The Idol Blogosphere is buzzing over the rumors that Lauren Alaina and newly crowned American Idol Scotty McCreery are dating after she planted a big kiss on him at the finale. ETonline caught up with the two of them after the show to set the record straight. But did they? Check out what the two of them had to say and video of the kiss:
In an interview just moments after the on-stage kiss, Samantha questioned Lauren about her surprising show of intimacy during the finale, and Lauren did not deny a relationship with Scotty, rather she very coyly, and with a devilish look in her eyes responded that “he might be my boyfriend…ask him.”
And so we did.
In reply, and with a great big smile on his face, Scotty tells ET that he is “still single” and definitely not in a romantic relationship with Lauren. He says they’ve “gotten really close, but I don’t know about the more than friends stuff.”
Looks to me like Lauren is trying to work the press and the rumor mill. It also kind of looks like she just grabs his face for a smooch amidst all the excitement.
Scotty McCreery got a surprise visit from his own Idol Josh Turner! Josh turned up to surprise Scotty on stage and duet on the song that made him famous this year on American Idol.
Baby lock them doors…
See the video here:
Contestants performed Songs That Inspire Them and Songs of Lieber and Stoller. Lady Gaga was the mentor. Who do you think will go home tomorrow night?
James- Don’t Stop Believing and Love Potion Number 9
Haley: The Earth Song and I Who Have Nothing
Scotty: Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning and Young Blood
Lauren: Anyway and Trouble
E News is reporting that James Durbin is tackling one of the most beloved karaoke songs in the country tonight on Idol. Contestants are rumored to be singing two songs and James’ choice would fuel the rumor that two themes will be used. The first theme being the songs of Leiber and Stoller. Lady Gaga is the guest mentor.
What did James pick? Find out here:
Don’t Stop Believing by Journey! The song skyrocketed to new depths of fame last year when it became the anthem of Glee.
E! News has exclusively learned that Durbin will perform Journey‘s “Don’t Stop Believin'” tomorrow and sources tell us the 22-year-old smallish-town boy (born and raised in…Santa Cruz, Calif.!) has crafted a “mind-blowing” version of the 1981 classic.
What do you think of this choice? Any ideas what his second song choice may be? No news on the other contestants yet but if you could pick their song, what would you pick?
