1. Miss Universe, Miss America. My family would be glued to our b/w tv back

in the day. I'm not that much of a fan nowadays but I've nothing against a healthy competition.

9. Lisa Hanna

We actually know both Cindy and Lisa - but not as beauty queens.

Lisa is a current MP for the PNP and back in the day earned 1st class Honours at UWI, Mona. She was the Minister of Culture in the last PNP administration.

4. I love the way Miss Nigeria got so excited for her friend--and the fact that she was that happy

for her suggests that Miss Jamaica is a sweet, likable person. Both of those young women come across as sweet in that clip.

[Leith]

13. Me, too

I think they are both sweet and likable people.

Congrats to Miss Singh.

Miss Nigeria didn’t win the Miss World crown on Saturday, but you wouldn’t have known it from her reaction when the winner’s name was called.

During the final round of the competition, just three women remained on the stage waiting to find out who would be crowned Miss World. There was Miss Nigeria, Nyekachi Douglas; Miss Brazil, Elis Coelho; and Miss Jamaica, Toni-Ann Singh. When the winner’s name was called, Douglas erupted to a cheer. She then did a joyful dance around the stage, twirling across the dais in her green gown, before rushing back to hug the woman who had actually won—Miss Jamaica.

For her part, Singh appeared stunned by the announcement, simply standing still and looking shocked at her new title while Miss Brazil gave her a warm, congratulatory hug. Luckily, Douglas had more than enough excitement for both of them. The fact that Douglas was so clearly excited for her friend, even though it meant that she herself had lost the competition, was truly heartwarming.

5. Wonderful!

Jamaica must be very proud of her!

15. Well listening to the radio

I would say that Jamaicans are pleasantly surprised for they sure didn't see this one coming

[MineralMan]

16. Well, when she gets back, she'll probably get a warm reception.

Nice.

8. I loved watching the clip, but then I was looking forward to hearing Lulu's song at the end.

I wish they hadn't cut it off when they did.

[malaise]

11. The entire show is on line if you want to watch it

To Sir With Love was my Lulu favorite

[NBachers]

12. Thanks- Lulu really belted out "Shout." I gotta say, Lulu looks good!

17. Great to see stuff like this!

Looks like a mostly positive reaction since it's a global competition.

I remember when we got our first Indian-American Miss America, she faced a lot of deplorable racism.

18. Listen bro when Carole Ann Crawford won the title for JA in 1963

her mother declared that she wasn't mixed. It was a big lie according to those in the know and those with eyes. Ma thought she 'passed'.

21. THAT'S AMAZING....

CONGRATS....!
