[SuperBrayDawg]

[ButteWhat]

[8484carito]

La voz de esta jovencita me llega a lo más profundo del alma. Es increíble

[sherenbabie]

[dangilbert26]

Verrrryyyy nice performance!!!!!

[Engineer245]

For the people who voted for her singing abilities this gal did win did win ! ! ! The teenie bobbers wqho voted for other reasons may have made it look like she did not win but Lauren is the TRUE winner of the popular singing vote ! ! ! This is a singing competition and not America's got talent where a frog can win by jumping higher than the dog !

[TayandKell14]

GOSH I LOVVE HER VOICE! SHE IS SOO BEAUTIFUL!

[sportzbaby16]

When she sang to her mom it was so beautiful made me wanna cry! <3

[lizziebug0829]

I love Scotty but this makes my heart skip a beat

[Engineer245]

I cryed when they the news said Lauren had lost her voice for the past show and that they were calling Hayley to sing. I just lost it ! Never felt this way about a singer before. She is the sweatest and truest singer I ever heard. I love her singing so much. You go Lauren !

[Engineer245]

I gave Lauren every vote AI would let me give. I votd until they cut me off. A lot of work but this Lauren is worth it. Loved the entire year because of Lauren !

[tatsukimoondragon]

This girl gives me chills when she sings. man oh man.

[farahzawawi93]

[BeccaTeamEarth]

Chills

[chocolatelover511]

Luv u lauren I voted 4 u and scotty 50 times every night

[LopeForestLope]

@chocolatelover511 haha I did too! :))

[mrtreyswift]

I'm tired of everyone tearing her up and saying she sucks. She has a good voice, and doesn't deserve that. I'm not gonna say that I'm a HUGE fan of Lauren, but I definitely don't think she sucks. She's trying to do something she's good at and that she loves doing. Stop trying to tell her she shouldn't.

[HollyKalina23]

Hahaha, cute little Ryan in his suit, escorting Lauren down the stairs. :)

[jdog6891]

She sings country 

[TheRedbone56]

Love the song, the sentiments, the voice. We live in a world full of ugliness and pain.Something beautiful and simple,heartfelt and sincere earns the derogatory label of ''corny.'' Maybe it's because negativity has become the norm and our spirits can no longer handle goodness and positiveness. Maybe all the vulgar songs with their swearing and hoes is more to our jaded tastes.

[emilyleann1]

GREAT SONG <3333333

[alyssafay92]

I don't think i can ever watch this and not become teary eyed.

[MADISYNPRESSLEY]

man



[SuperLittlebailey]

this song reminds me of my birth mother. She is my rock and she made me into the person I am today. She is battling cancer right now and it is terminal. I don't know what I would do without her. She has always had faith in me in no matter what I did. I love you momma!!!

[EeyoreLuvR28]

@SuperLittlebailey I'm so very sorry to hear this. I still believe miracles happen, and I hope your mom can be healed. Blessings to you and your mom!

[smm8393]

So much better than Scotty's finale song. She blew him away. I just wish all the 12 year olds had voted for TALENT.

[ThePatchi22]

[JasonLAFan]

[bjchabzroxy]

PS: I love that last falsetto notes that Lauren does. It's so nice... :)

[arialovesyou768]

my mom was in a really bad car wreck, and they didn't know if she was going to make it..I sang this song to her, while she was laying in the hospital bed </3

p.s. she is out of the hospital and doing better!

[steelersbaabe]

[Ignocio5]

[Mindyapel0121]

I still can't believe this performance didn't win it for her!  So beautiful, brought me to tears when she went out and hugged her Mama! <3 She has a great career ahead of her! That is for sure!

[xxitssierraxx]

This song makes me cry and give me the chills.<33 Man, ain't she fantastic. (:

[MsAbigailrose123]

[madarm]

Make a pledge to seek wisdom, to be helpful, respectful, and reliable to those around you, not only for good karma, but to also be a great example of what a person should be to those around you. Be a person of compassion, of motivation, and determination. Set goals for yourself and accomplish them. Go for your dreams, and inspire others to go for their dreams as well. Be, because you can be everything, and anything that you set your mind too. Most importantly, be yourself!

