alaina whitaker: underwood junior


Name: Alaina Whitaker

Age: 16

Audition city: Dallas

Distinguishing characteristics: Her more-than-mild resemblance to champ Carrie Underwood. Physically, it's nearly uncanny, but vocals might be a different story. During her initial audition, she Carrie has been compared to her, not vice versa. She sang some Faith Hill and got a three-way yes, but Simon cautioned she's not as good as she thinks she is.

Skeletons in the closet: None yet, unless you count her admission here that she's the captain of her school's "prom squad."

Sounds like: Carrie Underwood spiked with a few shots of Kellie Pickler and Jordin Sparks

Odds of winning: Iffy. Fans will likely have to sort out some ego issues, and wait for her to decide if she's an all-country singer. Make that a unique all-country singer.
