In North America, its still Wed. or Thurs. correct?

**Diane** · 21 May 2006, 03:19

I've put it in the forum calendar. The last I heard it will be next Wednesday for North America. Perhaps one of our American members knows what time it will be on.

I saw today in the TV Guide for next week that it will be on 8-10PM, Wednesday.

It is scheduled for ITV2 not ITV3 on all the listings

Juan Llanos · 21 May 2006, 14:17

I hope that someone upload it to YouTube or something similar...

I know a site where you can get every episode of American Idol, but I am not sure if I can put the link up here, don't wanna get in trouble, but message me and will tell all to you.

SuperLoafMan · 21 May 2006, 22:07

That's right. What's been frustrating is that there has not been one ounce of publicity about who is going to be in the finale, aside from the contestants (obviously). I can't remember if there was any advertising before the final contest night last year about the 2 guest bands who sang with Bo and Carrie. If it wasn't for Meat himself telling us, we wouldn't have had a clue that he would be on the Wednesday finale until tonight! We owe him a lot, as he has spared us a lot of last minute scrambling.

AI is presenting it as "a lot of surprises and surprising guests" or something like that...as if this will generate some kind of special interest for AI. Whoever is watching it...will watch it...and whoever doesn't know that their real idols will be on, will have no clue...very strange publicity strategy if you ask me. I am sure they will announce something today...but it appears to be a day late and a pound short...maybe AI just gearing itself to American public who will be watching today...those that actually will buy albums - that's what it's all about at the end of the day for AI.

Wow!
Thank You veryveryvery much for that mariella!
Unfortunately I can´t watch it it live because it would be 3am here

But I hope that it will be added to the vids on there.

Finally, this was found in today's The Mercury News (San Jose):

"...Taylor will be crowned the next American Idol tonight in a two-hour finale featuring rumored pairings of Meat Loaf with Katharine, Toni Braxton with Taylor, the return of this season's Idols, an appearance by season 2 runner-up Clay Aiken, and Chris teaming with Live for I Walk the Line."

mikeloaf · 25 May 2006, 01:26

It's not a popular show in the Uk I think due to the rift between Simon Cowell and Pete Waterman over the rights to the 'idol' name.

I am looking forward to hearing Meat sing this duet. Vocally I've no doubt he's the star of the show!

To clarify in the UK it's on ITV2 8:30pm to 9:20pm this Friday. So get the beer's in.

Really?
50 minutes just? With commercials that means time for 1 Meat Loaf song.

Jackoutofhell · 25 May 2006, 02:36

OKay, I must admit, it was pretty short, but for what was there, it was awesome! Meat performed perfectly, and they sang well together. Very exciting, but it only lasted about three minutes. The host mentioned his previous albums, and announced Bat 3 as being "bigger than the legend himself!"
