People have been cheering for a contestant who lost in the Miss America beauty pageant, because during the talent competition instead of showcasing her musical or dancing skills, she showed off her compassion as a nurse.

On the event stage in Atlantic City last Sunday, instead of looking like a typical beauty queen in sequins and pearls, Kelley Johnson walked out on stage in her blue nurse's scrubs.

Delivering a monologue about her experiences with an Alzheimer's patient, Miss Colorado may not have won the Miss America crown, but she won the hearts of many with her unexpected, original definition of ‘talent'.
