⫸ ♛ MISS UNIVERSE PUERTO RICO 2019 IS MADISON ANDERSON !

[The Duchess]

Okay saw what I needed to see from the prelims (thank you Boricua21 for the links btw, you are a LIFESAVER) and these are my thoughts.

1. So...is it a Top 15 or a Top 16? Cause now I am confused.
2. San Sebastian will be higher on my list. She shined in both swimwear and evening wear (I had her at 16th)
3. The rumors are sadly true about Bayamon copying Catriona's walk. Will that ruin her chances of placing in the Top 15/16? IDK
4. I was able to confirm some of my doubts with the girls that were in my maybe list (Trujillo Alto, Gurabo, and Hatillo will not be on my final Top 16. I am especially disappointed in Gurabo. The girl has the entire package, but her evening wear and her walk were horrible)
5. I am still on the fence about Aguadilla, but I'm most likely not going to put her on my list.
6. My mom's favorites are Loiza and San Sebastian (though she thought that Loiza bombed during evening gown cause she didn't like the gown or hairstyle) She also liked Peñuelas in evening gown
7. Also my mom thinks that Loiza or San Sebastian will probably win because they fit the mold that the organization is looking for, in that they love WOC and girls with outstanding achievements (aka a Cheslie)
8. Madison is...Madison. Pure perfection
9. My other standouts are Arecibo and Villalba.
10. Not gonna lie...Carolina kinda disappointed me. She didn't stand out in the prelims. But she'll still make it to the Top 15/16

That's all I can think of right now. I just need confirmation if it's a Top 15 or a Top 16, and then I can update my list. I wanna know your opinions.

The judges choose a Top 15 and the public chooses an extra spot.

And YES, Laihany copied everything and then deleted comments telling her to please change her gown

Miss Carolina dress is basically the WTF moment of the night. it was just awful it look like a performance clothing for a circus. another poison gown was Salinas just awful and her styling during evening gown i mean common.

You're welcome @TheGenuineBeauty glad you watch it, Bayamon i know she can make it far but she needs to change the gown and the walk please, the rumors were true.

Thanks Such a shame about Bayamon. Well, we'll see what happens with that.

You're welcome @TheGenuineBeauty glad you watch it, Bayamon i know she can make it far but she needs to change the gown and the walk please, the rumors were true.

I thought you all knew but didn't mention it I've been ranting for days about Bayamon, and the reality is she doesn't seem to accept the suggestion or critic about it.

That awful gown was not doing her any favors either, she looked fat in it. i mean Catriona looked awful in the original design the Fathered one from the preliminaries why would she copy a bad dress. Its crazy does she even have promoters why would they let her do something so retarded.

[Islander1]

I'm not sure about Toa Baja. She's a hit or miss for me. I think when stacked up against the girls in Miss Universe, she'll fade. Bayamon has the best chances of going all the way in Miss Universe. That face is divine! Send her to the gym, sass up her stage presence and give her a killer gown and she's good to go. Dorado is pretty, but she's had the same styling from as far as I can remember. She needs to change it up. Camuy is another girl who could do really well in Miss Universe. Arecibo seems very sweet.

Actually she made a hybrid between the Phoenix feather dress AND the lava dress, plus copied the walk from one and expressions of the other. But the difference is the feather one had a better placement of the feathers, Jose Karlo legit put this huge diagonal area which only made her look wider than she is. She keeps saying it was inspired in the MUPR crown no it aint

[TheGenuineBeauty]

You're welcome @TheGenuineBeauty glad you watch it, Bayamon i know she can make it far but she needs to change the gown and the walk please, the rumors were true.

Personally I don't have a problem with the gown (I was never a fan of the diagonal cut in both Catriona and Laihany's dress but I love the color and the bead work on Laihany's more than on Catriona's #don'tkillme) It is different enough that it can stand on its own, just like Toa Baja's gown that somewhat resembles Denise's Miss Universe gown. The problem with the gown is that it accentuated her leg too much and...well she doesn't have the best legs for that gown.

The catwalk is the issue for me, not the gown. If she changes that then I am satisfied. But I am always in support of having a different gown for the finale. Now if it's another gown that is similar to Catriona's then that's another issue altogether.

Bayamon relies a LOT on styling, her face doesn't look as awesome with certain makeup and hairstyles then again ive never been too crazy about her. And I think I'm the only one who thinks Cayey looked better in Quien es la Corona than in the prelim

I only follow Road to MUPR on Instagram, so all of this is some fresh hot tea for me.

they are literally calling her Binibining Bayamon in certain places

Bayamon is gorgeous, but she needs to be more humble in the sense of accepting criticism, if she deleted the comments about the dress hey she needs to accept things and fix it, that's all.

Yes, she did. She deleted mine and that one was just telling her its best to change it to avoid comparisons. And then the ones she left she would answer very passive aggressively saying that while Catriona looked stunning in her gown, that transparencies and leg slips have been done from years before. Like girl, you copied. Just change the whole thing.

I didn't like the gown personally, the walk yes is so Catriona Gray, i don't know why she need it to walk that way, she needs to be her own self, her own person and like i said, she needs to accept things and not delete comments.

Yes exactly! she needs to change the whole thing in order to stand out coming finals night. LIke i said she needs to be more humble in that sense of accepting criticism.

