dionieus. where can i find the complete score of all the contestants! coz you said that philippines is almost get the spot on the top ten? pls answer me!
Vi este certamen cuando era una niña, lo vi con mi tía y me dejo que me desvelará y yo quería que ganará Miss Venezuela, lucia como una hermosa Barbie y sus respuestas fueron sinceras. Creo que les robaron la corona en Miss Universo 1997 y 1998.
OMG! I noticed something bizaare! Notice the order of the announcement of TOP 10 of 1997 and 1994. Miss India was called 1st in both 94 and 97 Miss Venezuela was also called 2nd Miss USA was also called 5th Miss Italy was also called 6th Miss Sweden also was called 7th WOW! OF THE VERY SAME ORDER FOR THESE COUNTRIES What's the chance of coincidence???
Miss India Nafisa Joseph was a very warm intelligent and a considerate person, her suicide for her bad boyfriend who betrayed her was a wrong step but I know she must have gone through a storm of mental trouble.
The 2 best delegates for me here are Italy and Curacao, and they truly deserve the crown. It would have been more exciting seeing them battling it out in the top 3. Either of them would have been the most beautiful black miss universe ever. Denny is sooooo fierce! and Verna is soooo pretty!
Many Ms. Philippines in the 90's up to year 2000 sent in the Ms. Universe are potential winners but did not make the semi-finalists.Abigail Arenas (1997), Aileen Damiles (1996), Nina Ricci Alagao (2000)
The problem with Miss Venezuela was that she never thought she would get that far being that Miss Venezuela Alicia Machado was the current Miss Universe, so she was a bit too shy and perhaps lame, but she was beautiful indeed. I do not think Brook was ugly, but certainly not the most beautiful. She joined the MU winners that while not being the most beautiful they won the judges over with their personality & poise, such as Chile 87, Namibia 92, Botswana 99, Japan 2007, Venezuela 2008 & 2009.
Verna Vasquez from Curaçao should have to won!She was beautiful. I am so proud of her because she make our island very proud. Verna, danki pa representa Korsou!
Yeah, it was a very close race. At least Miss Philippines won Miss Photogenic. Curacao, Italy, and Panama were my top three but they were all cut from the top 3! :(
Ese año era de Venezuela completamente, ALici entregaba corona, A Irene Saez (MU 1981) Le entregan un reconocimiento como la miss universo mas bella, y Marena primera finalista del certanmen (injustamente).
those replaced were: 3rd - 94: Greece.. 97: Pto Rico 4th - 94: Switzerland 97: T&T 8th - 94: Slovak rep 97: Curacao 9th - 94: Philippines 97: Panama 10th - 94: Colombia 97: Estonia I also noticed a continental swap... folowwing also the same order and logic 3 Europeans (GREECE, SWITZ, SLOVAK) in 94, replaced with 3 Carribeans (T&T, PR, Curacao) Lone Asian (PHILIPPINES) replaced with lone Central American (PANAMA) and a South American (COLOMBIA) with a European (ESTONIA)
Estoy de acuerdo, la de Panama y Curacao eran muy hermosas y tenian donaire de Miss universo. Que lastima que ninguna gano! Pero la chica de USA tenia personalidad!
margot was absolutly stunning here, a better final answer and it would of been hers but we took it the next year and believe me we'll take it again soon.
Miss Philippines Abbygale Williamson Arenas missed the cut by a measly point to India's Nafisa Joseph. It would have been very exciting seeing her in the top 10.
Nafisa was a beautiful woman who had so much going for her. She must really have low self-esteem to kill herself over some guy who doesn't even measure up to her caliber!
