Oprah On Miss Universe 2011 - Question and Answer Portion?

Miss Oprah Winfrey‘s reported comments on the recently concluded Miss Universe 2011 will surely put a black eye on this year’s result if this is really true.


Miss Universe 2011 crown was given to Miss Angola Leila Lopes.


However, the high profile celebrity, Miss Oprah, reportedly expressed her disappointment with the final results of the Miss Universe 2011. Twitter and Facebook posts say that she specifically pointed out how the contestants answered in the question and answer portion. Oprah expressed her favor on Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup over the rest of the Top 5 contestants.


For the record she's the only one who doesn't have an interpreter which means she don't have much enough time to think for the best answer while the other candidates have split seconds to. - Author

Oprah Winfrey comment about Miss Universe 2011 and Shamcey Supsup



“‘I have reservations with the results. If the only basis is the Q and A portion, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point.” - via NBC News

I think Miss Oprah Winfrey has a great point, and Shamcey Supsup deserve to be the Miss Universe than other contestant.

Miss Universe 2011: Miss Angola, Leila Lopes Gets the Crown

MissUniverse.com website wasn’t streaming tonight, and as far as I can tell, their website crashed. The only thing that keeps on going, relatively in real time, is Twitter. I am now following MissUniverse 2011, and as usual with live events, I am amazed by the comments supporting or condemning the performers. The world applauds Miss Philippines, Shamcey Supsup, for answering that the first person she loves is God. Never mind that love of God and World Peace are the cliche answers of the pageant – when beauty speaks, cliches no longer matter. And now, Shamcey Supsup is Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner-up, and her fans especially the Filipinos are going mad, yet proud – a dual feeling hard to express in words.
Then, there’s a matter of language: the world demands that the contestants speak English. As if, those who don’t, don’t deserve to be on that stage. But again, when beauty speaks, the language no longer matters. Miss Angola, Leila Lopes, would shine in any language.
Angola and Philippines were the most popular out of five finalists tonight on Twitter – the only livestream that matters for the PR professional who wants the real-time pulse of the events. But the judges of Miss Universe 2011 don’t have a live Twitter stream, and they don’t make their decisions based on the Twitter popularity of the contestant. And while Miss China, Luo Zilin, remains the fifth favorite, Ms. Brazil is Miss Universe 2011 2nd runner-up…
