[TheWILDheart]

American Idol = MASSIVE exposure.
Looks like mamma is in for a #1 album

[Ghosty]

this is the first season i've ever watched, mainly since my dd wanted to. but i have really liked it. i like steven tyler, jen, with randy. and jimmy ended up being a plus. after i read how stevie's been watching it because her "friend steven" is on it, and then with jimmy on, i was telling my daughter stevie nicks needs to be on an episode, or it's an absolute shame.

i'm loving me some james and some casey! i'd buy their cd's, for sure. love each of them.

[Bandon]

Oprah, Glee, Dancing with the Stars, and now American Idol... That's maximum exposure!! :D

[skcin]

Holy sh*t. :shocked: :thumbsup:

I can't wait to see her & Jimmy working together again. :lol:

[ontheEdgeof17]

haha! :thumbsup:

Yes? No? Maybe?



haha

[danax6]

Wait. What. Wow.

I stopped watching when Paula and Simon left.

[ontheEdgeof17]

That's going to JLO, I'm afraid.

[TheWILDheart]

That's going to JLO, I'm afraid.

Oh pffftt. :mad:

Right, listen up folks, you all need to go out and buy 4 copies of IYD each. :lol:

[Artemis]

That's going to JLO, I'm afraid.

I thought JLo's pre-order sales weren't all that fabulous?

I think Stevie will be hitting the top 5, for sure. Oprah, Glee, Dancing With The Stars and now American Idol? They're really marketing her well this time.

Mind you, I'll be most interested to see her and Jimmy Iovine together.

[cliffdweller]

If Stevie Nicks appears alongside Jimmy Iovine as a guest mentor I will eat my remote control. I would love to see the interaction between those two!

I'm so with you on this. And I want you to film your eating the remote & post it here. :lol:

[DarkUponLight]

Is this for sure? Where is the article where it says she's going to be on there? I've wished all season for this because Jimmy's been on there mentoring them every week, but I pretty much gave up on it happening this late in the game. But it would be sooooo awesome to see her on there. Is this for real? Or just wishful thinking?

It was posted on the American Idol twitter. They hinted & said the mentor this week is a poet & legend herself.

[StevieRox81]

I don't usually watch American Idol...do the "mentors" usually appear live on the show or on "video footage" on the show? I would think it would be video footage considering Stevie will be performing that night at Webster Hall...

[LineInTheSand]

if this is true, and I suspect that it is, they will be filming it this weekend or Monday at the latest. The guest mentor and Jimmy meet with the contestants very early once they have selected the song -- then the contestant prepares for a couple days, records the track for iTunes, etc. So it would be filmed today or this weekend. Totally possible that this is Stevie! :]

Let's see American Idol airs may 4 concert at webster hall may 4... sit home and watch TV or go to Concert ??

Webster Hall here I come !

maybe i'll have to get a tivo or whatever the heck that is !

LOVE your name!!!

[LineInTheSand]

LOVE your name!!!

Thanks! I have been a longtime lurker but came out of hiding for IYD. The album has blown me away. So excited for Stevie (and for all of us!) :)

[cliffdweller]

I'm so with you on this. And I want you to film your eating the remote & post it here. :lol:

Done and done! :nod: :laugh:

[wheart]

Yeah, I don't think I ever watched a full episode of American Idol. I think that's about to change. Wow..there's so much going next week I should have just taken the whole week off!!

[RockAlot]

Wow, if this is true it is "major exposure" for Stevie! Because of Jimmy being on the show there is a good chance this is true!! Gooooo team Stevie!!

With all that's going on next week it would be a great time to take a vacation!!!
But not going to happen, taking a few days off to spend time in Palm Springs in May for the Indio show!!

[DashingDan]

..so, you think she'll boogie back to the left coast after webster hall to sing 'Secret Love' at the results show on Thursday? B12 shot, STAT!

[Musicman408]

Wait, so they haven't actually specifically said it's Stevie- though it would be AMAZING! What date are they saying this is?

PS: What is this about Dancing with the Stars?

