Miss Clayland Karissa Martin performed "The Girl in 14G" originally sung most famously by Kristen Chenowith of "Wicked" fame. I really thought she did a great job with it and it suited her voice and vocal style quite well, in my opinion. She was entertaining, and looked great. It wasn't very surprising when she won the talent preliminary award. I was a little surprised to hear, though that the monetary amount for winning the preliminaries has gone down this year. In previous years, talent prelim netted a contestant $750 and swimsuit was $500. This year the winners are receiving $700 and $450, respectively. I know that $50 may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, but it is just another indicator of the effect that the economy and lack of creativity in marketing is doing.
