  • Well, of course megan wouldn't want to be smart.... she is nowhere near smart.. ;)

  • they all look so much prettier with no make up or costumes on

  • WHO THE HELL CALLS THEIR CHILD STORY?!

  • story is so cute. Too bad she looks like a street walker half the time. 

  • OH MY GOD HER NAME IS STORY? wtf.

  • so cute chowder used to love that show

  • ok i can honestly say that after hearing this part of the show i would rather enter my daughter into natural beauty pageants, that way she would realize that she should embrace her natural beauty <3 :)

  • @Bitesize1991 But it's still about how beauty is so darn important, when it isn't really.

    It's important only if your entire self-worth is tied in with your beauty (natural or not), and you don't have the skills or the intelligence to be of any value any other way.

  • you can tell which is fake , & which is natural

  • 6:05 she'd rather be pretty..

    i'd like for her to come back on the show in 10-20 years and let me see where her "prettiness" has gotten her. personally if i could be pretty and smart that would be cool but if i had to pick one it would be smart because brains last longer then physical beauty. i think these pageants make girls hate other girls for being prettier. this is why society is so fucked up. they are constantly judging each other on who's the prettiest.

  • @xxxtoxicjelloxxx Unfortunately, life is that way. whether we instill those values in them through pageants or not, those messages come across everywhere, tv, magazines, movies etc. There is no stopping it. It is a fact that people who are better looking, or even more confident in themselves, in combination with drive and intelligence, go further in life. I watched a study on that recently so I know.

  • @xxxtoxicjelloxxx I dont say i agree with it, but thats life. If pageants can help give those girls more self esteem, which they all seem to have, then at least they are getting something out of it.

  • i think any kind of competion that's based on looks is wrong.

  • I'm pretty sure all little girls would rather be pretty than be smart. I mean, what hurts a little girl's feelings more than being called ugly? They grow and learn that there are more important things than being tan with perfect hair. Hopefully.

  • @GypsyBaby396 i can assure you that i value intelligence over 'beauty' anytime (whatever 'beauty' means in present society): i have been a model but quit it because i didn't found it satisfying - i feel like there is so much more a human being can do than look pretty in front of a camera.

    these children are fed the wrong values

  • @GintokisGirl95 My boyfriend's name is Easy, and when I first met him I laughed so fucking hard. 'Hi, I'm Easy' XD

  • I still can't get over the fact that the lady named her daughter 'Story'.....

  • the natural girl looks like she came out from s disney movie. disney princesses dont wear much make up

  • @ammelinecool disney princesses aren't real; you wouldn't know how much make up they are or aren't wearing..

  • I rather be smart.. 

  • I'm sorry, but what kind of name is Story for a human being?

  • these girls are all so beautiful

  • @PoonamTv

    Normal 10 year old girls (that's a 4th grader mind you) don't care about their looks

  • I actually think that the natural beauty pageant contest is not such a bad thing, because it teaches the little girls that you can be naturally pretty and not need a shit ton of makeup and fake hair to look beautiful.

  • @glamourboy69

    though the winner will be more beautiful than the runner up.

  • @runningbabe43 Why? What do you mean? Sorry, I'm a little confused lol

  • @glamourboy69

    oh sorry, im not being mean to you! i just mean that it is still a contest and they still are judged on looks. i dont think it is right for little kids!

  • @runningbabe43 Oh don't don't worry lol I knew you weren't being mean to me. And I respect your opinion, I just didn't understand what you meant in your first message lol

  • @glamourboy69 it also teaches them to be full blown spoiled bitches when they are older :D

  • She's a 10 year old girl, what 10 year old girl doesn't want to be pretty?!

  • also wish a better host than Tyra picked up this subject xD

  • glitz or natural, i dont care, both r just wrong!

  • did u see the salor bikini swim suit that blonde haired girl was wearing? How is that not suggestive?

  • In regards to the question asking 'would you rather be smart or pretty?' - she should have answered by cleverly pointing out that this question is merely the fallacy of a false dichotomy. =)

  • see i hate beauty pagents, but i respect the natural one way more, it teaches the kid that you can be beautiful while still being yourself and being natural with nothing fake, teaches them to love themselves for who they are, while a "glitz" one teaches them the exact opposite, that they can't be pretty without being fake.

