India’s Lara Dutta totally slayed it. When she started speaking, I eventually knew she’s gonna win. A very quick wit and intelligence this woman possessed. Truly a beautiful package of beauty and brains.
“Beauty and brains” isn’t a compliment because you’re assuming that it’s something rare in women and needs to be pointed out. Beauty and brains isn’t mutually exclusive
Always smiling and the calmest Miss Universe ... I don't know how many times I have listened her answer...to the point, without stutter, feel unrehearsed, precise and confident answer in the history of Miss Universe... Huge respect for Ms. Lara Dutta...
The fact that Lara asked politely to have the microphone to herself already gave her the victory. However, honestly, it was not too hard for the judge to chose Lara among the other two answers.
Miss Spain's answer wasn't translated in the best way, but I think her choice to answer in Spanish was strategic. That being said, Lara's answer is the stuff of legends.
India we have only two miss Universe but they both are our pride and one more thing In a week I listened her answer 9-10 times because I m addict... Love u ma'am... India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I believe Spain's answer was much better than what was interpreted. She clearly looked disappointed by the translation however Miss India's answer was just so damn perfect. The crown was hers the moment she grabbed that microphone. Miss India all the way..
Absolutely. And even if the interpreter did translate her answer properly India would have still won and Spain would have been 1st runner up over Venezuela. India all the way perfection!
Actually spain , she said the answer In one go , I wish she would have paused a bit in between, because generally in paegentry , translators mess up the answers if it is in one go , if she would have paused I think her place would have been higher like 1st runner up , or in top 2, but Venezuela was also kinda good. I think All top 3 slayed the answers In their language , but for spain just the translator didn't did good job
Helen Lindes is my favorite Miss Spain of all time & she is very beautiful even up to thia day. That is why she even won Miss Photogenic here in Miss Universe. That interpreter didn’t give her justice! But Lara Dutta totally nailed it. She deserved her victory.
Spain said beauty pageant are not just about beauty its about raising our voices and opinion so whether beautiful or not we deserve to be heard and the pageants gives us a chance to be heard as beauty title holder
@@arshdeepsethi5569 well, in the interpreter's defense, Spain gave a fully complete answer without breaking it for the interpreter to give an accurate translation. In such a high energy environment and auspicious moment, who would be able to memorize all what she said and give an accurate translation?
Actually I’d put Zozi ahead of Lara....then those like Wendy, Mpule and Chelsi and also Barbara Palacios Teyde. Catriona is a classic example of the Filipino effect.
No one could’ve even have come close ♥️ India always has such poised representatives that a killers in the question segments. Her demeanor reminds me of zozi - very confident and eloquent
1994 sushmita and 2000 lara yes i agree ...they were my favorite during their time...but of course in every year i have my own fav..in 2018 my favs are catriona and ms vietnam
True, even today this question is quite hard, but there are many Q&A training in recent years that would makes many candidates able to answer this question now. But back in 2000, this question is totally unexpected, would really shock everyone(even the audience) especially under such a high pressure moment in the MU Top3. That is why India did remarkably well, in fact she was too good, her answer was almost ahead of its time. Still relevant and strong today.
This is still the greatest answer in Miss Universe history. The Top 10 greatest Miss Universe final question Winning answers are: 01 Miss Universe 2000, Lara Dutta, INDIA 🇮🇳 02 Miss Universe 1994, Sushmita Sen, INDIA 🇮🇳 03 Miss Universe 2019, Zozibini Tunzi, SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 04 Miss Universe 2017, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 05 Miss Universe 2008, Dayana Mendoza, VENEZUELA 🇻🇪 06 Miss Universe 1998, Wendy Fitzwilliam, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO 🇹🇹 07 Miss Universe 1997, Brook Lee, USA 🇺🇸 08 Miss Universe 2007, Riyo Mori, JAPAN 🇯🇵 09 Miss Universe 1999, Mpule Kwelagobe, BOTSWANA 🇧🇼 10 Miss Universe 1992, Michelle McLean, NAMIBIA 🇳🇦
I am so agree with this. very straight to the point. no cheesy, cliche and so pageantry words being used. the answers are full wisdom, very authentic not some kind of memorized answers.