[Macfanforever]

Thanks for the heads up.I'm not really a fan of American Idol,but I see Jimmy getting involve might change my mind about the show.We now might see good talent
from the show.I was a Star Search fan with Ed McMahon back in the 1980's.I will set my dvr's for that night because I will be seeung our friend live at the Webster.

[mezzoforte]

DYING.
This will be the first episode I've watched since season 1. Not a fan of AI, but this is incredible exposure for Stevie.
Oprah, Glee, and now this. I know we've all complained about lack of promo, but now she's getting more attention than I dared hope.

[DefDumbandBlond]

I don't usually watch American Idol...do the "mentors" usually appear live on the show or on "video footage" on the show? I would think it would be video footage considering Stevie will be performing that night at Webster Hall...

Yeah the mentors typically appear in the video footage which is filmed a day or two+ before. I can't wait :blob1: it's no doubtedly her, there's really nobody else I can think of offhand who is referred to that way as often as Stevie is.

[jkmaletic]

If Stevie Nicks appears alongside Jimmy Iovine as a guest mentor I will eat my remote control. I would love to see the interaction between those two!

Maybe Jimmy will manicure his eyebrows for this?

Maybe a live video feed from Webster Hall perhaps? ;)

Lol lets hope so ha-ha. He was kinds cute back in the day !! ( Minus one eyebrow ;) )

Mind you, I'll be most interested to see her and Jimmy Iovine together. Didn't Stevie and Jimmy end on a sour note? I remember the demo "Jimmy Come on Back" and I thought "Long Way to Go Was About Him" which seems like kind of an angry break up song. This will be interesting to see for sure!

[Annabell Lee]

Long Way To Go was about Joe Walsh ;) Great song, bad break-up

[louielouie2000]

Holy crap, it's starting to look like Liz Rosenberg is REALLY on her game this time around publicizing Stevie! :nod:

[Bryan]

Holy crap, it's starting to look like Liz Rosenberg is REALLY on her game this time around publicizing Stevie! :nod:

Yeah I haven't seen a campaign like this for an 'older' singer in..probably ever.They're really going all out..all the right moves,seen in the right places.Be interesting to see if it wins over the casual fans and shoots the CD to the top

[Annabell Lee]

It's weird, it used to be if i mentioned i was a Stevie fan people would roll their eyes or giggle or whatever. Now, people say yeah, she's so cool, God i love her voice, she's a true legend, etc. I think she's finally getting the recongition she so justly deserves and it's wonderful to bask in her glow ! ;)

Seriously ?
That never happened to me. :shrug:
I think no one would be brave enough to make fun of that with me at all ... :D

[CADreaming]

Holy crap, it's starting to look like Liz Rosenberg is REALLY on her game this time around publicizing Stevie! :nod:

I've been thinking the same thing! I am really surprised. Great job!

[UnwindedDreams]

Didn't American Idol respond to somebody's tweet that it wasn't Stevie?

[RockALittle250]

Didn't American Idol respond to somebody's tweet that it wasn't Stevie?

Here's that tweet

"This is close, but not quite @carlos_aldamas RT: @AmericanIdol I'm sure it's gonna be #StevieNicks! She's one of #JimmyIovine's best friends"

http://twitter.com/#!/AmericanIdol/status/64086198737580034

[Heartboy]

Oprah, Glee, Dancing with the Stars, and now American Idol... That's maximum exposure!! :D

Niether 'American Idol' or 'Dancing with the Stars' have been confirmed! Lets not piss our pants just yet!;)

[Ghosty]

please let it not be sheryl crow that ai is talking about.- not stevie, but close?
who would they consider close? no one compares to stevie's poetic lyrics. well, ann wilson many years ago, maybe, but doubt it's her.

[DefDumbandBlond]

Oh wtf. :mad: It better not be Sheryl or there will be projectile vomit on the TV screen.

Aaaaaggghhh I was hoping so much it would be Stevie, seriously, who else could it be that is known for being a poet and a legend?

