    They can’t be mentioned if they’re already forgotten about.

    They haven’t forgotten about them, they are just being ignored as if last season’s finale never happened.

    Oh wow! You guys are right! Is this the first time they have not mentioned last year’s runner up and winner in the first show? Yikes!
    They did show a quick clip of Leee winning, though, right? Or am I imagining that?

    Not making excuses for Lee’s drop but I think a reminder about who Idol viewers voted for, maybe play a little of one of his songs would have softened the blow

    I don’t think that’s an “excuse” at all… I think its true. When I saw the ITunes ads I thought they were planning something, but I guess not. Maybe tonight in Milwaulkee, since it is the closest thing to Chicago?

    Possibly. But that seems odd on the second week of the season if they are going to hark back to last year’s winner in any depth. Maybe if they have a little montage for Lee planned, they will save it for whenever he is expected to be on the show? Either that week, or maybe the week before to remind people about his story from last year in teasing the appearance coming up.

    Hoping to see at least a little of Danny and possibly Matt on tonight’s show, they were really cute together with the crowd in the videos on YT from the Milwaukee audition kickoff.

    Don’t the previously winner’s usually get a winner’s package? I would think Lee would get something possibly to air the night of the first live show. David got one and Kris shot one but they ended up using mostly finale footage.

    David’s winners package aired the first episode of the new season. It was a montage of some clips of his performances set to A Daily Anthem, they also aired that Light On promo commercial during the episode, then they used TOML that same week in another montage.

    I thought what Kris filmed but got scrapped was a commercial type thing like the LO commercial? I haven’t even heard of Lee filming anything like that.
    This was the commercial, it ran a good month and a half leading up to the premiere.

    They aired something for Kris using some of the new footage they shot but I don’t remember when that aired. I just remember fans where mad because it only show him in profile and from the back from the new footage. The producer actually commented not long ago that idol chose to go with the finale footage because it was more dramatic.