It was incredible for Miss India to think that answer and deliver it flawlessly. She has the best record in the Miss universe history; And it’s no wonder why! Great personality, unconventional beauty, impeccable communication skills and approachable humble nature. She was a set apart from all the contestants. Congratulations to Miss India from America.
Miss Spain´s translator destroyed her great answer. Based on the content she should´ve been at least first runner up. You can see Spain´s face of disappointment when she hears the translation...
Ok here goes the final round and to determine this based on how they responded to the question, so Spain now Portuguese is very similar to Spanish......the interpreter did not respond correctly but Spain did give a great response the interpreter didn't, Venezuela poor English language but the answer was ok....,India definitely on point and determined so in the end............👑India has tooken been determined 😎💯💖 In the end............ Miss Universe India 1st ru Spain 2nd ru Venezuela
Well it's 20 years, but these interpreters don't do full justice, India won Lara was awesome so calm collected absolutely bang on it looked as if she couldn't do anything wrong like so confident and at the same time elegant simply awesome👍👍👍👍 we are so proud of her and would always be Sushmita, Lara, Aishwarya, Priyanka, all made us so proud on the world stage.
nina ricci alagao should be in top 5...she is beautuful smart she cn easily nailed the question and answer portion.... in tagalog nangllamon sya ng mic
I feel so bad for Spain. You can see the disappointment in her face when she heard the interpreter translate her answer. She should have just answered it in English
Only Sushmita, Lara from India are the perfect winners, Harnaaz somehow doesn't have the personality, wit, charm and natural flair and radiance like the other two have.
Although Lara’s answer killed it but there’s more to the answer than reality.. most of the Indian models entering pageant doesn’t seem to enter into armed forces or entrepreneurship it’s their way to enter into films. So yes the protest indeed had some point as they looked at the bigger picture not some cleverly drafted shallow message.
@@chinedumisco8582 the same way you think Venezuela is the prettiest is the same way I think Spain is the prettiest. It’s a matter of preference. Spain has features I like the most.
Miss Thailand is more superior than Lara Dutta. This question can have a different answer applied today as the progress since has been quite obvious: "Beauty pageants are not what they used to be. Slowly but surely, beauty pageants will be and for women. We already get a platform to showcase our minds and potential by being presentable to look at, but pageants are slowly moving towards being organized for audiences who support and celebrate women. So they could no longer disrespect and objectify women in the future." Lara's answer while delivered well wasn't realistic. All beauty queens including herself end up in showbiz.
This was the question the very eloquent Miss Philippines, Nina Ricci Alagao would've answered far better than Lara Dutta of India had the former made it to the final round.
That’s why they didn’t include Nina in the semifinals. MU org fixed Lara to win. Lara was a favorite from the very beginning. But having Nina in the semifinals would give Lara a run for her money.
Spain and India both have similar answers. If Spain answer was only translated accurately. The difference was that India was more detailed and ate that mic with no crumbs.
India’s Lara Dutta totally slayed it. When she started speaking, I eventually knew she’s gonna win. A very quick wit and intelligence this woman possessed. Truly a beautiful package of beauty and brains.

Lara Dutta: the biggest mic drop moment in Miss Universe history. Amazing answer, amazing delivery.
Always smiling and the calmest Miss Universe ...
I don't know how many times I have listened her answer...to the point, without stutter, feel unrehearsed, precise and confident answer in the history of Miss Universe...
Huge respect for Ms. Lara Dutta...

The most beautiful answer in the history of Universe Miss India
Indian girls are way better than any contestant on miss universe so far if they get a chance to final q n a they will win
India we have only two miss Universe but they both are our pride and one more thing In a week I listened her answer 9-10 times because I m addict... Love u ma'am... India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Now it's 3🙂
Congratulations! Now you have three. All of them are the true beauty with brain
Even if Ms Spains interpreter did well, she wouldn't be able to come anywhere near to Lara's answer.
India is the absolute winner
I believe Spain's answer was much better than what was interpreted. She clearly looked disappointed by the translation however Miss India's answer was just so damn perfect. The crown was hers the moment she grabbed that microphone. Miss India all the way..