That just tells me that her backup plan is probably another Catriona inspired gown

Well she's gonna miss her chance to make it, i hope she wakes up in order to make this, if not, is her crown to loose.

[MU2015]

Is there a way to watch the preliminary competition?, because I couldn't tune in tonight I had plans and missed it.

[alex sivixay]

No one actually talked about Carolina at the prelim I wonder how did she perform

[e_maris]

I'm not even bothered by Bayamon's dress, it's beautiful, all designs are repeated constantly, it's inevitable, what bothered me the most is her every move, was exactly like Catriona, and I pointed that out and people from her team told me that she didn't copy Catriona, because those moves do not belong to Catriona. lol I know she did copy Catriona, I mean, she has always been her fan, so it's obvious she admires her and imitated her, and to me, even if you can have an inspiration from someone, it's not a good idea TO COPY them.

[Nina Cleopatra]

My Choices after watching the Televised prelims:

Honestly, we got such a superavit of beauty I'm basically pleased if the following gilrs get the crown. All of them have a chance at winning Miss Universe.

Toa Baja: She only needs to work her body. She's basically set for Miss Universe. She trully shines.

San Sebastian: Gil would surely stand out at Miss Universe. Her impressive resume and Stage Presences is simply to much to be ignored.

Bayamon: Needs to work on her body and charisma and she's good to go. She could easily be among the most beautiful Miss Puerto Rico crowned in history.

Camuy: She's got the height, the catwalk, the face and the communication skills to win it all.

Dorado: She's got the beauty and catwalk. With proper training in comm skills we got ourself a front runner at Miss Universe. Her face screams Hollywood!



The Not my favorites but woulnt mind winning:

Loiza: Love her face and catwalk. Her resume is pretty strong as well.

Villalba: Not my favorite due to her height but her comm skills, experience and facial beauty is something to behold.

Carolina: Dissapointing Preliminary but she could shine at Miss Universe.

Cayey: Her body frame and Modeling Career could help her get noticed at Miss Universe.

Morovis: Her preliminary was superb and she's got beauty and great comm skills.



Girls I do not want to see with the Lido Crown:

Ivana: Girl NO!

[The Duchess]

No one actually talked about Carolina at the prelim I wonder how did she perform

To Me, she performed good BUT could have done SO MUCH better and it was because of the same thing as last time; her styling.

I think she will still place high, but at the Top 10 is all on her hands

[PR-Beauty]

I WATCHED THE PRELIMINARY COMPETITION AND GUESS WHAT............?????

I GOT NO OTHER OPTION THAN TO JUMP INTO TOA BAJA'S BANDWAGON. I'VE STATED THAT SHE'S NOT MY CUP OF TEA BEAUTY-WISE, BUT GIRL WAS THE STAR OF THE SHOW. SHE'S GOT IMPACT! LIKE TONS OF IMPACT. I THINK SHE WAS SIMPLY THE BEST OF THE NIGHT. BUT AGAIN, I'M WORRIED ON HOW IMPACTFUL SHE WOULD BE ON AN INTERNATIONAL BLOODBATH AS MISS UNIVERSE, AS HER FACE IS NOTHING MEMORABLE OR BEYOND EXTRAORDINARY. BUT HER PRESENCE IS REALLY THAT STRONG, THAT IT COULD MAKE HER GO VERY FAR IN MISS UNIVERSE.

THE OTHER GIRL I CAN SEE MAKING HUGE WAVES IN MISS UNIVERSE IS CAMUY, FABIOLA VALENTIN! SHE HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE SINCE THE BEGINNING AND THE GIRL IS SO BEAUTIFUL! SHE'S GOT ALL THE ATTRIBUTES TO MAKE A TOP 3 IN MISS UNIVERSE.

I WISH THAT THE BEST GIRL OF THE TWO DURING FINALS WINS THIS.

Aja, like WE KNOW you copied stop using that "nobody owns anything" speech; I hear it all the time in fashion classes too . Zuleyka doesn't own chained gowns but who made an impactful performance with it? Right

[e_maris]

And after finally watching the preliminary competition in HD, I can say that Madison blew my mind and I could see her as a Miss Universe in those instants, it's just some other kind of feeling when you see her among the other girls.

Other girls that I really liked a lot during the prelims were, Lares, Arecibo, Dorado, Bayamón, Loíza. Other girls that did well, Villalba, Morovis, Camuy, Aguadilla.

I was disappointed in Carolina, expected more from her, from the black girls, Loíza stole the show from her.

In another note... I've never liked San Sebastián, her beauty doesn't convince me and she tends to look very mature, but she did very well in the preliminary, I was even impressed with her during EG, she looked majestic while approaching the judges, that dress was sublime, but once she got close enough and that close up focused on her, it all wen't away, when she smiles it takes away her beauty completely. We can't send her to Miss Universe with that face, I don't care about her resume, it doesn't stand a chance with all those super beauties going to Miss Universe, and again, she doesn't look fresh at all.

I cannot agree more. Period. Exactly what I think.

[The Duchess]

Am I the only one who thinks Penuelas and Canovanas kinda gave up. There's some spark missing from past Melanie's years

[PR-Beauty]

MY PREDICTION:

1. TOA BAJA
2. CAMUY

----JUST A LEVEL LOWER----

3. VILLALBA
4. DORADO
5. LOIZA
