{Miss Oklahoma, Olivia Jordan, won big at the 2015 Miss USA pageant on Sunday, July 12, beating out 50 women to win the crown.}

Jordan, 26, made it through the fierce rounds of the competition, sliding into the Top 15 after preliminary events and captivating viewers as she worked it in the live show’s bikini and evening gown rounds.

The Oklahoma native impressed during the question portion of the competition, which was held in Baton Rouge, La. She spoke first on the issue of race relations in the United States, stressing the need for improved dynamics, and later went on to name Oprah and Harriet Tubman as two women she would like to see on the $10 bill.

The model and 2013 winner of Miss World America inherits the title from 2014 Miss USA winner Nia Sanchez, who represented the state of Nevada in last year’s competition. Jordan was followed in the top five by first runner-up Miss Texas Ylianna Guerra, second runner-up Miss Rhode Island Anea Garcia, third runner-up Miss Nevada Brittany McGowan, and fourth runner-up Miss Maryland Mamé Adjei.

The competition was famously full of controversy thanks to co-owner Donald Trump’s headline-making words about Mexican immigrants as he campaigns for the GOP nomination for President in the 2016 election. Trump’s choice to label these immigrants as “rapists” and drug pushers inspired NBC and Univision to drop the pageant, and moved scheduled talent — from judges to performers to hosts — to pull out of the gig.

Unfortunately, the pop artist was forced to cancel the final two concerts in Kinshasa and Kigali due to side effects of preventive anti-malarial medication that required immediate hospitalization.}

What do you think?

We already know the show in Gabon went off without a hitch. Now, we have some evidence of what Stromae was up to in Brazzaville. In a series of photos shot by Young Talent Award-winning Congolese photographer Baudouin Mouanda, the MOSAERT clothing line founder can be seen strolling the capital’s streets with members of S.A.P.E.

“It’s horrible. (…) It still affects me to see that we still cannot live together. And that’s really hard, “spoke Paul Van Haver real name, before bursting into tears in front of an excited audience.

Stromae family was affected by the Rwandan genocide, for his father and much of his family were killed in April 1994 in Rwanda.

The 30-year-old artist admits it was the third time he was crying in an interview from the beginning of his African tour, which began on May 13 in Dakar, Senegal. “The first time was in Cape Verde. (…) Whenever I say we cannot live together, well I cry, “said the singer, still under the influence of emotion.