Absolutely. And even if the interpreter did translate her answer properly India would have still won and Spain would have been 1st runner up over Venezuela. India all the way perfection!
Because she answer it straightly in Spanish before the interpreter translate it in English
She should answer 1 sentence then stop for her interpreter to translate
Actually spain , she said the answer In one go , I wish she would have paused a bit in between, because generally in paegentry , translators mess up the answers if it is in one go , if she would have paused I think her place would have been higher like 1st runner up , or in top 2, but Venezuela was also kinda good.
I think All top 3 slayed the answers
In their language , but for spain just the translator didn't did good job

Ok...it is better she speaks in english.
That translator ruined it all..... Otherwise it was a good answer
@@arshdeepsethi5569 well, in the interpreter's defense, Spain gave a fully complete answer without breaking it for the interpreter to give an accurate translation. In such a high energy environment and auspicious moment, who would be able to memorize all what she said and give an accurate translation?
So in that case the placements should have been:
2nd Runner Up - Venezuela 🇻🇪
1st Runner Up - Spain 🇪🇸
Miss Universe 2000 - India 🇮🇳
if thats the translation, her answer would be second best.
India was perfect♥️
When it comes to Question Answer round I don't think any country can beat Indian Girl's...💜😘
And Lara Dutta is Best Example of this...😘
BTS INDIAN Army YES 1994 sushmita and 2000 lara i agree...
And now harnaz sandhu
In 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu! 👸🇮🇳
After Lara, the most eloquent Miss Universe is Zozi....
@LP Ylanan zozi....nope cat
Actually I’d put Zozi ahead of Lara....then those like Wendy, Mpule and Chelsi and also Barbara Palacios Teyde. Catriona is a classic example of the Filipino effect.
Exactly...
I agree
@LP Ylanan zozi is better speaker than Cat
That’s why she win Miss U, great answer, very intellectual, full confidence in her.
Clear winner 😘Indiaaaaaaaaa🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Miss Universe 👑 India
2nd place Spain
3rd place Venezuela
If I was the judge my decision.
The wittiest Miss Universe ever
No one could’ve even have come close ♥️ India always has such poised representatives that a killers in the question segments. Her demeanor reminds me of zozi - very confident and eloquent
1994 sushmita and 2000 lara yes i agree ...they were my favorite during their time...but of course in every year i have my own fav..in 2018 my favs are catriona and ms vietnam
Lara Dutta nailed her answer ❤️
India did give the best answer.
I think this was the most Difficult Question Asked in the History of Miss Universe
With this question, if were me I would be dumbfounded and can’t think of any answer.

Just see 1995 miss India's answer once buddy.....
1997 Brooke lee is best... Nd dayana mendoza response was far better than demi.
Why don't you upload every freaking whole version of Miss Universe?
Spain is so pretty! And i think the commentators understand her spanish that is why they said that the interpreter didn't properly translated it.
Venezuela is still the prettiest amongst those last 3
Venezuela heard how bad the translator was with Miss Spain, so she took the English approach and was amazing
While miss Spain answering the question,miss Venezuela was wearing sound proof headphone .
@@michaelsonortega2387 body language, u could tell the translator was like stuttering by her hand movements
3:58 periodt queen, she knew she ate that up 🤩✨

Buena respuesta? Jajaa
Is anyone here can translate what ms.spain really said? I can see from her face shes disappointed with how her answer translated
Every Indian watching this knows she was probably practicing questions with her parents for years lol
1st Runner up and 2nd Runner up are same faces? Twins?
X eso gano lara x su belleza e inteligencia gano y las aplasto!
Lara is a beautiful person from heart and extremely talented
Ok here goes the final round and to determine this based on how they responded to the question, so Spain now Portuguese is very similar to Spanish......the interpreter did not respond correctly but Spain did give a great response the interpreter didn't, Venezuela poor English language but the answer was ok....,India definitely on point and determined so in the end............👑India has tooken been determined 😎💯💖
In the end............
Miss Universe India
1st ru Spain
2nd ru Venezuela
Kindly translate Spain's answer pls.
