & Miss Oceana Chidima Adetshina's win? What will happen to her titles and her win since she mentioned it is the end of the road for her? Does she continue to reign even though she had an early retiremenet? Will the 2nd runner-up be crowned on Chidimma's behalf?
Her comments were misunderstood and she clarified it on her instagram story. What she meant is that she will not compete in another pageant. she is satisfied with her performance at miss universe and doesnt need to compete again. I believe she said this because Nigerians were calling for her to participate in another pageant - miss world specifically.
@@Globetalesdaily she can't enter in Miss world, he has an open criminal case of identity fraud against her
because the winner is from Europe. These people are all from Europe. that's why they react
I am appalled that the reactions from people to Victoria winning are holding more weight than ANN'S RACIST COMMENTS WHEN THEY ARE THE OWNERS OF THIS PAGEANT! Not regular spectators, but the owners! My friend participated in MU 2024. She put in so much work to prepare for this pageant! But never stood a chance because MU was only after appearance! As a woman, there's more to us evolving than hair and eye color! Ann should not get off the hook so easily. All Hispanic and Afro countries should not participate in this trash of a pageant!
Uncle Anne is taking too much estrogen supplement. He's acting much more queeny than a real woman. What a dumb answer....blonde hair blue eyes😂😂😂
Everyone run to 1st runner-up when it was announced instead of the winner
I hate drama, stop it. Enough for MU.
MU.. has *FALLEN*, the director is a business person everyone in top 30 I personally believe they were business strategies.
My goodness! When is everyone going to realize Miss Universe and every other pageant is NOT important. It’s a sexist, misogynistic, meat market. It doesn’t empower anyone. It is not “important.” Your videos add to the drama you’re complaining about. The crown, empowering women, continental queens- all superficial baloney.
No you are wrong. These crowned women do a lot of advocacy work and raise awareness for so many important issues today. Look at the work of Catriona Gray - she has impressed people with the amounts of good causes she does worldwide. Look at Rbonney, who teaches sewing classes to women who have survived human trafficking and domestic violence. Its not always a pomp-and-circumstance spectacle glorified to outer beauty. There have been winners who aren't actually the most visually appealing but they know how to make a difference around them.
Yazzzz drama me mama!!!
MU NEEDS TO HAVE A REFRESHER WITH THEIR GEOGRAPHY. WHY DO THEY NEED TO INCLUDE EUROPE WITH MIDDLE EAST WHICH IS A PART OF ASIA? AND COMBINE AFRICA WITH OCEANIA WHICH IS A 2 DIFFERENT CONTINENTS WHICH IS WAY TOO FAR FROM EACH OTHER.? TOTALLY DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE 😂
I loved Ms dember. Her personality was like your goofy 🤪 bestie. She looks like she is the life of a party.
So true! At first, I wanted to think Anne was being funny about evolution being humans reached a blonde and blue eye version of a human being throughout life am full evolution… (lol) But unfortunately, until MUO’s ownership is transferred to a more diplomatic owner, this will only get worst. I just wonder how the ‘reality show’ format will actually pan out, when or if that actually happens.
Bring back Paula Shugart!!!!
Miss U went to hell when Anne, Raul and Osmel became involved!!!
Petition now!!!! ,😡😡😡
Regarding the Continental Queens, when and why did "ASIA and Oceania" become "AFRICA and Oceania"?
Mabuhay!
soo are we just going to ignore the fact that Viktoria said a racial slur? I have never felt so ashamed to be European.
No she didn't. That's false internet rumor nonsense, made up to slander her because she's white. All that happened was a JayZ song played over her video. It was literally a black man singing that word.
MU is putting out “lifestyle” products …at this MU?..the most degraded MU show?….and no matter how these kweens will sell their products….how is the quality?..they cane up with Continental kweens out of the blue so they can use them in “pushing their products”…and not their mission and personal purposes….this pageant is being downgraded big time.
These kweens should get a cut per items sold
Donald Trump jr. and the other two American white man comments screams “ discrimination to me” Ms. Needs a great translator because she almost seemed flattered that they made such a comment 😩 I’d like to assume that there was a language barrier there because she responded like it was a compliment
Agree luis
I was in Mexico city for 5 days
This editoon of Miss U was the worst compared to the other Misd U live that I attenden in the past. I did not finish watching both the prelims and finals and my friends and I just went to dinner and then to the gay clubs. It's a good things that Mexico is quite vibrant which more than made up for the ugly and boring Miss U production.
the original MU has gone for long time ago.
6:38 An Asian Trans Woman saying blonde hair blue eyes evolution AND sharing Anti-Trans post…is unhinged! They have a lot of self hate to work through!
This ownership is such a disappointment, and Anne's evolution comment really highlights what a shallow person she is. We went from having inspiring queens bringing awarenes to so many different causes to them being reduced to just some pretty faces to promote a bunch of merchandise no one asked for... I'm so tired of having some celebritiy or influencer shoving their products in everyone's faces, did we really need more of the same crap from MU?
@@lillie7014 I agree with you 💯. It's about the advocacy and having a voice of change as a Beauty Queen. It's not American Next Top Model only looking for Pretty High Fashion Models who can be influencers. Hence I am no longer supporting Miss Universe.
