Prior to her energetic performance, the 18-year-old singer-songwriter walked down memory lane as she reminisced about her history with the show. “I watched by audition to try and remember if it was real or not,” she says of her “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” audition with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. “It was the coolest audition that might have ever been on the show.”
“It was one of the coolest things that’s happened to me, even up to this day,” she adds.
Dressed to the nines in a sleek black and white outfit, Alaina delivered a confidently poised performance, channeling her contemporaries Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert, while maintaining to her bright-eyed charm and glow. The single was co-written with Chris DeStefano and Jon Nite.
“I’ve completed four songs at this point and it’s a long process,” Alaina told The Boot last month of her new album. “The first album didn’t take long at all because I was rushed and I had to get it out, because it was right after ‘Idol.’ This album, I get to take my time. I went in and recorded those songs, but there’s no guarantee they’ll make the album. But it’s a really cool process and you learn a lot about yourself in the studio.”
She added, “The first time was so fast that I didn’t really get to take it all in. Now I can relax and calm down and focus on what I’m doing.”
“I’ve been listening to music since the summer time,” she explained in further detail. “People have sent me songs, I’ve been writing songs. It’s a really complex situation, because you have to sit down for hours at the label … I spent two days there, and I probably listened to hundreds of songs. I randomly get songs sent to me, too.”
