5 SIGNS THAT PAGEANTRY IS SLOWLY DYING

[@angalamat1030]

I think hindi nman namatay ang pageantry specifically the MU nag bago lang ang interest ng mainstream media now that the owner is no longer American. Plus andami nadin kasing source of entertainment now a days dati nung wala pang internet and other platforms pageants, sports tv sitcoms telenovelas news and talkshows lang napapanuod. now we have varieties of entertainment shows available to watch any tine any days on different platforms we have Netflix, We have reality tv shows Only fans name it these are all available to cater different audience.

[@justinemarin16]

To be fair, Mikimoto did create crowns for both MU and MI when pageantry was popular. I just wish Long Beach Pearl made the MI and ME crowns more distinct from each other. The Mikimoto crowns were iconic and memorable. I think pageantry will survive but mostly in Southeast Asia and Latin America where the fans are thriving. It would be a long shot trying to revive the patronage in countries like the US or European countries

[@Adeoca2]

Americans are no longer interested in beauty pageants anymore. We are living in different times now. The world has evolved. The Miss America and Miss USA Pageants went from being on Network TV to online streaming services or KZbin. I give pageantry another 10 more years before it ends in society.

I was actually very happy about this years MU winner because i think she very marketing and can earn money to the organization! But the drought of resoruces the organization has hasnt given alot of spotlight in a way to Sheynnis, they have to stepo it up because if sheynnis get drssed way better that girl can earn lots of money, shes pretty has an amazing body and very unique

[@mulaflaga9684]

It's sad because in 2 years of MU in JKN, there were many controversies and the winners of 2022 and 2023 didn't have much exposure.

[@onacanilao]

RBonney had a LOT of exposure, haven’t you been keeping up? And RBonney’s time still had Paula, it wasn’t 100% JKN, and she was staying in NYC too.

[@desqua2497]

Rbonny literally had the best reign since Catriona. She was treated like a celebrity, traveled the world and even went to paris fashion week. Her runner ups/top 16 followed her sometimes and she had a great wardrobe. She spent her time between Thailand and New york and is easily one of the best miss universe in recent years

[@LAUGHINGBUDDHAVORTEX]

I love you videos Adam, basically this topic can be summed up as USA has lost interest in MU, as it has with Award Shows, and the Victoria Secret show. The emphasis here now is more about the common people. However, MUO will always exist with great success outside the USA especially in developing countries. That’s just a fact.

Here are my mixed thoughts: 1) Why does Miss France get 7.5 million viewers on average? 2) Anne had said she would bring the top 3 to live in Thailand and sell a water drink among other things, what happened with this? 3) But YES they are dying, did you catch AMAZING @Daniwalker discuss now there are NO scheduled 2024 pageants?! That some directors have quit? 4) All these new players just seem to try and SQUEEZE franchise holders and PISS them off - instead of coming up with other innovative ideas. 5) We were told 1 BILLION people were watching Miss Universe, but only US ratings matter? 6) Adam I agree with everything you said but - a lot of this seems like POOR management and bad decisions to take the blame as well! What about having a Miss Universe channel and people can pay to hang out over video and have a live chat sometimes?!??! I mean get creative more than trying to SUCK ppl dry that have been loyal for years. and i could go ON AND ON

[@josephlim6854]

Miss France is always held in December every year on the Saturday a week or two before Christmas.

[@GlossyJoyMiralles]

I like you analysis.

[@desqua2497]

Miss france is older than Miss universe and is a true tradition among several families in France each December. It is broadcasted on the biggest network in europe and the show is spectacular. It is not only a regular pageant but rather a spectacle (it doesn’t focus on the competition and catwalk/speech aspect as much thought its important). Most people who watch are not even fans of pageantry in general but average people who like the production. Also, the queen gets a better reign than miss universe herself, she has gift and instantly becomes a celebrity in France. The girl is then set for life. Unlike other pageants like the miss universe/world etc…franchises in which the queens are only selected for the sole purpose of competing for miss universe.

[@tommyotommy]

Miss USA is having issues too. None of the states have scheduled their individual pageants either.

[@kpopbisdak8398]

One more point is also that despite having big two miss world and Miss universe lots of new peagent debut every year because there are so many peagents there is no uniqueness left 😂

[@heyadamg3705]

True ka dyan!!!!

