Scotty McCreery Is The American Idol, Season 10


Congratulations!
Whew, I have nothing more to say. As predicted, Scotty won the competition.

Who Will Be The Next American Idol, Scotty or Lauren ?


Time flies very quickly. 
Here we are, watching the musical face-off as it unfolds in front of our eyes.
  2 Idol contestants, 7,000 screaming fans at El Lay Nokia Theater, 3 worn out and almost 'boring' judges who say the same thing again and again, plus 6 performances that i don't know if it's finale-worthy. You do the math, total all of the figures given and you'll arrive with one solution - equals 7,011 bigtime suck!, Phew all of this wouldn't have happened if Haley's still around. 

As expected Dear Scotty did not even break a sweat, with that i mean he's so comfortable singing his ass on-stage. I would like to assume those performances were his last concert on Idol- since it's the Finale, right?
With Lauren, our teen-age girl with "confidence" issues, she has improved but not to the point where you'll be convinced that she's really in it to win it.

What do you expect? They're just kiddos.
For them opening acts, McCreery sang "Gone" while Alaina strutt her sexy muscles to the tune of "Flat on The Floor". With this round, Scotty performed effortless while with Lauren - never mind!

Carrie Underwood picked that country thang for our little Lauren - in my dreams? But thanks god, it did wonders for her. On the boys side, Scotty the hottie's presentation of the swagger-full Check... is full of swagger, check it out. Did I just repeat two words here?

And then, here comes the single that these two will shout to the world. In here, there should be a moment. Like, 'a moment like these, because some people wait a lifetime for a moment like these.' Okay that may have rung a bell inside your nutty brains, but what you're about to watch will be forgettable. The moment you poo and wipe your ass with that freakin' tissue paper, i'm telling you you'll forget these two songs.
For Scotty, it's " I Love You This Big." Boy, is his love really that big? JLo would want to see. Ha?!
For Lauren, our dear accent-ed girl knows how to manipulate the votes. I just noticed, she's so clever that's why she chose to do a tribute song for moms, "Like My Mother Does" - hush, because they are the ones who vote more!

So now that we all have feasted on the meat of the fruit, we go to the pulp. Final Verdict. Who's in it to win it? You bet, i was quite surprised that Lauren has the most improvement tonight. She found her niche, during the last part of the competition.
With Scotty, from day one until now, he has it. McCreery sounds like a recording artist,  and he performs like one. Alaina has still some little improvements needed - talk about polishing some fatty edges. Ha?! 
My mind tells me, It's gonna be Haley Scotty. Not unless god will interfere and do miracles with Lauren, like duh! Scotty is the next American Idol.

Scotty McCreery Vs. Lauren Alaina - Who Will Be The Next American Idol?

















Season 10 brings us underage, country singer "accent-ed" contestants in the grand finale.
Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery buying for the title of the next "American Idol" Wow.


First, let us analyze their musicality.
Scotty obviously has a deep killer voice. He nails every song that he sings, when he does it low. The problem happens when he tries to reach for the high notes - it does not sound good.
Lauren, our girl with "nerve" issues made it this far. It's her personality, all cute and charming, that made America like her, i guess. With regard to her voice, she has obviously a unique tone, it's sweet but wait until she gets on stage - everything will turn bitter, because she's not sure if she's got it in herself. 

Say one of them wins - which is now inevitable -would Scotty or Lauren have a successful country recording career?I mean, look at Carrie Underwood. Will these two, in any way, walk directly over the path that Carrie has walked on? Or one of them will be like Taylor Hicks, who never experienced stardom after winning the Idol title in 2006.

Them two are young, they can be trained and improved. And my mother would kill me if i continue to bash Scotty because she's a fan. Heck!

So, Who do you think will bag the crown? Would America go for a corny, handsome deep-voiced crooner or with a Georgian  girl -that has some confidence issues- who has got a sweet voice? Share your thoughts...

Scotty and Lauren Sing "Up On The Roof," Casey and Haley Perform "I Feel The Earth Move" - American Idol Season 10, Top 6, Carole King-Themed Performances

The Top 6 remaining Idol hopefuls brought nostalgia on stage by singing the hits of Carole King in tonights episode of American Idol Season 10.

Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina Sing "Up On The Roof"
These two contestants have a "distinct" chemistry that makes their duets quite phenomenal - in the past
I just love the fact that Lauren seems at-ease whenever she performs with Scotty, how i wish she could pull off that kind of confidence in her solo performances.
With regard to their duet, i don't think they got it right this time - it fell flat on the floor.








