Win Your Next Pageant
Get Pageant Questions Written By A Miss Universe Judge
As a fan of pageants since the early 1980s, I’ve witnessed the crowning of 40 women as Miss Universe. To get into the countdown spirit, I’ve put together my Top 10 favourite winning performances since the first Miss Universe I watched, in 1983.
These are the most memorable finals night efforts from start to finish with demonstrations of grace, elegance, humour, wit, spontaneity, sincerity, intelligence and inspirational words. Not just a single mic drop moment or a jaw-dropping evening gown – these are the best all-round performances that I still love to rewatch from time to time.
Picking just 10 women from the past 40 years was no easy feat, and my list will no doubt differ from yours. Please let me know who your favourites have been, but please keep your comments respectful.

I don't think the contestants who uses enterpriter will mark as best winner I don't think so
We have the same number 1, Alicia Machado in 1996. I was a high school freshman when she was crowned and now that I'm 40, her performance is still the most memorable for me.
No doubt ! Alicia machado is my favorite of all !
Well, is a good top. But, to be honest, I am so impressed with Pia's position. I try to find just one reason to her victory but it's imposible to me. Actually, I think it was a bad joke from IMG organisation as well as the Trump's joke in 2012 with Olivia's crown. I miss Amelia Vega and Oxana in the top or at least in the memourable mentions.
My favorite MU performance was that of Puerto Rico' ZULEYKA RIVERA in 2006. She excelled in all three rounds of elimination, especially in the evening gown competition.
Other memorable performances by previous MU winners include those by: Venezuela's MARITZA SAYALERO in 1979, Russia's OXANA FEDOROVA in 2002, Angola's LEILA LOPES in 2011, and Puerto Rico's DENISE QUIÑONES in 2001.
What makes an answer to an undisclosed and random question "REHEARSED". How could Catriona and Pia possibly rehearse their answer to a question they didn't know?
I’m surprised not to see Amelia Vega here to be quite honest! Also there were more queens from IMG era than expected so that was interesting to see!
My top 5 randon order:
Amelia Vega
Dayana Mendoza
Pia Wurtzbach
Brook Lee
Lara Dutta
Oxana should be here regardless if she was dethroned later. She overpowered everyone 😊
Always good analysis! Really appreciate your detailing of the videobpresentation! You will definitely get my vote.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Miss Universe 2003 Amelia Vega was also very memorable
Do a video on your favorite RUs of all time and how close they could've been to becoming MU.
Alicia was the Best 👏👏👏👏
We have the same no. 1. Yay! Alicia was so, so charming and gorgeous when she won in 1996. I love her, too! Thanks Roger for this wonderful video…
Correction please! R'bonney is Miss Universe 2022 and not 2020.
Zozibini Tunzi is so deserving of her win. But have you ever wondered if she might have heard the final question because her long earrings allowed her to hear it?
For me LARA Dutta is the BEST MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT WINNER EVER
BEAUTY AND BRAINS PLUS PURE INDIAN WOMEN.
16:43 What is he doing 😳
That night, Alicia Machado was shining like a tremendously beautiful star!
As a South African, and coming from the same province, I had high hopes for Zozibini Tunzi, and when they got to the interview round, I KNEW she had bagged it, which was a relief because I was not a fan of the favorite, Miss Puerto Rico.
I also think that Milka Chulina and Minorka Mercado of Venezuela were very unlucky not to win MU.
I fully agree about Alicia Machado of Venezuela. I can't remember EVER wanting someone to win more. She charmed and mesmerised us on the night. I was delghted！Then I wrnt and looked at her Miss Venezuela win, and saw, as was the norm for Miss Venezuela winners, how much work she'd had done. Those girls were panel beated into perfection, physically, mentally, style-wise, pasarela-wise. Osmel Sousa was the consummate pageant director.
Venezuela power house
I 100% agree with number uno, my girl from the gateway of South America was the clear winner in Las Vegas, and the list is solid, I love that you grew up in the golden era of pageantry and you still remember their iconic performances😍
Catriona gray is no one best miss univers all time.from begening to the end.
