And I agree that MW was probably chosen because it was the opening song...a song with big power to get the energy going, yanno. Wasn't she originally supposed to sing Days before it was decided that she was the opening act?

I thought there was sometihng funny about the performance though...at least I know it was because she was singing too fast now. Overall I thought it was a great performance...I loved the costumes, I actually liked her vocals, although the acoustics of it were not good at all I thought. I think she was just covering her tattoo because it may be considered too "radical" for sometihng like Kouhaku.

And to be honest...I'm not surprised that the white team won. Just based on the sales of male artists these days, and the lineup...esp. with Mr. Children...I could've told you beforehand that the white team would probably cream the red team. =\ I think there's a lot of predetermined bias in the voting before the show even starts.

EXACTLY!
I mean, fangirls tend to be crazier, and with all the boybands (Tohoshinki, SMAP, Tokio) and Mr Children (who sells like crazy), it's really difficult to say it's 100% fair.
