Chelsea Manalo’s Miss Universe 2024 Journey | Honest Thoughts on Miss Philippines’ Performance

[@isabella80808]

*Regardless of how others perceived Chelsea Manalo's performance at Miss Universe, she represented the PHILIPPINES, and the MUPH org as well as her team with Manny Halasan to the best of her ability and utmost effort. HUMILITY is the solid foundation of all virtues; thus, Chelsea is GREATLY REWARDED. Belonging to TOP 30 is a GREAT ACHIEVEMENT amongst all the contenders. Whilst the historical title of MISS UNIVERSE ASIA is a MONUMENTAL ACCOMPLISHMENT for Chelsea and her countrymen. CONGRATULATIONS to CHELSEA ANNE MANALO, MUPH, HER TEAM, and to ALL FILIPINOS!! BE GRATEFUL and CELEBRATE THE VICTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES!! KUDOS, LUIS, for being an OVERACHIEVER!!(no charot:)*

She didn't win the crown.she is appointed.and it was done in the backstage.it seems like it was given to her just not to lose the pinoy pageant fans.in short we dont have the crown and was given a consolation price.thats all.

[@blessed1741]

somehow, but the MUO had already explained how this Continental thing came about. As per them, the 4 Continental Queens are the highest scorers during the prelims, interviews I guess, photo/video shoots, camaraderie with their co-candidates, GMRC. The MUOrg and staff were the ones who chose the 4, and the judges during finals, they chose the TOP 12. Fair enough!

[@nardsragas]

Well-done Luis

Chelsea's prelims evening gown was basic and boring. Loved her national costume but both swimsuit rounds I didn't think were good for her. Philippines usually gives us top contenders but I was underwhelmed by Chelsea.

[@marizara386]

Chelsea is just so pretty in my eyes. Love this lady!

[@fluffysdaddy]

100% agree. We were there too and my only expectation for Chelsea was for her to represent herself and her journey as MUPH authentically. She was already a winner with that... and she delivered. (Okay, I did want her to make Top 12 :) but I've been a fan long enough to know you don't always make it even with your best.) MU Asia was a surprise and Chelsea and MUPH seem happy and proud with the honor. What more can we ask for? We ran into Voltaire Tayag and her Mom leaving finals and her Mom was SO SWEET and GRATEFUL for our support. I knew then that the best really was yet to come for Chelsea! #NanaloSaMexico

Thank you Luis for a great review. You are honest but at the same time respectful of the people you are critiquing not like other vlogers. Kepp up the great work.

[@jenme2390]

The blue prelims gown reminds me of a story that Pia told about how she had to work up the courage to go specifically request to wear her winning blue gown. I wonder if Chelsea knew about that story when this gown was picked. I LOVE the skirt and the way it flows. Honestly, I don’t love the midsection though.😬I wish that part would have been different just from a fashion perspective. One thing I love about post Miss Universe competition this year is seeing all the girls being welcomed home WITH their crowns on. They are all queens. We all know there can only be one Miss Universe every year but we shouldn’t take for granted everything they have all already accomplished and the great work they are doing in their countries and like you said the examples they are setting for young girls and future queens.☺️

[@cast4ron]

[@neilambasing7501]

Chelsea is a beautiful woman - both in and out. Yes, just the top 30, but we are proud of her. Prelims, swimsuit round great. Not an issue for me. Gown? Yes, i was taken aback. It was a shock for me. The gown was sedate. Not what we were expecting. If it were to be a ballgown, i would have preferred her Tiana gown. But yeah, there was that issue of all ladies coming out to the stage in groups. So, to catch attention, i see the logic of going out in that cerulean ballgown. There is no mistake, put Chelsea in a gown, she will wear it and look amazing. She looked amazing and her twirls were great and not distracting (unlike Olivia Culpo who just would not stop swaying it made me dizzy and irritated). A different color? Yes, i see your argument and yeah, perhaps a different color would have been better but i am satisfied with her preliminary performance, albeit i was initially taken aback by the gown but further on, yeah, it was an acceptable risk. She did stand out with that design. Now let us go the the night itself. Swimsuit? I believe she should have progressed. Honestly. But seeing so many of the ladies perform, i was not so sure if she would make it. I would have swapped Russia and Philippines. Now for the MU Asia sash, i am perplexed. Why Philippines? Yeah, OK, great, and thank you. But shouldn't it go to Thailand? Nigeria, first runner-up, got it for Africa. So why not Thailand? We keep on saying play fair. Yes, i may suspect some politics in Chelsea not making it to the top 12 and that is a bummer but with the final placements, it would be logical to have Thailand as a runner up and MU Asia as well. Now if the rule would be one not in the top five, then OK, i can agree with Chelsea being MU Asia. With this, then why have Nigeria then as MU Africa? Consternation! We a just scratching our heads with all these confusing results. We love Chelsea! She is an amazing woman. She represented the Philippines very very well. I believe she should have made it to the top 12. However, with the final results, though i am happy MU Asia is Chelsea, and i have no doubt she will be a great ambassador, as my heart hurts for Chelsea being in the top 30 and not in the top 12, i am also hurting that Thailand was bypassed. Just what are the rules?

