India’s Lara Dutta totally slayed it. When she started speaking, I eventually knew she’s gonna win. A very quick wit and intelligence this woman possessed. Truly a beautiful package of beauty and brains.
“Beauty and brains” isn’t a compliment because you’re assuming that it’s something rare in women and needs to be pointed out. Beauty and brains isn’t mutually exclusive
Always smiling and the calmest Miss Universe ... I don't know how many times I have listened her answer...to the point, without stutter, feel unrehearsed, precise and confident answer in the history of Miss Universe... Huge respect for Ms. Lara Dutta...
The fact that Lara asked politely to have the microphone to herself already gave her the victory. However, honestly, it was not too hard for the judge to chose Lara among the other two answers.
Miss Spain's answer wasn't translated in the best way, but I think her choice to answer in Spanish was strategic. That being said, Lara's answer is the stuff of legends.
Spain said beauty pageant are not just about beauty its about raising our voices and opinion so whether beautiful or not we deserve to be heard and the pageants gives us a chance to be heard as beauty title holder
@@arshdeepsethi5569 well, in the interpreter's defense, Spain gave a fully complete answer without breaking it for the interpreter to give an accurate translation. In such a high energy environment and auspicious moment, who would be able to memorize all what she said and give an accurate translation?
I believe Spain's answer was much better than what was interpreted. She clearly looked disappointed by the translation however Miss India's answer was just so damn perfect. The crown was hers the moment she grabbed that microphone. Miss India all the way..
Absolutely. And even if the interpreter did translate her answer properly India would have still won and Spain would have been 1st runner up over Venezuela. India all the way perfection!
Actually spain , she said the answer In one go , I wish she would have paused a bit in between, because generally in paegentry , translators mess up the answers if it is in one go , if she would have paused I think her place would have been higher like 1st runner up , or in top 2, but Venezuela was also kinda good. I think All top 3 slayed the answers In their language , but for spain just the translator didn't did good job
India we have only two miss Universe but they both are our pride and one more thing In a week I listened her answer 9-10 times because I m addict... Love u ma'am... India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Actually I’d put Zozi ahead of Lara....then those like Wendy, Mpule and Chelsi and also Barbara Palacios Teyde. Catriona is a classic example of the Filipino effect.
Helen Lindes is my favorite Miss Spain of all time & she is very beautiful even up to thia day. That is why she even won Miss Photogenic here in Miss Universe. That interpreter didn’t give her justice! But Lara Dutta totally nailed it. She deserved her victory.
True, even today this question is quite hard, but there are many Q&A training in recent years that would makes many candidates able to answer this question now. But back in 2000, this question is totally unexpected, would really shock everyone(even the audience) especially under such a high pressure moment in the MU Top3. That is why India did remarkably well, in fact she was too good, her answer was almost ahead of its time. Still relevant and strong today.
No one could’ve even have come close ♥️ India always has such poised representatives that a killers in the question segments. Her demeanor reminds me of zozi - very confident and eloquent
1994 sushmita and 2000 lara yes i agree ...they were my favorite during their time...but of course in every year i have my own fav..in 2018 my favs are catriona and ms vietnam
It was incredible for Miss India to think that answer and deliver it flawlessly. She has the best record in the Miss universe history; And it’s no wonder why! Great personality, unconventional beauty, impeccable communication skills and approachable humble nature. She was a set apart from all the contestants. Congratulations to Miss India from America.
This is still the greatest answer in Miss Universe history.

I am so agree with this. very straight to the point. no cheesy, cliche and so pageantry words being used. the answers are full wisdom, very authentic not some kind of memorized answers.
Ok here goes the final round and to determine this based on how they responded to the question, so Spain now Portuguese is very similar to Spanish......the interpreter did not respond correctly but Spain did give a great response the interpreter didn't, Venezuela poor English language but the answer was ok....,India definitely on point and determined so in the end............👑India has tooken been determined 😎💯💖 In the end............ Miss Universe India 1st ru Spain 2nd ru Venezuela
Well it's 20 years, but these interpreters don't do full justice, India won Lara was awesome so calm collected absolutely bang on it looked as if she couldn't do anything wrong like so confident and at the same time elegant simply awesome👍👍👍👍 we are so proud of her and would always be Sushmita, Lara, Aishwarya, Priyanka, all made us so proud on the world stage.
Miss Spain´s translator destroyed her great answer. Based on the content she should´ve been at least first runner up. You can see Spain´s face of disappointment when she hears the translation...
nina ricci alagao should be in top 5...she is beautuful smart she cn easily nailed the question and answer portion.... in tagalog nangllamon sya ng mic
I feel so bad for Spain. You can see the disappointment in her face when she heard the interpreter translate her answer. She should have just answered it in English
Miss Thailand is more superior than Lara Dutta. This question can have a different answer applied today as the progress since has been quite obvious: "Beauty pageants are not what they used to be. Slowly but surely, beauty pageants will be and for women. We already get a platform to showcase our minds and potential by being presentable to look at, but pageants are slowly moving towards being organized for audiences who support and celebrate women. So they could no longer disrespect and objectify women in the future." Lara's answer while delivered well wasn't realistic. All beauty queens including herself end up in showbiz.
@@chinedumisco8582 the same way you think Venezuela is the prettiest is the same way I think Spain is the prettiest. It’s a matter of preference. Spain has features I like the most.
This was the question the very eloquent Miss Philippines, Nina Ricci Alagao would've answered far better than Lara Dutta of India had the former made it to the final round.
That’s why they didn’t include Nina in the semifinals. MU org fixed Lara to win. Lara was a favorite from the very beginning. But having Nina in the semifinals would give Lara a run for her money.
Spain and India both have similar answers. If Spain answer was only translated accurately. The difference was that India was more detailed and ate that mic with no crumbs.
India’s Lara Dutta totally slayed it. When she started speaking, I eventually knew she’s gonna win. A very quick wit and intelligence this woman possessed. Truly a beautiful package of beauty and brains.

