'American Idol' Runner-Up LAUREN ALAINA To Guest On New AEROSMITH Album - Mar. 10, 2012
Last year's "American Idol" runner-up Lauren Alaina has revealed that she has recorded backing vocals on AEROSMITH's new album, tentatively due this summer. Alaina tweeted on Friday, "Yesterday: returned to idol & then went to the studio to record background vocals for the new Aerosmith record. #ISTHISREAL? Thank u Steven!"

Georgian native Alaina became the youngest contestant to ever make it to the "Idol" finals at 16 years old. She charmed the "American Idol" judges during her January 2011 audition with a heartfelt and mature rendition of FAITH HILL's "Like We Never Loved". Later, Alaina capped off her appearance with a rendition of AEROSMITH's "I Dont Wanna Miss A Thing", with AEROSMITH frontman and "American Idol" judge Steven Tyler joining in for an impromptu duet.

According to Billboard.com, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" entered the Billboard digital chart for the first time at No. 54 after Tyler's duet with Alaina.

Alaina returned to the "Idol" stage this past Thursday night (March 8) to perform her new country single "Georgia Peaches".

Oh no, not American Idol influencing an Aerosmith album!! I thought they were going for a saw toothed, rough edge, nasty sound, not music to eat Coco Pops to. Let's hope her contribution is more Sandy Denny on Led Zeppelin IV than some soft Tyler ballad duet.

Slightly worrying

I thought this was supposed to be like a CLASSIC return to roots Aerosmith album. I don't remember anyone from Star Search on their old albums...or the Gong Show.

I never make a judgement on how I imagine what something is going to sound like until I am about 30 seconds into the actual song, I didn't think having Michelle Moore 'rapping' on the new Springsteen album would work, but 'Rocky Ground' for me maybe the best song he's recorded since 'The Rising' in 2002. I do know that Lauren Alaina can sing, and Aerosmith generally speaking rock out like a mother even on a bad day, so bring it on!

I think Haley Reinhart would've made more sense personally.
