So what are the first impressions? Bear in mind that for the most part these young ladies' talents, intelligence etc are unknown to us at the moment... but I'm sure with further interviews we'll get a better picture of what each one is working with... so for now we're going on physical looks. (None of the hysteria from last year's thread please!)

Personally I quite like the look of Nakita Emmons! Very cute face and lovely eyes... expressive.
I like Shanique Peters as well... had potential.

Devon Greene has decent features... but I'm not feeling the pose...
Nelissia Thomas is cool too....

So anyone knows any of the contestants and what talents they're coming with?

well um,

i go leave it right so
but i feel i might be in park

The organizers did better with the 1st photos this yr ,,the girls look reasonably polished from the start

Yorke have a good resume she have experience

Hoyte passionate and has a talent

Thomas goal oriented, intelligent

Emmons young but has a nice look to her, not sure what she can offer up

Peters ok

Cupid seems nice not jus talking about highschool community service u hear what she is doing NOw

Greene not too memorable

On the whole I consider them all attractive...the other judging criteria is what will give the winner an edge...that and their poise on stage

Yeh I agree they did a better job with the first pictures... with the resources the committee has available to them, there is no reason why any contestant should be looking rough/unpolished in the first set of public pictures. Wasn't really all that impressed with any of the contestant's resumes... not that they weren't informative but they just seemed so... blah... I'm wondering if they just supplied a writer with the information and he/she typed them all up OR they actually write their own statements? I mean I know they mostly supplied the required info but where's that oomph in the writing to really interest you in the individual? I eh know... hopefully the other interviews will let a bit of their character come through.
The most experienced of the lot seems to be the Yorke contestant. She's pleasant looking I suppose... not feeling the heavy weave... something lighter and shorter would make her look more youthful...

But this year's competition should be interesting as all the contestants are mostly unknown... so the competition could be anyone's for the taking!

I want to see it too... *sniff*

i can actually vouch for melissa yorke's hair, its all hers. She never cuts it either.

Well I hope she does something with it... pull it off her face or feather it... cuz it makes her look older than she actually is.

yea i agree i think she needs to do something to her hair

Hey, did y'all know Shanique Peters is Shivern Peters' sister? No resemblance whatsoever... wonder how she'll do... would be good for their family if she did as well as Shivern.

yes i knew it was shivern's sister....would be good if she wins but bad if she lose she might feel "ole" if she does not do as well as her sis...

True dat.
I'm looking forward to hearing more about these contestants... cuz there is no clear leader here as yet.

Well, I've looked up these girls from top to bottom and for the life of me, I can't figure out what possessed any of them to enter a beauty pageant. All ah dem sub par in looks. Dat ah way beauty queens ah look like now? If ah so, Wukup Front and Baby Saltfish could ah enter back in the day. Ah know some ah dem mudda tell dem dat dey beautiful, but dat na mean dem haffu believe................look in a mirror.

Miss SVG Contestants: In their own words

The Miss SVG Pageant is just two weeks away and Searchlight got close and personal with the eight contestants during an interview at Young Island Resort last Saturday.

Here’s a bit of what each contestant had to say in their own words.

Tessica Cupid - Miss Bailey’s Irish Cream/Coreas Trading
23-years old of Park Hill

“I am a very shy person so I am doing this to take on life from a different angle. When certain things come up I would just stay back, but I am proud of myself for being a contestant. If I should take the crown I would help young people boost their self worth to push them forward.”

Nikita Emmons - Miss Aquatic Club
20 years old of Cane Garden

“I’m not the type of person who likes to go out and argue in front of large crowds so I think I would be better behind the desk helping businesses. My friends and family told me that I have the potential to accomplish great things in life so that is why I am entering this pageant.”

Lekeysha Glynn - Miss Millennium Bank
23 years old of Kingstown Park

“Pageants are not just about beauty, they are also about intelligence and what you believe in. My passion is to open a dance studio for young people to channel their energies into something positive. I also want to be the first female commander of the SVG coastguard.”

Devon Greene -NLA Lotto
19 years old of Buccament Bay

"As we know, in our society there have been a lot of teenage pregnancies so I want to do something to eliminate that. I'm worried about the way young women allow themselves to be disrespected by men. If young women can respect themselves and their bodies enough there would be less teenage mothers."



Nasheka Hoyte-NLA 3D
20 years old of Campden Park

“I love soul music because it’s touching. It relates to rhythm and blues and even gospel so I would love to be an artiste that touches people’s lives despite the difficult periods they sometimes go through.”

Nelicia Thomas - Miss b Mobile
22-years of Mayreau

“I know some people go away and they are ashamed to say where they are from but I would do everything in my power to promote my island. I intend to open a five star hotel because the main source of income is fishing and tourism so I want to give back something to my people.”

Shanique Peters -Mustique Company
20-years of Bequia

“Seeing my mother struggle to raise us two girls, gives me a drive to be just like her. Strong and with a mind that you can overcome challenges. She also made us understand that you can be yourself and succeed in life. It’s a good feeling to have children and people in your own age group look up to you.”

Melissa Yorke Murray’s Village - Miss Demure by J
23-years of Murray’s Village

“My family, especially my mom and my friends thought that there was something a bit off with me because I took time off from the state university of New York at Plattsburg to be in this pageant. But entering the Miss SVG pageant has always been my a dream, I want to be the best ambassador for my country.”

Geez, you well harsh. I would really like to see how you look. I wouldn't ask you how I look, talk bout brutal.

My girlfriend tells me that I'm too brutal as well.

I'm just keeping it real here. These are the young women who would be representing us at internationa pageants...............do you see any of them could actually compete?

I wouldn't compete in a Mr. Universe contest, I don't look nothing like what a Mr. Universe should look like. If I spent a few more hours in the gym and maybe take some steroids..............then that's a whole other story, because one thing I know and have been told is that I'm good looking. I'm not being vain, that's just fact.

It's about time they go out and actually scout for beautiful contestants. Beauty should come first, the rest they could learn.
