Miss America 2004 - crowning moment

[hickt003]

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!

[boricuaflutie4]

i love how she goes up and down as she is trying to crown her lol she deserved it!

[CrAzEDxKILLAx23]

This is the only miss America from before 2008 that is on YouTube

[alek90210]

Did she won 1million Dollar? cuz...

[Coraline1222]

Best moment of the decade.....

[sexiigurl110]

She looks like a dark skin Beyonce to me just stunning black beauty!

[pop67805]

this is a chimpanzee's prize 555+

[YoungBlckBeauty4ever]

@pop67805 u mean your prize?

[AngelSingingTerry]

This reminds me of when Fantasia won American Idol. Love these moments.

[freakywitztv]

Hahaha the way she's going up and down she's not letting Miss America 2003 crown her lol but she is so happy her reaction is like wow!

[646guy]

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

[lf1234]

the one year I watched. I remember Ericka was poised and together........until this moment. It was funny, genuine and entertaining, the entire thing.

[jordytalles]

oh, what a reaction hahaha :p

[freakywitztv]

I love her reaction, she was like OMG!!!!!

[Theclowcard]

I'm happy for her but please stand properly to be crowned. You are giving the former Miss America a hard time.

[hoteliwinshowcases]

I'm sad she didn't win The Amazing Race with Brian. :(((

[looneychooney]

one of the best reactions ever!

[SophistocatedDivaGuy]

Ms. Ericka was so happy to be crowned Miss America. You know her reaction was genuine. I was so happy for her, too.

[ginasimmons]

She my consin

[miecy2miecy]

Best reaction ever! Priceless!

[misstudee]

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.

[KendraLove18]

best reaction....ever?

[missuniworld]

00:54 Michelle Obama in Miss America?

[VTMCompany]

isn't the gal in black & white our first lady?

[MissSimAsiaPacific]

@VTMCompany i kno she looks kinda like Michelle But they said Marina Harrison

[gilbertblaze]

anybody know that version of "miss america" I would love to listen to it

[nickanylaboo]

lmfaoooo at the lady trying to put on her crown.

[89990000]

@nickanylaboo

[MissSimAsiaPacific]

@nickanylaboo lADY iS mISS america 2003..

[josangki]

Wow i love her

[guitaristfan9000]

[Dayzheart]

[gilbertblaze]

Does anybody know who sings this version of the "miss america song" I really want it!!!

[bigscary40]

@gilbertblaze That is R&B singer Tyrese

[gilbertblaze]

@bigscary40 oh wow...thanks alot!! I'm going to try to search for that song

[CaramelCarter2010]

who threw her that flower? was the apart of the show or she just so happen to catch it?!

[latinoguy]

Ironically the last 2 Black girls to win Miss America BOTH wore Yellow Evening Gowns in the Final crowning.

[chuhboemember6]

Is Tom Bergeron the host?

[MisterPortugal2000]

HAWAII SHOULD HAVE WON!

[MissSimAsiaPacific]

@MisterPortugal2000 you RASISIT DUDE

[krlitosx]

Ella es lo máximo, no le dio pena alguna buscar su arete, saludar a su publico y colocarse una flor, para mi la mejor y hasta los momentos coronación que allá visto alguna vez. I love :)

[blkchk]

Cheesy but I hope political correctness never does away with this. Always a tear jerker.

[MissMaddy881]

LOVE that rose in her hair! go ericka!

[paparaxi1983]

Que lindo es ver a la gente feliz, a nuestros hermanos del planeta sonreir y que las cosas els salgan bien, felicidades reina.

[catandjac17]

I'm going to Disney World!!!!

[HearSayJSU]

I love the reaction... I was the same way winning prom king... The catching of the yellow rose was the icing on the cake! She owned that pageant... not many people can do that.

[CoolScoobydoo]

Too bad she is a damn conservative Republican!!

[latinoguy]

@CoolScoobydoo

Yes, she is an African American who hates Obama.

Shame on her !!

[aloofbooks]

@latinoguy Where did you hear this ?

[latinoguy]

@aloofbooks

On television, she stated she is a Republican and a Tea party supporter

[aloofbooks]

@aloofbooks She is seriously misguided.

[ugboy1]

Is she having an orgasm? It looks similar. Well, I guess she was ecstatic to say the least.

[MrBrysonD]

Wasn't she a cutie!! And a real class act! Can't we just get beyond the race card???? She has and lives that way! I loved you Erica as Miss America!

[princesso8788]

This has to be the greatest reaction in pageant history. Loved it when she said oh say that again.

[dudette216]

It's really too bad that some people have to ruin such a joyful moment with such trash talk. GTF up.

[punxrider4]

i want to see a retard win miss america, i bet they could.

[TheLeSamuel]

it was so much more civilised in 1984

i'm just sayin'

[social1316]

@TheLeSamuel You are right, there has not been a more classy Miss America than Vanessa Williams.

