true HD Lauren Alaina "If I Die Young" Top 3 American Idol 2011 (May 18)

"If I Die Young" was Jimmy Iovine's pick for Lauren (2nd of 3 for each contestant).

It is the title of a song written by Kimberly Perry and recorded by American country group The Band Perry. It was released as their second single in June 2010, and serves as the lead-off single to the group's self-titled debut album, which was released on October 12, 2010. It became the group's first Top 10 single on the country chart as well as their first Top 20 on the Hot 100. The song became their first Number One hit on the country charts for the week of December 11, 2010.

The song's female narrator describes being content with the life she has lived, assuring others that if she were to pass away at her young age, that she would have no regrets. She recognizes that once someone passes away, others seem to pay attention to life more: "And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin' / Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'." So, she states that "if she dies young," then her family left behind should "save [their tears] for a time when they're really gonna need them." She is not scared at all about her death, because she knows she had a good life.

she missed to change the key........

[LuckymeTingEn]

i am a fan of her, but i have to say that this is not her best performance.

to be honest, this could have been enough to kill her off Top 2.

[cheerandjustinbiebe1]

[crazystage]

ending was the best part beside missing that lyric.

Lauren is the only person who I think made it as far as she should have (Instead of too far or not far enough.) She deserves the runner up position. Scotty didn't deserve to win though... IN MY OPINION, Haley should have won.

[SuperSpartyfan]

The ending was complete rubbage.