[Artemis]

The only other "Poets" I can think of are Patti Smith and Kate Bush. Neither of whom would go near American Idol.

[DefDumbandBlond]

Yeah I definitely can't picture them on it, Patti especially.

[DarkUponLight]

It could be Dolly Parton for all we know. Shes been on there before, and she has written more songs for other pop, rock & r/b artists than she has even written for herself, so the poet thing could be used to describe her, tho I feel songwriter would be a more politically correct term, but who knows? I just hope it's truly someone worthy of the term "legend".

[Christopher]

Yeah, I am a Sheryl fan, but poet & legend do not come close to describing her.

If its not Stevie, it makes the most sense that it could be Patti Smith!? After all Jimmy did produce her 78' album "Easter" featuring her biggest hit "Because The Night". And Jimmy & Patti both hail from the mid 70's New York rock scene exploding during both their rise. To me, Legend & Poet in the female music lore could only be Stevie Nicks or Patti Smith:shrug:

[mezzoforte]

WTF? Stevie is an individual--how can you be "close"? It's either her or it's not, but there's no such artist as "almost Stevie."


There aren't many female artists who are described as legends, and I can't think of any but Stevie who are also called poets. So I'm going to cling to my delusion that they're toying with us and it really is her.
And when I'm crushed on Wednesday, the euphoria of Webster Hall will help me move past it.

[Jondalar]

Sheryl doesn't have anything coming out.

[Josh2003]

I just hope it's truly someone worthy of the term "legend".

That was my guess too. I don't see how she's "close," but I would certainly categorize her as a legend and a poet, and I know she has a new album coming out sometime in May.

Obviously it's Joni Mitchell. She's got American Idol written all over her. :lol::lol:

Aggravated that Wed. nights are the one night I teach. (No DVR or Tevo.) Do AI episodes or clips end up on YouTube?

- Jake

[Jondalar]

it's defintiely Stevie, that's how they always describe her, I have no doubts it is her

[darklinensuit]

I think you're right. But come to think of it, I could see Carly Simon getting the same description.

I don't remember Jimmy Iovine ever producing Carly Simon.

[darklinensuit]

I don't remember Jimmy Iovine ever producing Carly Simon.

Sorry, I have not read through everything - did the original info say that the "legend" and "poet" is someone Jimmy produced?

And wait 'til u see who r mentor is along side #JimmyIovine.

[DefDumbandBlond]

Well that will just mean they are in the footage with him showing the performers going over their song before they perform it, not necessarily they are connected to Jimmy in some way. I'm still being hopeful it's actually Stevie though. :o

[WildHearted]

I don't think I've ever heard the terms 'legend' and 'poet' both attributed to any other female artist besides Stevie..

So, if it's not her, I really wonder who it could be..

Also, Dolly is flawless so maybe her.

[kathy1]

i hope that it is true. i will definitely watch because i watch almost every week.

[Nightbird17]

Please...please let this be Stevie....Amen

[Troddew]

just saw an article on line that Carol King will be on Idol this week

[thepoetinmyhear]

just saw an article on line that Carol King will be on Idol this week

They just did Carole King night - the article is probably about last week *fingers crossed*

[UnwindedDreams]

i know Carole's music was featured on idol this past week.

[gldstwmn]

Yeah I definitely can't picture them on it, Patti especially.

Well Jimmy was her producer...Wouldn't it be a kick to see Patti on AI?

[Annabell Lee]

Oh come on it's GOT to be Stevie. Poet, legend, Jimmy Iovine, new cd coming out on tuesday, she's said several times that she's a big fan of AI. I would seriously be shocked if it WASN'T her ! I'll keep my fingers crossed, i hope i am right ! :]

[Heartboy]

it said:

And wait 'til u see who r mentor is along side #JimmyIovine. That can mean anyone! :shrug:

[Eugene]

Would this be the same tweeter that posted that Bruce Springsteen was going to be on two weeks ago? That didn't happen, obviously.

