Thoughts on top 10 in 2001 -- Aisha, 10:00:08 06/06/01 Wed
Being that I am majoring in fashion design, I just love to watch Miss Universe and see the different styles and gowns. I know it's a little late to be posting my opinions on the top 10 and my own personal top 12, but here it is anyway..

1st off..

1. Spain- An absolutely gorgeous girl with a killer body. In my opinion she had one of the, if not THE, best bodies in the entire competition. Some said she didn't seem to care how she looked or walked when she was on stage, but that wasn't the impression I got at all. I thought her movements and attitude were just very simple and innocent during swimsuit, similar to Miss Spain 99. During eg she seemed very sure and full of sex-appeal. Though her gown was somewhat unique for a pageant, I loved it! She wore it very well and it grabbed your attention. It was very daring and stylish. I felt she should have made top 5.

2. Venezuela- Don't get me wrong. I usually adore the delegates from Venezuela! But I was very dissapointed in their rep. this year. I felt Eva lacked the spark and charm that usually sets Miss Venezuelas above their opponents. Even her face ans smile seemed lackluster. In swimsuit, she looked great from the front and really had the catwalk down. But when she turned around, I was stunned. I personally felt that her behind needed a little more toning. As rude as this sounds, I thought it looked saggy and somewhat distasteful. Not the normal body of a typical Miss V. In eg, I was even more let down. Yes, the gown is nice, but in my mind, only for a smaller scale pageant. I'm used to Miss V. blowing me away in eg (ie. 00,97,96,94,92, 90)I thought she looked a little out of place, too casual. Again, nice walk, bad image. I think she should have reversed her sf and prelim decisions. In answering her questions, I thought her lack of spark really showed. I thought she seemed very dull. Nothing she said impressed me. I didn't think she deserved a spot in the top 5.

3. Nigeria- Beautiful face and charming expressions. But in my humble opinion, not top 10 material. Her ss presentation was lackluster, to me. Her body wasn't all that great and her stance was way too casual. In eg, I thought she looked VERY tacky and outdated. The top of the gown didn't even fit her and all the fake jewelry didn't do her justice. For a sf spot, I would have replaced her with Miss Angola.

4. Israel- Another pretty face, but that's it. She had one of the worst bodies in ss. I have nothing against short delegates, but she looked stocky and her hips/thighs were a little too large. In eg, from the neck up she was stunning. But from the neck down she was way, way too casual. The black dress was nice, but not Miss Universe evening gown material. I don't think she deserved a place in the top 10.

5. Greece- WOW! She blew me away. Not necesarily the prettiest face, but everything else made up for it. In ss, she had one of the best bodies and THE BEST cat walk. She really knew how to work the stage and her stance was great. I thought she deserved 1st in ss. In eg, she was fabulous. That gown was very chic and stylish. And once again, she knew exactly how to work every movement of the gown. She truly exemplified the "model-look". In the interviews, I wasn't really impressed. It was obviously due to her lack of english, but she was repetitive and seemed to stumble. I did appreciate her sincerity, though. I don't think she deserved the crown, but top 5 was deffinately where she needed to be.

6. India- Another dissapointment for me. Obviously, not another Lara, Madhu, or Manpreet. In ss, she looked like a "Miss Teen India". Her body was too greased up and not impressive at all. Her height really hurt her, in my eyes. Plus, I found it uncomfortable to watch her battle with those shoes. In eg, she looked tacky and cheap. The gown was TOO MUCH. Not the usual simplicity and elegance that most indian delegates have had. In her questions, I thought she sounded like she was trying desperately to sound "mature and eloquent", but couldn't pull it off. Overall, she pailed in comparison to other Miss Indias. I didn't even think she deserved a spot in the top 10.

7. Russia- In all honesty, she did impress me, but in the end was obviously out of place. She had a gorgeous face. Very mysterious looks and capturing eyes. She actually reminded me of a european Delta Burke (lol). She had incredible stage presence. She knew exactly how to walk and gave the audience/judges very sexy looks. In ss, her body was nice, but her stance was what hurt her. In eg, the gown was obviously outdated, but I give her snaps because she worked it to the best of her potential. Didn't deserve top 10, but I still liked her.

8. USA- A great girl who truly deserved her success. In ss, she had a very nice tanned and toned body. She had a very reserved stage presence and seemed sweet and humble. At points during ss, she reminded me of Misty Giles, Miss TX Teen USA 99. I was actually dissapointed in her eg. I LOVED her prelim choice. It was incredibly elegant and simply breath-taking. Her sf choice was nice, but I felt a little too simple. In her interviews, she really impressed me. Kandace was very quick, witty, and showed her intelligence, (eventhough I thought the toursit remark was a bit off-the-wall lol) Overall, I deffinately thought she deserved a high placing. Kandace was great.