[@jjmac83]

Point 1. In terms of broadcasting: to be fair, a whole New generation of viewers prefer online platforms - and the future of television is in streaming. Point 2. Trump was amazing with PR and his leadership of organisation is reflective of that. He left a legacy for MGI to follow which might not have been carried out by the current ownership. The issue is perhaps because it’s not led by an experienced team. Point 3. MW is an utterly outdated boring pageant. If it completely dies out, I don’t think it will be missed. Point 4. I think it’s a question of affordability. I honestly think the crowns have always been rented more than they are sponsored. The global increased inflation might be a factor in this. Point 5. Pageantry has been in decline for years. Part of it is because it’s highly favouring only a handful of countries year after year and is therefore highly predictable. Not to mention Most of its viewers are also from developing countries who can’t afford much so what’s the point of even shelling out glamorous business ventures?

[@heyadamg3705]

Great insights 👆🙌

[@heyadamg3705]

About Point 5: See? All the more Miss Universe has to be back in mainstream tv network in the US to lure Americans or people with more high purchasing power to “invest” or spend for Miss Universe. Kasi my point here especially for a point 1: MUO, at the end of the day, is still an American company and so it would be best if their own countrymen are still patronizing their brand before they branch out overseas for more money or funds to come in

[@heyadamg3705]

Point 4: I wish both ME and MI sticked to their old crowns becuase those were unique in design and distinctive. Had Long Beach Pearl made different crowns for both, I would not have included this on my content

[@archsword2446]

Ecosia search engine, WWF, Save our Seas foundation and Carousel should work together to attract more sponsors such as renewable energy companies, pet food giants, vet hospital systems, vet pharma companies and that Ecosia will plant 10, 000 trees to the winning country as part of her price to make the pageant relevant.

I am not even a die hard fan of any of the pageants just only a slight fan that watch out of boredom or just for fast time. However, when I tried to watch those videos about those contests in which the Philippines' got only the first runner ups. When I watch the video in Q and A, the Philippines really stood out. Their candidates were brilliant and intelligent. However, when the result came out that they got only the first runner ups, it felt like it's unfair. I really thought that the Philippines got robbed out, because they really stood out than the winner. But, after all, it's on the judges' decision after all. Then I watch the Q and A of the winners of those 20 plus crowns the Philippines had won, they were really deserving to win. The Beauty pageant training mechanism in the Philippines might be really out of this world.

[@pharmatrix14singer]

Hi Sir Adam. I believe that the one pageant that is starting to be irrelevant is Miss Universe. Miss International, Miss World and Miss Earth are still great pageants. Great thing the three stick to their brand, advocacy, values and prestige. Miss Universe however is slowly becoming a joke because of its new owner and the way they implement the rules. If you watched Miss Universe during the Trump and IMG Era, it was really prestigious and beautiful. When Khun Anne entered the management, the pageant became a complete circus. It is not the same Miss Universe anymore. It lost its glamour, its prestige, its reputation as the best pageant in the world, the universe rather. Don't get me wrong, I have high respects for LGBTQIA members and I have lots of friends in this community same with the mothers wives, plus size, any age, etc. BUT they should have their own pageant specifically made for them. I know inclusivity is great but to the point that the brand is being tarnished and made into a circus is not the thing we want to see in Miss Universe. It is MISS, for single, natural born women only. NOT MIX UNIVERSE. My heart goes to Miss Earth Pageant, our very own PH based pageant which is fair and square compared to Miss Universe nowadays.

The relevance of beauty pageants today is a subject of ongoing debate. Beauty pageants have been criticized for various reasons, including perpetuating narrow standards of beauty, objectifying women, and reinforcing gender stereotypes. However, proponents argue that these events can provide opportunities for personal development, talent showcasing, and philanthropy. In recent years, there has been a shift in some pageants towards emphasizing qualities such as intelligence, social awareness, and community service. Organizations have also taken steps to promote diversity and inclusivity, attempting to move away from solely focusing on physical appearance. Ultimately, opinions on the relevance of beauty pageants vary. Some people view them as outdated and potentially harmful, while others see them as evolving platforms that can empower individuals and contribute to positive social change. The perception of beauty pageants largely depends on one's values, beliefs, and priorities.

If we want to preserve pageantry, we should establish pageantry as a strong niche. We should accept the fact that we will not be as popular and mainstream anymore, instead we should develop pageantry as a niche, but with a strong global following. Hence, this is why social media presence is very important. Pageantry is still anchored on that archaic traditional television broadcasting system and pageantry simply needs to keep up with the times. I mean, they are keeping up with the times, but in a way that it is ineffective. People can see through the actual intent of things so obviously, they won't buy that inclusion and empowerment thing. Pageantry should instead focus on capitalizing its current audience rather than appealing to newer ones, otherwise it will not be sustainable.

