My 2 cents:
I had prepared a speach and typed it all out and everything but once I actually got up to the mic I threw it out the window and completely winged it. After watching all the other speeches (which were read/recited) being somewhat stiff, I figured it was better to just go off the top of my head....
It turned out to be the right choice as, despite my nervousness with public speaking, I was able to walk the line - being funny but also heartfelt.
