I saw that interview in the context of the entire show and it wasn't a very substantial interview... Pretty much fluff; and it was on American Idol Extra, that isn't carried by many cable outlets. I really can't imagine they would count that insignificant piece as an "official" appearance, when Kelly (Pickler) and Elliott appeared on the regular show.
I'm kind of in the same boat as you as I don't know what protocol has been in years past. I got hooked the first season when Kelly Clarkson was on, but then really didn't watch again until season 5.
I'd really love it if she was on the finale, and this sure has got everybody buzzing etc., so I suppose it's great PR, but something in me is going to be so pi$$ed because I'm going to feel like I've been had.
BTW, GB, did I ever ask you what part of northern Indiana you were from? My folks lived in Anderson. I grew up in that area, went to school in Muncie and Bloomington.
I live WAAAAAY north in Indiana now....right between South Bend and Elkhart; about 2 miles south of the Indiana/Michigan border.... Really cold country. I'm thinking about relocating back to Evansville, IN where I was a DJ/Sound technician in the late 80's and early 90's. I loved it there. Fairly moderate winters, being right there on the Ohio River.... I know... too much information!!!!
Back to Kat... I don't know why they wouldn't want to have her back really. I can only see benefits for AI. It would only help to boost ratings.... but why wouldn't they announce it to get the full impact???
Well I don't think a FOX station would say that without good authority from on high. So hopefully this is true. I'm torn whether or not I think it's a great idea to do something with Blake on Open Toes. I'd rather see her sing Love Story. And she could even do Love Story with Blake. That might make more sense really.
Think about this verse in relation to Blake...
I always made up some excuse Sayin' that you weren't my type Didn't wanna face the truth Didn't wanna cross that line 'Til one day I saw you Out the corner of my eye You were flirting with some girl And inside I thought I would die
They could have fun with that. But if it is Open Toes...I do remember the weird reports from Minneapolis last year. SHE'S REHEARSING THINK! SHE'S REHEARSING THINK! And then she started doing it a few days later in San Diego. So sometimes this stuff is true!
Open Toes could be....well it could be great or it could be a disaster. I think it would almost be a better idea the let Kat sing Love Story and then have her bring Blake on stage to do Open Toes with her. Or maybe Blake/Kat Open Toes first...into Love Story. I don't know.
But of course she's out of town...duh. But a Blake fan wouldn't know that she was in New York & Boston this weekend I guess. We'll probably know for sure tomorrow! If she's doing media appearances for the show that'll pretty much confirm it!
If all the people appear that have been rumored, the show will have to be a mini-series in itself!!!
About the only ones that haven't been rumored to make an appearance are Jimi, Janis and Jim Morrison...but after seeing the Celine performance with Elvis this year, that may be a possibility as well!!!!
P.S. Are all of you from the UK???.... just noticed that a lot of people are using the British spelling for rumor (rumour).....
Katharine and Blake must have really hit it off. http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=%22katharine+and+blake%22
