Lauren Alaina (real name Lauren Alaina Suddeth) quickly became a
favorite on
American Idol: The Search for a Superstar (2002)
Season Ten's list of competitors, unique in her looks and known for her
devotion to God. Born and raised in Rossville, Georgia, Lauren tapped
into her talent of singing when her cousin got diagnosed with a brain
tumor and convinced Lauren to pursue her singing dreams. During her
stay on "American Idol", she quickly became friends with winner
Scotty McCreery. They shared their
Christianity, country roots and likability. Though Scotty won, Lauren
was more than happy to lose to a friend and kissed him repeatedly after
it was announced to what would later be called "Proof of McLaina",
which is a couple nickname dubbed by Lauren and Scotty's fans. Though
Lauren played it coy for weeks after, both she and Scotty have now said
that they are like "brother and sister" and they are "best friends".
Her new album, "Wildflower", hit stores in October of 2011 and,
already, she shows some huge success, debuting at number 1 on iTunes.
With her awesome looks, angelic voice and charming sense of humor, one
thing is for sure: this "Georgia Peach" has talent and will go very
far.