  • WHO NAMES THEIR KID STORY.

  • every girl should always be told she is beautiful, not that the other girl is more beautiful then she is.

  • @chippyrox shes a kid...

  • ......

  • "My favourite food's a hot dog"

  • Oh my goodness... I just want to squish Story. How adorable. Too bad she's dipped in rhinestones and foundation.

  • 3:09 scared the shit out of me.

  • smart=nerds and nerds=your future boss

  • I never thought I'd see an episode of Tyra where Tyra was actually the smartest person on stage. She says some real stupid shit sometimes, but these crazy parents and misguided gals make her look like Kasparov.

  • Haha storys so cute

  • My daugther got the dame black and pink swim suit

  • I love Tyra. She always knows what to say.. God Bless!

  • Of course if you asked a little girl which would you rather be she's gonna say pretty!

  • Story is just like the cutest little girl ever<3 Lol

  • i think its stupid how she advertized the todlers and tiaras show after the program that was clearly against it -.-

  • i want to be in pageants!

  • I'd rather be pretty too! It's usually the first impression you give when in public. Hahaaa

  • i know i put this on the other videos but ALL the parents say are,"She looks good natural" ok now lets put all this makeup on and also how she said she'd rather be pretty than smart and being smart is nerdy, yeah right, my dad is smart and was smart and he's a congressman!!! take that lil' jerk

  • Who ask a child if they rather m pretty or smart really?

  • That person who asked that question to Meghan got onto my nerves! You do NOT ask that to a nine year old girl! It is like would you rather!

  • cicamicafication ; Excuse me? Phedophiles prefer the other look dumbass.

  • @LOveisFree44 no they don't. Read psychology then we can talk. And, besides, you don't have to call me ugly names, doesn't make you better. I have the right to express my opinion.

  • I think that Kayleigh looks much better in the swimsuitcompetetion than Story because she looks more like a child should, Story looks like a shellydoll from barbie. Just fake and not beautiful if you do really think about it. At the first sight( at Story) she looks beautiful with all the glam and everything. But then it crosses my mind that she is just 6 years old! A child - not a doll and certainley not an adult. So according to me, it's just wrong, actually.

  • id rather be pretty than smart, thats the result of teaching kids that their looks are so important, but id be surprised to see one of these mothers not being fine with the answer

  • i was proud of my little sister when she built her treehouse and added it with so many smart features, i was very proud when she was the only one in her class who invited the unpopular girl over to us and gave her one of her most loved dolls when the other girl was crying because she had managed to get gum in her hair so far that the only help was to cut it. i said good for you when she was voted "the girl i want to be with in 20 years" in 6th grade by the boys.but for winning a pagent? never

  • natural pageant - just as pedophiles like it

  • Knowledge is power! XD There was this thing on Family Guy where everyone in the restaurant said that.... XDDD

  • sorry but that little blonde girl is a future whore :/

  • I still have a bit of a problem with the natural pageant idea--just that such young girls are thrown into that kind of competition based purely on looks. (And that they also dress like 30-year-olds--I wish it had taken place in something more realistic than a ball gown). BUT, at least it teaches them that natural beauty is valuable and valued, something they'll hopefully learn more as they get older.

  • @antebellum Most natural pageants also have a larger interview part! So then they're also kinda tested on their knowledge and confidence and language skills:)

  • why does tyra like to cut her quests' conversation with either her comment or a commercial. it leaves the conversation with her said something last.

  • nerdy ppl are cute and smart in the right ways C:

    but I strongly dislike geeks

  • "with muthtard"

  • Chowder lol I used to watch that this made me smile :)

  • 4:00

  • I would rather be smart than pretty! you can look stunning and all glitzy but that will get you NOWHERE!!!

  • @KungFuLover100 Psh.. My BMW would beg to differ.

  • @KungFuLover100 As tosh.0 said.. Ugly women are like men. They are going to have to work.

  • I would rather be smart than pretty! you can look stunning and all glitzy but that will get you NOWHERE!!!

  • I would rather be smart than pretty! you can look stunning and all glitzy but that will get you NOWHERE!!!

  • I would rather be smart than pretty. You can put makeup on and be pretty.

  • i think the natural one is cuter!!!!

  • I'd rather be beautiful then nerdy :( Be both you gorgeous little girl

  • Even if it's natural, it's still not good.

