After VietNamNet published two articles: One month, 6 beauty pageants: Overstuffed to the point of being sick of it! and Cannot let beauty pageants spread out, one contest per week, need to be streamlined , many readers expressed their deep agreement. They believe that organizing so many beauty pageants is devaluing the title of beauty queen, making the public tired and losing faith.
Warnings worth pondering
Reader Minh Hoang shared: "Thank you for the article that reflects the true feelings of the majority. Everyone loves beauty, but everything needs to be in moderation. Now, when mentioning beauty queens, people only ask: What kind of beauty queen is this? Why are there so many beauty queens? It's so boring. The authorities should reconsider the current rampant licensing."
This view was agreed by audience member Thuan Nguyen Van: "I request the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to take effective action to end the rampant beauty pageants, which annoy the public and reduce the value of the title of Miss Vietnam."
Nguyen frankly said: "That's right! Many beauty queens are so bland and tasteless that 11 out of 10 people can't even remember her name or which contest she won."
Many comments not only expressed boredom but also warned of the social consequences of the beauty queen trend. Reader Truong Tuan Anh recounted: "Near my house, there was an 18-year-old girl who wanted to compete in a beauty pageant but was scolded by her parents for dropping out of school and only wanting to find a rich husband. Now when mentioning the title of beauty queen, many people just laugh and no longer respect it like they did 10 years ago."
Reader Nguyen Xuan Manh is concerned: "After the coronation, there will be enough real-life scandals like we have seen for a long time. We should stop this beauty queen!"
From a cultural perspective, reader Quang Trung raised the issue: "This reflects the true height of our country's intellectual level. Vietnamese people are too thirsty for beauty. Every contest must have a bikini contest because if there is no body showing, viewers will not be interested. For young women, beauty pageants are a short way to change their lives, being in the top 10 means being able to marry a rich man, and winning the title means definitely being a tycoon."
Big questions for regulators
Some readers believe that the nature of many contests today is no longer to find worthy beauty but is just a form of entertainment business.
Reader Vu Pham likened: "This is a game show, like a fair or department store. When the rich people place orders, a contest is organized."
Hung's opinion is similar: "Recruitment is based on orders. Game shows make money, so the more contestants the organizers earn."
The frustration with the "oversupply" of beauty contests is not only reflected in the decline in quality but also in the impact on social trust. Reader Sy Long expressed his skepticism: "I don't see any clear contribution from beauty queens to the country. If they just wear a sash, a crown and do charity work to polish their name, anyone can do it. Does that require talent?"
Meanwhile, reader Hoang Vu suggested another direction: "I wonder if there is any country in the world that organizes as many beauty pageants as Vietnam? We should spend time and resources to honor scientists , excellent students who overcome difficulties, and soldiers who protect the Fatherland. Only then can the country develop sustainably."
Some opinions question the role of the licensing agency. Reader Tran Huong asked: "Which agency organizes these programs, who licenses them? Every year the press reports on them but nothing changes. Why don't we issue unified regulations to rectify this?"
From the perspective of readers sent to VietNamNet, it can be seen that there is a clear consensus that it is time to streamline beauty pageants, to restore the true meaning to this noble title. Otherwise, the crown will only be a prop in the dull and boring entertainment playground.