9. France- 1st off, a very pretty face. From the neck up she was a doll. But after that, what in the world was she doing in the top 10? In ss, she had a nice tan and her body was ok, but not impressive. Her obvious down point, was her right arm. It was very uncomfortable to watch. Her eg was probably the tackiest on stage. The material, the fit...nothing worked. Eventhough I thought she was very sweet and nice, she had no business being in the top 10.

10. Puerto Rico- And finally the home-town girl. In my opinion, the best Miss Puerto Rico, since Desiree Lowry. Denise had a gorgeous face and INCREDIBLE stage persence. If Miss Greece had the best cat walk, then Miss P.R. had the best overall stage presence. In ss, I agree that Denise could have used a little more color, a better tan. But her body was very nice, not the best, but very nice. And she really knew how to work the stage. In eg, she was THE BEST. I have never seen a lady with such sex appeal, stage presence, etc. in eg. Her gown was absolutely gorgeous, and from the looks she gave to the stances she took, she was #1 in eg. Her 1st answer was great. Very well said. She stumbled just a bit in her final answer, but she was still one of the best. In the end, the crown deffinately belonged to her.

In the end, I felt that the following delegates made top 10 due to political/media reasons...
1. Nigeria
2. Israel
3. Russia
4. France

My own top 12,( I still prefer 12), was..
1. Spain
2. Venezuela
3. Netherlands
4. Switzerland
5. Greece
6. Ireland
7. Colombia
8. Canada
9. Mexico
10. USA
11. Antigua & Barbuda
12. Puerto Rico

Remember these are just my opinions. No offense to anyone! :-)

Soy venezolana pero no me parecio que la Venezolana tuviera la presencia o la proyeccion escenica que tiene Denise. Las contestaciones de Denise le salian del alma y no parecian para nada practicadas. Ella definitivamente que sobresalio en todo. No siempre se puede ganar....

PARA MI ELLA NO SE LO GANO A ELLA SE LO DIERON , YA QUE ELLA NO PELIO COMO SE PELEBA ANTES CUANDO SALIAN LAS 10 SEMIFINALISTAS UNA DETRAS DE LA OTRA Y HABIA TIEMPO DE COMPARAR UN CON OTRA SIMPLETENTE ERA LO QUE HABIA Y YA, AQUI SE DISTRAJO MUCHO;EL HECHO DE TANTOS CORTES MUSICALES, VIDEOS Y ENTREVISTAS.A MI ENTENDER EL MEJOR CUERPO ERA DE LA REPRESENTANTE DE VENEZUELA, ENCUANTO A PROPORCIONES, SUS CADERAS ERAN DE MISMO TAMAñO A PARTE DE ESE COLOR DE PIEL TAN BELLO QUE TENIA, PIENSO QUE NO FUERON JUSTOS ALLI.EL DESFILE DE TRAJE DE NOCHE, DE VERDAD QUE LOS TRAJES NO ERAN NADA DEL OTRO MUNDO DE HECHO LA NOCHE DE LA PRELIMINAR SE VIERON MEJORES TRAJES Y DE ELLOS NADA LA NOCHE FINAL, MISS RUSSIA,FRANCE,NIGERIA,GREECE QUE PARECIA UN TRAJE DE NOVIA COLOR ROSA,ISRAEL Y ESPAñA,TENIAN LOS PEORES TRAJES, ADEMAS SI YO HUBIESE PERTENESIDO A PANEL DE JURADO YO DESCALIFICARIA A LA INDIA Y A ISRAEL POR USAR PALTAFORMAS EN TRAJE DE BAñO Y PARA COMLETAR LOS USARON EN TRAJE DE NOCHE, SUPUESTAMENTE SE ESTA TRNFORMANDO EL CONCURSO EN ALGO MAS FASHION Y CREO QUE LO PEOR QUE HAY EN VER A UNA MUJER CON PLATAFORMAS.LUEGO ANUNCIAN A LAS 5 FINALISTAS Y LAS MENCIONAN DE LA SIGUIENTE MANERA:INDIA,VENEZUELA,PR,GREECE,USA.

