ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Miss America contestants from Mississippi and New Hampshire won the first night of preliminary competition Tuesday as the pageant returned to Atlantic City after a six-year absence.
Samantha Russo, Miss New Hampshire, won a $2,000 scholarship in the talent competition by singing "Don't Rain On My Parade" from the musical "Funny Girl."
She chose the Barbra Streisand number despite being warned against it by many supporters who felt it was just too difficult.