[blkchk]

@social1316 Yeah she was class personified walking that runway.

[IRUNMADEIN]

Oh man! She got to meet Tom Bergeron!!!!

[thirtymphs]

For all of you haters talking about racism, it's a good thing that Ericka Dunlap is better than all of you. She married a white man and had to deal with racism from HER OWN FAMILY about the issue but people are people and kindness and love conquers all.

[jasmineg007]

To all of the racist saying the N word GET A LIFE LOSERS!  As far as I'm concerned you don't even exist in today's society! I wish you BASTARDS would disappear! NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE!!!!!!

[jalabi99]

The poor girl couldn't stay still long enough for them to crown her, she was so excited LOL

[GarlandGemini]

The greatest & most genuine pageant reaction i've ever seen. That had to feel so good!!!

[cassadine86]

They think crowning a black Miss America will bring in more black viewers, but it actually drives off millions and millions white, hispanic, and asian viewers.

There was even a recent Miss England...of muslim descent!!

Well, when are we going to get that black Miss China?

[GarlandGemini]

You're such a sad being...

[robinquinc329]

@cassadine86 What the hell are you talking about?! You sound really stupid! Miss America is crowned at the end of the pageant, so whoever wins, black,white,red, or yellow, it is not going to drive off millions of viewers. What a dumbass you are! Get you r facts straight before you say something so stupid.

[robinquinc329]

You are really stupid. You don't know if I am black, white,red , or yellow. You are a piece of trailer park trash who probably has a 5th grade education. And so you know, I am a black man with a PHD who speaks five languages, makes high 6 figures and lives in a million dollar home. You piece of uneducated white trash BITCH!

[ugboy1]

@robinquinc329 cool!!

[manyousocrazy1]

@robinquinc329 i love ur comment but really... WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING TOO

[robinquinc329]

@manyousocrazy1 I was talking to some piece of trash,whose comments were deleted, regarding Miss America being black.

[Dimeast]

@robinquinc329 pretty huge dick?

[manyousocrazy1]

@robinquinc329 omg i was just about to say that

yep that was a really stupid comment

[cassadine86]

they should change the shows name to pity for an ape

[CoolScoobydoo]

Yeah all the racist are calling her Miss She-boon AMerica. What pathetic waste of space?

[misstee101]

Does Miss Maryland look like Michelle Obama?

[MisterPortugal2000]

@misstee101 I had exacly the same impression when i see her! :-)

[social1316]

@misstee101 Maryland does look like our first lady and the one whom really should have won the pagent that year, ED is however a pretty and well spoken woman who served well.

[watch84]

i was happy when she won here but she had a different attitude on the amazing race

[MsBushytail4ever]

She is gorgeous! Notice her bootyliciousness??? LOL

[GarthanSaal444]

Two black girls make the top five, one of them is even the winner. THIS is the reason why ratings keep constantly falling. They think crowning a black Miss America will bring in more black viewers, but it actually drives off millions and millions white, hispanic, and asian viewers.

There was even a recent Miss England...of muslim descent!!

Well, when are we going to get that black Miss China?

[dudette216]

GarthanSaal444, The best girl won. Her race has not a damn thing to do with it. You need to grow up and enter the 21st century. Erika, you go, girl! :)

[reina7663]

@dudette216

thank you. I wish these pathetic racists would stop hating.

[maybs3923]

no one gives a shit if ur racist

[maybs3923]

[aliskadi]

What's wrong with being Black, Muslim or Chinese in this country? Aren't we all Americans?

[BiggSyyno]

I'll always be way better than you, you pathetic, ignorant shit. you're so low, as a matter of fact that I actually feel sorry for you. It must be pretty shitty having to live with so much hate...but you're scum, what would you know anyway?

[ewoodham]

[fancypie202]

[SexyLittleTanya]

@ascarc90 I agree

[wiseguyknowsit]

Anyone would be a bitch under their circumstances. You try and doing what they did and not become hard and hot tempered.

[klimaxxx06]

She's a bitch to her husband on Amazing race

[PartayQueen712]

Hahaha the lady trying to put the crown on her. It took some effort(:

[MissSimAsiaPacific]

@PartayQueen712 I kno rigth She was just PREETY EXITED..

[coneycat]

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!

[HamsterFreak21]

me too! she is so much fun. And I actually for a second thought it was Michelle!

[laarbe]

She was so surprised and excited, A great reaction. She was beautiful and talented. Ms. Hawaii was so beautiful also. Thanks for the post.

[blahblahisluv]

best. reaction. ever.

[Vamply]

I've been watching pageant's since the 80's and this is by far the best crowning moment EVER!

[hugosanchannel]

Amazing race

[caramelj81]

one of the most beautiful women ive ever seen.

