When I say this upload took me forever 😮😅 (it was supposed to be up by Monday). Anyway guys, I hope you all enjoyed this video and please do share your swimsuit faves. Recommended speed: 1.25x or 1.5x.
Swimsuit is an important part of the competition. Fact is you have to perform before you get to speak. You may be the most powerful speaker but end up not touching the mic
I do agree my friend ? So who is your steady favourite from the swimsuit prelims ? And perhaps your overall favourite with both aspects that you mentioned included?
I feel like Natasha is giving the bare minimum for someone who has literally walked the miss universe stage, some newcomers have outperformed her and people keep saying we're expecting too much from her but how can we not? I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't make top 12. I also feel like Melissa's performance was effortless in the best way possible, she wasn't over the top with it but it still felt powerful.
Mmmh I’ll take a revisit and rewatch out girl Melissa specifically. I do believe though that that’s just the nature of her being, her aura. She comes across as easy going and effortless, which is also very good if people can read you as such because you don’t have to work twice as hard to get noticed. I think from her though I wanted more energy and technical ability. That’s it literally (it’s literally why Karla is my unpopular number one, sis is trained very well). Anyway who are your other swimsuit standouts?
Is it just me that feels like that little ramp they walk on is not enough to show their full potential? I think it's one of the things hindering them from truly PERFORMING.
I agree, I think that ramp supports the girls being able to walk up and down but not to necessarily perform or display skills. One wrong step and you’re falling off. Who are your favourite people irregardless of this situation though 😂😂?
I disagree with marking the ladies down based on familiarity.... we like new things but Melissa did really good. Yes she can do more but she was faaaar better than Nande and even Dona. (Love em both) just saying we should be objective in our scrutiny of our comeback girls.
The level of expectation for them is higher because of that “golden” experience and knowing how to best show up the second time around. I think it is a profound disservice to praise the bare minimum from someone just because we’re ‘familiar’ with them. Nande should she come back or be advanced further will also be held to a higher standard of expectation in my books, I’ve seen other clips from Donnatella and she’s also just a class of her own right now for me. Objectively speaking considered ‘veterans’ should always strive to earn their keep by being a class ahead of others (this case the new girls). No other national pageant from my observation ever goes out of its way to crown a quote show pony with the same tricks. Even if they were objectively good, they need to be “above good”. You get me 😂? And I’m harder on Jords & Melissa because “they are crowning material”. Easier on the new girls because I understand they’re still learning to pace themselves and adjust to this kind of environment. I appreciate this though, I’ll be laid back in future 😩 though I can’t say that with certainty.
@@pontshomokgatane47 I never said that (how can I not like someone who is a complete stranger to me ?), with regard to her swimsuit (she was notable) but my difference in perspective/ opinion deserves to hold weight because I see and appreciate the girls differently from you. Have your favourites but in supporting them don’t damper their image because i analysed them in a way that didn’t meet your expectations. This is the bare minimum - don’t assume anything & be kinder 🩷

No barbara?
Did you miss my mention of her, our sister needs to work on this aspect. It’s a challenge that all the ladies could actually improve on. ♥️
@@wandilemthembu she is better than many in your top 10 you just don't like her
