    Question to DNO: Do the contestants get the questions beforehand?

    in my humble opinion according to the miss teen 2014 first impression makes a lasting one. Francine was the one who made the best impression from the queen show pre show and when I listened to the interview with pearl, I find she stood out. Mark you the other contestants are also great. As I always say to persons who have neg comments re the queen contestants the ladies should be applauded for their boldness in coming forward to face a great crowd, who sometimes have so much to say to you on that stage. you ladies go do your best

    Francine, I love your mind! Beauty is both the physical and who u are inside, so in my books, u’ve got it all. I knew u when u went to St. Luke’s with my son, haven’t seen u since, but today u completely blew me away. You have grown up to be all a mother could wish for. I say “Bravo” to you, you would be a prefect ambassador for my country. GO FOR IT!!!

    Over the past few years I have lost interest in the queen show. All your good queens were in the nineties, Francilia, Martha, Leevie, Marcella, they actually had brains, class and talent. Not just brains for the question and answer round. Apart from this years queen (who is on my list of good ones) all the others have been good for is being able to model smh

    I must say that I am very impressed with Francine’s interview. Every Granbaian should be proud of you. If you are judged Miss Dominica 2014, I have no doubt that you will, like Lassa, Marah and the others make us proud. Good luck.

    I just love the Dominican accent. I wish for all queen shows ‘yanking’ would be prohibited lol!

      This is so true. Francine speaks with her natural voice and Dominican accent and she sounds great.I don’t understand why some contestants change their voice and accent as soon as they enter a pageant. Go Francine and keep on being real. I was really impressed with your interview.

      I said the same thing but some of these ladies their voice too deep and so they must put a little something to make it sound good etc… but Francine is real. She don’t need to put on the accent.

    I must say that I am VERY IMPRESSED with Francine Tiffany Baron’s interview. I got goose bumps as i sat listening. Very very clear and precised in her answers. So clever. Good job Francine! You maintain this and it will be all yours.
