Who Won? And the New Miss America 2023 is…

[@heatherobrien1790]

I loved it! She full out was ecstatic for her friend for winning and that’s how it always should be!! I literally cried. Precious moment. Not because Wisconsin won- but the genuine love and admiration.

[@chfman4912]

That's when you want the scholarship money but don't really want to upend your life for a year of non-stop travel and appearances and exhausting media interviews back to back to back. It's not like Miss America becomes famous anymore these days like either in days of yore. In the old days they would become household names and be able to parlay that immediately into acting jobs and media hosting opportunities and other high profile/visible roles. These days, the fade right back into obscurity. In fact, they are even crowned in obscurity as the pageant is no longer on television, just streamed on the internet, and isn't even held in Atlantic City (not the first time they have left AC either). So beyond the prize money, and bragging rights, it's probably better to be first runner up than the actual winner. So that is probably a part of her jumping up and down in excitement. She was saying 'bitch its all yours, I'll take the check and go back home to my own life thanks!'

Terry Meeuwsen in 1973 was Wisconsin's first Miss America when the contest was still glamorous and on network TV.

[@roberthicks5704]

Without the runway....without the swim suit competition....without "There She Is Miss America.....it's just a pageant. Nothing to watch anymore. I haven't watched in years because it's so disappointingly boring.

[@HarpazoReady2022]

The Miss America Organization changed the name in 2018 from pageant to competition. It's gone 100% political now and no longer has the prestige it once had.

[@tommcgannon2227]

Who is staging this production? Stage is so small that the contestants have to move out of the way as finalists are named? Poorly scripted emcees … and amateur delivery of remarks -- come on Miss America … you can do better to present this production and these contestants.

[@vernskid]

These women should be so proud of their achievements. Just wish they would get them back on tv. This used to be an event. These women work so hard for this and deserve their recognition. The competition needs to get on the ball

Take it back to Atlantic City where it belongs. This moving from place to place cheapens it.

[@timothyleon558]

Announcers and the whole ambiance is not right. Feels like they’re crowning a prom queen. The ambiance is gone … not because of the contestants, but the production. Fix it!!

[@TheMilkFarm1]

Congratulations to ALL the contestants (you are all winners to have made it to the pageant), and to Miss Wisconsin, for winning that coveted crown of Miss America 2023 !!!! I have been a fan of Miss America, since the late 1960’s, when I was a child (my much older sister, now deceased, used to watch it back then, which is how I watched the pageant, as a child) ..I continued to watch every year, it was “appointment television” in my home, to see who would win that coveted crown. I felt strong emotion, when viewing this video clip, and am saddened to see the negative comments. I will just add that “change is constant,” and the organization has made, what I consider to be positive changes, as far as focusing on these talented young women, as a whole. I do wish they would play the rendition of “There She Is,” sung by Bert Parks, long time host of the show, no one sung the song quite like he did !! lol ..One more thing, I do wish the pageant was placed back on network t.v., as the institution of Miss America, should be broadcast to an audience, where more people would see it. Unfortunately, I missed this year’s pageant, as I had not heard when, or where, it was being broadcast. I had wondered when the pageant was held, and finally looked it up here. In any event, congratulations to you ALL !!!!

[@abdelazimmohamad1135]

Your comment really touched my heart . Accept my greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬

[@danwalker1858]

This looked so amateur as a pageant streamed this way. Miss America needs to get back on network tv where it belongs and structured the way it used to be. The young women vying for titles deserve better than this. It had the appearance of someone being crowned a homecoming queen instead of Miss America.

Glad and proud of my homegirl, from the state of Wisconsin, where I was born and have lived all my life! But probably any one of the beauties from the other states could have made a good Miss America too! I say this from the heart ❤️💜 as a Wisconsinite! And a proud, black Christian man. Miss New York seemed to be really happy for our girl 👊👍🤗 for winning. I imagine all the other contestants were. That's what it's about in any kinda contest. Be it a beauty pageant, NBA champion game, NFL , MLB World Series, NHL, boxing match, whatever. All who participated in it, and watch it, etc. Should be happy for the winner. As long as it was fair! That makes me think of the Oscars, Emmys, Grammy Awards, etc.

It's incredible how this pageant has fallen. The winner's reaction was cringy...fake, dramatic, and hard to watch. This looks like it was produced in a high school gym or auditorium. Looking back at the old Miss America pageants, it was once full of style, grace, and grandeur. Not any longer...just cheap and nothing special at all. The contestants could learn a lot by the old days, see how real women carried themselves.

[@HarpazoReady2022]

People had to pay $32 on the Miss America Organization website to watch it. The music was cheap. They could have found better music free on KZbin. In the past, this pageant was prestigious. They had celebrity MC's. The judges might have had a celebrity or two. They played current popular songs while the contestants came out one by one. The background graphics used to be nice! But this year, they used a plain font without even a crown on it. Very scaled down. Viewership has plummeted in recent years because it got too politician. Now it's worse. It's as if they scraped pennies to have it.

[@HarpazoReady2022]

They're all beautiful, but the reason Miss Wisconsin won wasn't based off her looks, talent or interview. It was based off her "social impact platform," which was clean energy. Zero-carbon energy sources (which has created all our rolling blackouts across the country without coal plants) The pageant is now 100% political. According to the Miss America Organization, Miss America is "positively advancing the goals and objectives of Miss America Organization as well as her own Social Impact Initiative." Over the last couple years, the MAO has eliminated swimsuit and evening gown categories and replaced them with the social impact platform. In 2018, they stopped calling it a pageant, and now it's a competition. The music was cheap. The background was cheap. And all the hard work these ladies have done was hardly even recognized or seen because of a paywall on the MAO website🙄 Miss NY should have won based on talent, beauty and ability to communicate and carry herself professionally.
