She could not hold a candle to Leanza Cornett performance that night at the finals --Leanza Won know Prem--But if you remember at the time a different set of judges judged the finals--Another group of judges judged the Prems.--Leanza Cornett took all of the competitions at this 1992 Pageant the final night of competition--How do I know --I was a member of the Miss Florida group that coached Leanza!!!
@1ddote Is that true? You sure that she beat out Catherine Lemkau's vocals final night? I will give you benefit of the doubt b/c of your connection to Leanza, and she sure showed heart when she sang, but Lemkau's raw talent was far better-sorry to say so, but that is a fact.
It is one of those things, you just had to be there. I have been for 25 years. All respect to your feelings. You just had to be there, her presence it just magical. One of my favorite talents, EVER!
I know her and love her. To all the haters- How far did you get in Miss America

could she not hear the band and thereby sang in a different key?

She had some toe-curling intonation problems, that's for sure!

That I do not know. I'll see if I can find out. I do know she teaches music now at a Oklahoma university. Are you a big pageant fan?

She was Miss OK USA and made top 12 that year. I heard she tied for 6th as a top 6 finalist, but lost in a tie breaker.