[dfreitas10]

67 people hate their mother...

[TwerdJB14]

what is a Halien???? lolz

[QUARELOSO]

@TwerdJB14 Why u laughin lol The Haliens are The Haleys fans :D i'm one of the Halien Moohahaha..

[TheFungirl77]

Are Lauren and Scotty dating? If so they are a cute a couple.

[MissLovelyPamela]

Fake vevo?

[Smileycamy]

@talyxangel =) ikrr!

[UltimateSith1]

I've said this a thousand times before, but I'll say it again, this is Lauren Alaina at her BEST!!! American Idol does not get better than this for me. Lauren is 80% of the reason I tuned in for each and every episode last season and this performance tells everyone exactly why. She and Scotty both won as far as I'm concerned, but as far as their final performances, Lauren's was the better one IN MY OPINION. This performance is Lauren at her best and Idol doesn't get better than this for me. :)

[Karinaaaa95]

Lauren you are just AMAZING!!!

you and scotty are the best!!

[aerochick24]

@bluestarrynight97 i believe the correct term for Lauren Alaina fans would be Alainers!!!!!!!

[depelated]

She looks like an overstuffed carrot.

[lmcmilla1]

Omg it makes me cry when she goes to hug her mom, shes so sweet

[whatchalookna]

ok, i cried again watching this.

[whatchalookna]

during this performance, i actually cried!!!

[livingjb23]

@whatchalookna hahah me too :)

[themagiclover123]

she and scotty needs to do a duet on this song

[Limegreen0328]

i love the parts from when she says shes my heart shes my soul into after so goes back up the stairs thats my favorite part in this song... but the rest is great to

[TheHeidiBlue]

Imagine when Lauren become a mom n her children sing this to her!♥♥

[xixis7]

a great song that Lauren sings very well. kudos to her!

[21mewhat21]

ugh no way lauren is better than haley reinhart. no way, if you know anything about voice and music you know that haley reinhart is better and deserved to be in the top 2

[JuustLeah]

ah i love Lauren, beautiful girl, beautiful voice

[JohnnyDeppLover246]

I love how ryan helped her up and down the stepsx

[CarolinaQueen518]

Awww you can see Haley in the background in her little glasses when lauren goes down to hug her mom. (: I'm a hardcore halien, but lauren was my second favorite! she sings so good!

[kdthomas98]

I always start crying when she goes and hugs her mom!! 

[bluestarrynight97]

I'm a Halien, but I like listening to Lauren's music too and happened to start skimming through the comments in my spare time. What I read kind of disturbed me. Comments like, "Haliens are all b****es" aren't fair to those of us who aren't. Yes, there are hot-headed, potty-mouthed Haliens out there. There are also hot-headed, potty-mouthed Lauren fans out there, and no one can deny that. The lesson here is: Don't categorize people because of their fandom, since there are exceptions. Like me. :)

[MCrockitoutxoxo]

@bluestarrynight97 well i dont trash haely but i reallt dont like her. at all

[bluestarrynight97]

@sithu04 Well, that's your opinion. Which is fine. But I have my own opinion too and I'm tired of being insulted for it, hence the comment you responded to. And have you seen her cover of "Like a star" on her old youtube channel? It's very good, and she doesn't growl at all that I remember. Maybe it'll change your mind. :)

[milliondollartruth]

Lauren Alaina is one sweet girl and one great country singer.

[brianok01]

i love her soo much. i just wish her EP had a couple different songs. like 'if i die young' instead of 'im the only one' and 'i hope you dance' or 'maybe it was menphis' instead of 'wild one'

[krizelljoy]

how i love this song. Lauren is really my IDOL! love ya!

[Limegreen0328]

i love this song sooo much she did great and shes is beautiful...... hope u get far in the industry...... love u lauren!!!!!!!!!

[TheAllys0313]

Lauren deserved to win! Scotty is an amazing singer but I think Lauren would've gone further than him in the idustry!

[jellybean1937]

Looks like 65 people hate there mothers

[Courtney8396]

i am going to give this song to my mama!!!!! I LOVE YOU MAMA!!!!!!!

