Tune in March 11th to see where @haleyreinhart sent me on my idol journey @abcnetwork #americanidol #juju #jrayallday #teamju #justinbrayonidol #haleyreinhart

Haley didn't know..... now I'm wondering if I misunderstood his post.... it technically doesn't say she'd be on Idol in March, it just says see where she's sending him

I think he's just promoting the season premiere of Idol on March 11th. My info says she'll be on the Chicago Auditions episode which I heard is March 18th.

Harry says the American Idol Producers shot a lot of footage of Haley during the Chicago Idol Auditions in McCormick Place but they may only use about a 10 second clip.

This was the promo from last September:

I think it goes without saying if Haley is in the March 11th show that it would be taped from the Chicago auditions, not "live" on the show.

I saw another person tag Haley and Windy City Live in their instagram post about American Idol (it didn't include a photo of Haley), I don't recall seeing him as one of the people we saw judged on WCL, so I'm guessing it might have been someone else sent through from earlier rounds that day.

The question is whether they will show clips of Haley 'in action' as a judge, or just a mention w/ maybe a photo while referring to the Idol hopefuls...?

I just assumed Haley would know if they would use any video they filmed that day and surprised at her not knowing (and tweeting about not knowing)

My info says she'll be on the Chicago Auditions episode which I heard is March 18th.

I wonder if her surprise wasn't necessarily because she didn't know she'd be on Idol as much as she knew she'd be on the following week, but not it's debut on the 11th?

Just a reminder that Haley might be seen on Idol this Sunday -- March 18th.

Haley was not on the show Sunday.

... if Haley appears on Idol, it'll most likely be tonight (Mon). A news story said someone from the Chicago audition will be on TV tonight. Another source noted, "don’t expect to see much Chicago footage on 'American Idol' because the celebrity judges weren’t at those tryouts"

[Himm2]

At Cottage Tap Haley said the celebrity Judges weren't there so maybe the Chicago auditions were a stepping stone to a different venue before a Hollywood chance. Harry Reinhart said the producers filmed lots of Video with Haley interacting/mentoring the contestants. And wherever my mail-lady got her so-called "insider" info it was wrong or the editors just decided not to show any.

I don't think it's out of the question, if any contestant she helped send through gets further, they would use any video they have of Haley w/ that contestant in Chicago...
