'American Idol Rewind' Returns in National Syndication on Saturday, September 29th
Series Will Highlight Season 2 with Over 30 Exclusive Contestant Interviews & Never-Before-Seen Footage

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- American Idol Rewind is back, and this time the popular syndicated series will highlight Season 2, the year that put American Idol on the map with legendary talent and unprecedented ratings. Premiering Saturday, September 29th in most syndicated markets nationwide, American Idol Rewind will feature an introduction from Season 2 winner Ruben Studdard, narration by runner-up Clay Aiken and the best never-before-seen clips and interviews to-date.

This year on American Idol Rewind, viewers will get to see all-new, exclusive interviews with over 30 contestants from Season 2 as they sit down and reveal what it was like to be a part of the American Idol experience. American Idol Rewind will catch up with Top 12 contestants -- Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Kimberley Locke, Josh Gracin, Trenyce (Cobbins), Carmen Rasmusen, Kimberly Caldwell, Rickey Smith, Corey Clark, Julia DeMato, Charles Grigsby and Vanessa Olivarez -- as they reveal their personal take on what really happened during Season 2 and how they felt during the audition process and Hollywood Rounds. Rewind will also highlight other Idol contestants who made it through to Hollywood, along with those who failed "spectacularly," and will recap the episodes that helped secure everyone's favorite series into television history.

In the September 29th premiere, viewers are greeted by Idol winner Ruben Studdard as he introduces the new season. Viewers will then hear from runner-up Clay Aiken, as he guides us through all seven audition cities and looks back on where American Idol Season 2 began its new search for the next music superstar. In New York City, Simon, Paula and Randy have high expectations, hoping the city that never sleeps will provide a wealth of talent. Between the bad and the very bad, it doesn't take long before the judges let the contestants know what awaits them in the audition room if they can't deliver. Some will make it through, others will head home and, in the tradition of American Idol, everyone will walk away with something to say.

Geez it takes that long? Wow!

north_clt · 09-30-2007, 08:19 PM

That was the first season I started watching, but I didn't jump in until there were only like seven of them left, I think.

Anyway, that was one of the better seasons, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the shows I missed. Clay narrating also ought to be good.

Countrygal919 · 09-30-2007, 08:37 PM

Season 2 is my 2nd favorite season. Its the season that really took off.

swim4life107 · 10-01-2007, 05:55 PM

Yeah for sure. I did like season 1 though she because it was probably the most surreal and authentic. I don't feel the judges used the techniques they do now to sway the voters one way.

Anyways, did anyone watch the premiere? I really liked it. A lot of people I forgot about. Who could ever forget Frenchie Davis' audition? AMAZING! Had she not been thrown out I have a hunch she would of won it.

I can't wait until Season 5 Rewind (which will be awhile) so we can see Kellie during the Hollywood rounds. I only remember her being shown a tinsy bit.

Countrygal919 · 10-01-2007, 06:10 PM

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, its on my DVR. Frenchie was amazing, I was so upset when she got cut.

mmboyz · 10-01-2007, 06:49 PM

I am so glad that they are going to keep on with the rewinds! I can't wait til season 4 and 5!! Those are my all time favorites!!

swim4life107 · 10-01-2007, 09:33 PM

Wow those twins were really good. I wonder what the hell happened with those 2.

north_clt · 10-07-2007, 05:04 PM

It's on here in Charlotte. They had Frenchie's audition, and she was amazing.

Next week: Charlotte's own Clay Aiken.

(Well, at least he was living here when he was on the show. He's back in Raleigh now.)
