Miss New York Plays Red Cup For Miss America Pageant Win [VIDEO]

Former Miss New York is now Miss America. Kira Kazantsev has an interesting back story, but the cherry on top has to be her performance during the Talent part of the pageant. Watch her perform with a red cup and decide, is this talent or nah?

Kira moved to New York City 5 years ago from California for college and ended up becoming Miss New York. She obviusly watchted the movie Perfect Pitch one to many times, because she decided to perform the "Cup routine" while she sang "Happy" sitting barefoot on the biggest pageant stage in the World!

Although I'm not too impressed with her talnet, the fact that she is trilingual is pretty cool! The beauty queen, who is a daughter of Russian immigrants, speaks Russian, Spanish and English. "My parents left for a better life," she told the Press of Atlantic City. "They gave up everything to make a better life for me and my little brother." With regards to a recent trip to Russia she added: "It made me just appreciate the fact I am an American."