1st Runner up is Venezuela
Inidia the best that year
Poor Spain. She looked very hopeless and disappointed after hearing her interpretation.
Mala la traducción
Bad translation
Translator killed her. However, Miss India did her best.
India was unbeatable
Well it's 20 years, but these interpreters don't do full justice, India won Lara was awesome so calm collected absolutely bang on it looked as if she couldn't do anything wrong like so confident and at the same time elegant simply awesome👍👍👍👍 we are so proud of her and would always be Sushmita, Lara, Aishwarya, Priyanka, all made us so proud on the world stage.
Lara👑👑👑👑👑👑❤❤❤❤
the best Q&A in the MU History
With her answer and demeanor Ms. Dutta transcended the concept of the beauty pageant.
Goosebumps 🇮🇳
Lara just flew❤what an answer
Still no one comes near to Lara when we talk about q&a.
❤❤ Lara 😘
Beautiful Ms. Spain
No doubt about it that India deserved it
nina ricci alagao should be in top 5...she is beautuful smart she cn easily nailed the question and answer portion....
in tagalog nangllamon sya ng mic
La traductora no ayudo mucho a España resumió su respuesta mejor debió responder en inglés....debió quedar 1 finalista España x respuesta y belleza..
Spain so beautiful
I feel so bad for Spain. You can see the disappointment in her face when she heard the interpreter translate her answer. She should have just answered it in English
Only Sushmita, Lara from India are the perfect winners, Harnaaz somehow doesn't have the personality, wit, charm and natural flair and radiance like the other two have.
Miss Spain knew there’s something or lacking what she meant to say😅 due to laziness of the interpreter 😂
Venezuela's Claudia Morena also deserved to win. Imagine if she won and crowned Denise Quiñones.
Spain is not wearing earrings. What a pity no budget for jewelry from a rich country.
Spain is most beautiful.
India for me
India..she hold Miss Intercontinental before. She come to Cyprus just to claim her MU title. Other compete 1st RU position.
Venezuela for me
India the best ever answer
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Que mala la traducción de la respuesta de miss españa… Claramente la perjudico en el resultado final. España debió ser primera finalista
Could you please translate what she said and translate it for us?
Por su propia culpa! Leí en otro foro q su mamá es británica. Entonces ¿por qué no habló inglés?
The interpreter was awful...
Venezuela q respondio un disparate. Divagaba y decia las mismas palabrass
Kung nakafazok Lang c Philippines malamang tatalunin Sha ni Nina ricci alagao
In your dreams! She is not even close to intelligence of Lara! Loser
Although Lara’s answer killed it but there’s more to the answer than reality.. most of the Indian models entering pageant doesn’t seem to enter into armed forces or entrepreneurship it’s their way to enter into films. So yes the protest indeed had some point as they looked at the bigger picture not some cleverly drafted shallow message.
First coment
Spain was by far the prettiest woman there and for that reason alone I would’ve have put her first LOL
She looked like Keira Knightley 😍😍😍
Prettier than Venezuela here?👀
How do you define beauty?
@@chinedumisco8582 the same way you think Venezuela is the prettiest is the same way I think Spain is the prettiest. It’s a matter of preference. Spain has features I like the most.
pretty in the eye of beholder u sore loser
I personally think miss Spain answer are better than miss India..it's just my opinion
Nice joke🤣🤣🤣🤣
Miss Spain answer was great but India's answer was just phenomenal..
Yes, keep telling yourself that. 😂😂😂😂😂
Take Venezuela and Spain, very beautiful, but India looks very ordinary, dressed up
Its all about beuty with brain😅
East or west india is the best..
You are blind
Miss Thailand is more superior than Lara Dutta. This question can have a different answer applied today as the progress since has been quite obvious:

But shes not in the top 3 so case dismissed
lol..
move on girl it has been 2 decades!
Lara is a far better speaker and Nina is ugly just like most of your country's winners
That’s why they didn’t include Nina in the semifinals. MU org fixed Lara to win. Lara was a favorite from the very beginning. But having Nina in the semifinals would give Lara a run for her money.
