Idol Chatter & Voice Views

The Recording Academy and Clive Davis hosted the annual Pre-Grammy Gala Saturday night.

The event featured performances by Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and others. And plenty of the folks we’ll see again tonight at the 52nd annual Grammys turned out.

The photos below were provided by The Associated Press.

Check back tonight. I’ll be posting photos from the Grammy red carpet and the awards ceremony itself as they become available … focusing on Idols, of course, but including many others as well.

Enjoy.
