Gwen and P!nk Cut From "Idol Gives Back"

Posted Apr 26th 2007 2:42PM by TMZ Staff

While no contestants were eliminated on "American Idol" last night, two other singers were -- Gwen Stefani and P!nk!
Gwen Stefani and Pink
Last night's "A.I." charity benefit concert, "Idol Gives Back," included performances by Kelly Clarkson, Josh Groban -- even a pre-taped-from-the-crypt Celine Dion/Elvis Presley duet -- which TMZ exclusively revealed on Monday. But Gwen and P!nk -- who had been previously announced as participants -- failed to get any screen time! Oh no they dit'nt!

Both Gwen and P!nk had pre-taped their performances, so their appearances just needed to be edited into the "live" telecast. Sources tell TMZ that the lovely ladies were "cut for time," and their segments should air on upcoming episodes of "Idol."

Well, thank God they found time for that idiotic "Stayin' Alive" montage and Il Divo!

4. THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE HIGHLIGHTS. THEY WOULD HAVE PUT SOME SPUNK INTO OTHER BLA PERFORMANCES. I LOVE KELLY CLARKSON, BUT HER PERFORMANCE WAS BORING, SO WAS ANNIE LENNOX, JOSH BROGON AND IL DIVO. I KNOW IT WAS A SERIOUS MATTER, BUT DID THE PERFORMANCES HAVE TO BE SOOOOOOO SOMBER???? PUT ME TO SLEEP..

5. I could have done without Il Divo. However, the "staying alive' thing was sort of cute. Helen Mirren was great. Why was Harvey Weinstein in there and how old is Goldie Hawn anyway?

6. who cares who got perform, the point is they raised $30 million.

7. Since when did Il Divo qualify as a pop act? This is almost as absurd as Pavarotti duetting with Bono.

8. I love the pic you guys chose for Gwen! lmao Anyway, I wish that had of played those two artists instead of wasting time in other areas of the show. They could have easily cut some chatter and had enough time to put these ladies in. I could have lived with Ben Stiller over-kill comedy. It was kind of cute, but it just took way too much time. Ryan's chatter too could have been cut down. I could have lived without seeing Carrie Underwood PRETENDING to be a nice person... Carrie has a reputation as a rude diva with fans and industry people. She's even said herself that she's a bitch. Every since she got that third nipple removed she's been hell on wheels I guess.

9. The View is now a dead show. Proof will be how quickly the ratings drop once Rosie is gone. Then watch how huge they will be when people know she will be on as a guest host!!!

Love her, she is simply the best there is today. The show today Thursday, was great, she was so upbeat and happy. She is intelligent, honest, courageous, articulate and funny, naturally funny. Love Love Her. I will no longer watch the View now that Rosie will not be on. Watching an old lady, like Barbara who is as good as who gets her last, a too young and inexperienced girl like Elizabeth who sounds like a high pitched irritating machine gun when she starts on her rants. And, well, poor Joy I like her, but she is a has been. Sorry guys, but...................like Rosie, I call em like I see em!!!!

10. What's wrong with Il Divo? They are fantastic and handsome!

11. The REASON for Il Divo is simple: they put Cowell's music career on the map!!! The whole show was a nepotistic endeavor.

12. Of course II Divo was on. They are owned by Simon Cowell.... DUH! Personally, I like Gwen and P!nk. Opnions are like assholes, everyone has one.

14. I'm a fan of Gwen but she was on the show for two nights, just a couple of weeks ago. Pink would have been ok but I didn't miss her. I would imagine II Divo was there to get a wider audience, thus more money for donations. It's not my type of music but I can see why they did it. And as for the "Stayin' Alive" video, I thought it was really cool. I liked it so much I downloaded it at iTunes. And the average rating there for the video is 4 1/2 stars out of 5 so I'm not the only one who liked it.

Lastly, it's all for a charity so how can we be so critical. I doubt many people who performed got paid. Anyways, that's my 2 cents.

15. The show has it's good points, but the worst was it's "prank" on Jordin. I cannot believe someone authorized that to happen. Put the "shoe on the other foot" Ryan, judges, producers....how would you feel? I hope she recovers and WINS the whole thing. That was absolutely the rudest, most atrocious thing I've seen in a long time.
