The Veronicas performed a 9 min version of their multi-platinum selling smash hit “Untouched” on APR 19th as part of the Miss USA TV Special in Las Vegas for NBC. The idea to use The Veronicas for the Evening Gown competition came from US choreographer Michael Schwandt and the show’s Executive Producer, Phil Gurin. “We were up against a lot of skepticism from the Miss Universe Organization because it’s a fast-tempo rock song and the overall look of The Veronicas is young rock” said Schwandt, “but we had the network behind us, and in the end we were right, the performance was a smash!” Michael Schwandt choreographed 41 non-finalists in the opening section of the performance, the patterns of the 10 finalists around the band, and actually directed the Veronicas performance itself.
