As you no doubt saw on Wednesday’s episode of American Idol, the top 11 contestants got all gussied up this week for a glamorous Entertainment Weekly photo shoot celebrating them all making the cut for the show’s big summer tour. In the first of many behind-the-scenes peeks at the shoot, see what the Idols think about their fancy ensembles. Who loves to get dolled up? Who is “always nervous” about being styled? Who picked out a dress once modeled by Kim Kardashian? (Hint: not Paul.) And, most important of all, would James “The Durbs” Durbin go sans tail? All will be revealed in the video clip below! Then check back throughout the next week for additional behind-the-scenes goodies. And for more reality-related ramblings, follow me on Twitter @EWDaltonRoss.








That’s cool that Paul seemed to be providing the entertainment by playing guitar all throughout the shoot. That was a cute clip.
Scotty looks good
There’s something unsettling about this video in the To Catch a Predator sort of way.
I got the same vibe. I’m pretty sure it was unintentional, but when Dalton panned up and down the teens while saying, “Looking good!” I half expected Chris Hansen to walk into the room and offer him some sweet tea.
Yep… maybe Dalton should’ve been about 3 steps back from where he was.
We know you weren’t being creepy on purpose. Just say “organic”, right?
Lauren Alaina, Scotty Mccreery, Pia Tascano James Durbin, were the best last night !!!!
lordy lordy that haley reinhart is all that
Am I crazy or did JLo wear the same dress Pia wore for the photo shoot, but in a different color?
I swear I was sayin da same thing…lol
If it wasn’t the same, it definitely was very similar!
PIA is WOW !!!
I think everyone looks great. I love you, Dalton!
My top 5 favorites are….Haley, Stefano, Lauren, Casey, and its a tie between Pia and Scotty, but i’m not a BIG fan of either…VOTE FOR HALEY:)AND STEFANO:)