[mmspeezybabii]

how can anyone dislike this song....

[jjbeach1968]

Lauren's performances during tour is a clear indication of her growth/maturity and also her confidence has really improved. Once the idol tour is finish and her new album released I believe we will see her at her best.

I agree she is an amazing singer especially for her age. Everytime I hear her I think back to her audition when all of the judges were amazed by her natural talent. I cannot wait to purchase her new cd.

[tinibowl15]

i honor my mom when i hear this song. it is true love. geat

[44softballrox]

lauren u give me goosebumps

[milliondollartruth]

Lauren, you a really great country singer with a huge future ahead of you. You're only problem is self-confidence.

I don't know why because you are one terrific singer.

Don't hold back. You can belt it out like the great Brenda Lee--and that's really saying something.

[lyrijumbachoi520]

i have to say that lauren's original song is better than scotty's.

but scotty totally deserve to win.

[Olynicole1234]

I loved Scotty Haley and Lauren i thought they all oozed with so much talent..the reason haley and lauren fans are so different is because their styles are completely different..Haley is an amazing singer of some powerful and soulful blues whereas lauren is sweet and country, you have to appreciate them for their differences and do not doubt they they both have amazing talent.

[totalblond42]

It is rediculous how everyone picks favorites from idol. and then disses and says rude things about others. I always liked Lauren as well as pia until she got kicked off, but Lauren continued. NOw i never thought Haley was bad, i just wrote a single comment on one of her videos of how she really over used that growl or something about how i dont like that growl in her voice. and i got many rude comments about being a hater, it is just rediculous how people bagg on you because u have an opinion.

[imharmlesstryme]

@totalblond42 Because criticisms are unwarranted in a place where fans of that Idol normally lurks. Say your opinion, but you betcha there'll be a swarm of fans willing to fight you on yours. :)

Just as you bagging on Haley will get you hate comments on Haley's videos, people bagging on Lauren will get hate comments from Lauran fans. Comes with the territory. Which is why people say if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything, or just face the music right after. :)

[mrscupcakechic]

I love this song!

[Utubeman67]

Haliens are probably the worst fans a Idol Contestant could ever have. Haley would be ashamed of you, and I bet she wouldn't want pissy sore losers as her fans. Quit acting like Glamberts, because you are giving Haley a bad name by bashing Lauren for something that isn't even her fault. If you hate Lauren, then go bitch on a Haley Video instead of bitching on a Lauren Video.

[imharmlesstryme]

@Utubeman67 Hope you dont judge Haliens because there's an anomaly here & there. All haters are the same, I could categorise Haley-haters coming from Lauren fans if I wanted to, but I dont because I believe all fandoms are above becoming haters of others. It's just the haters here & there that are giving the rest a bad name.

I'm a die-hard Halien, but I come to this video because I enjoy Lauren. And I agree, Haley would be ashamed to have haters amongst her fans. Rejoice w/ Haley, don't hate!

[kashyhe]

@imharmlesstryme One nice Haley fan. Thank you. (:

[taylertide]

This is Me and my Mom right here =)

[hayleebeamazing]

I love how you sing and you and scotty are cute together(:

[Danceyourlittleheart]

Like this if you think Lauren Should've won... :P

[Craftfox16]

[77bubblegumpink]

haley is waaaaaaaaaay better voice range

[larajkattler]

like makes me cry every time <3 .

[britzchamby]

Why cant Lauren and Haley fans get along I love them both I just prefer Haley a little more but I still love Lauren

[diamond40631]

@britzchamby IT IS CLEAR THAT LAUREN AND SCOTTY HAD THE BEST VIOCES ON THERE!!..THEY WON DIDNT THEY!!!

[britzchamby]

@diamond40631 well thats ur opinion i tend to change the channel when Scotty performs becuz i think hes boring but thats just my taste i love Haley and Lauren becuz they are amazing singers in my opinion but Im gessing urs is diffrent

[JayJay24100]

i live one county over from her!! coosa county!!

[jjbeach1968]

Sucn a beautiful young lady with so much grace talent and style. She is truly an inspiration to to young girls. Never lose sight of your deam!!!!