ADEMAS UNA PERSONA TENIA EN SU OFICINA EL ANUNCIO DE PRENSA QUE SALDRIA EL DIA SIGUIENTE DEL CONCURSO Y ESTO FUE 2 DIAS ANTES DEL CONCURSO, QUE EXTRAñO NO? TAMBIEN HAY QUE DARSE CUENTA QUE EL CONCURSO NO HABIAN 77 DELEGADAS SOLAMENTE HABIA 1 Y TODOS SABEMOS QUIEN ERA POR ESO AHORA HAY TANTA CONTROVERSIA Y SERA QUE LOS ORGANIZADORES NO SE HAN PUESTO A PENSAR QUE SI ESTE AñO FALTARON MUCHOS PAISES, EN EL 2002 CUANTOS MAS FALTARAN?;QUIERO PENSAR QUE TODO ES CASUALIDADES DE LA VIDA O SIMPLEMENTE UN ANALISIS DE TODO LO QUE SUCEDIO SIN FUNDAMENTOS, PERO SI PIENSAN QU ESTOY EQUIVOCADO, VEAN DOS VECES EN CONCURSO Y SE DARAN CUENTA DE MUCHAS COSAS, COMO CUANDO VAN ANUNCIAR LA 3era FINALISTA Y NAOMI DICE "OH GOD" MIRA A ELLE Y ELLE CHEQUEA LA TARJETA Y LAS 2 SE MIRAN,QUE TAL!!!, PERO COMO NO SE PODIA HACER MAS NADA SIGUIERON HASTA EL FINAL .DE VERDAD REPANSEN EL VIDEO Y VAN A CONSEGUIR MUCHAS COSAS QUE TE HACEB PENSAR. YO TENGO UNA OPINION MUY PARTICULAR: CREO QUE PUERTO RICO LOGRO UN SHOW MARAVILLOSO Y SU ORGANIZACION ESTUVO MUY BUENA, LAS ACTIVIDADES Y TODO ESO,PERO PARA MI LOS PATROCINANTES CORRIERON CON TODOS LOS GASTOS , PERO ELLOS EXIGIERON LA CORONA, LA ORGANIZACIOM MIIS UNIVERSE NO APORTO NADA MONETARIO Y POR ESO LOS PUERTORRIQUEñOS EXIGIERON LA CORONA."QUE VIVA LA NUEVA MISS UNIVERSE 2001 DENISE QUIñONES", "QUE VIVA PURTO RICO", QU VIVA FELIX TITO TRINIDAD" QUE CASUALIDAD NO?

This victory has tarnished the crown! -- Rtoshi, 06:33:52 05/12/01 Sat
I always think it is great to see a nation support thier girl in pageants but on the 11th of May 2001, in the beautiful nation of Puerto Rico we watched the biggest con game ever put on TV.

Unfortunately you have nothing to cheer about! She did not earn this title! We all watched with shock at what took place. Her victory makes no since. Just like past candidates who had the crown in reach when they choked in the final question they were denied the victory. Two candidates as example would be Madhu Sapre and Miriam Q. Explain to them why they shouldn't have won? They choked and paid the price. They got No crown!

The sad fact is that you can't truly defend this victory. The whole universe saw her choke in the end. You don't give the crown to someone who has bombed that blatantly and use the excuse that she was just too sweet to deny her a victory. If this were the case there is no need for a pageant. Just mail the crown to the sweetest applicant. What Denise unfortunately needs to do is to hand the crown back to the rightful winner which was Greece and humbly appologize for a nation that got just a bit too greedy over a lousy beauty crown. Her victory will always be questioned. What is she going to say when the same question is asked over and over and over again and again? they will point out to her all the time that many feel her victory was a fix. Not because the pageant was in her country but because she blew the final question. She froze! Things just don't add up. She was the only one out of the final 5 who literally froze in silence. She finally came up with a halfhearted response and bailed. We all knew she had suffered the same fate as some others. Sometimes it happens. Poor Miriam could tell you that and so could Madhu.

This was not a truly earned victory. In your heart you know this is true. If this is allowed this sends a message to children that cheating is acceptable. It's just wrong! I know some would be inclined to respond in a negative manner to this post assuming it too be harsh and hateful. I tell you this is not the case. I had her in my predicted final 3 all along. I considered her a true candidate for the crown. However, on that night, durring those finals, on that stage in the final phase she lost! There's no getting around it! What a shame! This is the very first time I have ever said this but this new Miss Universe did not deserve the crown.

