Well to be fair to them you guys...they probably didn't even know who they were way back then on their first televised performance ever.

I thought Bret made a lot of funny facial expressions but compared to way back then...lol

two things: 1. i love how finally, now that this is their third appearance, there are audience members who seem to appreciate their music Smile

2. the blonde woman who gets the gift at the end: isn't that the woman who plays lily in eagle vs. shark? if not, it REALLY looks like her.

Tue Apr 01, 2008 11:02 pm

haha i thought the same thing, with both lol

I was like ami doesn't that look like loren horsley? thats loren isn't it?? lol

Tue Apr 01, 2008 11:24 pm

It really does look Lauren.. it very well could be...

I agree it is nice to see the audience show some emotion this time. I'd be a puddle of emotion if I was there. Very Happy
