This was my all time FAVORITE Miss America pageant! I still remember this like it was yesterday. This was when I knew I wanted to compete in pageants one day. After I watched her win, I started working on my Gifted & Talented project the very next day and it was about the Miss America pageant. LOL
Seriously this is probably the most honest and genuine reaction you will ever find....if the word "glee" could be put into a video it would be this moment
I love to see someone truly appreciate something they worked so hard for but truly didn't think/believe it was theirs until it happened. This is true gratuity for her moment. Makes me happy for her all over again and everytime I see it. She truly reveled in this moment and the suprise was priceless! GO GIRL!
she is the sweetest person you will ever meet.. she does so much in my state regarding the state pageant, even though she doesnt live there!! she deserved the title and to any racist people.. you dont know anything about her and where she is from. she is a wonderful woman and will go far in anything she hopes to do.
The very best edition of all Miss America pageant and Ericka deserves the title and the prize. Her priceless reaction is so much natural and awesome, why not because of the scholarship. What i like in this edition is that all candidates are friendly and not ao competing with each other. The organization in that year, the host and the format are amazing. And that is why this is the best!
Most hilarious crowning moment ever!!!! But let's be honest people, if you had just won a huge scholarship like that, wouldn't you be freaking out like that too? :D
Ericka's reaction was priceless and when she was announced the New Miss America the former Miss America has to crown her and quite couldn't get it done initially because Ericka was just besides herself.....soo funny (but very genuine).
I also thought Miss Maryland looked like Michelle Obama's! Her reaction is hilarious. I'm really enjoying watching Ericka on The Amazing Race, it was fun to see this!
Awesome moment in time. She is so sweet & I ran into her &her mom several times @ regalia in Orlando , where she got all her gowns. She was very supportive @ our muss gay Florida america pageants for female impersonation & came to watch her year prior to winning this. So much for being conservative! She was done up by a strong group of drag queens from orlando that winning year! Head to toe!
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa! I remember this crowning moment sooooo well! That Erica! She pretty much cheered like Quasimodo in "Hunchback", if you ask me! I just LOVE this crowning moment! : )
It is with sadness that I inform you that Florida's first Miss America, Eva Leanza Cornett (known by her middle name), Miss America 1993, passed away recently from injuries resulting from a fall in her home in Jacksonville, Florida. She was 49 years old. Condolences to her family.
Not sure if she was the leader, or favorite going into the finals, but what she did live that night, winning talent and eveing gown sealed it for her. I thing Maryland was the strongest one going into the finals.

It’s funny they both won a major competition in 2004 but they’re reactions were pretty much the same lol. Both had earring, necklace or a bracelet fall off of them because they were jumping for joy over they’re win.
If the program is called Miss America (current year), how come it most times always airs in September of the previous year? Like was there some false advertisement tactic I missed?
This made me cry. The first black woman and it was only 3 years ago. I wish I could remember seeing it when it first aired. Is that Tyrese singing "There She Is, Miss America"?
She is able to turn her scholarship into cash at the end of her reign and she earns money for every one of her appearances so that at the end of her reign she earns about $250,000 to $300,000 after taxes.
she is my homeroom and English teacher this year
seriously?
Shannon Figler really
Nice!
stunning beautiful woman.
No way!
I remember watching this pageant on TV, and I just love that part when Erica Harold tries to crown Erica Dunlap! That's priceless! I was glad she won!
Beautiful moment when her parents received her at the end of the run way..

This made my heart light up so much! I couldn't help but cry tears of joy for her. I love to see people happy (dreams can come true)
I can watch this over & over again & I will always smile & laugh over Ericka Dunlap's reaction 2 being crowned Miss America 2004.

Seriously this is probably the most honest and genuine reaction you will ever find....if the word "glee" could be put into a video it would be this moment
What a way to make her crowning moment memorable!!!
She was so surprised and excited, A great reaction. She was beautiful and talented. Ms. Hawaii was so beautiful also. Thanks for the post.
I could not help but cry inside when I saw Erica's parents come on the stage.
I imagine how proud they were that day of their daughter.
Awwww she was so happy!!

