Last night was the premiere of Michael Jackson’s documentary, This Is It, which was made in memory of the late King of Pop and features some footage of the tour that MJ was working on before he passed away over the summer.
Season 8 runner-up, Adam Lambert was in attendance as well and dressed in all black on the red carpet. Glambert also posed for pictures with pop singer, Katy Perry. This Is It opens in theatres today and will only run for two weeks, so if you’re interested in seeing it, head on over soon. Will any of you guys …read more

The outpour of support from celebrities last night was unbelievable as they attended the world premiere of Michael Jackson’s documentary, This Is It. Those who attended the event were Paris Hilton, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Will Smith, Ashley Tisdale, Adam Lambert, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez and many more including American Idol’s former judge, Paula Abdul.
Paula was looking pretty on the red carpet as she arrived wearing a long blue dress and bright pink pumps. You guys liking Paula’s outfit?

Former American Idol finalist, Jennifer Hudson, was accompanied by a choir as she took the stage today at the memorial service for Michael Jackson.  It was a powerful and touching moment and I had held it together pretty well until the very end when they played Michael’s speaking part from the song.

I noticed that the heavily pregnant Jennifer looked up several times during the performance and I’m sure she could relate to the pain the Jackson family felt since she lost her own family last October.
Watch the moving musical tribute:

During the results show of So You Think You Can Dance, it was announced that the Top 13 American Idol performances during “Michael Jackson Week” would be rebroadcast by Fox this Monday at 8pm to honor the artist who tragically died yesterday.

Here’s a list of the performances.  Do you remember which ones you liked the most/least?  I think the encore of this episode is a really nice tribute to Michael Jackson’s career.

I was absolutely stunned to learn that Alexis Grace chose to sing “Dirty Diana” but, in the end, I think it was a decent song choice.  She was able to adapt it to a female voice and turned it into a sassy little number. 
How short were those shorts!?  Both Kara and Paula liked it, though Paula warned her not to oversing but Simon kept it real by telling her that it might not have been as good as she thought.

We’re finally where we wanted to be folks. It’s down to the Final 12 for Season 6 of American Idol. This is my preferred portion of the show because I like each singer having the opportunity to have a little bit more stage time. I also like the theme nights and the special guest judges that usually bring in. Quick introductions of the Final 12 and our judges and their brief intros. Tonight the theme and celebration is for Diana Ross. I believe this choice will directly benefit a couple of the contestants specifically.
