The show starts off with home video footage of Lauren (at age 10) and Scotty (at age 8). Lauren was singing. Scotty was doing some sort of skit. He said "Pwease welcome Amewican Idol ..." echo, echo ...

Huge finale crowd.

Seacrest asks Lauren about a rumor that she had lost her voice.

Lauren says she's fine. Her voice sounds okay.

Seacrest waves the Dr. onto the stage.

Official Idol Doctor: Lauren was really pushing it out (during rehearsal). Blew out one of her vocal chords. We gave her a lot of medicine. She's gonna do great. (audience cheers)
