I didn’t care for her anyway. Hope they let her go. jmo
Me, too. It was always all about her. Too much self-promotion. And I didn’t appreciate her bump-and-grind act at the end.
American Idol wrapped up its season on Channel 10 in Tempe in May, but the series is already looking ahead to next season with auditions starting soon. However, the Idol for this year, Scotty McCreery is hard at work on his debut album. The Christian Post reported on Friday that McCreery has plans to include one Christian song on his debut album.
McCreery wants to do this to follow in the footsteps of Josh Turner because he has “looked up to him so much.” Josh Turner has had one Christian song on each of his albums, and McCreery would like to do the same. McCreery is hard at work selecting songs for his debut release. Currently, he has help from songwriters such as Rhett Akins and Dallas Davidson sending him material, and he wants that new material to keep coming.

‘American Idol’: Lauren Alaina sprains ankle on tour
On Monday, the singer went on stage to perform with a boot and cane. Lauren Alaina is also still hard at work on her debut album, and the singer recently revealed that she hopes to have her album released as early as September. That would be immediately following the tour.
Good luck to Lauren...hope her ankle heals fast.
Maybe we will see an end to the ridiculous 6 inch heel shoe styles that have been in vogue lately. They are dangerous!
For Idol distribution if you think interesting. xxxooo

I guess we all saw that coming. Jen was advertising her soon-to-be freedom , the way she shook her booty on the final show.
Wouldn’t break my heart if she didn’t return to Idol.
