JLo is being kind, she messed up the lyrics.

[Palladin]

She sounds good and looks good.

[Netizen]

Unchained melody?

[retrokitten]

Wow really haunting lyrics.

[floriduh voter]

Randy said she missed a modulation but she worked it out.

[LA Woman3]

Lauren has been my favorite from the beginning. All 3 will do well though!

[floriduh voter]

Word up to AI: If the song’s too high, transpose the music.

[kjam22]

It’s probably good that Simon isn’t sitting there :)

[VampireStateNY]

They better hurry up. The world ends Saturday, dontchaknow. It's just my luck the world is ending on my birthday! Couldn't they hold it off another 24 hours?

[floriduh voter]

Simon will be beating people up on X-Factor.

[retrokitten]

IMO, most people wouldn’t have just thought she skipped a word missed an entrance or something, but, man, they wouldn’t let it go!

[Palladin]

I don’t like songs about people dying young. There’s too much of that in real life these days.

I hope her next song is a happy one.

[floriduh voter]

I’ve watched The Voice when I remember and the contestants don’t get to pick their songs at all. The mentors do. They send more than one home every show.

[Shelayne]

Yeah, I think Jesus has some words for false prophets.

Camping should be looking around for lightning bolts.

Lauren Alaina

They show her entire audition too. I believe that's the best audition they've ever had. Really cute.

Iovine's choice for Lauren is "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry. Excellent pick. Iovine clearly has a better ear for songs than Clive Davis.

J-Lo: You Lauren have the most beautiful tone of our finalist. Magical thing that you possess. Got caught up in yourself, caught up in the honesty (she got lost somewhere in the song, they say, but I didn't hear anything go wrong)

Randy: Thats' what it takes to be a live performer and be great. (recover and keep going) You do have a beautiful tone. Beautiful song choice. You are definitely in it to win it too.

Steven: Beautiful song and a beautiful voice and nailed it again.

Seacrest asks Lauren what happened.

Lauren:I missed my cue change, dang. (gives a aw shucks arm-hook)

She could win on personality alone.

[LA Woman3]

Anyone voting like ACORN tonight? It’s legal on AI! : )

[floriduh voter]

Guess I’ll sleep in Saturday and put the covers over my head.

[MagUSNRET]

I am doing a few deep cleansing breaths.......I hear from my brother MAYBE once a year...and he calls tonight so I missed Scottys and Laurens number 2 songs......It was at that moment that I took a deep breath...and remembered....this is a freakin TV show...and I talked to my brother.....all the while...tapping my foot, I hasten to add (I think I need an intervention) ;-)

[Lil'freeper]

I just wish I had dreamed up a business venture to help them spend their life savings...
