American Idol Top 2 Finalists Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina's Funny, yet Pious, Extra Interview
American Idol Top 2 finalists Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina ~ The Prom King and Queen of Idol ~ talk to Extra following the Final 3 Showdown Results Show that placed them in the Season 10 Finale. These kids are very funny together and show off their great chemistry while being interviewed about how it feels to be in the Final 2. Anyone who has doubted the rumors of Scotty and Lauren dating only has to see the way Lauren looks at Scotty so adoringly. She's smitten! Scotty gives Lauren a few of those googly-eyed looks too, so if they're not dating yet - there's obviously a mutual crush happening - they'll start after the stress of the show ends. Religion, along with their Southern roots, is something that has brought these two young contestants closer. "We pray a lot together at the shows. That helps both of us," says Lauren. They tell each other, "Pray for me. Lord help us, Jesus." "He's the reason we're here," adds Scotty. "I have always loved Scotty because he knows that," says Lauren. "I always knew Scotty was going to be in the Top 2."
"Idol has gone minor-Country," jokes Scotty after the interviewer mentioned that neither Lauren nor Scotty were legal yet. "I have a feeling it's going to be a big Country finale, since we're both Country," giggles sweet, innocent Lauren.
Lauren says her Homecoming was the best day of her life. And Idol playing the footage of their hometown visits "reminded us it wasn't a dream," added Scotty.
The finalists talk about working with celebrity guest mentor Beyonce, saying, "She has a little bit of Country Soul in her."

Why Haley Reinhart's Original Song was Cut from the American Idol Finale
While we loved seeing Haley Reinhart “Steppin’ Out” with Tony Bennett during the American Idol finale, we were more excited for our little pony’s first original song, which her parents promised we’d hear that night. But as we were treated with Beyonce performances, Gaga-vision, and a look back at Steven Tyler-isms, we began to wonder how Idol would fit everything in.
It turns out, two hours simply isn’t enough time for Top 13 reunion songs, judges’ hip shakings, and celeb cameos. In fact, as Haley explained to The Hollywood Reporter, it was one of the uber-famous who took over the spot that was originally given to the growly girl for her new single. “That was going to happen. And then Bono came in and it was taken away,” says Haley.
Et tu, Bono? The U2 singer, along with The Edge and Reeve Carney, brought Broadway to the Idol stage (didn’t Simon Cowell always warn against that?) when they performed “Rise Above 1” from Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. The superhero-themed musical is having myriad problems, and even J.Lo wasn’t keen on kissing the masked crusader during the finale.
Now that Haley’s original song doesn’t have the benefit of an Idol audience debut, its fate is in peril. “They had said that it was going to happen,” explains Haley, “and like everything else in this business, it’s all subject to change. I was excited about it, but then again, I think I'd like to wait and come up with something that's very me. Everything happens for a reason, so it's all good.” Way to take it in stride, Growlylocks.
American Idol finales are typically star-studded spectacles, and they always try to cram in the maximum amount of show-stopping performances, but swapping Haley’s potential hit for an established singer’s lackluster project just strikes us as bad form. What do you think? Should producers have kept or cut Haley’s original song?

American Idol's Haley Reinhart Sings “What is and What Should Never Be” on the Final 3 Showdown
American Idol Season 10's Fearless Haley Reinhart 'gets the Led out' with “What is and What Should Never Be” by Led Zeppelin as her 'Personal Choice' song on the Final 3 Showdown.
Tonight the Idols will sing three songs each, and the guest celebrity mentor is Beyonce. Beyonce says this Led Zeppelin song shows Haley's "guts, strength and fearlessness. She’s a risk taker for not picking a Pop song or something everyone knows. She has conviction. It makes you believe in what she believes in. Which is a huge part of being a Super Star. I think Haley is a Rock Star. Haley has a presence." Beyonce loves the warmth and natural raspiness in Haley's voice. Haley says she’s "grown up around Classic Rock, and my parents are in a band together." Haley's dad is going to join her onstage, playing guitar!
Haley looks fantastic! She starts the song at the top of the stairs and struts down, showing all her confidence. Haley growls and wails, and shows off her whole range. She takes command of the stage and has the audience on it's feet. Haley is definitely a Rock Star tonight! Haley takes a spill on the stairs, and gets up without missing a beat...a consummate professional! She ends the song with a bang...glorious, luminous vocals. The strongest performance so far. The audience goes wild, and Randy Jackson and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler are on their feet. Huge standing ovation. Round One HALEY REINHART!!! No one is going to remember the first two performances after Haley slayed it like that. Haley has had her moment!
Randy yells, "This is what it’s all about! I love the fact that this girl is slaying it. You’re fearless. This is like crazy vocals. Got your father on stage. One of your best performances EVER! CRAZY CRAZY! HALEY’S IN IT TO WIN IT!" Steven Tyler asks, "Did you fall for me? It's not about how many times you fall, but how many times you get up. That was superb. That was just so so good." Randy said, "I thought the fall was planned!"
Jlo praised, "Everybody's fallen onstage. You gotta keep going. That’s a sign of a professional. That's the sign of someone who knows what they're doing. These people deserve more than that, and you gave it to them. It was a really tough song, you sang it reallly, really great. It was a good good round for you."

American Idol's Lauren Alaina Gets Wild with “Wild One” on the Final 3 Showdown
American Idol Season 10's Southern Sweetie Lauren Alaina gets a little wild with “Wild One” by Faith Hill as her 'Personal Choice' song on the Final 3 Showdown.
Tonight the Idols will sing three songs each, and the guest celebrity mentor is Beyonce (who, surprise, surprise, has a new album coming out ~ like everyone else on the show!). "I enjoy Lauren mostly when it's something fun, because I feel like it loosens her up," says Beyonce. Beyonce tells Lauren that's she's nervous on stage too, and that she's "created a character for myself when I perform, because in real life, I'm like (she shivers in fear). Right before I go onstage, I tell myself, "I deserve it. I'm strong. I'm a Diva." And I would encourage you to do the same, cuz it works for me."
Lauren struts out on the stage, channeling her inner Diva. She's looking very confident and happy. Lauren looks great from the neck up, neck down...ouch! (Please, please, please!!! Never tuck leggings into big, white plastic-looking boots. The Oompa-Loompa look is NOT attractive!) Lauren owns the stage, interacting with the musicians and having fun. But, "Wild One" is not a great showcase for Lauren's huge vocals. Her voice is so warm and luminous in many songs. The crowd likes it, but none of the three judges applauded Lauren.
Jennifer Lopez started the critique with, "Lauren, our little baby. You come out here, and you attack it like that, and that's what you gotta do, cuz at this point everybody's going to come out here and be singing great. So every time we come out, we gotta create a moment. And that's exactly what you gotta do, you gotta attack it like that every single time. That was very good."
Randy Jackson said, "I love the advice Beyonce was giving you, about how to psych yourself out when you come out, because that's what it takes. I love seeing you having fun. When we first saw you, with you and Steven singing to each other, that fearlessness, that's the thing you gotta have. I think that was a nice song choice for you. And I could that in your heart you were loving it, and had such a connection with it. Have a good time and have fun. When you let yourself go, you're at your best. Very nice."
Steven Tyler purred, "OOOOH Lauren, you were having fun when we met back then, you’re having fun now. I love the way you were singing tonight. You were singing like you owned the song. There was a moment you shined, and it wasn't even the chorus. You’re so ready for this. You’re ready for America to be all over you." (Yuck! The look in his eyes said "I'm so ready to be all over you!" That was....creepy.)