Damn u r so damn right
I’m interested to see how their products do. Especially with all this mess I don’t see fans buying this stuff other than people that go to the competition and the girls competing
Coming from a biological man right?
@@jessicamejia2010 Seriously, people buy products from MU brand? Even if it costs 1 dollar, I won't buy anything from them 😂😂
Anne and Raul are friends with them. They think the same so expect a Miss Universe like trump era
Yes, Im glad only Biological women participated. Women competing against other women. Also, why are you calling Women that want to compete against other Biological women "THESE" people???
Anne Jak is a hypocrite 😂
Please do you know who won “Best National Costume” and “Best Evening Gown” 🙏🏾
With the sudden interest of these American peeps plus the documentary, aren't they giving us the hint that they might be having an interest of buying it out, or bringing back the ownership to America/ or to an American.
Miss universe should not apply miss world system because they don't have beauty with propose project like miss world. Miss Universe is only about glamour because of that there is no reason to appoint Continental Queens .while miss world select Continental Queen according to their Beauty with purpose project
Exactly! It seems to me that Anne just copied Miss World, but without the criterias. Continental sash in MU looked like a consolation prize tbh.
They can only copy MW but can never become MW. Anne is copying everything in the worst possible way. MW has class and standard that MU cannot match unfortunately.
Hi Luis an avid fan of yours 🩷 watching you always from San Diego California USA 🇺🇸
Miss universe has definitely gone woke though so I do understand why people would make that comment…
Language Barrier I guess.
Ann and Raul will be the end of Miss Universe. Wait until they start disagreeing with each other.
This comment 😢 that's how they will start crumbling down
They already do but Anne is giving him more leeway for now, until they find their sweet spot. We should give them a chance. I think the clout will settle.
Anne is most likely the one that is getting roast all this blond and blue eyes evolution is BS.
This person make me admire redheads more because I believe someone with red hair should win and I see them very beautiful now.
@@Embargoman I think Anne didn't like the win because it was not a DEI win. But she admits Victoria is stunning. I think she didnt know what to say and said what was in his mind. For him, it went full circle. Meaning back to the beginning. He tried to fix by calling Victoria perfect and beautiful. Which she is, but Anne is just struggling with reality about beauty pageants.
I think Anne, instead if buying MU, should have cretaed his own pageant. He would have been happier.
Anne should start having /creating/planning to have his own pageantry. He is destroying the Reputation,Prestige and Legacy of MU..Miss Universe should be Bological woman and Single..like the usual MU from the time it was started in 1952..It's a beauty contest not commercial and " an online shopping bussines "
I’ve been a fan of Miss Universe since I was a young girl, and they are slowly losing their credibility and prestige.
It’s turning more into a business than a pageant.
The prestige of MU has gone down since 2022.
Will Miss Grand International be the number 1 pageant now?
You are so on point. Smart and you are well informed not just in pageantry.
Ano nag pageant lang naghirap sila at wala pala mapapala na kapalit pinag hirapan tungkol sa pageant int compt
We are fugging tired to seeing powerhouses winning. Denmark is the rightful winner. Thailand Philippines Venezuela Puerto Rico CANNOT win anymore -- the same prototype beauty that is tiresome!!!!
excuse me? Philippines only win this century after 40+ years drought and you think we should not win? IN FACT USA has more crowns than the countries you aforementioned.. Its so funny how you oNLY judge those who win based on how RECENTLY THEY WERE BUT LOL... VENEZUELA AND USA HAD BEEN WINNING MISS U SINCE BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN 😂😂😂😂😂
I get that it can be frustrating when pageant rules don’t make sense, especially since a trans woman took over and changed everything only to find ourselves back in the same place decades ago.
But to say you are tired of seeing powerhouses win, instead of saying something’s wrong with the pageant, is sending a message of negativity tinged with bitterness against women from these countries? It’s not fair to these ladies who worked hard for their crowns.
Let’s be real- the ladies who didn’t win, no matter where they’re from, despite their best efforts, just need to catch up, and get better. PERIOD.
That is european ideology of beauty for as African is not pale skin is horrible
Mag ingat ka sa mga sinasabi mo ang mga salita dapat hindi nakakasakit ng Iyong kapuwa yun last na panood kita nilaglag mo si Ahtis Manalo. yan ang hindi ko makakalimuta wag mo gayahin si Adam isa siyang kahihiyan sa ating akang kabaklaan just saying respect my post that's my opinion.
I don’t think the problem is Mr. Rocha, Mr. Rocha is an amazing human being. The problem is Anne she is too self centered.
The owners are tacky and out of touch. They think these tactics will generate buzz and sell MU merchandise, but they are actually diluting their product. Anne couldn't sell MUO water in Asia lol and viejo verde won't sell another Telemundo reality show about another beauty contest. Look at their "engagements" on social media. Those are not buyers.
No pageant no pundo manny pay the any pageat compt int 23 2024up to2025 maliwanag ba tama kung wala kayo pundo sa pay sa mga winner no pageant
