Randy Jackson: “I love seeing you having fun. That was a nice song choice for you and I could tell you had a connection with it. When you let yourself go, that’s when you’re at your best.”
Lauren’s second song, chosen for her by Jimmy Iovine, was If I Die Young by the Band Perry. J.Lo told her about a little miss that she had during the song, “You have the most beautiful tone of our finalists…it’s a magical thing. You got caught up in the honesty of what you were creating, and it was beautiful.” Jackson said, “You got such a beautiful tone and it was a great song choice.” Tyler said, “I loved it as well. It’s a beautiful song, you have a beautiful voice and you nailed it again.”

For her last song and as judges’ pick, Lauren sang Lee Ann Womack’s I Hope You Dance. She gave J.Lo the “goosies.” J.Lo said: “That was beautiful, I’m gonna dare to say you won that round for me already.” Jackson said, “You slayed it.” Tyler gushed,”You walked down here like you owned the Grand Ole Opry. You sang that song so perfectly. Lee Ann is a good friend of mine too and she’s so happy!” Watch it for yourself:
