New episodes of AI Rewind return this weekend with the Top 10 singing songs of the millennium.

Check your local listings.

TiVO already set!

Fox Chicago is showing Top 11. What's up with that?

Some parts of the country have always been a week behind. Don't know why. I know the week I watched the Boston auditions, Richmond was showing the week before.

But, it's in their listings. Don't mind me; I'm just pouting.

I highly recommend that everyone watch the entire episode if possible. Elliott was definitely a shining star that night and the producers of Rewind definitely gave him his due. One thing that I'm very curious about is whether anyone saw Kat's performance and judges' comments. I know that in syndicated shows that different stations sometimes squeeze in more commercials and edit out parts of the original program and I'm wondering if that's what happened with Kat. I watch it on The CW which uses a Fox affiliate in WVA. I've fast-forwarded through my DVR recording several times and could only find Kat's interview and a very small segment of her performance and no judges' comments at all.

Here's 3 minutes of Elliott being totally delightful:

P.S. I didn't get the editing quite right but the part I inadvertently left in with shrugs from Simon and Bucky are so cute that I just left them in.

I didn't see Kat's performance either. I didn't turn it on till about 9:02, so I assumed I must have missed it.
If they didn't show it........that just wasn't right.
I would have hated for them to not show Elliott's performance!!

Top 10......the beginning of "One Funky White Boy".......LOVE IT!!

Thank you, OFE. It's great that they left all the comments in and I loved seeing Claudette and Jodi in the audience.

I haven't seen the full Top 10 episode (see my whining above), but for the Top 12 episode when Melissa went home, the Fox edit included a brief clip of Elliott talking about the people backstage cringing when she missed the lyrics, but the TV Guide Network edit omitted this clip.

According to What Not To Sing, Kat's performance of The Voice Within should have been between Chris and Bucky.

I loved your video, shrugs and all. Is there a way to make it into an MP4 so I can put it in my itunes? I don't know how to do that.

Thanks so much OFE!!!
yeah,shrugs from Simon and Bucky are totaly cute :awe:

Actually it was the first week I watched the show...and Elliott knocked me down!

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but you can try it:

Thank you, PoorMe. Love your choice of bookend music.

I finally saw the full episode (although not on Fox - they ran Top 9) and based on the way they edited Kat's segment, I wonder if it was a song clearance issue. It didn't look like an edit for time.

But, why did they change the order of the performances? This was Elliott's one and only pimp spot!

Good episode, though.

ETA: Thank you for the iPOD version, OFE. It works great.

My power was off last night....did anybody watch Top 9 (I think that is where we were)?

I did. Almost hated reliving his first time in the bottom 2.

I can help you out. Send me an email using this screenname at comcast.net.
