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.
Hey everyone... I really enjoyed last night’s show. Lauren and Scotty - either’s fine with me, although I’m leaning Scotty. He’s quality.
