Good kids win the big one! It was refreshing to see the two finalists and their families in the finals. I already knew there are still great kids doing great things because of our two kids. But I saw this finale as a victory over the ridiculous, costume-wearing, sex-laden pop culture of today's music world. Are Lauren and Scotty a couple?
