Lauren Alaina Suddeth is coming home from Hollywood — but this is the one week on “American Idol” when that’s good news.

After a record 71 million votes were cast by viewers Wednesday night, Rossville’s teen singing sensation advanced to the final three contestants with Haley Reinhart and Scotty McCreery. They each will make hometown visits this weekend that will be taped to air on Wednesday’s episode of “Idol.”