[@capt.unohana]

Pageantry is dying. One many reasons is MGI's penetration to mainstream media through meme culture. The platform is materializing the critiques of pageantry pessimists through their irrelevant actions. The same people our OG pageant queens and enthusiasts are fighting against ever since.

Good job Adam. You are ruffling a lot of feathers which means that there it truth in what you are saying.

[@miss.paula1111]

I used to LOVE pagenats. I used to dream about being a beauty queen. Whenever I would encounter haters, I would defend pageantry with all my heart. However, my perception changed when I became a state title holder for a Big 4 pageant. Long story short, I left pageantry because: 1) the financial consequences. It was very expensive to compete at a national competition and I'm still digging myself out to this day. Everything was paid for by out of pocket. 2) misleading: as a model and a professional in marketing, "sponsors" = businesses that pay you to advertise. In pageant world, "sponsors" = businesses that the contestants PAY to and advertise. The businesses get free advertising AND money from the contestants. All the while, the general public thinks that it's the other way around. 3. Predatory leaders: the people who benefit of contestant's hard work are the coaches, the "sponsors", the boutiques, the hmua, the directors, etc... i was given very terrible financial advice from a coach whose friend was benefiting from said advice. Fortunately, i saw right through it. 4. Beauty standards: while there's plenty of little minor pageants that have normal looking winners, when was the last time you saw an international winner look like a normal woman? They're all gorgeous, tall, slim, hourglass shaped, with narrow noses, almond eyes, perfect vaneers, etc. So many title holders get plastic surgery to have that look. Place queens side by side, and you'll notice that they all start to look the same. Even the girl who won my competition started getting cosmetic procedures after she won. As a state title holder, she talked about embracing her natural beauty and loving herself as she was 5. They nickel and dime contestants. $1,000 entry fee, $500 fee for the opening number, $300 mandatory donation fee, $100 people's choice contest minimum requirement, etc. Who gets to see this money? Why are they asking for so much? 6. I never received my prize package for my state competition. 7. Unrealistic prize packages... $10,000 **worth** of prizes! Wow! I hope my landlord accepts this pretty dress as my rent payment! Im sure the grocery store will accept these plastic rhinestone earings in exchange for food! Meanwhile, I invested real cash into this competition. More than what these prizes are worth Those are my issues with pageantry as a former suoer fan and contestant

Alternatively, it can also be argued that pageantry has become a niched market. Parang yung mga indie films/bands. They are not popular to the general audience but they are popular to their small but highly devoted fans. To appeal to a broader audience, a pageant must have a higher purpose (aka a solid advocacy like ME). To appeal to the solid fans of pageantry, it needs to have glamour (HD, camera angle like MGI). So for me, in order for a pageant to survive, it must evolve without alienating its core audience (Hallo universe you are alienating your core audience with all that woke sh1t you are injecting). A perfect pageant for me is a pageant which has a solid advocacy like ME with the glamour of Miss Grand. So, for me, ME has the most potential to reign above other pageants and to survive. Mahirap yung advocacy part at perfect sila dito. Yung glam part, madali.lang ito.as long as they hire seasoned professionals.

While it still may be popular in some areas of the world, not a lot of people actually watch or care about it anymore because some groups of people see it as promoting unrealistic standards or even objectifying which is why they try to evolve and be inclusive to get viewers back.

They allowed transwomen and single moms join the pagent. DISCLAIMER: I am LGBTQ member but I totally disagree transwomen joining the pageant. 2. Some of the pageant owners are controversial or they're making their pageants more controversial (gimmicks) to gain popularity. 3. In the past years it has become more political and they're of the money they can earn. (MU and MGI) 4. Pagent coronation delays. (MW and ME) 5. Franchise battle. Particularly here in the PH. Miss Universe PH is now a separate pageant. Before it was under BBP. After MUPH separation personally I lost my interest.

Observation ko din, sobrang saturated na ng pageants. Parang every year, may bagong pageant.

[@georgebasister1929]

Doesn't matter, it's so superficial anyway and now with no exceptions in civil status and no age limit, it has become a circus of sorts, specifically MU.

miss grand international has a lot to offer, it could be our last hope for international pageants at least of grand slam. they offer a whole show and lots of fun activities

[@kennfreediver5815]

Maybe pageantry is slowly dying because it is losing its relevance and significance. There are only a few pageants that are true to its core values hence people sees pageants as entertainment hence they only take interests during the show and after that, it dies a natural death. Just my personal thoughts.

