Umm.. what do you wanna know?? Did you get to listen to the interview? The posts we had should still be on here. I think it was all under the 'Unreleased Alison Songs' thread.. maybe.

Well I want to know what the dealio is with Oprah. I mean why she didn't want to see her. And she said something about a very brief meeting. I'll just go and check the thread out. Thanks.

OH! I'm not so sure about the brief meeting thing. But the reason she didn't want to see Oprah was because she was "supposedly" on Wichita's back. So my guess is she wouldn't want to look like a dork coming up to her like that.. although it would be pretty funny to see!

I saw it on Oprah After the Show.. I think. I can't really remember, but I have it recorded somewhere. If I were able to make my vhs tapes into dvds, I'd send you one. But unfortunately, I haven't found any way that I can do that yet. As far as I know, Alison only performed on the show, along with Dolly, Shania, and Melissa Ethridge (sp?). IMO.. Alison needs to be invited back to the show and do a WHOLE HOUR with just her and Oprah!  |

Hey yall...I remember watching the show with Dolly,Shania,Melissa Ethridge....so when you watch that show you will see that Alison and the guys played for most of the songs they did...actually...It looked like, to some people that Alison and the band were just ignored..like they were just a no-name band or something..Oprah never mentioned them..to the best of my memory..but of course..the lovely and gracious Dolly did say who they were...some akus fans were angry because it seemed that Oprah was kind of ignoring their contribution......then on the after the show part of Oprah....Alison came out and sang the song 9 to 5 with
Dolly giving a little vocal backup...so..see that's why it was funny to the people who felt like Oprah was ignoring Alison.....oh and wow what a
job she did on the 9 to 5 song...I gave her 15 points out of 10 ha ha

Thanks for clearing all that up, Mandy. I was only able to watch the 9 to 5 part. With that said, I obviously can't speak for the first part of the show, but in the end, Oprah did mention Alison (although only Alison, not US) in her thank yous.
Well, I gave her 16 points! ha! LOL! I'm kidding.

As I remember it, Alison and the boys were asked by Shania to fly up to Chicago and back her on Oprah's program. I think they had just recorded Shania's accoustic TV special and Shania wanted to continue the magic. Being an old friend of Dolly's, Alison would obviously back her up too. Oprah went to thank or introduce Alison on the show but blanked on her last name. AKUS was there as a back-up band only and Oprah was obviously caught unprepared.
During the after-show, Dolly asked Alison to perform "9-5" with her (Dolly was there promoting her "I'm A Woman" CD and Alison performs a very sultry "9-5" on it). As Mandy said, Alison was so brilliant performing the song, she walked away with the performance! Alison also looked dynamite that day!

AKUS just take it as it comes and as long as they can perform, I'm sure they are happy!

Also on the Oprah show, after the women had performed, only Shania, Dolly and Melissa were on the couch, no mention of Alison at all. Dolly is good about that stuff though.  |

I did get to watch the show and the "after the show"...and of course..being an Alison fan I was disappointed that she wasn't
given the least bit of recognition by Oprah...then I thought...well
maybe Alison didn't even want that..and didn't want to sit on the
couch....I really tend to think that..I didn't know what anyone else
thought about it until now...I think all Alison fans were disappointed
but I'm really sure it was unintentional on Oprah's part....and with
that being said....I laughed out loud when Alison said on the radio
show that it was a "brief" meeting...ha ha...brief....well good grief
if it had been any "briefer" I would have had to write Oprah a
non-flattering fan letter..ha ha....just joking....
