"For her talent performance, Kazantsev sang Pharrell Williams' "Happy" while sitting cross-legged on the stage and banging a red plastic cup on the floor."
Wow, that is hard to top.

Actual quote: "For her talent performance, Kazantsev sang Pharrell Williams' "Happy" while sitting cross-legged on the stage and banging a red plastic cup on the floor."

There's nothing I could add that would be more ironic or absurd. Seriously, with that as the winning American talent, there's nothing one can say.

I think "beauty" pageants are a waste at so many levels but I was visiting a neighbor when this was on, so I happened to see this lady's performance. The article's description of what she did was apparently written by someone who resented her. Her cup "banging" was actually a complex percussion rythm she performed while singing with a very sweet, melodic voice, which I enjoyed more than the forced theatrics of the other talents exhibited. Pageants are still a waste, but if you think they're important and want to write about them, at least don't be bitter.

The new Miss America won her crown after singing a Pharrell Williams song while playing with a red plastic cup, a performance she says was inspired by a similar scene in a move.

Miss America Kira Kazantsev said Sunday she was inspired by the 2012 movie "Pitch Perfect" in which Anna Kendrick's character auditions for an a capella group by performing rhythmically with a cup.

But she also says she did it to show future contestants they can win the Miss America pageant by performing whatever talent routine they like, regardless of what others think of it.

Kazantsev came under withering criticism on social media sites for her talent performance after winning the title.

She says she had the time of her life doing the cup routine.