MISS UNIVERSE LOST ITS CREDIBILITY. -- WILLIAM OF CALIFORNIA, 13:06:30 05/12/01 Sat
IT WAS A HOMETOWN DECISION. DENISE DIDN'T DESERVE ALL THE AWARDS SHE WON. THERE ARE 77 CANDIDATES ITS IMPOSSIBLE. ATLEAST ONE AMONG THE 77 IS BETTER IN SWIMSUIT, GOWN, PICTURE, HAIR. THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN:
PHOTOGENIC TO SWEDEN
SWIMSUIT TO VENEZUELA
GOWN TO INDIA
MISS UNIVERSE IS BACK TO BEING A SUCKER FOR PRETTY FACE. IT'S NOT TRUE THAT THEY LOOK INSIDE THE PERSON. THEY ARE HYPOCRITES. MISS UNIVERSE FROM NOW ON I THINK IS IRRELEVANT.
LASTLY, USA IS ALWAYS IN TEN EVEN IF THEY DONT DESERVE IT.
THERE ARE ALREADY A LOT OF TIMES THAT USA IS IN TEN WHICH THEY DONT DESERVE. LIKE IN 1994 LU PARKER. SHE DIDNT DESERVE IT EITHER.

Responding to the previous post, let me just say that you are so wrong. she did not freeeze. She stopped to think whereas the other candidates all had a rehearsed answer for the final question. She stopped to think and what she said came through as an honest answer.did you see the expression on her face?is it a PAGEANT RULE that they must answer during the first 10 seconds like robots?i think YOU are the one who has the wrong idea of what a Miss Universe should be

THIS IS THE REAL TOP 10 -- WANNA BET? WRITE TO ME, 10:59:13 05/11/01 Fri
OK WHO WANTS TO BET I GOT AT LEAST 9 SEMIFINALISTS RIGHT?
THE PAGEANT IS JUST HOURS AWAY AND THIS IS MY FINAL TOP 10... AND I AM SOOOOOOOOOO CONFIDENT! :)

HERE THEY ARE...

1. MISS COLOMBIA
2. MISS GREECE
3. MISS VENEZUELA
4. MISS PUERTO RICO
5. MISS NIGERIA
6. MISS USA

FROM HERE ON... THERE CAN BE ANY SURPRISEs... BUT I THINK THESE ARE THE LADIES WHO WILL GET LUCKY TONIGHT...

7. MISS SOUTH AFRICA
8. MISS SPAIN
9. MISS INDIA
10. MISS YUGOSLAVIA

IF THESE LAST 4 LADIES HAD A BAD DAY IN THEIR INTERVIEW, THESE ARE THE NICE SURPRISES TO BE...
MISS GERMANY
MISS COSTA RICA
MISS CZECH REPUBLIK
MISS CYPRUS
MISS FRANCE
MISS SINGAPORE
MISS KOREA
MISS TURKEY

OF COURSE, MY BET IS ON THE TOP 10 LIST... I just feel this last list of ladies deserve to be mentioned as beautiful delegates although I dont consider them first hand top 10 material.

I hope the top 3 will be
MISS GREECE: a total goddess!!!!!! she is perfect!!!!!! She does not need to have the most beautiful face, to be a stunning wonderful woman! I would describe her as a complete.

MISS VENEZUELA: she looks very regal. She is elegant, has a very latin sexy face and a gorgeous body (with some important flaws on the "back" side though...) but in general, she is beautiful and has the preparation it takes! I dont think shell win though. But perhaps she will be second tonight.

MISS COLOMBIA: My favorite girl of all. Ive said it before and I still think so... the sense of confidence and comfort with herself that this girl has is just incredible! Besides she looks so young and so WOMAN at the same time. The body is perfect, she is also well prepared, and I think she would make a great and different type of MISS UNIVERSE. And I DO think she has a gorgeous angel face!

OK... thats about all...

see you tomorrow to confirm I was right ;-)

I've some doubts but at last I've made up my mind! -- Jonjj, 09:12:33 05/11/01 Fri

It's tough job to make a prediction whereby you can easily choose at least 40 strong delegates for the tenth spots and then pick up the best amongst the best for the coveted crown. Almost everybody is a potential winner. I have no choice but to exclude some of my hot favourites such as Miss Philippines (out-in-out), Miss Trinidad and Tobago (in-in-out) and Miss Spain (in-out-out) for some reasons. Somehow for some personal reasons, Miss Korea and Miss India are still in my hot favourites for the TOP 10 and I even included Miss Korea in TOP 5 even though I have some doubt about their chances. For the obvious reasons, I had to include Miss Greece and Miss Nigeria as my TOP '10. By the way, I'll keep the reasons for myself ....

Though not my hot favourites, I think that Miss Bolivia, Miss Nicaragua, Miss Panama, Miss Brazil and Miss Dominican
Republic are very strong contenders as well. After viewing the photos most of the delegates for the preliminary event and reading comments from press and pageant fans after the events, I could not deny that Miss Antigua & Barbuda, Miss Egypt and Miss Angola could be amongst TOP 10 and eventually can go far than that. I would not be surprised if anyone of them including my other three hot favourites especially Miss Philippines will become an eventual winner.

