Well, do we still have Hollywood week? ;)

[retrokitten]

True. LOL

[rabidralph]

Here you go.

[twin2]

15???

[retrokitten]

Is it just me or is Jlo’s makeup a little odd this episode? It reminds me of an actual Barbie doll.

Amazing voice! She didn’t need a sob story to make it to Hollywood!

[Lil'freeper]

Now that you mentioned it. I think it's the fake lashes.

[CASchack]

Does it seem like they are putting through many more people to Hollywood this year?

[retrokitten]

Yeah, she looks quite a bit older then 15. Her parents don’t look old enough to have a teenager.

She was good, but didn’t live up the hype of a few minutes ago. lol

[freedumb2003]

I wanted to not like her very much, but she has a lovely voice (if untrained).

I don’t think she will go that far but she is 15, so she has a great career ahead of her.

[LA Woman3]

This girl is my favorite so far! Reminds me of Kelly!!

[retrokitten]

Yeah, they put through something like 325 people though. I think normally they put through about 100-150ish.

Let’s put it this way. One of the producers is monitoring this thread and put me through to Hollywood.

I thought she had a decent voice but needs some work on the phrasing...liked her “duet” with Steven! :)

[Shelayne]

Oh, she is adorable! Love her!

[RummyChick]

I am sure it was a huge thrill for those parents to have her sing their song with Tyler.

[rabidralph]

LOL! Chicken Girl! Tyler was taking notes.

A pretty 15 year old Georgia girl named Lauren Alaina. She wants to try Idol for her cousin Holly. They were raised like sisters.

A couple years ago, Holly was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After chemo, Holly survives and recovers--Lauren always by her side. It was Holly who urged her cousin to audition.

She blows the judges away. (If Lauren doesn't make it to the Top 12, I'll be surprised.)

After she gets the Golden Ticket, Lauren and Holly return to the audition room with their whole family. Lauren sings a duet of "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" with Steven. Very nice moment.

And that's all for Nashville!