[@spidyflash465]

This BPageant must focus whre they are strong and more fans...

Philippines 🇵🇭 won't be in MGI sorry 😢

[@sigmundanguyen1563]

Pageantry is not popular in the US anymore. Kaya hindi na nakakagulat na binenta ito ng US Company kasi hindi na sila kumikita sa US. The trend is going gown. Lalo na sa mga progressive countries. Sa Southeast Asia at Latin America na lang relevant at sikat ang pageantry. And the sad part nagiging chippy na ang datingan ng MU lalo na worldwide ang balitang bankarote ang new owner. Nakakaloka I have no issues with mother/married women joining MU but I really cannot aupport trans joining MU. Masyado nang inclusive ang MU. Sabi nga nila go woke go broke But still, as a certified pageant erkling, umaasa pa rin for the success of our beloved MU.

Pageantry is popular in certain areas in the USA. I know it’s quite popular in Texas.

[@PungiFungi]

Rather contradictory as we have more international pageants than ever, more men’s pageants as well….and yet pageantry is supposedly dying?

[@heyadamg3705]

Well here In the ph, it’s not but in more western countries like usa, Britain (where ms world is based), it’s dead and it doesn’t help that all these new pageants sprouting like mushrooms are diminishing MU and Miss World’s luster

[@fgg1031]

Beauty pageants have been waning its lustre for years. No one gives a toss on women half naked sashaying and twirling on stage.

Ilayo konti ang camera

I wish one day there's no more pageants in the whole world. Kasi mulhang Pera lahat sila.

[@deanvm9158]

Unfortunately, change is the name of the game. I for one, I don't watch tv anymore. Only KZbin. People care more about vloggers these days than actors. So unless the actor starts his own channel, he is going to lose job in the next years to come.

[@JoenilMinguez]

I think wala ng excitement about pageants kasi nakikita na lahat sa social media bawat galaw ng candidates before the preliminary and coronation nights, and there's a lot of prediction these days, Unlike noong trump era na wala pang social media nakikita lg tuwing finals yong mga candidates kaya nakaka ecxite talaga manood and the pacing of the pageant are very fast wala ng cheche bureche unlike ngayon dami ng eme, Pati soundrack noon sa final look sobrang Ganda naka focus lg sa candidates yong attention ngayon may performer na, And the candidates haha no offense sobrang nakakaloka ngayon wala ng age limit and may mga transgender na,nagiging woke na ang pageantry ngayon and c'mon we all know its not working so please stop this!!! Iba na talaga ang essence of woman ngayon,

[@maloupenalosa7483]

Actually I am starting to not get interested anymore ...na notice ko sa sarili ko lately. 😔

That’s because we are sick of Latin countries and Phillipine winning all the time. Why would any other country care.

No so much interview for new Ms. Universe because there is nothing inspirational from her. Or maybe she's really not really comfortable with english interviews

Miss universe loses its relevance when the Icon Bob Barker step down. From then on it's boring.

[@vicfortela]

i disagree with many things you said...i watched ms universe live in new orleans , los angeles with miss lian ramos and MJ in doral, florida...the one in new orleans was the loudest and most magnificent preentation of the three..nowhere have i seen shows as lively as ms universe,,,i thought the stage was going to explode with all that screaming and stampeding of fans and the venue was filled to capacity...MISS UNIVERSE IS A POP CULTURE OF ITS OWN and will never die...if khun anne fails, another businessmn will catch it...who here in america watches television now? we are in the 21st century ..all of us are into social media and you can turn soc media on and watch it anywhere even inside your own toilet,,,we did away with TV because cable vision was charging us 280$ permonth ...so we got hold of the internet in tv for much less than that..its the otherway around, television is dying so who cares about tv rating...next wave of economic and scientific boom might be in asia so miss universe will be more popular than ever...many americans and europeans love pageants{ask the french} but it is tacky in the west to talk about beauty pageants....such hypocrites

[@heyadamg3705]

I was there in New Orleans too and the auditorium wasn’t filled entirely. Yes, the front and middle row seats were full but the side and back portions were empty.

[@heyadamg3705]

Yes, you may have a point about viewers shifting to their smartphones for viewership but popularity of it up to this day is my point of this content. Similar annual spectacles like The Oscars, Golden Globes,Super Bowl are still being watched on tv. Even Miss USA last year was seen on CW. Whether we like it or not, a show still being carried by a mainstream media network still contributes to a pageant’s “popularity “ or “relevance.”