Sorry, but Miss Curacao should have won that day, cause she won: the best body/swimsuit, she had the best scores in night dress. She had the best scores in almost everything. I think she was to nervous in the interviews....
fijate que no era la mejor pero si la mas inteligente, MU se vio afectado ese año porque Alicia Machado subió de peso y la organizacion MU cambio de dueño, optaron por miss USA para demostrarle al mundo que en el MU la inteligencia cuenta mas que la belleza y, por ende, pulir los contratos de las misses que ahora firman una clausula donde no subiran de peso.
noone considers it an insult, we are mulatos not black therefore we like to be called what we are, either latinos, mulatos or just dominicans, i doubt shes pure black or african, 73% of ppl in my country are mixed, or mulatos, 11% black and 16% white or european and aquerius23 why are u being so sarcastic and mean spirited, we are simply explaining what dominicans are, just that dominican, we have too many different races mixed to be called black or white but the term that fits is mulato.
Quien los manda a tener perosnalidades tan poco destacadas en el mundo que no son tomadas en cuenta para ser jurado, los venezolanos no los imponen los buscan por ser destacados, ademas que un solo miembro no tiene potestad suficiente para elegir a la ganadora. POBRE ARGUMENTO para intentar justificar sus DERROTAS!!!
PANAMA DEBIÓ GANAR ESA MISS USA, NADA QUE VER, SOLO QUE ERA CARISMATICA CON SU SONRISA PEROEN FIN, MISS PANAMA NO GANÓ AQUI PERO GANÓ EL III CONCURSO MAS IMPORTANTE ESE AÑO EN MISS INTERNATCIONAL EN TOKIO JAPO....VIVA LIA VIVA MISS PANAMA
estoy de acuerdo....miss curacao era la mejor.!!!no se q factores externos se manejen en este concurso ..pero la verdad miss usa estaba horrible...nada q ver con un concurso de BELLEZA!!!!..
las mejores de cara son: Panama, Sweeden y Venezuela, las demás de este top 10 estaban fatal incluyendo a USA quien es extremedamente horrible! aunque le reconozco la astucia para ganarse el concurso.
Gracias por la respuesta y que Dios la tenga en sus brazos
RIP Miss India Nafisa Joseph. Beautiful, elegant and eloquent!
dionieus. where can i find the complete score of all the contestants! coz you said that philippines is almost get the spot on the top ten? pls answer me!
There's no doubt Miss Venezuela was very beautiful. Minutes later she became the 1st runner up.
Vi este certamen cuando era una niña, lo vi con mi tía y me dejo que me desvelará y yo quería que ganará Miss Venezuela, lucia como una hermosa Barbie y sus respuestas fueron sinceras.
Creo que les robaron la corona en Miss Universo 1997 y 1998.

Miss India was called 1st in both 94 and 97
Miss Venezuela was also called 2nd
Miss USA was also called 5th
Miss Italy was also called 6th
Miss Sweden also was called 7th
WOW! OF THE VERY SAME ORDER FOR THESE COUNTRIES
What's the chance of coincidence???
me perdona pero a donde dejas a curacao
@2010mrbrasil ..es verdad lo de mis India ?o solo es una mala broma....
Miss India Nafisa Joseph was a very warm intelligent and a considerate person, her suicide for her bad boyfriend who betrayed her was a wrong step but I know she must have gone through a storm of mental trouble.
The venezuelan contestants deserve a *permanent spot* among the top ten finalists for continuous efforts over the years
??/ What happened to Nafisa?
One of the best top 10 ever
The 2 best delegates for me here are Italy and Curacao, and they truly deserve the crown. It would have been more exciting seeing them battling it out in the top 3. Either of them would have been the most beautiful black miss universe ever. Denny is sooooo fierce! and Verna is soooo pretty!
Did anybody notice that 1994 and 1997 has the same order of semifinalists?
1. India
2. Venezuela
5. USA
6. Italy
7. Sweden
Philippines was 11th. India scored 8.96, Philippines barely missed it she got an 8.95
Venezuela hermosisisima
RIP Miss India Nafisa Joseph

Did she die? How?
Verna Vasquez from Curaçao should have to won!She was beautiful. I am so proud of her because she make our island very proud.
