This was my all time FAVORITE Miss America pageant! I still remember this like it was yesterday. This was when I knew I wanted to compete in pageants one day. After I watched her win, I started working on my Gifted & Talented project the very next day and it was about the Miss America pageant. LOL
I love to see someone truly appreciate something they worked so hard for but truly didn't think/believe it was theirs until it happened. This is true gratuity for her moment. Makes me happy for her all over again and everytime I see it. She truly reveled in this moment and the suprise was priceless! GO GIRL!
The very best edition of all Miss America pageant and Ericka deserves the title and the prize. Her priceless reaction is so much natural and awesome, why not because of the scholarship. What i like in this edition is that all candidates are friendly and not ao competing with each other. The organization in that year, the host and the format are amazing. And that is why this is the best!
Seriously this is probably the most honest and genuine reaction you will ever find....if the word "glee" could be put into a video it would be this moment
she is the sweetest person you will ever meet.. she does so much in my state regarding the state pageant, even though she doesnt live there!! she deserved the title and to any racist people.. you dont know anything about her and where she is from. she is a wonderful woman and will go far in anything she hopes to do.
Most hilarious crowning moment ever!!!! But let's be honest people, if you had just won a huge scholarship like that, wouldn't you be freaking out like that too? :D
Ericka's reaction was priceless and when she was announced the New Miss America the former Miss America has to crown her and quite couldn't get it done initially because Ericka was just besides herself.....soo funny (but very genuine).
Awesome moment in time. She is so sweet & I ran into her &her mom several times @ regalia in Orlando , where she got all her gowns. She was very supportive @ our muss gay Florida america pageants for female impersonation & came to watch her year prior to winning this. So much for being conservative! She was done up by a strong group of drag queens from orlando that winning year! Head to toe!
I also thought Miss Maryland looked like Michelle Obama's! Her reaction is hilarious. I'm really enjoying watching Ericka on The Amazing Race, it was fun to see this!
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa! I remember this crowning moment sooooo well! That Erica! She pretty much cheered like Quasimodo in "Hunchback", if you ask me! I just LOVE this crowning moment! : )
It is with sadness that I inform you that Florida's first Miss America, Eva Leanza Cornett (known by her middle name), Miss America 1993, passed away recently from injuries resulting from a fall in her home in Jacksonville, Florida. She was 49 years old. Condolences to her family.

Not sure if she was the leader, or favorite going into the finals, but what she did live that night, winning talent and eveing gown sealed it for her. I thing Maryland was the strongest one going into the finals.
It’s funny they both won a major competition in 2004 but they’re reactions were pretty much the same lol. Both had earring, necklace or a bracelet fall off of them because they were jumping for joy over they’re win.
patricia spates We used to be able to go to the MAO website and pay $50.00 for VHS tapes and then at some point the option for a DVD at the same price. However, the MAO has been on again, off again in litigation, at least to my understanding, with the estate of the man who in less than 30 minutes wrote the theme song, "There she is", and consequently, sometime in the early 2000's a judgement of some sort was ordered forcing MAO from selling anymore of the recordings until the lawsuit is settled. I think it is the Bernie Wayne or Bernie Wright estate. I however did some research and asked around, and happen to have found out about a website where you can go to and order past pageants....if you would like that info, feel free to email me at my private email address: pkeenan528@gmail.com Patrick is my first name
This made me cry. The first black woman and it was only 3 years ago. I wish I could remember seeing it when it first aired. Is that Tyrese singing "There She Is, Miss America"?
I remember watching this pageant on TV, and I just love that part when Erica Harold tries to crown Erica Dunlap! That's priceless! I was glad she won!
she is my homeroom and English teacher this year
seriously?
Shannon Figler really
Nice!
stunning beautiful woman.
No way!
Beautiful moment when her parents received her at the end of the run way..
This made my heart light up so much! I couldn't help but cry tears of joy for her. I love to see people happy (dreams can come true)

funny but true it's her bubblely personality.
She looked so beautiful as she took her walk especially when she put the yellow rose in her head.
I could not help but cry inside when I saw Erica's parents come on the stage.
I imagine how proud they were that day of their daughter.
One of my favorite Miss Americas! ❤️
she is the sweetest person you will ever meet.. she does so much in my state regarding the state pageant, even though she doesnt live there!! she deserved the title and to any racist people.. you dont know anything about her and where she is from. she is a wonderful woman and will go far in anything she hopes to do.

Her Crowning Is Undoubtedly The Funniest,Greatest Crowning EVER! Her Reactions and What she Said Was Great!!
yellow is the color of joy
Most hilarious crowning moment ever!!!! But let's be honest people, if you had just won a huge scholarship like that, wouldn't you be freaking out like that too? :D
She sounds like Halle Berry when she won her Academy Award. Their voices sound similar.
Yass
She’s adorable! What a crowning moment 😍😍😍
This is by far my favorite reaction.
the one year I watched. I remember Ericka was poised and together........until this moment. It was funny, genuine and entertaining, the entire thing.
One of my very favorite Miss Americas! ❤️❤️❤️
Ericka's reaction was priceless and when she was announced the New Miss America the former Miss America has to crown her and quite couldn't get it done initially because Ericka was just besides herself.....soo funny (but very genuine).
Una de las reacciones más hermosas de todos los tiempos en los concursos de belleza !❤

YAY! I went to both High School and College with her!!!!
Not sure if she was the leader, or favorite going into the finals, but what she did live that night, winning talent and eveing gown sealed it for her. I thing Maryland was the strongest one going into the finals.
She could have been a little more excited! LOL!!!
How come she got no flowers?
"I;m going to Disneyworld!" LOL!
@bigscary40 oh wow...thanks alot!! I'm going to try to search for that song

She looks like a dark skin Beyonce to me just stunning black beauty!
Me winning something
This reminds me of when Fantasia won American Idol. Love these moments.
It’s funny they both won a major competition in 2004 but they’re reactions were pretty much the same lol. Both had earring, necklace or a bracelet fall off of them because they were jumping for joy over they’re win.
This one was at least a good choice. We’re still mystified about the fantasia thing
This is a really raction, Ericka don't wait it. Oh my goooood!!!!😢😢😢
she dropped her earring! That was THE BEST!!!!!
do anyone know where you can find the full show for miss america 2004?

This is the only miss America from before 2008 that is on CZcams
This made me cry. The first black woman and it was only 3 years ago. I wish I could remember seeing it when it first aired. Is that Tyrese singing "There She Is, Miss America"?
can be competitive with miss botswana 1999
Who is singing this version of "There She Is?"
jejejejejeje, que emocion la de esta mujer
who threw her that flower? was the apart of the show or she just so happen to catch it?!
Don't forget about the 1991 winner Marjorie Vincent, and the 1994 winner Kimberly Aiken.
What did she take on the floor?
Oh I didn't know. Thanks for telling me.
I went to High School with her!!!! Go Ericka!!!!!
Completely agree! Actually of pagents all-time!
oh my god !!!!!!!!!
that song is deffantly going on my i pod lol
Did you hear the Boo's when Miss Maryland was named 3rd runner up!
Maybe because she's could've won the maybe
*Officer...................................There she is*
RIP Mr. Paul Mooney, and thank you for speaking TRUTH 🙏🏼
the young slim black women can win mainstream beauty contests👠🇺🇸!
Oh lighten up. I'd be saying that in my head if i was trying to crown her.
