The Miss Chinese International Pageant 2005 was held at TKO TVB City
yesterday(Jan 29) and after many rounds of selection, the title was
awarded to 22 year-old Leanne Li from Vancouver. Hot favourite Fala Chen
was only able to make second place, with outsider Jessica Young from
Melbourne taking third place. When Hong Kong's Kate Tsui was chosen for
the top five, there were many cheers from the audience, but she did not
make the top three, taking only the 'Miss Cosmopolitan Beauty' award as a
consolation. The 'Miss
Friendship' award had earlier been announced as Jolene Chin from Kuala
Lumpur.
Leanne hails from Shanghai and is currently studying at university. Her
ambition is to become either a producer or an artiste. Leanne says that she was
always confident in herself and just enjoyed the contest calmly without
any pressure. With Kate Tsui winning the internet vote, she does not feel
that this was a consolation prize, because she was chosen by the Hong Kong
and China audience. Judge Andy Lau praised thet top three contestants,
saying that Leanne has the look of a winner, Fala has the beauty of a star
and Jessica has a wonderful singing voice. As for why Kate Tsui did not
reach the top three, Andy felt that this was due to her having too much
pressure put on her.
This year's show was themed "Eternal Beauty - Touching Hearts for
5000Years" and the contestants paraded in various period costumes that
were very beautiful, but in one of the swimwear items, the girls wore
white bikinis that resembled underwear and the thin material at times
showed a little more than was decent, causing complaints from some of the
audience.
