This year's final 13 (as a whole) were the best singers American Idol has ever had at the same time - IMHO. It seemed like every week it got harder and harder to make predictions as to who was going forward. Both Lauren and Scotty have super voices and a wide vocal range. Every once in awhile Scotty came close to an "Elvis" sound, and I would imagine that he and Lauren will both do well in the future. I would imagine that the others also will do well in the music business.
