Miss Maine Marybeth Noonan Talks About Pageants, Politics (Not Really) + Performing [VIDEO]

Miss Maine Marybeth Noonan is on her way to Miss America in Atlantic City, New Jersey. But first, she stops by the Q106.5 studios.

Noonan would be the first Miss America from Maine if she claims the title in September.

"It's time to put Maine on the map," she said. "It's been a while. It's time to change that up."

For her talent, Noonan will sing an "upbeat, jazzy version" of "I've Got Rhythm." We can't wait!

She had lots more to say about what it takes to compete in the Miss America pageant. Check out the video above.

Good luck, Marybeth! Come back when you get the crown.

Miss America airs live on Sept. 11, 2016 on ABC.
