my local fox affiliate showed a clip of carrie singing….it sounds like it is going to be awesome
from what I can tell she is singing “Praying for Time” by George Michael
All the while the real PTB are questioning where last years donations went or, didn’t —
NY Times
and, hmmmm . . . .
“This year, however, the Charity Projects Entertainment Fund is not involved in the project. Instead it will be more directly overseen by the producers of “American Idol” under a new charity, which has taken the name of the fund-raiser, Idol Gives Back. “
Carrie, Jason & Kristy bring the Pretty to those Pics. Where was Carly? Did she get dissed for her dress again and is that why they haven’t shown her? Talking about dressing, Brooke needs some help too….
All fund raisers should be forced to donate a large sum to start the ball rolling. Nigel & the other billionaires of AI can spare a millions or two. It’ll be like lose change for them.
Does Brad Pitt EVAH AGE? My god, that man looks like he’s 20 y.o. What’s his secret?
All the IDOLS are good looking, they look like movie stars!
I want Syesha’s hair. Who styles her hair because my hair is coarse and I love that natural full look!
Thanks for the pictures, MJ. You’re right, 4got. Carrie, Jason and Kristy all look great. Archie and Syesha look good too. Cookie and Brooke, WTH were you wearing, and why?
I’m excited for the show. I hope that the group number at the event wasn’t as cheesy as the ones on elimination night. Can’t wait to see the show. Can’t wait to see Brad Pitt. *sigh*
The idols this season sung so many Heart songs, I’m not surprised that they will be on the show.
Yes, WTF is Brooke wearing?
Carrie’s dress minus the train reminds me of a bridesmaids dress. I like the color though.
And I’m likin’ the pic of our boyfriend in all white!! It looks like they not only get a song with dancers, but a song with a choir too (note the girl with the blue choir robe in the background of that pic). Last year, I think they were in those all white suits for the whole show. Yikes.
Adam Levine’s got a bit of a fro’ going on.
And Mariah Carey looks really beautiful in that pic.
Wow! Carrie Underwood looks fantastic!
Looks like David Cook is in front of a choir.
He’ll probably blow us away again.
The judges looked all sparkly and shiny, just mahvelous. Brooke is too thin. The outfit horrendous. Michael’s jacket a bit smallish. Reminds me of the pop school reference in season 5. He can get away with it cause he’s so darn cute.
ETA:
From the NY Times article
“Sometimes celebrity or entertainment-industry-based charities might not be the most sophisticated organizations in distributing the money they raise,” said Dr. Irwin Redlener, the president and a co-founder, with the musician Paul Simon, of the Children’s Health Fund. “But the ‘American Idol’ group got up to speed more rapidly than I’ve ever seen before. And they did a tremendous amount of investigation and due diligence among the organizations that could be potential recipients.”
We might be suspicious of everything but the article isn’t alleging anything nefarious. And seriously it takes a bit of due deligence to make the correct decisions and make the most impact.
Jason…YYUUUMMMMM
Annie Lenox…Class
Mariah…Sweet (who knew?)
MJ…Migraine?
I like how David Cook looks. He’s got great style! Where is Carly? And Brooke’s outfit definitely is a “what?” I thought since it was the first picture in the group that they would all be in them, cause otherwise who would choose it?
BTW- it looks like Travis from So You Think You Can Dance behind Brooke, so it looks like the kids from that show get to be involved this year. I love that show, so I’m excited!
I love Annie Lennox, but last year’s IGB performance was the worst of the worst of the worst. I was truly embarassed for her. Here’s hoping her performance this year brings back the real Annie Lennox.
Getty also has pictures of everyone else in their white outfits. MJ and Jason are looking quite pretty
^getty also has new ones of teri hatcher singing “before he cheats” with carrie, and carrie doing some sort of skit with james denton….looks like it could be all sorts of fun for wednesday night!
Brook -hair is great outfit this is not as good ,it is too casual .
David Cook-all white not great and you look like you need a laxative pronto.
MJ-jacket is too short but maybe that is in ..
re-not thrilled about the all white outfits unless it is church production and thir playing angles..
Are there enough pictures of Miley Cyrus in those Getty pictures? Geez, was anyone else there?
Hey mj, how come you don’t post the hottest pic of Michael all in white?
Please post this… I am drooling here. Heh.
Here it goes:

The problem is that I don’t know how to get the pic in a larger size.
Can someone help me? I would appreciate it. Thanks!
Hmm, I see white suits and a gospel choir in the back. Maybe my prediction of the idols singing “I Am Your Brother” is right.
I agree, jesey! What is up with all the Miley pics?????????
LOL Bee… maybe so!
Never mind. I just found it!
Hot Aussie!

Why does MJ has to be so cute? Please tell me.
Am I the only one who’s noticed that MJ’s little reddish leather jacket looks exactly like the one Sanjaya wore for his “Bathwater” performance last year? It’s so small on MJ, I wonder if it’s the same one. : )
All the boys look great in their white suits.
I just posted MJ’s photo with his white suit because it was not posted above.
He looks amazing with the white outfit.
The red leather jacket is the one he wore for the Top 12 photo shoot. It’s short, but that’s the style. It looks good on him. Heck everything looks good on MJ. JMHO.
Thanks mj… Appreciate the updates.
Hot Aussie, indeed! What a great pic!
Can’t wait to hear the Wilson sisters!!!!
Oh yes, almost forgot…….Michael J - WOW!