Casey Abrams and Haley Reinhart brought flavor in tonights show with this performance. Seriously, i enjoyed every moment of it. Their husky and cranky voice when combined is pleasing to the ears.
One little comment that i have for this number is there ain't much connection between the two of them - i'm sure they'll work this "issue" out. Ha?

Watch: Casey Abrams Sings "Hi De Ho"
Watch: Haley Reinhart Sings "Beautiful"



These pricks, James Durbin and Jacob Lusk, sang this one just because they need to. LOL!
What do you expect, there will be no chemistry because first of all Durbin isn't gay. 
So the "Broke Back Mountain" connection sh*t that the AI producers are trying to pull off in this performance will not work, OKAY?

Watch: James Durbin Sings "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"
Watch: Jacob Lusk Sings "Oh No Not My Baby"

Scotty McCreery Does A Little "Swingin'" - American Idol, Top 7 Performance

Photo: Michale Becker/FOX


















Song: LeAnn Rimes, "Swingin'"
Steven said: "I would love it if you just boot-scooted a little more"
Jennifer said:"I just felt like maybe we were expecting more from Scotty."
Randy said: "To me that was so safe -- it was actually kind of boring"

The Mind Slut says: "Scotty, oh Scotty. What happened? Seriously, the most lame performance of the night. " *yawning

American Idol, Top 8 Performances: Stefano Langone Proves His Worth; Scotty, Lauren and Casey Hit It Big

It's the movies night on American Idol Season 10. Some performances bill top-notch, while others just settle as supporting casts.

Stefano Langone, Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, Casey Abrams,
American Idol Top 8 Performance, Photo: Michale Becker/FOX

















Today, the almost eliminated Stefano Langone returns to the Idol stage with a bang. He sings BoyzIIMen hit "End of The Road." Well, clearly, it's not the end for him. He has the key to JLo's house, his emotional performance says it all!


Once labeled "the one man phony," Scotty McCreery does his country trick once more. The 17-year old, North Carolina native sits comfortably on his stool as he sings George Strait's "Cross My Heart." It's not the song that you'd want him to sing, but whatever he does, it hits. His simplicity always captures the audience - everyone gets mesmerized.... and they want more.

Surprise! Lauren Alaina is starting to have that "it." She sings Miley Cyrus' "The Climb," with ease. She even does it better than Hanna Montana herself. Undoubtedly, her star is starting to shine on the show. Let's hope she brings something more next week. Heck! I can see her in the Top 4.



The always weird Casey Abrams does his jazz sh*t while his hands caress a big white cielo. The judges-saved contestant once again "wows" the panel, i wonder if he "wows" the audience. There's this something deep going on inside Casey, his artistry just pours out whenever he does something (imagine he choses to ignore Jimmy Ivine's song suggestion.) Find out tomorrow if America will appreciate what he does on the show today.

What about the others?

Paul McDonald's did his best, but i think he'll be in the bottom 3. Other than his fancy suit, what he sang was too kareoke for me.
Jacob Lusk sang dramatically awesome, i am not sure if he's got enough fans to put him through the eliminations tomorrow. God help him.
Haley Reinhart rocked the house. But what she has done, its quiet forgettable, i am crossing my fingers, i don't know if she's gonna be safe anymore.
James Durbin, with all that shrieking and shouting, i guarantee, he'll be spared from tomorrow's elimination.

American Idol, Top 9 Performances: Haley Reinhart Brings It, Scotty McCreery Oozes with Sexyness

From Haley Reinhart's captivating "Piece of My Heart" number to James Durbin's sleepy George Harrison cover, this week's Top 9-Rock-and-Roll-themed show balances between great and lame performances on both ends.

Photo: Fox


















It's no denying that Haley Reinhart has rocked the house down twice since last week. From a struggling curly underdog to a must-watch growling-punk every show, Reinhart only proves she's in it to win it



I do hope that Haley's fans will vote for her tonight because  like what ousted contestant Naima Adedapo has said, "Once the american girls have a crush, we're done."

Speaking of America's crush, If there's one contestant that i don't get tired of watching, it's Scotty McCreery.
His Elvis Presly's 'That's All Right Mama" performance today is a stunner, it feels like i am watching his own  concert. Watch this video and wait for Scotty's "killer look" in the end
.


I am pretty sure that tonight,  all the american girls will be dialing their phone to vote for the juicy Scotty with their panties down on the floor. Damn, I ain't be surprised if he'll be the next American Idol.

