Ok, so the opening number was made of even more awesome than I could've ever anticipated. Was that Blake and Nick and Travis on stage twirling and twirling and twirling? And Donnie throwing down with the African dance? With S1 Ashle? Even Lauren couldn't ruin it (although why with the constant mugging still? Why?) And there was Hawk and breakdancer Ashley! And Dmitri and Pasha on the same stage!!! (So scorching hot that I didn't even twig to who the girl was.) And Schwimmer siblings swing dancing! The SYTYCD kids were so awesome they even made the AI kids sing better. (Jason Castro shocked the hell out of me and Michael and Syesha have never sounded better).
Made. Of. Awesome.
OMG, you scared me, Kat, thinking that maybe SYTYCD started tonight! Whew!! (Wouldn't want it to overlap with ANTM, see...even though I think my favorites are all gone, already)
Sorry. Should've tagged it. But I was just waaaay too excited! And they will be back to dance again. May is too far away. Shoot.
The rest of Idol Gives Back is predictably treacly and forced, though. No one wants to see Billy Crystal and Miley Cyrus do forced banter.
OMG, you scared me, Kat, thinking that maybe SYTYCD started tonight! Whew!!
I thought the exact same thing!
Band From TV is kind of cute. They should introduce everyone! I saw Chase from House, and Greg Grunberg, and the guy from Desperate Housewives, but they didn't linger long enough on anyone else for me to figure out who they are.
Crap! I didn't realize this started at 6:30 so I missed the opening! I hope they dance some more!
OMG, I am lusting after Fergie's outfit. (Although, really, where would I wear skintight black rubber pants?) She looked amazing (and I am normally not a fan). She can really sing so it's sad that I mostly find her a little bit tragic.
Yeah, Fergie really can sing! Who'da thunk? And Heart! Oh, I love Heart. Awesome early girl!rockers.

Oh, I don't know. Madison, WI, maybe late June?
Don't I wish, brenda.
So, Annie Lennox totally made me teary. And then she schooled these AI whipersnappers in the art of singing. DIVA!
Jimmy Kimmel talking about Simon's nipples = awkward. This is a family show, y'all.
Someone was soooo off in that opening to Seasons of Love. And it continues. Dang, it's painful.
