Lauren Alaina is up next  on "American Idol" and she's singing "Flat on the Floor." Totally channeling Carrie Underwood. She's got good energy, some swinging attitude. 

It's a smart pick. Her voice is definitely affected on the high end and she's trying to make up for it with pure energy. It's fun but again, nothing amazing. She finishes with a foot stomp on stage.

Does get Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez to stand up. But again, there is no judging. So I'll give round one to Lauren. She was at least interesting to watch. Scotty did what he always does.