Verna, danki pa representa Korsou!
i agree curacar and trinidad & tobago is amazing a nice top 10
Yeah, it was a very close race. At least Miss Philippines won Miss Photogenic. Curacao, Italy, and Panama were my top three but they were all cut from the top 3! :(
when she died and what was the reason?
Ese año era de Venezuela completamente, ALici entregaba corona, A Irene Saez (MU 1981) Le entregan un reconocimiento como la miss universo mas bella, y Marena primera finalista del certanmen (injustamente).
R.I.P. Nafisa!
Miss Venezuela , sem dúvida era a mais linda desse ano, naturalmente era a campeã!
ese año estvueron regularonas nomas las misses!!!, simpaticas pero ninguno wow!! me simpatisaba mucho miss italia.
@boricua15able gracias por la informacion..es una triste noticia
those replaced were:
3rd - 94: Greece.. 97: Pto Rico
4th - 94: Switzerland 97: T&T
8th - 94: Slovak rep 97: Curacao
9th - 94: Philippines 97: Panama
10th - 94: Colombia 97: Estonia
I also noticed a continental swap... folowwing also the same order and logic
3 Europeans (GREECE, SWITZ, SLOVAK) in 94, replaced with 3 Carribeans (T&T, PR, Curacao)
Lone Asian (PHILIPPINES) replaced with lone Central American (PANAMA)
and a South American (COLOMBIA) with a European (ESTONIA)
Estoy de acuerdo, la de Panama y Curacao eran muy hermosas y tenian donaire de Miss
universo. Que lastima que ninguna gano! Pero la chica de USA tenia personalidad!
Actually she was 5 when she moved to Italy with her mother and her mother married an Italian.
Yupz... whoever he was, he stunk.
Curacao indeed had the best body line and is a stunner
margot was absolutly stunning here, a better final answer and it would of been hers but we took it the next year and believe me we'll take it again soon.
RIP Miss India
no puede ser hasta hoy no entiendo como miss colombia no entro
Miss Philippines Abbygale Williamson Arenas missed the cut by a measly point to India's Nafisa Joseph. It would have been very exciting seeing her in the top 10.
Contrary to what u and others think there's no doubt that Brooke took that title. She deserved to be Miss Universe.
Nafisa was a beautiful woman who had so much going for her. She must really have low self-esteem to kill herself over some guy who doesn't even measure up to her caliber!
Miss Curacao was the leading contestant in the competition but she failed to answer properly later on
so far the best from curacao
Curacao y Venezuela eran absolutamente las más bellas... U.S.A. era tan simplona, Marena super imponente!!
Curacao should have won. But like Carolina Iszak in 1992, she got screwed up by the judges question and placed 4th, so she got cut of of the final 3.
what a shame? do you know the reasons?
Best delegates this evening were Curacao, Italy and Panama...no doubt!
Verna Vasquez Representa (Korsou)Curacao mane e mester wordu di representa,Wak kon lew nos a jega pa un Isla chikitu dushi bo ta hasi...
Ariba Venezuela!!
Miss Curacao was exquisite.
ohhhhhhh Miss Italia q cuerpaso! el mejor que he visto.
La chica de USA no era la mejor. Que paso en este 1997 MU?
No hay duda que LIA VICTORIA, debió haber ganado ese año, definitivamente!, Aunque Curacao tambien estaba bien!
Estonia is a doll!
Miss USA......ella tenia todo!! Belleza, intelectualidad, personalidad...por eso gano.......ustedes envidiosos!!
@090783 You are so right!
la representante de India se suicidó en 2004 al romper con su prometido al enterarse que era casado tenia 25 años cuando murió
Miss Curacao muy bella.
who???india??realy??sorry!!!!
Miss Curacao the BOMB in 1997 !!
