SRI LANKA TAKES TALENT
The Talent competition took place on Tuesday night in the city of Luohe, and the winner was Miss Sri Lanka, who delivered a flawless and exciting national dance of her country.
Miss New Zealand and her also great Chicago show, came in 2nd place, followed by Miss Zimbabwe, who danced as well.
Miss Lithuania, however, who sang with absolute perfection, seemed to be the favorite of a few judges. However, the judges were informed by mistake that she had lip-sync, which made them not vote for her.
The unhappy incident caused great discomfort among the Lithuanian delegation, press, and even among contestants, who thought she deserved to win.
“I can sing for you now”, said a very upset Miss Lithuania at the hotel lobby, right after the show. “It’s so unfair, of course I was singing, I can’t believe the judges were told I wasn’t”, she said.
Other great performers of the night were Bali, Fernando de Noronha, Philippines, Tartastan and Nepal.
40 girls participated in last night’s competition.
