Joanna with the other finalists during the finale of the talent competition before the announcement of the results....she really stands out in this photo....simply beautiful!!!!

I'm very happy for Sierra Leone!!! And Canada, they were both amazing... I think Sierra Leone could take it all, but some people disagree with me. That's okay, but they were acting like they were to be-all end-all. They don't know, and ultimately neither do I.