She looked so beautiful as she took her walk especially when she put the yellow rose in her head.

Her Crowning Is Undoubtedly The Funniest,Greatest Crowning EVER! Her Reactions and What she Said Was Great!!
Best reaction ever! Priceless!
She sounds like Halle Berry when she won her Academy Award. Their voices sound similar.
Yass
One of my favorite Miss Americas! ❤️
This is by far my favorite reaction.
the one year I watched. I remember Ericka was poised and together........until this moment. It was funny, genuine and entertaining, the entire thing.
Most hilarious crowning moment ever!!!! But let's be honest people, if you had just won a huge scholarship like that, wouldn't you be freaking out like that too? :D
Very deserving
I knew her in High School. Very smart woman.
I love her reaction! It is one of the most memorable. The other would be Miss USA 1982 Terri Utley.
Ericka's reaction was priceless and when she was announced the New Miss America the former Miss America has to crown her and quite couldn't get it done initially because Ericka was just besides herself.....soo funny (but very genuine).
i love her
I love the part when she say I'm going to Disney ahahah
I also thought Miss Maryland looked like Michelle Obama's! Her reaction is hilarious. I'm really enjoying watching Ericka on The Amazing Race, it was fun to see this!
She raced with her then-husband Brian Kleinschmidt.
Pure, unadulterated joy....
The crowd really liked Ms Maryland that year.
Great reaction of any pageant winner.
One of my very favorite Miss Americas! ❤️❤️❤️
Una de las reacciones más hermosas de todos los tiempos en los concursos de belleza !❤
So beautiful, so graceful, so poised- until they called her name!!!!!! Then all bets were off!!!!!!!

Don't forget about the 1991 winner Marjorie Vincent, and the 1994 winner Kimberly Aiken.
can be competitive with miss botswana 1999
She looks like a dark skin Beyonce to me just stunning black beauty!
now she is a happy queen up and down
Me winning something
Wow i love her
She lost all that poise in Czech Republic when someone tried to take her beer LOL!
I’m so glad they don’t shove the mic in their face right after winning anymore. Let them have their moment to freak lol
This reminds me of when Fantasia won American Idol. Love these moments.
It’s funny they both won a major competition in 2004 but they’re reactions were pretty much the same lol. Both had earring, necklace or a bracelet fall off of them because they were jumping for joy over they’re win.
This one was at least a good choice. We’re still mystified about the fantasia thing
Oh lighten up. I'd be saying that in my head if i was trying to crown her.
YAY! I went to both High School and College with her!!!!
*Officer...................................There she is*
RIP Mr. Paul Mooney, and thank you for speaking TRUTH 🙏🏼
she dropped her earring! That was THE BEST!!!!!
she's so natural .. liked her reaction lol
If the program is called Miss America (current year), how come it most times always airs in September of the previous year? Like was there some false advertisement tactic I missed?
i just meet her today at my class
2:09 priceless moments
Did you hear the Boo's when Miss Maryland was named 3rd runner up!
Maybe because she's could've won the maybe
she's gonna be on the amazing race 15!
the young slim black women can win mainstream beauty contests👠🇺🇸!
Nice her parents on runway.
This is a really raction, Ericka don't wait it. Oh my goooood!!!!😢😢😢
This is the only miss America from before 2008 that is on TH-cam
I would have just handed her the crown. Damn stay still
This made me cry. The first black woman and it was only 3 years ago. I wish I could remember seeing it when it first aired. Is that Tyrese singing "There She Is, Miss America"?
I went to High School with her!!!! Go Ericka!!!!!
She is able to turn her scholarship into cash at the end of her reign and she earns money for every one of her appearances so that at the end of her reign she earns about $250,000 to $300,000 after taxes.
By far she the only African American to won the miss America pageant
jejejejejeje, que emocion la de esta mujer
Hopefully in the next century someone will figure out the bobbi-pin fiasco. My God, they've been trying since 1938! 😅
who threw her that flower? was the apart of the show or she just so happen to catch it?!
Actually the 8th/9th whichever way you want to see it. There was Vanessa Williams and Suzette Charles who were crowned in 1984.
Completely agree! Actually of pagents all-time!
