Lauren Alaina's lost voice and song for mother

Lauren Alaina lost her voice:

Lauren Alaina is sitting in the makeup chair silently because an "American Idol" doctor has frozen her throat in a last dump effort to save her voice ... descries on the "Idol" set.

TMZ broke the story ... Lauren lost her voice and could not ending rehearsing for tonight's finale.

Producers have brought Haley Reinhart to the set and she is currently in wardrobe.  If Lauren can't contend, Haley will settle against Scotty McCreery for the title.

We're told Haley just completed rehearsing, and if she does compete tonight she'll sing 3 songs, "House of the Rising Sun," "I Who Have Nothing" and "Bennie and the Jets."

Lauren Alaina sings for her Mother:

It was a night of wall-to-wall music on a particular Tuesday episode of 'American Idol'.

With but a single hour to pack in three rounds of contender between Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina, there was hardly time to even get judges' comments, much less make excited moments.

For the third round, though, Alaina managed to do just that with a absolutely suited song. Jimmy Iovine chose the song, which will become her single if she wins the season. We have a feeling it might just get released even if she comes in second, though.

The song is 'Like My Mother Does,' and ironically was released first on seventh season finalist Kristy Lee Cook's album.

As the youngest contestant in the show who's had her mother by her side since day one, though, Alaina was able to link up with the lyrics and truly make it her own.

She even made her way out to the audience to embrace her mother during the performance, and by the time the comments were through, Jennifer Lopez had made a bold prognostication that left both Lauren and her mother in tears.

"With that song you may have just won," Lopez said.

But was it enough to excel McCreery's fanatical fan-base? The judges gave a slight edge to Alaina on the night, but it is decidedly anyone's game. Can she break the bar of male winners on 'American Idol'?

Today, thirty two countries around the globe has attained the licence to air programs on similar format.

One of the basic reasons behind the success of this program is that the competition has many celebrity competitors who are paired with a dance professional and they have one week to practice and master a dance routine.

This concept was new and it spread around the world like fire and eventually reached the United States of America. The American adaptation of Strictly come dancing is Dancing with the stars. This show premiered on ABC in the United States in 2005 and till today, twelve seasons have been released.

Many prominent celebrities have participated in the competition and the judging panel includes renowned names like Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli. The celebrity participants include race-car drivers, Olympians, super models, football players, actors, an astronaut, singers and teen-heartthrobs and that is why the program has a huge fan base not limited to any one country. 

The competition is based on the judgement of not only the panel but also the audience. Both of these assign certain score to each pair of competitors. In each episode, the couple that gets the lowest score is eliminated. The last couple standing becomes the dancing champion.