Sorry, but Miss Curacao should have won that day, cause she won: the best body/swimsuit, she had the best scores in night dress. She had the best scores in almost everything. I think she was to nervous in the interviews....
fijate que no era la mejor pero si la mas inteligente, MU se vio afectado ese año porque Alicia Machado subió de peso y la organizacion MU cambio de dueño, optaron por miss USA para demostrarle al mundo que en el MU la inteligencia cuenta mas que la belleza y, por ende, pulir los contratos de las misses que ahora firman una clausula donde no subiran de peso.

WOW PUERTO RICO ES BELLISIMA
RIP Miss India. I heard that she committed suicide a few years ago. I hope that you are happy in heaven
Como muchas gringas que meten en el top 15 de MU y uno no sabe como las dejaron meterse en miss USA
yeah, estonia.
@Seraphim1585
Philippines should have been in this top 10.
Estonia is so fun!
Marena was the best ...
Usa ...big mouth...so much
trinidad era un portento de mujer!
Like my African instructor told me during an African history class: "Black is not popular"
I saw a source that Nafisa committed suicide in 1998 when she and her ex-fiance fought and broke up.
noone considers it an insult, we are mulatos not black therefore we like to be called what we are, either latinos, mulatos or just dominicans, i doubt shes pure black or african, 73% of ppl in my country are mixed, or mulatos, 11% black and 16% white or european and aquerius23 why are u being so sarcastic and mean spirited, we are simply explaining what dominicans are, just that dominican, we have too many different races mixed to be called black or white but the term that fits is mulato.
She is a black latina from Dominican Republic.
He would of been a great host if he didn't mess up on his words!
India
Why did she came out of the grave to compete in this pageant? I think u got the year of her suicide mixed up.
italyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
lol i agree, so funny when he announced miss venezuela in boring like fashion then yelled her name after the audience cheered...
Miss Venezuela la mejor de todas le robaron la corona y Miss Estonia simplillanamente espectacular
Philippines is Top 11 at that time.
I mean in 2004, sorry!
la que tuvo que ganar era Curacao
CURACAO OR OR ITALY SHOULD HAVE WON, VERNA AND DENNY WERE GODDESSES
Quien los manda a tener perosnalidades tan poco destacadas en el mundo que no son tomadas en cuenta para ser jurado, los venezolanos no los imponen los buscan por ser destacados, ademas que un solo miembro no tiene potestad suficiente para elegir a la ganadora. POBRE ARGUMENTO para intentar justificar sus DERROTAS!!!
miss ali harb!!!
latina duh!!
Sin dudar Miss Venezuela era Miss Universo le robaron descaradamente la corona Miss Italia espectacular, Miss Curazao y Miss Panama
omg... This can't be true
Denny Mendez is mixed , and she's beautiful , after she made the top 10 @ miss universe , italian start to accept & love her...
PANAMA DEBIÓ GANAR ESA MISS USA, NADA QUE VER, SOLO QUE ERA CARISMATICA CON SU SONRISA PEROEN FIN, MISS PANAMA NO GANÓ AQUI PERO GANÓ EL III CONCURSO MAS IMPORTANTE ESE AÑO EN MISS INTERNATCIONAL EN TOKIO JAPO....VIVA LIA VIVA MISS PANAMA
italy was the best!!!!!
Panama should have WON.
estoy de acuerdo....miss curacao era la mejor.!!!no se q factores externos se manejen en este concurso ..pero la verdad miss usa estaba horrible...nada q ver con un concurso de BELLEZA!!!!..
colombia merecia entrar en lugar de estonia
Curacao should have win, but she was too insecure!
Miss Curaçao All The Way...☺
Estonia & Venezuela eran sencillamente espectaculares.
Estados Unidos gano por lo de siempre, favoritismo e influencias.
las mejores de cara son: Panama, Sweeden y Venezuela, las demás de este top 10 estaban fatal incluyendo a USA quien es extremedamente horrible! aunque le reconozco la astucia para ganarse el concurso.
for me
MU 1997: ITALY
1st runner up: Curacao
2nd runner up: Venezuela