Lara Dutta: the biggest mic drop moment in Miss Universe history. Amazing answer, amazing delivery.
Always smiling and the calmest Miss Universe ...
I don't know how many times I have listened her answer...to the point, without stutter, feel unrehearsed, precise and confident answer in the history of Miss Universe...
Huge respect for Ms. Lara Dutta...

Miss Spain's answer wasn't translated in the best way, but I think her choice to answer in Spanish was strategic. That being said, Lara's answer is the stuff of legends.
Even if Ms Spains interpreter did well, she wouldn't be able to come anywhere near to Lara's answer.
Spain said beauty pageant are not just about beauty its about raising our voices and opinion so whether beautiful or not we deserve to be heard and the pageants gives us a chance to be heard as beauty title holder
Ok...it is better she speaks in english.
That translator ruined it all..... Otherwise it was a good answer
@@arshdeepsethi5569 well, in the interpreter's defense, Spain gave a fully complete answer without breaking it for the interpreter to give an accurate translation. In such a high energy environment and auspicious moment, who would be able to memorize all what she said and give an accurate translation?
So in that case the placements should have been:
2nd Runner Up - Venezuela 🇻🇪
1st Runner Up - Spain 🇪🇸
Miss Universe 2000 - India 🇮🇳
if thats the translation, her answer would be second best.
Indian girls are way better than any contestant on miss universe so far if they get a chance to final q n a they will win
I believe Spain's answer was much better than what was interpreted. She clearly looked disappointed by the translation however Miss India's answer was just so damn perfect. The crown was hers the moment she grabbed that microphone. Miss India all the way..
Absolutely. And even if the interpreter did translate her answer properly India would have still won and Spain would have been 1st runner up over Venezuela. India all the way perfection!
Because she answer it straightly in Spanish before the interpreter translate it in English
She should answer 1 sentence then stop for her interpreter to translate
Actually spain , she said the answer In one go , I wish she would have paused a bit in between, because generally in paegentry , translators mess up the answers if it is in one go , if she would have paused I think her place would have been higher like 1st runner up , or in top 2, but Venezuela was also kinda good.
I think All top 3 slayed the answers
In their language , but for spain just the translator didn't did good job
The most beautiful answer in the history of Universe Miss India
India we have only two miss Universe but they both are our pride and one more thing In a week I listened her answer 9-10 times because I m addict... Love u ma'am... India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Now it's 3🙂
Congratulations! Now you have three. All of them are the true beauty with brain
India is the absolute winner
After Lara, the most eloquent Miss Universe is Zozi....
@LP Ylanan zozi....nope cat
Actually I’d put Zozi ahead of Lara....then those like Wendy, Mpule and Chelsi and also Barbara Palacios Teyde. Catriona is a classic example of the Filipino effect.
Exactly...
I agree
@LP Ylanan zozi is better speaker than Cat
When it comes to Question Answer round I don't think any country can beat Indian Girl's...💜😘
And Lara Dutta is Best Example of this...😘
BTS INDIAN Army YES 1994 sushmita and 2000 lara i agree...
And now harnaz sandhu
In 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu! 👸🇮🇳
Helen Lindes is my favorite Miss Spain of all time & she is very beautiful even up to thia day. That is why she even won Miss Photogenic here in Miss Universe. That interpreter didn’t give her justice! But Lara Dutta totally nailed it. She deserved her victory.
India was perfect♥️
That’s why she win Miss U, great answer, very intellectual, full confidence in her.
going back here because india won today after 21 years!!
There's no debate here that India nailed it! Spain and Columbia needed mount everest to climb on to get the crown literally.
goosebumps with Lara's answer.
Miss Universe 👑 India

If I was the judge my decision.
I think this was the most Difficult Question Asked in the History of Miss Universe

Just see 1995 miss India's answer once buddy.....
1997 Brooke lee is best... Nd dayana mendoza response was far better than demi.
India did give the best answer.
The wittiest Miss Universe ever
Venezuela heard how bad the translator was with Miss Spain, so she took the English approach and was amazing
While miss Spain answering the question,miss Venezuela was wearing sound proof headphone .
@@michaelsonortega2387 body language, u could tell the translator was like stuttering by her hand movements
Lara was miles ahead and truly so !!
Lara is the defination of Miss Universe..
Lara is a beautiful person from heart and extremely talented