As I said earlier, there are many more worthy contenders such as Miss Ireland, Miss Canada, Miss Yugoslavia, Miss Sweden, Miss Estonia, Miss Turkey, Miss Thailand, Miss Costa Rica, Miss Uruguay, Miss Peru, Miss Israel, Miss Lebanon, Miss Netherlands, Miss Switzerland, Miss Russia, Miss France, Miss Bulgaria and Miss Aruba, just to name some of them could easily be chosen amongst TOP 10.

For the obvious reasons, I do not think that my sentimental favourite, Miss Malaysia will be amongst TOP 10 or even TOP 30 due to very stiff competition even though I'd say that she is one of the best representative from our beloved country in Miss Universe pageants. Anyway she is pretty, intelligent and has very nice hair but she is quite slim and her evening gown with our national flower decoration in preliminary event was horrible. It's not the gown since it was not that bad and the colour was nice but what a mess having the awful flower decoration !.I could not imagine what's in the designer's mind by putting the flower?
Trying to be different, unique or to be nationalistic? If that the case, I somehow could not buy this idea. We have many good designers but she may not have much choice for some reasons.

I wish if she would have worn a lovely evening gown worn by stunningly beautiful Arianna Teoh in Miss World '94 pageant or something quite similar gown or any elegance gowns. I also wish that our delegate is as strong as Arianna Teoh, Lina Teoh, Rahima Orchient in Miss World pageant or Josephine Lena Wong in Miss Universe pageant, whom are undoubtedly were the best representatives from Malaysia for these two prestigious pageants.

At last I have to made up my mind and here it goes:

1) Top 10
Miss India,Miss Venezuela, Miss Mexico, Miss Nigeria, Miss USA
+ Top 5

2) Top 5
Miss Colombia, Miss Greece
+ Top 3

3) Second runner-up: Miss Puerto Rico
4) First runner-up: Miss Greece
5) Miss Universe 2001: Miss Colombia

6) NON-favorite delegate who, SURPRISINGLY, could be crowned Miss Universe 2001:
Miss Bolivia

7) Other strong possibilities (in order):
Miss Philippines/ Miss Antigua & Barbuda/ Miss Nicaragua/ Miss Panama/Miss Trinidad & Tobago/
Miss Spain/Miss Brazil/
Miss Egypt/Miss Jamaica

P/S: It's very tough for Celina to create a history by winning the coveted crown in two consecutive years but nothing is impossible even though she is not as good as Lara. All the best to her and her fans.

- Ooops... forgot to add this. I think Denise has all it takes for the coveted crown & Puerto Rico being the host country maybe an added advantage to her instead of a disadvantage as many fans think of. By the way, her current hair colour added some glamour but I'd prefer her with her darker colour! (NT) -- Original Poster! All the best to Denise too ...., 09:22:26 05/11/01 Fri
  - Oops sorry... Arianna, the most beautiful M'sian rep competed in MW'97. She was a semi-finalist & my hot favourite, gorgeous Diana Hayden won the coveted crown.

Tomorrow..... -- Jim Price, 18:22:44 05/10/01 Thu
Tomorrow is the big night after all this fortune telling about who will make the top 10, we will finally get our answer. I must say that this year's group of girls was outstanding and the to make the top 10 will not be easy. These girls are prepared and more than that determined.

After weeks of surfing throught the net and analizing all of these ladies, I still can't say who will make the semifinals but I can say some of the delegates I would like to see there....

1. Puerto Rico: Miss Fotogenic and to me Miss Popularity, its no mystery this girl has won the hearts of all Puerto Ricans, not only does she meet all beauty queen standards but it looks like she has the personality to booth.

2.Greece: Beautiful, there is not another word to define Evelina, tall and gorgeous, lets hope her personality does the trick.

3.Panama: pretty and simple, if Miss Puerto Rico tells all with the smile, Ivette's eyes do the trick for her. For 3 years in a row, this country has sent captivating ladies lets hope Miss Universe judges will finally wake up!

4.Nigeria: Black is Beautiful and this girl definately prove that! Tall, Dark and Gorgeous!

5.Venezuela: In my opinion, Eva is the most simple Miss Venezuela ever, its a diferent style and she carries it very well!

6.USA: This Texas girl was my one faviorte the moment she won the Miss USA but oddly enough she has lost strength since arriving to the island, lets hope she picks up pace if included in the top 10.
