But following receiving medical attention and medication she was declared fit to perform battle with fellow finalist Scotty McCreery.
Lauren soldiered on devoid of any audible hiccups, becoming tearful in the course of her last song, with both her and Scotty, 17, receiving high praise from the judges for their performances.
Nonetheless, regardless of her setback, Lauren appeared to get the edge over Scotty, with all the judges getting slightly additional impressed by her efforts.
Soon after the final song, all 3 judges said Lauren would get their vote more than Scotty - though it truly is the public who get to make a decision the winner.

Steven Tyler even went as far to say: 'Lauren gets it hands down.'
The show began with all the drama over Lauren's voice being discussed.
She reassured host Ryan Seacrest: 'I'm fine,' immediately after the programme's medical doctor explained how she had received medical therapy for her vocal chords.
Tonight saw the boy subsequent door versus the southern belle as Scotty and Lauren put in their final performances ahead of tomorrow's finale.
Every single contestant sung three songs for judges Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Tyler.
Round a single was their favourite song from the season, round two was a song picked by their mentors and round three was the single that every single contestant will release if they win the competitors.
Scotty's final song was the slow track, I love You This Big.
At the start in the final showdown at L.A.’s Nokia Theatre, Ryan Seacrest described the faceoff among Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina as “the boy-next-door versus the Southern belle.”
Lauren, sadly, had also been undertaking battle with her own voice - or, far more accurately, her voice had been doing battle with her.
Throughout rehearsal she’d blown out a vocal cord. A medical doctor in black scrubs - wouldn’t that cheer you up inside the ER? - came out and explained that she’d been treated and would do “great.”
Stated Lauren: “I’m here, I’m able to sing, and I’m fine. Do not be concerned about it.”
She mentioned this having a brave smile that was essentially not all that reassuring.
But this was live Television, and we had been off. And Lauren was correct.
The evening was broken down into three rounds: 1) The contestants encored their preferred songs from the season; two) They sang a amount selected by their private idols - Carrie Underwood for Lauren, George Strait for Scotty; and 3) They carried out what would come to be their initial single, ought to they win.
Round One
Scotty McCreery: Montgomery Gentry’s “Gone.” Well, he was impeccably smooth. This was even smoother than I bear in mind his original efficiency, and cool as a sheriff at high noon.
Lauren: Underwood’s “Flat on the Floor.” Her voice seemed to obtain lost within the tumbling lyrics, but then a swiftly tempo has never ever done her any favors. She’s greater when she can slowly pour syrup over every thing. (I imply that inside a beneficial way.)
Jennifer Lopez gave her a standing ovation, but through the overall performance the camera kept cutting to her in close-up: She had the stern, concerned look of a tree surgeon asking yourself if branches would have to be cut.
Round Two
Scotty: Strait’s “Check Yes or No.” Even greater, extra confident than “Gone,” with nice tiny hiccups in tone. You possibly could have told him a country-seeking missile was heading straight for him, and he’d have provided the same efficiency.
Lauren: Pam Tillis’s “Maybe It Was Memphis,” which she sang in a poufy gold party dress and boots. Significantly improved, since it was additional in her wheelhouse, as Randy Jackson could possibly say - she connects much better to an undercurrent of emotion.
At that point, Ryan asked the judges to assess the initial two rounds.
Praising both singers as “incredible,” Randy Jackson gave Round A single to Scotty having a slight edge, and Round Two to Lauren, again with a slight edge. Jennifer described the opening round as “explosive,” and agreed with Randy’s verdicts.
Steven Tyler gave each rounds to Lauren, “but only mainly because she’s prettier.”
Round 3
Scotty’s single: “I Really like You This Big.” Producer Jimmy Iovine told Scotty it was “a big moment in addition to a major song, and you’ve got a major voice.” Beats me: It was a slow, sincere, porous marshmallow of a song that soaked up quite a bit of Scotty’s ornery strength.
“The range was excellent,” said Randy. Jennifer: “A actually amazing job.” Steven: “You nailed it once more.”
Lauren: “Like My Mother Does.” A different marshmallow, but melodically richer, and Lauren’s a natural for this form of ballad. Most significant, perhaps, she was allowed the supremely sentimental moment of getting led by Ryan down into the audience and hugging her own mother, who mouthed “Thank you” to her.
Lauren cried, her mother cried, her dad cried. I mean, come on, didn’t you cry? As Iovine place it: “Moms are the bedrock of American society, and they’re all going to be moved by this song like crazy.”
The judges all loved it, too. Randy gave the round to Lauren with a slight edge, Steven stated she’d won it “hands down,” and Jennifer concluded: “With that song, it's possible you'll have just won.

'When you hit that finish note I was like "woah, dude". Scotty you're in it to win it. That was a brilliant vocal,' Jackson told him.
'You are a storyteller, you did an astounding job with that song,' stated Lopez.
Lauren's final track was It's Like My Mother Does, which led her to hug her mother through the performance.
'Lauren Alaina has arrived America, that was awesome,' shouted Jackson.