[@michelletorres4276]

The rules is thailand was pick by the judge... And chelsea was pick by the organization before the result of the top 5...now intiendes???😅😅😅

[@GoGoTomica]

Very simple, you ask yourself this question. If her sash is Laos, Bangladesh or weak sash countries, do you think you will give her a 2nd look? If other countries wear that evening gown, all of you will say it's damn ugly. You don't have to answer. Your answer is to please the audience. Answer it yourself in your heart.

[@Raz_ma_tazy]

I am from Laos and I think Chelsea is very beautiful! She has more of a natural beauty to me. I did not like her blue evening gown. The gown looked boring and the color did not make her stand out. She looks good in yellow/gold. It may be the bad lighting in MU stage that didn’t make her stand out 🤷🏻‍♀️ She was so stunning and stood out alot during MUPH .. just didn’t in MU in Mexico. I am sorry if you feel offended. It’s just my honest feedback. 😊

[@LanaEvoli_]

Agreed. Even most of pageant vlogger don't see Chelsea coming as winner during MUP 2024. She was Dark Horse in National pageant. When she won MUP2024 most of vlogger gave 101% praise on her performance. They're not overlooked..they just overrated to thier favourite contestants 😂😂😂😂😂.

[@prettynpunkjade]

Well yes! Yes, I would give her a 2nd look. Because she's what? Stunning! 🥰 Now go ask yourself "in your heart" if you'd have this much of a problem with Chelsea if her sash said anything other than Philippines. We all know pageant fans from Latin America & our ASEAN neighbors are bitter & hateful towards any and every Filipina beauty queen. 🤡

[@pangkayortega6308]

Just because you say the gown is ugly so everyone should think it's ugly? Your confidence is astonishing. Even Chelsea is from Laos or Cambodia if the crown is destined for her she'll get it.

[@LifeOdysseyMotivation]

Thank you so much Luis for your detailed and honest review, opinion, and explanation. Og I love her national costume, it's very meaningful and historical. I love the details, the style, and the color. Finally we made a national costume that is very Southeast Asiatic but with a western touch in it. It has actually a bit similarity to Indonesia's kebaya gowns and I really like it.

[@keptdude]

I believe the outcome would have been the same even if she wore a different hairstyle, gown, swim wear etc, it would have been the same outcome. MU wanted a blonde queen this year; it’s that simple. Philippines was outstanding to me in all aspects of the competition and there’s nothing else she could have done.

[@glitterpinkbatcave7120]

Gracias Luis! I just wished Chelsea was able to execute her couple of turns at once during the EG segment when Philippines has been called!! The gown’s drama is when she’s turning….so mesmerizing to behold! 👗

[@djodjo8242]

Not only in EG but also in SS. She did nothing but just walk and smile. She walk like she's uninspired and representing not the Philippines. I missed the previous candidates who fought really hard especially during prelims and finals.

[@ponciano84]

Some people can't see beyond the pageant's true goal, given Chelsea's background is a huge accomplishment already, I mean you can't win it all, when I was watching the pageant, I was fairly disappointed when she didn't make it to the top 12 but then I realized it doesn't matter at this point because she represented not only Philippines but the rest of people out there who thinks being different is an obstacle but she proved everyone wrong. To me Chelsea will always be the winner, that is enough for me. I am very proud of her for representing so many different people. Mabuhay :)

[@HohaHoha-bn5ih]

The stupid Miss Universe is over guys!! this contest is getting worse and worse every year!!

