Thanks in part to this song, Lauren has been a big part of these last few seasons of American Idol. Her songs are constantly featured. She has also mentored and even positively crashed a contestant's audition.

It's cool to know that both Lauren and Kane went to middle school together. This song is very close to going DIAMOND. With Kane's star rising every year, it shouldn't take much longer. This is the final 5th place finisher.

If you do someone wrong, there is a great chance the lyrics of a hit song will call you out and air your 'dirty laundry'. The black-and-white visuals added a nice tone here.

Keith Urban was a former American Idol judge during the latter years of the Fox era. He and Carrie deliver a very catchy bop. Both radio and fans alike ate this one up.

Carrie almost had every single from her "Blown Away" album make the top 10. When choosing future singles, Carrie and team really need to revisit this album. Also, this was almost chosen for the "Narnia" single.

This is Carrie's first single from the "Blown Away" era. The choice of song helped keep her momentum go strong this cycle. This is the last of the 4th place finishers and had enough high votes to make our top 10!

Lauren has had plenty of success with duet partners. It was nice to see her secure a #1 song with a solo. This was the last of the 3rd place finishers. Congrats to both fireflies and dee12 for perfect rankings!

Once exiting American Idol, Gabby didn't stop working hard at music. It paid off because this song was a breakout hit and she got signed. I enjoy both versions of this song. This is our first winner to be leaving us.
