Miss Earth 2013 Review

Here are my rants and reviews regarding the Miss Earth 2013 pageant which culminated last December 7:

The live update of the pageant at Starworld opened with a failure. It doesn’t have a sound and the lighting was just so bad, there are many dark areas in the venue. The National Musuem was a better venue.

I like the many sponsor awards. It means so much for the candidates, and the awards were pretty distributed.

It was difficult for some girls to move since some of them fear that they might fall off from the stage/stairs. Some delegates were even late during the gown presentation.

Give us better camera-men please. They didn’t give us good angles. The calling of the top 16 was not visually suspense-filled. Background music was not also at its best. No drum rolls, and that’s a pity.

The Wrecking Balls background of Miley Cyrus during the gown presentation was a big no-no. It was so, so barangay-yish. Give us background songs from nature – like the musical chirping of the birds, etc.

David Pomeranz was a great singer, but please, just ask him to sing once.

Is it the candidates who are to provide interpreters? Why is it that Miss Universe doesn’t run out of interpreters? Some candidates lost their chances because of their very bad English, hardly understandable. But I guess if Serbia and Poland had interpreters, the placement of the elemental queens may have been different.

The Miss Earth Pageant is fair. The victory of Venezuela is sweeter because it happened on the country which is their rival for the country of the year. This only goes to show that the winning candidate indeed deserved it.

Best of Luck to Alyz! She’s beautiful and I believe she has a good heart too.
