This story is from contactmusic.com:
Pop superstar PRINCE kept tense producers of AMERICAN IDOL guessing after failing to show for his surprise performance during the talent show's finale on Wednesday (24MAY06) until the last minute. Show host RYAN SEACREST feared he'd have to fill in for the pop star when he still hadn't arrived at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood for his live performance as the big reveal started. The US TV personality even stated, "No more surprises," just in case Prince failed to show - but then the singer walked onto the stage and wowed the crowd and millions of TV viewers. Seacrest recalls, "We're in a commercial break just before the surprise of Prince and he wasn't at the Kodak Theatre, so what do we do? "
"That does it for all of the guest stars this evening. No more surprises; that was fun huh? Did you enjoy that ladies and gentlmen? Good stuff. Now we move into the big part of the show, the results portion. Your American Idol this year. Who is it going to be? One more time let me hear you loud here in Hollywood!", announces Seacrest.
He walked on the stage 30 seconds before he was to go live, sings and was in his car before I toss to the next commercial break. He was there for a total of five-and-a-half minutes."
All I can say is good on ya Prince... He obviously thought the show was beneath him, but couldn't ignore the promotional opportunity... what a bad motherfucker!
This is just days after he was voted "sexiest male vegetarian".... maybe if he ate more meat, he'd wouldn't be as arrogant... hehehe
