Thanks. Well described. You are busy today unearthing these nuggets on Lauren and Scotty.
GR8 articles ~ thanks!
Interesting comments at bottom.
Seems folks either really, really like and support him ... or not, with a passion.
I almost H8 to see one or the other win. I like them BOTH so much.
Hope they hang on to their trademark humility.
When Scotty broke down in the limo it was heart wrenching.
Their lives will never be the same.
Fame is so fickle, well spent by too few.
This year the top 2 both get recording contracts so in a way they both have already won.
Can’t you just picture Scotty shaking the Kindergarten teacher’s hand and introducing himself! lol
I wish they could leak some Bye Bye Birdie vids. I’d like to see him singing some of that!
Both? All this time watching Idol, never realized that. Duh!
Good to hear.
This is the first season that they both get contracts. The winner will get some sort of extra perks (I think), though I don’t know what they are.
What I would like to know is who are they going to get as guest on the finale? Every other year they had guests that reflected the finalists. With all the pop garbage that they have forced on us so far this year I hope they do not continue in that vein.
First season? Um Kay .. don’t feel QUITE so dumb! lol
Pop garbage - no kidding.

Priceless comment on the teacher. I’m sure someday we will see the vid as he should be around for awhile.
Haley wasted no time taping her single:

Short article, but long on how many times it describes Haley’s “shocking” elimination.
Yeah, I saw something about how she might perform her new single during the finale.
Oh goody, Bono and The Edge may perform at the finale too. I guess with no begathon they need to get his obligatory performance in somehow. /s
Thanks for posting those articles! They just confirm what nice kids Scotty and Lauren are!
Hey Jonny! Will likely be absent tonight-book club meeting...so I’ll catch up after on this thread. I’ll be here tomorrow for the results show though!
But we'll expect you to be here tomorrow night, young lady :)
Thanks,We would have forgotten.
I would love to see this performance! I can just imagine what fun he must have had doing this!
His performance was a revelation to many who hadn't heard Scotty sing yet, Garner High Principal Drew Cook said.
"My wife ... looked over at me and said, 'Who in the world is that?'" Cook recalled.
That's the same reaction I had when I first heard him sing at the try outs. I still can't believe he's only 17-18. He really has a lot of poise for someone so young, so much so that you tend to forget his age.
I'm really looking forward to the finals this year as I like both Scotty and Lauren and the actual winner makes no difference to me.
I really love that it's a 'country idol' finale, even though I liked James as well and thought tonight would be featuring Scotty vs James.
Thanks for letting me pop in with my opinion. I don't post on the thread because, being in CA, it's never been as much fun if I'm not talking live with ya'll. I'm an avid Idol fan, though, that hasn't missed a season ever! :)
They’re both already winners. Two of the nicest youngsters to ever grace this competition. :-)
You’d have to think that somewhere, someone took videos of that performance and that we could somehow get to see him sing in that play!
They are both so likable. :)
