So by now everyone has seen or at least hard about the drama that went down onstage between Taylor Swift and Kanye West at MTV's Video Music Awards this evening. Obviously, Idol alums had no shortage of opinions on the matter on Twitter. Below is a sampling of what some had to say:LaBelleMusikKanye whaaaattttt! Omg. My heart just fell for that poor girl.

Needless to say, Kanye has lost a lot of respect from people in all sectors of the music industry after tonight's events. And for good reason.

'Idol' odds 'n ends: Kris Allen to sing National Anthem at Game 2 of NBA Finals
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>It was today announced that Kris Allen will sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Game 2 of the Orlando Magic / Los Angeles Lakers series for the 2009 NBA Championship on Sun., June 7. Hopefully things go over better than David Cook's performance during last year's finals.

The season premieres Sat., June 20 at 8 p.m. ET.>Another Season 7 contestant that failed to make the Top 24 (eliminated during "the chair" episode), Cardin McKinney, has been taking her career very seriously. Yesterday, she did a recording session with producer/songwriter Desmond Child, and a montage of the meeting can be viewed below:
Cardin has been hard at work in Nashville, and most recently appeared in music videos for Mat Kearney's single "Closer to Love" and Matt Wertz's single "Everything's Right."
>Diana DeGarmo and Anthony Federov will star in the Oklahoma City production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which will run from July 21-25.

Keeping up with Cardin McKinney
Cardin McKinney was an early favorite to make the Top 24 before the seventh season of American Idol even premiered, but she just missed out on passing the milestone. Instead, the final spot in the Top 12 girls went to Joanne Borgella, who was one of two girls eliminated last week. Below is her audition from Atlanta:
Since audiences learned of McKinney's failure to make the Top 24, she has been busy responding to fans on her MySpace, and compiled a Q&A session in which she answers fans' questions. Below is one question-answer set from her blog:
1. If you could sing a duet with ANYONE, who would it be and why?Fans can also join her fan site: Cardin-McKinney.org.
- Oh dear. Toughie. I'd say, as far as modern-day artists go, I'd def. die to do a thang with Brian McKnight, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Lang or Fiona Apple.. Because a duet means a collaboration of forces, and that means a co-write experience. And that! That would be something fierce!! :)
