I'm sure the retrospective at the start will clarify who he is & how they "burst onto the music scene with the blockbuster Rumours album..." along with other cliche phrases.
No doubt we'll hear how she would have auditioned for Idol & how she can totally identify with the contestants' overnight fame because she went from supporting Lindsey to being rich in an instant. One day I was scrubbing toilets, months later I was worth a million dollars with Lindsey.

I hope they use good pics. My pet peeve is when they talk about the 1970s but show pics from much later (like in Behind the Music).

Considering the theme of the week, I'm wondering whom she will talk about as being her own idol. Joni, Janis, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, the Allman Bros, Buddy Holly, the Eagles, Tom Petty, her grandfather...
Guessing there will be a lot of talk about getting to work with your idols, getting to cover your idols, having to be distinct as a performer and true to your vision so you can be someone's idol in the future. Guessing the show might also mention that Stevie has mentored many younger performers over the years.

I haven't watched this show in many years & of course I'm flying to a conference the week she's all over TV. I don't have a DVR, & I worry that American Idol can be pretty vigilant about getting things yanked off Youtube. I'm hopeful I'll get to see this stuff eventually, though. Hoping there's at least something worth seeing & not just the same old same old talk.

We need to make a drinking game for Wednesday night regarding how many times she mentions Lindsey / San Fran / honing her craft by watching Janis and Jimi / and all the other Stevie-isms we can think of etc.

Maybe now that they have whittled the contestants down to nine, there will be some extra time to fill in the two hours, but in general I don't think we'll hear a lot about Stevie. Ryan will say something at the beginning to introduce her as the mentor, but the clips we see of Stevie and Jimmy will be brief and probably edited to really focus on the contestants' performances. I hope I'm wrong. It would really be great to have Jimmy say something about the years he spent working with Stevie and what he thinks of her as an artist.

I just saw a commercial for Wednesday night's show. They advertised style advice from Tommy Hilfiger (something new they needlessly added this season) and coaching from Jimmy Iovine. Not a word about Stevie!

She'll mentor every contestant, so she'll be on throughout the broadcast, but just for few moments each time.

Yup. She will be mentoring with Jimmy...sitting through each contestant's first (I think) rehearsal and giving feedback. Usually the first two minutes before each contestant hits the stage. Tommy Hilfiger gives fashion advice (of sorts).

Here is a little Jimmy and Stevie interaction. It starts @ 1:46-2:30. @ 2:16 very funny.

Wow! What a great find! I loved these scenes I have never seen before. So cute as Jimmy mouths the words to Golden Braid as Stevie sings it and the way he dances as she rocks out to Edge Of 17.
