Didn't you hear the part where he said he'd just had dinner with Mick Fleetwood? Who knows what Mick had to say there...Clearly Steven was angry and Stevie for keeping Mick in the poor house!

I kid, I kid. :-)

I think what I liked so much about this, aside from seeing Stevie acting so real, so genuine, so friendly, was that I don't think I was expecting her to have such good advice for the kids.

I think of Stevie as sometimes being too nice, and I was afraid that she would hold back and sort of give some lightweight, rather empty/airy-fairy suggestions, "Oh, you know, I think you just did great. Keep it up."

But she had some real, thoughtful words of advice, unique to each individual contestant, and clearly knew what she was talking about.

I guess we've really never had a good look at Stevie "behind the scenes" in a creative sense, giving her input and feedback, and instead we (or I at least), have the image of her, in FM, shunned off to Sly Stone's studio while the real "musicians" do all the creative/technical stuff. It was refreshing being able to see Stevie bring forth her ideas, all which, I thought, made total sense.

Bring on the In Your Dreams documentary!

Exactly! So awesome!

I think what a lot of people don't take into account is that Stevie was a very creative force within FM. She may not have played an instrument but she was very good at coordinating the vocals with the other band members and her sense of harmony is unparalleled. She can sing around anyone AND she was an intensely creative songwriter. She has lots of wisdom and advice to impart to those contestants. Go Stevie!

Usually MJ puts up mentor comments as well but just now, I went to her site and the vids seemed to only be of the performances. Look like I might have steered you wrong. Sorry!

I watched it. I had DVR'D it. First AM. Idol. I've watched since Simon left. Great show. Great To see Jimmy and Stevie together. Stevie was so great with everybody. You could really see the passion she has for singing and music. Watching her harmonize with the kids was just wonderful. I agree put her there permanently.

I think she really brought out something in them that not a lot of mentors can....cause it was a great night

Mick

I remembered this from last season..

After Haley Reinhart took on Led Zeppelin with a personal choice of ‘What Is and What Should Never Be’ for her first performance tonight on ‘American Idol,’ ‘Idol’ mentor Jimmy Iovine gave her another classic-rock tune — Fleetwood Mac‘s ‘Rhiannon’ — for her second song.

“You sang that song so beautiful that you remind me of why I fell in love with Stevie Nicks to begin with,” offered Steven Tyler.

Not to mention sexing up Jimmy Iovine!

It's too bad things didn't work out for them. They are so cute together.

I thought he looked high.

I kept watching JLo's body language, how she was leaning away from him towards Randy.

Anyone know if/when this is airing in the UK?