As well as all the other prices were totally “Wrong” according with the tittle, come on did they ever went to school???

[@WhereIComeLYR-l2p]

The Philippines has the largest pageant fan base in the world in my opinion. I feel like they always expect too much to win in every pageant and whether their representatives do well or not, they will be blindly praised. And that is the Filipino pageant fan behavior I see today.

[@PrettyYoungThing511]

My feeling on this prelim gown when I saw it was… Princess vibes, rather than empowered queen vibes. It gave innocence and whimsy rather than the usual powerful elegance that to me a MU has! But love her regardless! As you say, it’s how she wanted to present herself and I hope she is happy with the decision 👏🏻

[@KookieKatie-l2e]

Yes I think it was a princess vibes and she carried herself gracefully...she's Beautiful in that gown but is big no cuz the competition embodied a queen not a princess, yes she's Beautiful but she should wear something else...Mr. Luis is right is like a ball gown ❤😊

[@fluffysdaddy]

Her team really should have guided her better with this princess vibe. There is a time and place for it, but sadly not Miss Universe preliminaries in the 2024 batch in a Latin American host country of all places. The ball gown should have been saved for the hotel lobby lol.

Luis you are right. When I saw the gown, I thought about Pia wearing a ballgown with lots of blings. They should have given it a little more bling and color should have been a royal blue. She should have twirled or given some movement to the gown, like disney princesses finally realizing they are the superstar of the show and giving the villains the final slap of shame. Lol. Unfortunately, competition is done but still proud of Chelsea for her achievements.

It's better that they'll help each other.

If he didn't mention the Cosmo nonplacer and the one who competed at the same pageant twice and didn't win he would have given himself some credibility. But at the end of the day he showed he's just another typical Pinoy fan and not a pro like this vlogger. Maybe he was frustrated because for all his time and money he just got to stay in the lobby.

[@ruffacalderon2657]

In my opinion, Miss Philippines should start wearing only one gown for prelims & finals. In her case, the final look is way better than prelims. Also, the judges first impression happens during the prelims so you can no longer swayed the judges during finals as they made their opinion on the contestants. I don’t get why they have to spend money on two gowns, but instead use the resources to create a fabulous gown. We’ve seen this happen many times with Miss Philippines. Also, stick to the signature look. Looking back, past & present MUPH queens had mediocre performance and gown presentation during prelims. They should acknowledge the time to peak is the prelims period.

[@CherishArtist]

Chelsea is a beautiful girl and did a good job but we have to be honest with each other. Chelsea gives more Miss International vibes than Miss Universe vibes which are two completely different pageants. Her hair, her makeup, her styling, her energy, she just looked and performed so much better during finals night than in preliminaries which she should have brought during preliminaries. You can’t wait to pop off during finals night if your prelims performance and overall performance since winning your country’s title is not enough. Remember the org said that they started actually judging the ladies during prelims night. We have to keep in mind, the competition was in a Latin American country filled with Latinas on their A-game, so you have to bring it all to keep up with them. Overall she just needed more- more energy, more added to her prelims gown, better makeup, better hair style which the two she did on finals night but she needed to add 1000% more to each aspect in order to have made it farther. But she did a good job nonetheless.

[@fluffysdaddy]

You are not wrong. Miss U was not her destiny and she seems happy with her title as Miss U Asia. Proud of that.

[@champion9290]

CHEALSEA did well in all competitions they purposely deny her final 12/5 bc they knew she was the winner hands down

[@roseerocha5599]

and she had the perfect moves in her blue princess gown and you noticed that she's sweet & likeable at the same time She was OBVIOUSLY STANDOUT for the whole competition 💙💫

[@senoznomdeolrac6145]

Chelsea definitely dimmed. her fierceness and ferociousness was not there during prelim and finals, compare her performance in MUPH vs MU is severely different. This is because of the MUPH org. Lets not beat around the bush because it was prevalent even amongst our previous delegates that their MUPH performance was wayyyy better in MU. Their shine and glow DIMMED.

