Will Young's "Leave Right Now" has been the 'exit' song on American Idol in this series, and he is now going to appear live on there, in the final, singing the whole song

It may be one of his old songs, but it's still beautiful, and I look forward to seeing him on there. It must be pretty awesome for him, and pretty nerve-wracking, singing live on a Show that has about 40 million viewers

It makes a change to see a British male solo singer on this, and I wish him luck It's on U.S. tonight, and on Wednesday/Thursday on ITV2. I love the Final, but this will make it extra special for me!

Yes he was on the very first AI, way back in september 2002, it was all new then and even Simon Cowell was unknown lol.

Bet he's nervous No doubt he'll be fine though, one thing about Will is he's a true professional when it comes to performing

Really looking forward to this. May even have to stay up to try & find a live feed.

Not expecting it to give Will huge sales as he's virtually unknown in the states & Leave Right Now as yet hasn't had much airplay. However I hope it raises his profile so he can release more music over there & perhaps do a few small gigs.

In reality, its probably going to be more like about 23-25 million, last season the finale got 28 million viewers, but this season the show is down quite a bit, in the past several weeks its down about about 4-5 million viewers .. still, awesome opportunity for Will, would love for him to make in the US. Hopefully the label have him supporting the single with TV, radio interviewes, etc. Its a very radio friendly song, so could be a huge hit.

I agree with this Amazing. A foot in the door would be brilliant - I believe he's recorded some radio interviews already so there's clearly a plan of some sort developing

What a fantastic opportunity for Will.As always he will give his performance his all.Other popstars have made it in the states so there is no reason why he can't do the same.He just needs some good promo.Hopefully Simon Fuller has sorted some good appearances for him.

Brilliant performance from Will. He really is a class act.

LRN #25 on American Itunes, EP #33 & huge climbs for his albums on Amazon.

Hope there is lots of promo planned to capitalise on last night's performance

Just seen this on YouTube. What a great performance. He stood really still singing while the big screens were going frantic with all the clips from the series. Great response from the audience too!

His new album, which will probably include all his biggest hits too, is being called "Leave Right Now" in the US.

Note perfect as always, he never fails to deliver a beautiful live performance, understated this time to suit the occasion, but pure class.

21 at last count - fingers crossed he breaks into the top 20

I haven't heard if there's any other follow up promo though, be a shame if there isn't.

It would be sinful if there wasn't any follow-up promo.
