The youngest American Idol match up took place Tuesday May 24 when 16-year old Lauren Alaina and 17-year old Scotty McCreery went country head-to-country head for the Idol crown.
Lauren blew out her vocal chords during rehearsals today but after the coaches drugged her up, she said she was ready to sing. Scotty won the coin toss and like the gentleman that he is, he deferred to Lauren. Lauren chose to go second.
Favorite Song of the Season Round:
Lauren chose to re-sing Flat on the Floor. Her voice did not sound any worse for the wear. She strutted down the stairs confidently shaking her hips and was full of sass. Watch her performance video below:
Celebrity Pick Round:
Lauren’s personal idol, Carrie Underwood, picked Maybe It Was Memphis for Lauren to sing. Carrie picked a great song for Lauren to showcase her voice. Watch her performance video below:
Finalists’ Singles Round:
Should Lauren win, her first single will be Like My Mother Does. During the performance, Ryan Seacrest escorted Alaina to her mother in the audience. The performance received a huge standing ovation from the audience and I am sure it will pull at the heartstrings of every mother watching at home to vote for Lauren.