[@Sheikhina]

Chelsea & Opal had low energy and sparkled / performed a lot less than their national competitions

[@emanmarwan7346]

Agree specially opal ! I didn't put her at my top 12 list but I think she did a great job for her interview that was clear during her Q and A round she gave the best answers although her performance was not the best and wasn't as strong as she was during her national competition

[@Hatsu-Momo]

To my kababayans, Kindly consider that CM does not have the same influence or resources as our previous delegates. I saw a video where she's working as a Front Desk Representative. There’s nothing wrong with that, but she is not a celebrity or model with access to high-profile designers or pageant coaches. She represents the majority of us and the world of pageantry certainly can be overwhelming, yet she has managed to make her mark in the competition. Participating in pageants is no trivial matter; it can be expensive. This woman didn’t stand out because of her outfits or commanding presence; she stood out because of her humility that kindness to other cheek can stretch million miles and I am so proud of that! Chelsea is a living testament to the idea that simplicity is always the best approach. Her ability to represent us Filipinos and showcase this on an international stage is truly incredible. What an amazing woman! Thank you Chelsea for representing us in a different light that Filipina queens possess a diverse range of good qualities and attributes in ways everlasting. 🤍

[@lailahussain4681]

Right!​@@ococinaph.suprem3023

[@Aki-hb1jy]

Wrong. She did not have the resources when she competed in MUPH. After winning MUPH she got all the sponsors and resources she needed to get a complete training.

[@mafadegs3580]

absolutely great statement. She's freshly out of college. Got her first job. Paid for her own college by modeling. she is an excellent role model for the youth of the Philippines. She represents all the qualities God blessed her: strength, beautiful spirit, etc. Don't forget she is gorgeous - as many other nationals have observed and verbally expressed. God Bless Chelsea.

[@neustaq]

No to ball gowns during preliminary or finals. This is not the fifties and sixties. She stood out as a princess but not a queen. Nothing against the gown. That was the risk she took not considering proven history with ball gowns. She should have not changed anything from MUP victory when she appeared as a queen with the Mae West walk. Pia and Catriona only wore ball gowns at the victory celebration. I will not apologize for my comment.

[@hernancano8681]

We all know the high price Philippines pay for the franchise, of course, they will give Philippines something! Chelsie is a nice girl, but not MU material or even top 5. Top 30 was more than ok. 😂

[@ococinaph.suprem3023]

We love you, Luis! Thanks for not making us furious 😅 with your opinion about CM's MU2024 performance. Your honest opinion makes you stand out as always. ❤

[@LAUGHINGBUDDHAVORTEX]

Can you do another after?

[@suroviparvin8255]

can i get a pin 🥺

[@JosephineUntal]

Love you Luis ❤❤❤ from the 🇵🇭

[@yollyalcantara9542]

I agree with you Luis. The energy she gave was lacking during the final event itself and i dont like the gown as well. Still i am happy for her

[@djodjo8242]

She's uninspired. I thought she's very hungry for the crown after watching her on live chat when she said there's nothing to worry about because it's up to her to the work. Unfortunately she didn't deliver enough to be a contender for the crown.

[@wylerXL]

she's no barbie doll.

[@Tatang_Nyong]

Like you😂😂

[@AsianBoyTV]

DON'T LET MUPH SEE THIS OR THEY WILL CANCEL YOU AND CALL YOU OUT! 🤣

[@sebastianjoseperez]

Beautiful woman. Not the best queen from The Phillipines ❤

[@kentzler187]

Then who the best? Ul0wl dmi mo alam boba

[@squishybear5728]

She is a pretty girl but she is a little on the subdued side. I see her competing at a Miss International.

[@Unknown24466]

Miss International don’t crown black queens. She would be great for Miss Earth or Miss World.

[@fluffysdaddy]

Miss World is better for Chelsea.

[@djodjo8242]

And her roommate is also like that. I think it's also the reason why tati didn't win shes too timid and demure for the crown.

[@Tc-ih8zj]

Totally Agree, if her sash said 'British Virgin Islands' or 'St Lucia', she would be a Clapper. Totally blah (but gigantic) dress. Her final gown is far more dramatic! Her demure demeanor also didn't match the spirit & energy of the Latin contestants.

[@djodjo8242]

I think it's the same reason why tati didn't make it top 5 or win. Tati was timid and demure to be miss universe. I think that's the reason why they became close they've the same attitude and demeanor.

