52nd Annual Grammy Awards wrap-up

It wasn't the best night for Idol alums at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. Although there was only one win by an Idol alum (Carrie Underwood's "I Told You So" duet with Randy Travis for the "Best Country Collaboration With Vocals" category), there was a nice showing by Carrie and Jennifer Hudson in the 3D tribute to Michael Jackson in which they sang "Earth Song" alongside Celine Dion, Usher and Smokey Robinson. Watch the performance below (and beware: you won't see much if you don't have those ridiculous 3D glasses):



As for my predictions, I went 2-5. I'm still in disbelief that Taylor Swift's "White Horse" beat out Carrie's "Just a Dream" in the "Best Female Country Vocal Performance" category. That's tragic.

Aside from the boring show itself, there were a ton of alums to go around actually at the show, many of whom appeared on the red carpet. As usual, Ryan Seacrest was on hand to do red carpet coverage for E in addition to presenting. He caught up with many including Carrie, Jennifer and Kara DioGuardi. Also in attendance was Adam Lambert, who got roasted Stephen Colbert at the beginning of the night.

All in all a very Idol-deserted affair.