    Little girls just shouldn't be taught to compare their looks with other girls and be programmed to place so much importance on superficial beauty.

  • I LOVE CHOWDER 2 LOL AND IM 19 HAHA

  • That was a hard question. Noone can really choose between being fugly or dum..

  • Natural and glitz Tyra - they are both fine as hell!!

  • I reckon tyra is so beautiful in her natural shot :)

  • Smart does equal nerdy. And nerds kick ass!

  • @brownieblush HELLZ YEAH WE DO

  • CHOWDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRR

  • OMG i just thought of something these girls are DRAG QUEENS, they are impersonating WOMEN omg its brilliant i could write a paper!!!

  • I would rather be smart and pretty than beautiful and an airhead

  • That lady set Megan up. She's 10 people relax. She needs a reality check BADLY, but she has a lil time.

  • GO TEAM NERDZ!!

    

  • Nerdfighters have sooooo much more fun than kids in Beatuy Pagents. I LOVE being nerdy, it's so much fun!

  • @teamorangeapple dftba nerdfighters ftw

  • @savannahwithnoh *same

  • Nerds rule man!

  • I like the lest side of tyra too >.<

  • Just as I thought, the girls put more value on looks and that's how they'll be for the rest of their lives.

  • nerds are SO awesome. just saying.

  • Stupid girl! Only nerds are in G.A.T.E, everyone knows that!

  • @skigod222 relax. there is nothing wrong with how Trya refers back to what she did. It was her life, she accomplished it so how can you act like she can't talk about it?

  • those girls look like 30year old women

  • "I don't wanna be THAT smart! I'd rather be pretty" - WTF

  • Story and her mom are so beautiful and for the first time mom is not overweight and self absorbed person.

    You go Megan you are pretty and which smart 10 year old has won 5.000 bucks in one day!?

  • That little girl competes in pageants. Of course she wants to be beautiful. To her (and most people), beauty and intelligence are like oil and water, and that only physically unattractive girls can be"nerdy" or smart. Newsflash: nerds rule the world. Only those with brain power have the ability to advance civilization. Some of the richest people in the world are nerds (ahem, Bill Gates). Beauty is great, but it fades. With intelligence and education, no one can tell you what to do.

  • More confident because of pageants?

    How confident can a girl be when her self esteem depends on the criticism and critics of others?

  • I guess it just bugs me to teach these girls that looks are the most important...(yeah, I know it IS kinda that way in rw, but this makes it seem totally acceptable)

    A prize for having come out on top in the gene pool?

  • ahahaha at 2:07 she lookin at tyra like "excuse me, hoe??" Then at 2:14 she like "mhm, im using all my strength to not beat yo ass..."

  • I'd pick pretty too. It's cheaper to buy a book to read than pay for surgery! :)

  • You don't have to choose between being pretty and smart! 

  • Story is beautiful! She is going to be a star when she gets older!! Beautiful girls

  • I agree with the natural pageant thing... at least they're not being taught to be materialistic, fake and aren't afraid of being imperfect... and they seem a lot happier. :)

  • WHO THE FUCK CALLS THEIR CHILD STORY

  • @Quailtooben lol. I was thinking the same thing.

  • I'd rather be smart so when I grow up I can make lots of money so I can afford the plastic surgery later! ;D

  • I would have said "Beauty comes naturally, and I can work on being smart!" (:

  • It's okay Megan.... I'd rather be pretty too. xD

  • the blonde girl looks mean and scary

  • i was kinda okay with this until Megan said she's rather be pretty than smart....

  • Lol Stori is so cute. But why is she wearing a dress that would easily be considered sexy if an adult woman wore it. v neck and waist shaping and all that 0_o

  • I thought there was notthing wrong with pagents untill she she that she would rather be pretty than smart and smart was nerdy. That is all the parents fault. Are you happy know?!?!?

  • @melawesome1 Not the parents as much as it is society. I bet MORE than 1/2 the girls in the country would say pretty.

  • the natural girl doesnt look as creepy!

  • woah Tyra looks so pretty natrual holy shit :O

  • I do not like Tyra Banks. Lmfao.

  • the women wearing the red top at 5:37. Looks like Mariah Carey and sounds like Mariah Carey,

  • yeahhh chowder!!! woot!

