Also remember that these were sports sporcommentators, not Rock pundits. They knew that Meat Loaf and Kelly Clarkson were performing before (in their eyes) the big event so they probably put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5.
If 2 rugby players were expected before a rock concert but another one turned up, it's quite likely that rock pundits wouldn't be able to tell the difference either.
But, as Tink said, it would be nice if "management" had let everyone know that Meat Loaf will be singing two songs and the second will be a duet with Patti Russo.
