Lauren Alaina Covers Miley Cyrus on American Idol!


Lauren Alaina, one of our absolute favorite American Idol contestants of the season, covered one of our favorite teen queen's hit songs on last night's episode of the hit Fox show! 
That's right, the talented 16-year-old covered Miley Cyrus' song The Climb -- and after hearing her in rehearsals, Interscope king Jimmy Iovine told Lauren that she was a better singer than Cyrus!  Talk about a major compliment! 
"I picked this song because it's about a young girl struggling to reach her dreams," said Lauren during the package that was played to intro her performance.  We love Alaina's honesty and determination -- it doesn't hurt that she absolutely nailed the song either! 
The three judges seemed to have loved Lauren's performance, too!  Jennifer said that she loved hearing her sing that song and that she liked the “tear” in her voice. Randy thought she put on an amazing performance and Steven said she moved him “beyond tears.”  We're not too surprised that Steven showered her with praise -- as he has already said he believes she is the next American Idol!
What did you guys think of Lauren Alaina's rendition of The Climb!?  Was she better than Miley!?
