I was surprised that this time it was actually very impressive. The girl,
Bianca or something like that, did a fine job. It really showed a contrast
with the other MTV group from half time. She was surprisingly classy for
one of todays "artists".

I think, from hearing much of the commentary, that it was the lack of
