– Stevie Nicks fawning over him: “When she said I should have been in Fleetwood Mac, I didn’t think she was talking to me. It wasn’t real. Shoot. She must be joking! I feel blessed. She is such a sweet woman. She’s been the best mentor we’ve had so far in my opinion.

Stefani and Kanal will have a lot to live up to after the Top 9 contestants universally raved about mentor Stevie Nicks.

"Stevie Nicks was the one person who actually changed our perspective towards the mentor," booted contestant Heejun Han tells Zap2it. "A couple of past weeks we had a mentor who wasn't prepared, who pretty much just wanted to have their own [moment in the spotlight], but Stevie Nicks was really well-prepared and I think she's the best mentor we've had so far."

The big news of the week is, of course, Heejun's departure from American Idol. It seemed like he just might catch a second wind when he eschewed last week's theatrics for some straightforward singing (imagine that): "I realized I was letting so many people down," he told Ryan. The guy's so gosh-darn sincere, isn't he? I'm actually not being sarcastic. He sang "A Song for You," impressing guest mentor Stevie Nicks with his "beautiful, effortless" vocals and leading her to make what seems to be a spot-on observation: "In his heart he doesn't want to be hurt, so he acts like he doesn't care." Ohhh yes, Stevie. That's what I'm seeing too.

Awww. Heejun is just like Lindsey.

But in order for him to have been in Fleetwood Mac, he would have had to take and pass the class Sheryl Crow offered, on how NOT to join Fleetwood Mac....

I've discovered that on this site sometimes people just post anything...they don't have to have a source...

I just finished watching this because I rarely watch all of anything in one sitting and I want to thank you Skip, big time, for recording this for all of us. Your editing job was superb! I'm not a fan of any of these singers. None of them have voices I would be dying to hear. I watched the whole show only because the Queen of rock-n-roll was there. My favorite parts of the show were when Stevie sang with any contestant and as some of you have mentioned it was great seeing Stevie and Jimmy together again.

Yes, I have and I personally don't like Karen or her sister Kelly. In my opinion, they are dark and when they are in Stevie's presence they cast a shadow across Stevie's light. They are the polar opposite of Robin...who encouraged her to shine so bright. Again, it is just my opinion... for what it's worth.

Is Karen somehow a bad influence on Stevie? I hesitate to judge people I don't know without evidence I can see for myself.... unless they're celebrities. Then I feel free to speculate about their motives and personalities whenever I please, even with only a modicum of "evidence" to support my theories. Hypocritical? Perhaps. Sue me.

With regard to American Idol, Stevie saved this season for me. It's been rather dull with the exception of a few stellar performances here and there.

The one getting the most praise, Jessica, does nothing for me. Last week, while the judges were weeping and gnashing their teeth at the fact that she got the lowest number of votes in a nauseating display of favoritism as they "saved" her, I was not surprised. America doesn't like to be told who they should vote for and Jessica has very little personality. I expect Jessica will last a couple more rounds, then once again be gone - and none too soon.

I hope the judges have some of Paula's medications laying around that they can take on that occasion, or we may see Randy and Jennifer have nervous breakdowns.

Stevie gave us the most exciting moments of the season, and I don't just say that as a hardcore fan. Even my non-Stevie fan friends agree. Otherwise, this season has been a snooze overall.

ITA with everything you said. In reading the boards of what other people are saying about Jessica, there is definitely a back-lash & the poor girl is just caught up in it. There is obvious favorism by the judges for Jessica & Josh, too. Yeah, Jessica will go. For me, I've liked Hollie & Phillip; Phillip for his uniqueness mostly & Hollie for her voice. And Stevie liking Phillip just added to his uniqueness b/c not everyone can say Stevie Nicks really likes you as an artist. Yeah, & Stevie made AI more enjoyable for me.

I don't agree that Philip is very unique. To me, he's pretty much imitating Dave Matthews.

Does anyone have the vid of Stevie singing Dreams with Elise?

Elise Testone sets the bar high when it comes to listing her dream duet. In an interview with MTV recently, the latest outcast on "American Idol" reveals her wish to work with Stevie Nicks and Brian May when she hits studio to record her debut album.

Talking about the possibility of collaborating with Stevie, Elise admits she hasn't talked to the Fleetwood Mac star even though she has revealed her desire to hire Elise if she ever needed a singer. "No, no, but hopefully there will be," she says with a smile.
