I'm not sure if this is a re-run or not since I don't watch Oprah regularly. I was just channel surfing and she is doing a behind the scenes show on American Idol. It's on again here (Chicago) very late, so if any of you missed it or are interested, maybe you can catch it later tonight.

Looks like it is not a re-run for all the Idol Fans, she just introduced the final three contestants.

Hermi - I will tape it for you as soon as I get home - you might miss the first 10 minutes, but you'll get the rest... I'll whip home after work (maybe I'll even leave 5 minutes early so that I don't miss any of it)... I'll mail it to you - how's that sound?

Donut, I know here Oprah repeats at a really odd hour...like midnight? I'm on the west coast and it just ended here. She talked to the contestants, judges, Ryan, and had Kelly on. I won't do spoilers cuz I actually only caught about 13 minutes all together. Paula gave Oprah one of the necklaces she made (?) and said she gave one to all the contestants. Clay showed his and said he felt like Mr. T. Oh and the group did "What the world needs now is love." That was pretty much all that I caught, lol.

Edited to add that the repeat is usually a week or so after the show first ran.

Donut, here in Chicago, Oprah is repeated at midnight -- same show, same day -- on our local affliate for ABC after Nightline.

It was a great show - <And Hermi, I managed to get 56 minutes of the show - we missed the first 4 minutes... email me your address and I'll drop it in the mail for you on Thursday>

I was impressed with the backstage information that was shared on this program - it was interesting to learn that they choose their songs two weeks in advance without knowing who's leaving... That's the only info I'm going to give out...

I really enjoyed the show and was surprised at just how busy these performers are all week!

I caught a bit of this. I haven't been watching Idol for several weeks, so a quick question: when they showed the finalists singing "What the world needs now," why wasn't Vanessa there?

I had my wife tape the show and watched it last night instead of Jeopardy/Wheel. When they said Kelly was going to be on, I cringed because I thought I was going to have to endure "Miss Independant" again. I was so glad she sang "The Trouble With Love". It's one of my favorite songs from the CD. They should have released it as the single. I have not heard "Miss I" on the radio yet and I listen to all types of stations.

Today I heard Miss Independent on the radio and I was very impressed with Kelly's vocal range and delivery. Miss Independent was a very good song! Also, I found a co-worker who taped the Oprah AI show!! I get to borrow her tape tomorrow...Woo Hoo!!

Lyra - Vanessa has been released from her contract with AI after doing the PETA nude shot. The powers that be at AI are distancing themselves as far as possible from Vanessa.

I mentioned that she would probably have problems with the AI people about that ad earlier in the miscellaneous gossip thread and got flamed for it.

but if you notice on the cd and all references are to the top 10 again and no Vanessa or Corey

Is Charles on it? I wondered if they may have seized on the PETA ad to get rid of Vanessa after the Corey fiasco just to even the numbers out again. I am very cynical, aren't I?

Charles is now considered to be in the top 10. They are definitely distancing themselves from Vanessa, and let Corey on the Love Songs CD, but won't be touring with them.