[rubylounge]

Oprah, Glee, Dancing with the Stars, and now American Idol... That's maximum exposure!! :D Makes sense she's doing Idol & Dancing with the Stars. I guess the studios are right next to each other.

[gypsy4life]

This is random, but, does anyone else remeber when she was singing to Jimmy (in the BellaDonna footage from YouTube) and she calls him "miracle"?

Ha! I have been calling him Miracel Iovine all season!!

[kick.inside]

Eh as much as I'm hoping and praying that it is Stevie, there's a huge chunk of me saying "of course it's not, this is just wishful thinking". :shrug:
Maybe when they responded with that "not quite" Tweet or whatever though, it was supposed to be a red herring - they lied because they wanted it to be more of a surprise. Probably not, but who knows.
I've been watching American Idol this season anyhow, so it's not like I'm going to be going out of my way to watch something I normally wouldn't just so I can cross my fingers and hope she's on it.
If it is her, HELL YES. There's going to be a lot of excited squealing and screaming coming from my living room.
If it isn't her - well screw you American Idol Twitter, because that Tweet was just misleading and you got a lot of fans all worked up for nothing. Shame on you guys.

[Jondalar]

I just thought of something. Why would they have Stevie Nicks on their show if J Lo's album drops the same day?

[SapphireSister]

I have been thinking for sure it would be her but after reading some of your posts I'm not so sure anymore. I still hope and pray it is :blob2:!

[Bandon]

Well, it Nickslive says it true, and they did, than I believe she will be on American Idol. :]

[mezzoforte]

Well, it Nickslive says it true, and they did, than I believe she will be on American Idol. :]

Whoa, there--Nicklive didn't say it will happen, just that it might: "There have have also been hints of a American Idol appearance." Nickslive is a fantastic site but I don't think they have any concrete info here (nor are they pretending to).

yeah, they didn't say that for sure

[Bandon]

yeah, they didn't say that for sure

STEVIE NICKS Scheduled on ELLEN Tuesday MAY 10th
Check your local listings for times during the day when it airs.


Others Scheduled on the show: "American Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez; actress Rose Huntington-Whiteley.


Stevie's also expected to appear on Dancing With The Stars in May although no official announcement has been made. There have have also been hints of a American Idol appearance.

Oh, my bad. You're right. :o

[Richard B]

The guest mentor is Sheryl Crow.

[DefDumbandBlond]

Vomit meet TV screen.

Nice of AI to be misleading with the poet/LEGEND title.

[TakenByTheSky23]

Well, maybe Stevie WAS slated to appear as the mentor, had to cancel due to her illness, so the producers scrambled and found Sheryl Crow instead? :shrug:

[Artemis]

Well, Sheryl would be delighted that many thought she was Stevie. :laugh:

[skcin]

The guest mentor is Sheryl Crow.

Confirmed?

[TakenByTheSky23]

Confirmed.

[WildHearted]

Sheryl is HARDLY a legend or a poet. I like her work and she's definitely very talented but legend?....

[KarmaContestant]

Sheryl is HARDLY a legend or a poet. I like her work and she's definitely very talented but legend?....

Agreed - but if you were born in 1990 or later like some of the contestants, Sheryl Crow might very well be a legend. She's old enough at this point that some youngsters might think she's 'classic'.

[Sanne2]

The guest mentor is Sheryl Crow.

Wow, anticlimatic much?

[StandbackStevie]

So its not Stevie its Sheryl Crow is the mentor on Idol so I don't need to watch it then thank god I watched last season and that was it for me. I haven't seen it yet and so glad Stevie is not doing American Idol but if she does will watch it.

[WildHearted]

Agreed - but if you were born in 1990 or later like some of the contestants, Sheryl Crow might very well be a legend. She's old enough at this point that some youngsters might think she's 'classic'.

I was born in 1993 lol.

[DefDumbandBlond]

Agreed - but if you were born in 1990 or later like some of the contestants, Sheryl Crow might very well be a legend. She's old enough at this point that some youngsters might think she's 'classic'.
I was born in 1990 and the only classic she is to me is a classic radio buzzkill. :laugh:
