Proud of Lauren for making it through the show! Don’t you know Haley was disappointed!! Either Lauren or Scotty will represent Idol well! (Although I’m cheering for Lauren!)
Enjoyed the Idol thread once again! Thanks Jonny!
I love him, but his guitarist is hot.
Iovine says Lauren single is "Like Mama Said". Wow! This also sounds too good to be an Idol original, but I can't find any matching lyrics. BEAUTIFUL. The song AND Lauren. Dressed in white, long gown. Her mom's in tears. I want to hear this song again.
TOTALLY, COMPLETELY 
Extended standing ovation.
Randy: Wow, wow, wow. Amazing song. Summation of your journey. Great ode to your mom. Love that support. Love how at the end you sang that little Mariah Carey whisper. Lauren Alaina has arrived America! Amazing! Amazing! (gives her a personal standing-0)
J-Lo: You may have just won. That was beautiful. Everything it needed to be. Heart, emotion. Beautiful, beautiful voice.
Steven: First time I saw you I thought you were my American Idol. I think America is going to think that's true too.
Summing up Round 3, Seacrest calls out Scotty again.
Randy: So close. Gotta give a slight edge to Lauren Alaina.
J-Lo: Can't choose. Tight race.
Steven: Sorry, Scotty. Lauren gets it, hands down.
Scotty nods confirmation of this to Lauren. Lauren shakes her head.
But the shows not over just yet.
We have another guest performance--this one by David Cook, he and his band performing of the Breakfast Club theme "Don't You Forget About Me". Images from this season play on the big screen behind him. Plenty of time left in the show. He finishes the whole song.
Great show tonight, minus the unwanted techno performance in the middle.
“Don’t you, don’t you forget about me, peggybac!”
;^)
I have not seen Haley in town. I just jinxed myself.
Its Lauren Alaina by a ruffle.
He sounds great,loved the show.Hope Scotty wins.
Now gotta watch DWTS that I don't vote for cuz I can't dance at all and I hate voting all the time. I admire dancers cuz I sure can't do what they do. But, like I said, I hate voting all the time. I only vote on AI but only some seasons where I like the finalists.
The Match Game.
Two weeks ago rather colorful comment i deserved to be put on double secret probation
Hi, EG! If others hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known the show was on tonight either :)
I can’t watch GLEE...that one tinkerbell is so gay, ha makes my arse hurt...and the lesbian just reminds me I need to go buy hardware at Home Depot.
Found it, Not sure its fair to have one sing an unheard of song and another sing a song that has bee recorded by someone else.

Update: According to Idol Chatter, Carrie Underwood will pick a song for Lauren Alaina and George Strait will choose for Scotty McCreery. No word on what those songs are. A third song will be a favorite performance chosen by Lauren and Scotty. eta: Carrie posted on her fan club message board that the song she chose for Lauren is one she really wanted to sing on the show but never got the chance.

Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina’s coronation singles have LEAKED courtesy of the Taste of Country blog!
Country fans won’t have to wait long to hear Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina on the radio. Both plan to officially release their debut singles on Thursday, May 26, one day after the ‘American Idol‘ winner is announced. Taste of Country was tipped by a source at Universal Music Group, who tells us that McCreery’s song is called ‘Love You This Big’ and Alaina’s is titled ‘Like My Mother Does.’
Both singers will premiere their new singles during this week’s ‘Idol’ performance show on Tuesday, May 24. Our source didn’t provide further details about either teenager’s new music, but added that both performances will be available on iTunes on Tuesday night.
I wonder if country music songwriter, Tim Nichols co-wrote Scotty’s song? He tweeted recently, “American Idol finalist Scotty McCreery recorded one of my songs tonight in L.A.!” Nichols wrote “Live Like You Were Dying” and other songs.
UPDATE: Country artist, Jesse Lee also recorded a version of “Like My Mother Does”. Listen HERE.
Lauren’s single was recorded by Kristy Lee Cook for her ill-fated album, “Why Wait”.
Well, maybe it’s more of a show than a competition and maybe they calculate who will sell the most cds/downloads and they start to Obamacize the outcome. I voted 12 times for Lauren and I’m done. I don’t have OCD about anything on television. I’d just as soon not have tv.
BIBI is on Hannity now...for those interested in seeing a REAL leader!
LMAO, Geraldine should get a role on that show.
OK now switching over to Netanyahu on Hannity!
Back later to read all the clever quips!
LoL
I met a drummer this week and he was super hot. These things happen when I have housework clothes on, messy hair and no makeup. He can look at my makeup on facebook. Just when I think there aren’t any hot guys left.... more than likely, nothing will happen at all but he was hot.
LOL! Hope you had a great day :)
