March 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. Alainatweeted 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".
