You got THAT right! I was disgusted with what I saw last night. And then the report on TMZ that the Idol producers were scrambling to track down Haley, just in case Lauren was unable to sing for the finale. I'd bet my left buttcheek the whole story was a load of BS, and AI reps put the story out there just to garner sympathy for Lauren. It's clear who they want to win.

Hell, ALL season the judges have avoided giving Lauren any kind of meaningful criticism. IMO, that's the ONLY reason she made it to the finale.

And her "AW SHUCKS" southern belle schtick REALLY bugs the SHIT out of me!