[TaniaLuvzYa]

She's soooo beautiful and sings beautiful.

[jellybean33477]

I wanna be just like Lauren. She is my inspiration, she is very blessed. I hope she goes far! I love you Lauren, keep singing. (:

[missylew12]

How could anyone not like this its AWESOME!!! Lauren ROCKS!!!!

[maddie2002ryanfan]

she should have one she is awesome.

[hcnhcc312lakersbball]

@twilighthard18 i rooted for scotty mcreery too but im not hatin on lauren alaina. if u dont like her why are u listening to her

[Juliaps96]

I dont think y'all understand that even though she didnt win, she's still going to get signed by SOMEONE because she's amazing. So stop hatin' on Scotty. Remember? HE won. There's nothing you can do. Even if he didn't win, he would still get signed because voices liek his are one in a million. Like Cheryl Crow said, "I would love to get my hands on his recording contract".

[chickbabe16]

YOUR AWSOME LAUREN ALANIA ! my family and me voted for you 5,000 time every night .

[NeonAngel0714]

hahahaha.. IM SO SICK OF PEOPLE COMPARING SCOTTY AND LAUREN!! WTH? LET ME REMIND YOU, ON THE NIGHT OF THE FINALE: LAUREN WON IT, HANDS DOWN. THEY PICKED HER TO WIN. SO THAT MEANS SHE'S THE BEST.

[NeonAngel0714]

@twilighthard18 uhmm.. didn't you remember that the judges picked Lauren to win? So now Scotty's the best? I think he won because of his fangirls..

[lisaj955]

LOVE this song! This girl has an amazing voice!

[theBaybay22]

The Best American Idol is between her and Carrie Underwood!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MyGuitarman18]

@twilighthard18 How could you think Scotty is the best and express youself that way? Scotty is a gentleman and both Scotty and Lauren are the best and they are great friends. This performance by Lauren is magical b/c it is heaven brought to earth in beauty, sincere and passionate interpretation, vocal quality, inspiration, and love. Lauren's rendition of this song is transcendant and uplifts us all. What more can one ask for?

[jotsuka14]

hey lauren alaina fans, everyone go to this website and vote for her!

Search: "VOTE: Idolhead Ed, top 13 Idols"

[lolliewoodlhb]

61 people cannot sing!!!

[musicmancrichton]

all phase thy lord

[manupyopansy]

American Idol was always my favorite show... but Lauren Alaina made it 100 times better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andrealostaddict]

Awh, Ashton crying at 1:45! :')

[KewlGirl357]

I love Lauren. She was my favorite in the beginning but then I fell in love with Haley. Lauren was wayyyy better than Scotty but Haley's better then anyone :O I STILL LOVE LAUREN. SHE'S AWESOME

[dago00134]

I don't know why Haley fans are saying stuff about Lauren. If you think Haley should have been in the top 2, than why didn't you VOTE for her? Just because Haley has more views on her video's doesn't mean anything. If you knew Haley was better than Lauren, then you should have voted for her more.

[sabi94able]

I LOVE LAUREN ALAINA <3 SHE WAS JUST AMAZZIIIIINNNG I LOVE SCOTTY TOO,BUT LAUREN SHOULD HAVE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!I WISH I COULD HAVE VOTEDDDD!!!!!!!

[CoreyandJacksonVideo]

OH MY GOD SHE SHOULD HAVE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAS A STYLE ALL HER OWN AND SCOTTY SUCKED MY IDOLS IN ORDER: 1:KELLY CLARKSON 2:CARRIE UNDERWOOD 3:LAUREN ALAINA 4:DIANA DEGRMO 5:JORDIN SPARKS 6KATIE STEVENS 7:CLAY AKIN 8:KATHRINE MCPHEE 9:KRIS ALLEN 10:DAVID ARCHALETA THESE ARE MY TOP FAVORITE FROM THEIR SEASONS IN MY ORDER

[manny27999]

Lauren or Haley should have won.

[roymorock723]

The part where she goes off stage to her mom, and hugs her, is awesome. I don't usually cry but, this made me tear with Joy! I wish my mom and I were this close.
