Starting on April 18, 2007, reports by various news sources and by American Idol officials indicated that "two of the best selling stars in the history of popular music" will appear in the episode scheduled for Wednesday, 25 April. Moreover, it appears that the two performers in question may be Celine Dion and Elvis Presley, the latter through a combination of actual footage, both visual and vocal of the rock singer's performance of the inspirational song "If I can dream" (taken in 1968)for the close-ups, combined with footage of a well know Elvis impersonator lypsicing to the song whilst appearing next to Ms. Dion, who will indeed be singing, on a pre-recorded and filmed segment for the long shots with the impersonator, as well as alone for her own individual close-ups. Simultaneously, the American Idol contestants still competing will appear as back up singers, during the pre-recorded segment showing Ms. Dion and the impersonator, dressed in white, to match Presley's appearance in the 1968 tape. |
