In my opinion, it is a tie, although Kree got all 50 of my votes last night. Las Vegas oddsmakers are also favoring Kree to win. Both girls sang an original song that will be their first release as a winner. Here is Kree's first single, if she wins tonight:

Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley are named in a lawsuit saying their duet "Remind Me" was plagiarized. A songwriter named Amy Bowen says she wrote the song in 2007 while living in Nashville. The lawsuit claims that she sang the song agt a showcase attended by two of the song's co-writers. Both Brad and Carrie say, though, the song came to life during a phone call. “When we were a little ways into the writing, I said, ‘I just hear her singin’,’ so I call her. I didn’t even have a verse when I talked to you on the phone. I said, ‘I promise this’ll be great." Brad said. Carrie adds, ”It happened just like that.”

Still, in a statement released through his rep, Jason is asking fans not jump to conclusions, “I’ve learned that everyone always rushes to judgement when they hear news like this.

Trace Adkins broke his foot. Leave it to Trace to post a cringe-worthy photo of it on Twitter with the tweet, "This is gross." (You've been warned, it is pretty gross!) The oversharing didn't stop there, however, as Trace later tweeted, "I also have a rash that I'm trying to get a good pic of. Having some difficulty." Wanna see the larger version of the photo? OK...go here: http://www.whosay.com/traceadkins/photos/324441