  • pretty dose'nt take u anywere sadly it all about what in the head ,pretty cant get u a job, boo. even in the modeling agency it al about ur pictures and ur walks not ur LOOK, can u sell a product

  • stupid girl is stupid.

    "i'd rather be beaituffuulll"

  • id rather be pretty smart

  • natural girl is so much prettier

  • I would rather be smart and not stupid and fake like these pathetic little girls.

  • I think it's important for children to be children! they should have fun with friends, not be forced to grow up fast and be wearing make up.

  • ˝I´d rather be pretty.˝ That was all Tyra needed to hear. That was the point of this show right there!!! What they are teaching these poor creatures is that outer look is everything! Those parents are very unintelligent and pathetic....you know what they say- what goes around comes back around...if not sooner, when those kids grow up

  • I HATE CHOWDER!!! STUPID MOVING BACKGROUND!!!

  • @MrChupacabraLoco How does 9/11 have anything to do with child beauty pageants? Besides, all these little girls are from the south or midwest. That seems like an ignorant statement to me.

  • hmmm thats odd, at my school us smarter ones are prettier? ...not saying that ppl that arnt pretty are dumb or anything, but just in general at our school pretty = smart and popular.

  • The pretty-or-smart girl was such a bitch... What kind of ho lays that down on a ten year old?

  • Hahahah I love the show Chowder!:D...but I'm 15...and I think I would strive in the natural beauty thing cause I wear no make up and people tell me I'm lucky but truth is I look horrible in make up O.o

  • i don't really agree with child beauty pageants (just my opinion) but i gotta say that little 2 year old looks absolutely adorable

  • LOL smart = nerdy. Go check out some of the girls at my school. Selective all girls school with some of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. Actually the smartest girls are the prettiest imo :)

  • @loveteajuice There's some logic on your message.I think a girl has to be smart to be beautiful. When you PRAY for her not to open her mouth, that's pretty disgusting. Disgusting and beautiful do not go well together. Also, there's a unique charm about every pretty girl who is smart, while stupid and cute girls are all the same usually.

  • @loveteajuice What kinda school are you in?

  • I love pageant kids but story is the only one whose ever freaked me out!

  • Every girl would rather be pretty.......it's called gender socialization. I like Tyra but she needs to do her research.

  • I love Travel & Living. I live in Holland. And I always watch Jon and kate plus 8 on that, Toddlers and tiaras, cake boss and all those thing. <3

  • Am I the only one who noticed that Story looks like a miniature slut?

  • It's pretty sad if a parent can't instill confidence in their child without covering them in fake eyelashes, toe nails, hair, teeth, tanning etc. Why not enter them in competitions that use their intelligence or creativity etc.

  • GO CHOWDER!!!

  • @Flowersdoom HAHAHHA Chowder!

  • Both all of you are beautiful!!! Wow Tyra...sms.

  • Gross, the swimsuits, the brainwashing, the hairpieces, just everything

  • The natural beauty girl seemed so much more happier and pretty-er and free. 

  • @LochnessMonsterx shut up

  • Ugly mothers wanna live their dreams through their children. This is gross!

  • lol at her last comment "being pretty is fun but being smart is amazing."

    Tyra, how would YOU know?

  • @fusedblue doesn't matter at least she's encouraging the right thing

  • Comment removed

  • Story is SO cute!

  • Story is So ADORABLE!!! <3

  • I feel sorry for Meaghan being asked that question, because it made her sound shallow. Seriously, how many people out there would REALLY want to be ugly as shit but smart as Einstein? I'd rather have an average brain but be fucken stunning. Even if she said she'd rather be smart, we'd probably all be thinking 'I'd rather be pretty'. At least she's honest.

  • @SmellyCatSally Ten world class supermodels can be replaced much faster than ten eminent professors.

    I'd rather be pretty than smart is the default but so is I'd rather have all the toys than share neither should be encouraged

    It'll never be your beauty that makes you valuable but your personality and your knowledge that is what'll make you indispensable. Beauty mere beauty can always be easily replaced.

    There is ALWAYS someone younger and prettier

  • 2:08 i love story eyes

    look at how story face sparkle when tyra ask her those questions..so cute

  • What kind of stupid name is 'Story'??? Geeeeeezzz!

  • OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo­OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

  • lol at megan rathering being pretty