[@Mimi-sb4ex]

True that blue gown let her down I don't know why muph allow her to use that even they know it doesn't suit her

[@AsianBoyTV]

DON'T LET MUPH SEE THIS OR THEY WILL CANCEL YOU AND CALL YOU OUT! 🤣

[@emanmarwan7346]

She was so overrated from her national competition ! Same as miss DR and at her preliminary and final she was weaker than her national competition performance so top 30 is so good position for her I was shocked when I saw her preliminary performance and gown so directly sure that she won't make it to top 12

[@Sheikhina]

Everyone always overrates the strong sash country competitors, and I’m glad to see it backfired this time. She’s pretty and I like her and everything, but if she was from somewhere like Namibia or Sierra Leone or even Denmark instead of Victoria, then she wouldn’t have been expected to go far and wouldn’t have been expected to be in the top to begin with.

[@emanmarwan7346]

​​@@Sheikhinaexactly !! It's all about sash factor , media talks about her a lot just because she's from Philippines ok she's pretty and has a good performance but in compares with other Contestants of course there are so many better than her , her energy wasn't strong enough and her gown wasn't wow I do prefer Thailand and Nigeria to hold hands at the end , obsessed with opal confidence I see Victoria as 2nd runner up but seeing non sash factor's country winning the competition makes me feel good

[@chinoageined701]

Chelsea's final performace was just mediocre...She was so great pre-finals but during the finals, I didnt feel her presence...

[@ra_fri]

Chelsea for miss world

[@abishekchinnusamy8017]

We want ur view on rhea singha too

[@KianCalixtro]

I hate the preliminary performance tbh!

[@barbrahc7]

Wow. This is beautiful. Was rooting for Nigeria and Philippines. Please do one on Nigeria as well….

[@hjon9119]

she is a bit too short for that finals evening gown she prepared

[@AsianBoyTV]

DON'T LET MUPH SEE THIS OR THEY WILL CANCEL YOU AND CALL YOU OUT! 🤣

[@hjon9119]

​@@AsianBoyTV haha oo nga baka ibully din ako

[@adenikeadesoji7865]

Do for Nigeria

[@sheilarabah4963]

Ang galing mo LUIS mag analyze❤

[@nathanielpartoza382]

dun pa lang sa send off nya nakitaan na sya ng pagiging malamya/pabebe at naging consistent naman sya sa part na yun hanggang dulo di mo sya makitaan ng fierceness or gutom sa korona sa totoo lang kaya hindi na din surprise na hanggang top 30 lang sya exected naman na sa pinakita nya nung prelims anyways, sana yung susunod na MUPH yung palaban na , matangkad, facecard at hindi pabebe pls lang MUH org matuto na kayoo!

[@kentzler187]

Kahit mag tumbling sya dun wla tlga di n maipapasok ang pinas s top 5 hanggat andun si anekupal

[@kentzler187]

Dmi mo hanash accla wla k nmn itlog

[@marcledesma6155]

Ang problema kasi, sobrang taliwas ang photoshoots nya with Seven Baretto. The PR photoshoots evoked fierceness and Amazona Filipina vibes. Those were the pictures endorsed by Tyra Banks. Kaso, pagdating sa prelims, Lord, baket naging kuting sya with matching pa-bebe blue ball gown and pa-tweetums look na akala mo debutante. Dun pa lang, something was wrong with the conflicting strategy and implementation stages. I donated USD50 to MU to support her but as soon as I saw her pa-bebe look in the prelims, I really felt shortchanged because this wasn't what I paid for based on her photoshoot persona. Naging Goldilocks 18th birthday cake topper si Miss Philippines, kalurky talaga. Had I known, ni USD1 hindi talaga ako mag-aaksaya ng pera.

[@djodjo8242]

Yung sa live chat nya sinabi nya na Ako bahala relax kayo sinabi nya yun na walang intensity sa mata.malamya at hindi gutom sa korana.di ko rin nagustuhan Yung sumisigaw na Ang mga tao na rumampa at mag-awra di nya mapagbigyan kung pgbigyan man pilit.

[@folksdtv5938]

Eh kung ganito b nmn mag bigay ng opinion si Plastic Adam edi sana OK 😂😂
