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!
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.
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
I know that feeling of winning something grand.. Won a trip to any Caribbean destination in 2002 and remember when I was called I dropped the phone and started running.
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
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!
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! : )
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!

If the program is called Miss America (current year), how come it most times always airs in September of the previous year? Like was there some false advertisement tactic I missed?
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.
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"?
That's not quite what I was getting at, she just has the happy-surprised look that seems more apropos to getting to the final 5...not for getting picked off first. But you are right, 5th of 51 is huge.
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!
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)

Beautiful moment when her parents received her at the end of the run way..
She was so surprised and excited, A great reaction. She was beautiful and talented. Ms. Hawaii was so beautiful also. Thanks for the post.
I can watch this over & over again & I will always smile & laugh over Ericka Dunlap's reaction 2 being crowned Miss America 2004.
what a stunning woman. beautiful in that yellow gown and a wonderful Miss America. thsnks Eric
This is by far my favorite reaction.

funny but true it's her bubblely personality.
One of my favorite Miss Americas! ❤️
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.
what a gorgeous woman. Wow.
LOVE that rose in her hair! go ericka!
She sounds like Halle Berry when she won her Academy Award. Their voices sound similar.
She’s adorable! What a crowning moment 😍😍😍
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 looked so beautiful as she took her walk especially when she put the yellow rose in her head.
I know that feeling of winning something grand.. Won a trip to any Caribbean destination in 2002 and remember when I was called I dropped the phone and started running.
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
I love her reaction! It is one of the most memorable. The other would be Miss USA 1982 Terri Utley.
the one year I watched. I remember Ericka was poised and together........until this moment. It was funny, genuine and entertaining, the entire thing.
yellow is the color of joy
Her Crowning Is Undoubtedly The Funniest,Greatest Crowning EVER! Her Reactions and What she Said Was Great!!
Una de las reacciones más hermosas de todos los tiempos en los concursos de belleza !❤
This classic Miss America beauty pageant brings me back to my memories since I was a 13 year old kid in middle school back in September 2003!😀🙏🏾🩶💜
The crowd really liked Ms Maryland that year.
Yes they did!
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.

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!
She raced with her then-husband Brian Kleinschmidt.
So beautiful, so graceful, so poised- until they called her name!!!!!! Then all bets were off!!!!!!!

I’m so glad they don’t shove the mic in their face right after winning anymore. Let them have their moment to freak lol
hilarious! she even picked up her earring.. haha

She's adorable
Kikoy Galang .

Wow i love her
She looks like a dark skin Beyonce to me just stunning black beauty!
Big moment for her
*Officer...................................There she is*
RIP Mr. Paul Mooney, and thank you for speaking TRUTH 🙏🏼
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
she dropped her earring! That was THE BEST!!!!!
YAY! I went to both High School and College with her!!!!
2:09 priceless moments
Who's here after watching thw crowning of Miss Teen USA 2020?? 😂
the young slim black women can win mainstream beauty contests👠🇺🇸!
Don't forget about the 1991 winner Marjorie Vincent, and the 1994 winner Kimberly Aiken.
she's so natural .. liked her reaction lol
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"?
This is a really raction, Ericka don't wait it. Oh my goooood!!!!😢😢😢
praise the LORD!!
Me winning something
Completely agree! Actually of pagents all-time!
Actually the 8th/9th whichever way you want to see it. There was Vanessa Williams and Suzette Charles who were crowned in 1984.
i just meet her today at my class
can be competitive with miss botswana 1999
who threw her that flower? was the apart of the show or she just so happen to catch it?!
anybody know that version of "miss america" I would love to listen to it
I went to High School with her!!!! Go Ericka!!!!!
she's the best Miss America titleholder ever!
Well maybe not quite
But a good one
That's not quite what I was getting at, she just has the happy-surprised look that seems more apropos to getting to the final 5...not for getting picked off first. But you are right, 5th of 51 is huge.
Does anybody know who sings this version of the "miss america song" I really want it!!!
What is the difference between miss USA and miss America? Is this includes south central and North America?
Representing 50 states, DC, PR, USVI
Miss America is a Scholarship Pageant while Miss USA is a Beauty Pageant
@@lbee8158 yeah but that includes latin america and south america right. Coz its says 'america'
@@janyou17 Only Puerto Rico. I forgot the explanation of that. They even have US British Islands in MA
She lost all that poise in Czech Republic when someone tried to take her beer LOL!
Did you hear the Boo's when Miss Maryland was named 3rd runner up!
Maybe because she's could've won the maybe
she's gonna be on the amazing race 15!
Nice her parents on runway.
This is the only miss America from before 2008 that is on RUclips
@bigscary40 oh wow...thanks alot!! I'm going to try to search for that song
