Top 4: James Durbin, Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina and Haley Reinhart. I still personally miss Lauren Turner, but that’s just me. And I read this on the Internet, so it must be true: Lady Gaga will mentor along with Jimmy Iovine, and the songs are all by Lieber and Stoller. Who?, you ask. These guys: Their hits include “There Goes My Baby,” “Hound Dog,” “Yakety Yak,” “Stand By Me” (with Ben E. King), “Jailhouse Rock,” “Love Potion No. 9,” “I’m a Woman” and “On Broadway.”
