The former 'American Idol' competitors took the stage together for the first time in 13 years.

Carrie cried, Kelly smiled and Fantasia announced 'I broke my shoe.'

Ruben Studdard first gained fame as 'The Velvet Teddy Bear,' the 2003 winner of 'American Idol.' But despite his gentle demeanor and soulful voice, Studdard was battling a weight problem that had him weighing 462 pounds and recently coping with a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis when he joined 'The Biggest Loser' in its 14th season.

Daughtry has done it, so has previous Idol contestants David Cook, Ruben Studdard and Carrie Underwood - they have all sang the exit song (or vote off song) for American Idol.  Now it's Scotty McCreery's turn!  The current reigning champ of American Idol has recorded an updated version of "Please Remember Me".

It's a compilation cd that is marking American Idol's 10th season on Fox.  It'll be in stores on March 15th but you can pre-order it on the American Idol site now.  The disc will feature the biggest hits from all 9 winners along with some others that have been just as successful.
