Miss Universe 1984 Top 5 Final Question & Final Look

South Africa should have won, if only the Q&A was the basis. She totally nailed it

At this stage of the pageant, the best answer was Miss South Africa's, definitely. ''I would like to tell them that beauty is not a physical thing. It's something that's inside you and only you can bring that out and only you can show that to the world. It's a God-given gift and make the best of it, make the most of it and use it in the way that your Creator would like you to''.

It was a difficult time where non-English speakers struggled with their answers on stage. The essence of Miss Sweden's answer had a diplomatic context, "standing on both feet on the floor", standing strong while remaining down-to-earth? I guess it delivered the right response to the judges then. Today, however, unless you provide the most confident answer, without pauses or stops or trying your best to find the right words to say, you are the guaranteed winner. Times have changed, and so our ways of choosing the rightful winner of Miss Universe.

Why are these women more beautiful than the Miss U contestants now. They look so natural with softer angelic faces now they look fierce with angry manly looking strong faces.

most of the countries in the top 5 that year would still be the same countries that are strong in today's MU pageant except sweden.

South Africa had the best answer but Sweden's sweetness was hard to ignore

Qué bella Susana Caldas de Colombia. Creo que habría quedado mejor con el cabello suelto.

I chose Ms south Africa..good answer and confidence 👍

SA had the best answer, but overall, Sweden had the total package.

La manera como respondió nerviosa y falta de estructura la pregunta la miss Suecia es un claro ejemplo que cuando a los jueces ya les gustó alguien no les importa si la riega. Miss Suecia dió la peor respuesta de todas y aún así ganó.

COLOMBIA without a doubt...

Las mas bellas colombia y suecia

OMG! This video is so clear. Now I can contemplate Yvonne Ridding's beauty much better.

South Africa is the most gerourges one of all, in then Miss Colombia, and Venezuela. Wesden had plenty of time to answer the question and Miss Venezuela Mr Parker didn't let her to finish the question . Miss Colombia to me she answered the question right.

their points was so close with one another,anyone of them deserves to be miss universe.

Overall impression. The judges that year kept that in mind and applied it to the results.

Now that I have watched this again I believe that Miss Columbia gave a confident and best answer to the question, I think it was a time when they mostly chose blondes , now in recent years you rarely see blonde contestants win .

A Miss Venezuela la dejaron con la palabra en la boca y en cambio la ganadora cantinfleo con ganas y sin embargo le dieron la corona. No es justo. Miss Colombia estaba mejor.

I realized that Miss Philippines gown was similar to Beatrice Gomez final evening gown of Miss Universe 2021 and they both finished as top 5.

miss philippines was a bit nervous.
