This is it, everybody. The final chance for the two finalists to put on their best puppy-dog faces and plead for our votes. For their final performances Scotty and Lauren had to sing their favorite song from a previous performance, a song by their own idols, and what will be their first single if they win. Both contestants did well, and Jennifer wore a dress that looked like it was stolen from Charo?s closet.

The Good:

  • Lauren?s rendition of ?Maybe It Was Memphis.? Granted, it was a little cheesy, but something about her raspy belting and puffy Dolly Parton dress made me smile.
  • Scotty?s performance of ?Check Yes or No.? Again, it was super-schmaltzy, but it?s the type of song he?s meant to sing, and in that sense it highlighted his strengths perfectly.

The Bad:

  • Lauren?s final song about how great her mom is. I suppose it was sweet and all, but definitely not first single material. I also thought it was a bit overboard with the emotions, but that might be because I have no soul.
  • Scotty?s single, ?I Love You This Big.? BOOOOOORING!

Best Quotes:

  • ?How do you feel about the last Oprah?? ? Ryan awkwardly trying to fill time while Taio Cruz takes the stage.
  • ?It was everything it needed to be and you sang it the way you needed to.? ? Jennifer (Bold statement there. Way to take a stand!)

Elimination Prediction:

At this point I think Scotty still has a slight lead, but Lauren is right behind him, so really at this point it could be either of them. Tomorrow should be interesting!

Rating: 7/10
