The signs of a plant are all there.

'American Idol' lowers their age to 15. The they head to Nashville for only the second time in a row. And they bring in Steven Tyler as a judge.

We just know 'Idol' producers have planted Lauren Alaina to be their 15-year-old star this season. And according to the judges, she's "the one."

Add to that her parents' favorite song happens to be Aerosmith's 'Don't Want To Miss A Thing,' which Lauren coerces Steven into singing with her in the middle of her audition? C'mon?

And when was the last time we watched an entire family come into an audition with Ryan Seacrest hugging everyone?

If that doesn't smell like a plant, you must be a zombie.

'American Idol' airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8PM ET on Fox