Well it's 20 years, but these interpreters don't do full justice, India won Lara was awesome so calm collected absolutely bang on it looked as if she couldn't do anything wrong like so confident and at the same time elegant simply awesome👍👍👍👍 we are so proud of her and would always be Sushmita, Lara, Aishwarya, Priyanka, all made us so proud on the world stage.
Spain is so pretty! And i think the commentators understand her spanish that is why they said that the interpreter didn't properly translated it.
Venezuela is still the prettiest amongst those last 3
Every Indian watching this knows she was probably practicing questions with her parents for years lol
Is anyone here can translate what ms.spain really said? I can see from her face shes disappointed with how her answer translated
1st Runner up and 2nd Runner up are same faces? Twins?
3:58 periodt queen, she knew she ate that up 🤩✨
Miss Spain´s translator destroyed her great answer. Based on the content she should´ve been at least first runner up. You can see Spain´s face of disappointment when she hears the translation...
Buena respuesta? Jajaa
2 hispanic women! Venezuela and Spain beatiful, and also india nice
Still no one comes near to Lara when we talk about q&a.
Poor Spain. She looked very hopeless and disappointed after hearing her interpretation.
Mala la traducción
Bad translation
Translator killed her. However, Miss India did her best.
X eso gano lara x su belleza e inteligencia gano y las aplasto!
Inidia the best that year
the best Q&A in the MU History
Lara just flew❤what an answer
India was unbeatable
Beautiful Ms. Spain
Lara👑👑👑👑👑👑❤❤❤❤
Goosebumps 🇮🇳
No doubt about it that India deserved it
❤❤ Lara 😘
nina ricci alagao should be in top 5...she is beautuful smart she cn easily nailed the question and answer portion....
in tagalog nangllamon sya ng mic
La traductora no ayudo mucho a España resumió su respuesta mejor debió responder en inglés....debió quedar 1 finalista España x respuesta y belleza..
With her answer and demeanor Ms. Dutta transcended the concept of the beauty pageant.
I feel so bad for Spain. You can see the disappointment in her face when she heard the interpreter translate her answer. She should have just answered it in English
Venezuela's Claudia Morena also deserved to win. Imagine if she won and crowned Denise Quiñones.
Spain so beautiful
The Canarian accent from Spain is similar to the Cuban accent. I like that
Spain is not wearing earrings. What a pity no budget for jewelry from a rich country.
Miss Thailand is more superior than Lara Dutta. This question can have a different answer applied today as the progress since has been quite obvious:
"Beauty pageants are not what they used to be. Slowly but surely, beauty pageants will be and for women. We already get a platform to showcase our minds and potential by being presentable to look at, but pageants are slowly moving towards being organized for audiences who support and celebrate women. So they could no longer disrespect and objectify women in the future."
Lara's answer while delivered well wasn't realistic. All beauty queens including herself end up in showbiz.
India the best ever answer
Spain is most beautiful.
India for me
India..she hold Miss Intercontinental before. She come to Cyprus just to claim her MU title. Other compete 1st RU position.
Venezuela for me
Que mala la traducción de la respuesta de miss españa… Claramente la perjudico en el resultado final. España debió ser primera finalista
Could you please translate what she said and translate it for us?
Por su propia culpa! Leí en otro foro q su mamá es británica. Entonces ¿por qué no habló inglés?
Venezuela q respondio un disparate. Divagaba y decia las mismas palabrass
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The interpreter was awful...
Spain was by far the prettiest woman there and for that reason alone I would’ve have put her first LOL
She looked like Keira Knightley 😍😍😍
Prettier than Venezuela here?👀
How do you define beauty?
@@chinedumisco8582 the same way you think Venezuela is the prettiest is the same way I think Spain is the prettiest. It’s a matter of preference. Spain has features I like the most.
pretty in the eye of beholder u sore loser
First coment
Kung nakafazok Lang c Philippines malamang tatalunin Sha ni Nina ricci alagao
In your dreams! She is not even close to intelligence of Lara! Loser
I personally think miss Spain answer are better than miss India..it's just my opinion
Nice joke🤣🤣🤣🤣
Miss Spain answer was great but India's answer was just phenomenal..
Yes, keep telling yourself that. 😂😂😂😂😂
Take Venezuela and Spain, very beautiful, but India looks very ordinary, dressed up
Its all about beuty with brain😅
East or west india is the best..
You are blind
This was the question the very eloquent Miss Philippines, Nina Ricci Alagao would've answered far better than Lara Dutta of India had the former made it to the final round.
Lol
But shes not in the top 3 so case dismissed
lol..
move on girl it has been 2 decades!
Lara is a far better speaker and Nina is ugly just like most of your country's winners
That’s why they didn’t include Nina in the semifinals. MU org fixed Lara to win. Lara was a favorite from the very beginning. But having Nina in the semifinals would give Lara a run for her money.
Spain and India both have similar answers. If Spain answer was only translated accurately. The difference was that India was more detailed and ate that mic with no crumbs.