[ShoujoSuki]

[skkygirl]

She's on the Amazing Race with her hubby.

[omonaija4life]

[slg334]

I was rooting for them to win Amazing Race!

[CoolScoobydoo]

@skkygirl She loves that juicy white man's meat!!!

[ilovesidneypoitier]

Ms. Maryland, the chick in the black and white dress looks like Michelle Obama

[VTMCompany]

omg/i was just about to post that comment and scrolled down to find you already did !

[Mandi33870]

OMG i know her! We used to do pageants together when we were little. Im so proud of her. She is one of the coolest people ive ever met!

[PARANORMALBEINGS]

ericka dunlap is gonna be a contestant on the amazing race 15!

[PurpleNightButterfly]

most girls who compete at miss universe or miss usa whouldnt ever win Miss America....

its the class iest pagent with the most history and true genuine beauty....

[PurpleNightButterfly]

Miss America is the ONLY pagent i watch...unlike Miss universe or miss usa where its all based on looks with a bunch of airheads that answer generic questions...

Miss America is about education and actual TALENT and a platform chosen by each girl to promote...

[EliezerSaul]

THAT IS a reaction! :) Excellent! :) So beautiful! :)

[dmsmith1002]

She picked up her earring that fell off in her excitement! She's adorable!!!

[donalvara]

What did she take on the floor?

[kikismith69]

she dropped her earring! That was THE BEST!!!!!

[Dragoondaniel]

she's gonna be on the amazing race 15!

[jdale1259]

Now THAT is a reaction! Wouldn't you just love to hang it wth her during the Super Bowl or BCS game when her favorite player makes some phenomenal play? She would be a blast to hang out with.

[misstoussaint89]

i know erica harold was like if this hyper as bitch dont calm the fuck down. But this was Ericka Dunlaps pageant to win.

[trevor2987]

Was this the first time an African-American Miss America was succeeded by another African-American? Except for the Vanessa Williams thing, which happened by default, I don't think that's happened! That's fantastic!!

[jivecake]

The 1st back-to-back black Miss America happen in 1990. Miss America 1991, Marjorie Vincent was crowned by Miss America 1990, Debbye Turner. Bert Parks who was the host for 25 years (1955-1980) serenaded to Miss America 1991 , Marjorie Vincent.

[nesralla20]

i think she have 2 win she is a great

[armmer776]

oh my god !!!!!!!!!

[farleyriver]

wtf is that the afv guy

[luvs2teach00]

Yeah he is from america's funniest videos

[BlakeBarbieDoll]

I actually thought that Miss Maryland should have won, but Erica is a gem!!

[bravesfanforever31]

Ms. Maryland looks like Felicia Rashard of the Cosby Show

[bozardio]

I knew her in High School. Very smart woman.

[luvs2teach00]

I like how they gave her a flower from the crowd. when she put it in her hair she looked like Billie Holiday.

[ez4u2beme]

We were actually classmates at UCF in Orlando, wonderful person!

[bigbilly2006]

Note the rose tossed to her at 3:53; it matches her gown!

[gspott699]

kimberly aiken one of the best miss americas. when she won miss south carolina 1st black woman to do was only 18. and it was crazy south carolina had a bad strom that night of the miss america pagent no one in sc got to see the pagent till the end bascially when she was being crowned..her talet of summertime flawless..

[cliff746]

[lewisnevarez]

[HunterORL23]

[queenbean8]

[idiotsloveboxes]

Let me guess, she wants to cure cancer

[Ejicpe]

alguien me puede traducir en español lo que ella dice cuando el animador le pregunta?

[yohotolo]

Loved the moment, but thought Miss Maryland was better. If you listen to when she got 3rd runner-up the crowd clearly agrees lol

[CaptainMoon]

that's because her family and friends were there. they behaved incredibly bad again at Miss USA.

[briansync]

i have watched this clip of ericka winning about 200 times and i still cry everytime i see her win! i'm going to marry this girl one day.

[bennyagp]

why she is overacting?

[ladivamtl]

why is she overacting? thats a stupid question

[bennyagp]

she IS overacting.

[0vershade]

The skies burnt, the sun went blue, the oceans disappeared, the Earth split in two, the goa'uld sing xmas carrols and a pig laid an egg. Oh my god!

[sexytrannie]

go to hell you sorry sonofabitch!

[cenasgurl02]

I met her before she got the crown. She came to Disneyworld after she won Miss Flordia.

[sdn1820022002]

This was the best crowning moment I have ever seen in pageant history...Believe in yourself as I believe in you!!!!

[Kiimonster]

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!

[ljescandoliv]

Miss America had a huge orgasm...

[borntodancebaby]

Stay still girl!

[rugout]

Outgoing Miss America :Bitch if you get up one more time before i put this crown on you , this crown is going up your ass.

[Kiimonster]

Laughing my ass off~
