3.0 out of 5 stars it was ok, March 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Competition:Child Beauty Pageant [VHS] (VHS Tape)

i didn't think this was the best of kid's pageant videos, it focused on the 8-10 age group which was OK but not nearly as interesting as it could have been if they had shown the younger ones more like in Living Dolls. Another point is that this video only covers a state pageant and i feel that the tension could have been greater at the nationals with even more 'big' names competing. Overall i think this video is worth a look if you are interested in it but not if you want to really see high level competition.

This review is from: Competition:Child Beauty Pageant [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was really looking forward to viewing this video as my daughter used to dance and I loved her shows and competitions. I even went out and bought a new video system to accommodate NTSC. Although I enjoyed what I saw, these confident talented girls, I felt it was far too short. I wanted to see more. Especially the younger ones which were hardly shown at all. I would like to know if there are any more videos of Child Beauty Pageants. I should have been an adjudicator!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a POSITIVE, REAL pageant documentary !, October 24, 2003

This review is from: Competition:Child Beauty Pageant [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Here's a pageant documentary that never once mentions JonBenét Ramsey, and that doesnt try to picture pageant moms as raving lunatics living through their children. I didnt think it actually existed !

Follow four children aged 8 to 10, competing in the same division of Universal Royalty Texas State pageant : Sabra, Thumper and Sommer have been competing for years, own $3000 custom made costumes and train several hours a week. Brittany is a newcomer, has an off the rack dress that doesnt quite fit, and plays Pro Am in her living room. She also has a great voice and a real talent for singing. Who will win ?

Contrary to a lot of pageant documentaries, it shows real competition, with children that are still competing today, and are now considered "big names" in the business. It also reveals that pageants, like any sport, require a lot of practice and hard work if you want to be at the top.

Speakin of, little Brittany who we all felt sorry for in her outdated clothes and bad hair, won Texas State in 2002 and is featured on the Universal Royalty National website. You go girl !