Surprise! After being almost eliminated last week, Paul McDonald pours his artist/performer sh*t and jives it all out with his Folsom Prison Blues song number. Well, the unique tone of his voice matches the electrifying  jam that he brings  today - bigtime!



Now what about the others?

Lauren Alaina's "Natural Woman" hits the right spot for her not to be eliminated this week. I am starting to like her.

Pia Toscano sings the up-tempo Tina Turner's "River Deep, Mountain High" - Jeez, awkward movements and  lifeless! I mean, belting high notes is no guarantee that you'll win, you have to show some flavor girl.

Jacob Lusk shows us his reflection as he sings "Man In The Mirror." Now, i am personally asking Jacob to change his ways, or else fans may get bored watching him.

Jeniffer Lopez' boy, Stefano Langone did nothing new this week. His r&b-ish "When A Man Loves A Woman" appears a little forced, and he's somewhat struggling with his phrasing.

Judges' saved Casey Abrams and James Durbin deliver lame and soggy numbers this week, i have this feeling one of them is going home tomorrow.
What do you think?

AI Recap: Stefano Langone Touches Jennifer Lopez, Scotty McCreery Stays in The Zone

The American Idol Season 10 finalists sang Elton John classics this week. Some contestants made their stars spark while others just stayed the same, in short, they did not do anything new.

So here are some of my favorites for this week's American Idol Episode... 


Scotty McCreery proved, once more, that he's the real country-hottie-puss-slayer. Armed with his guitar and a pair of sexy boots, he came out really dashing and ended his performance with an amazing "low note." 
Scotty McCreery 
Jennifer Lopez liked his amazing instincts about performing and about what's right for him. Randy Jackson commented he has seasoned so fast in the show. Well, the thing that i like about Scotty is he does not need to do any gimmicks to be noticed. He just sings, and he nails it every time. 

What's different today? Stefano Langone, who obviously took note about the judges' comments with regard to "connection," opened his eyes throughout his presentation. Good Job!


The Italian contestant, who tripped into the bottom three last week, did his take on Elton's "Tiny Dancer." As the song neared its end, he walked into the judges table and reached his arms, Randy jokingly aimed his hand at Langone, but JLo was fast enough to get the Italian hunk's touch. Flirting galore? LOL 
Stefano Langone
She growled, she rocked, Mr. Tyler said she sings sexy, yes, she  just did!
Haley Reinhart finally nailed it tonight. You see she has this angst inside her, been rooting for her since day one. I am not sure if she'd make it trough the rough cut tomorrow, but at least - she showed the world her awesome vocal talent.
Haley Reinhart
Casey Abrams did an emotional and toned down performance of "Your Song." It could be Elton John's song, but the way he delivered it, very, very,  Casey.
Did Casey deserve the American Idol Judges' save last week? Effin' yeah! The way he sang tonight, My god, he blew me away - I think you would agree on me this time. 

Casey Abrams

So what about Pia Toscano and Jacob Lusk? Weren't they good? Yes, in fact they do perform great stuff every time, but you see, things are getting a little boring for the two of them.  

James Durbin, the eclectic singer who sang "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", gave out  an over the top "almost-irritating" performance.  (with all that fire and punk-feel that was incorporated on stage, pffft!)
Thia Megia delivered the goods. It was an awesome emotional number, the one that you can feel. However, i wasn't stunned. But she sang my name, "Daniel," LOL, so i love her.
Lauren Alaina was in the same boat like Thia. She sings good, but there's something that is lacking. I don't know. do you?
I agree with Randy when she said that Naima Adidapo was a little corny tonight. 
Please, for the love of god, dear  Paul McDonald, throw away those flowery suit.

The Killer Scotty Gets Juicy

Whenever he goes low, the ladies get killed.
Photo: FOX
What about tonights juice? American Idol Season 10 goes Motown this week and Scotty McCreery knew he's up for a big challenge. 
The 16 year old crooner picked to perform Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life."
According to Scotty, the  last thing that he wants to do is to come off as lounge singer. We tried to stay true to the song, but give it a country vibe,” McCreery said.

Behold, his "Elvis-like" swagger nailed it. 


COMMENTS.
Steven Tyler was beautified with the presentation. He compared Scotty to Glen Campbell (whoever he is) and loved that the AI contestant really ripped it. 
Jennifer Lopez, wearing a pale lipstick, praised McCreecry for making the song like his own.
The most interesting comment came from Randy Jackson who can't help but smile over Scotty's performance. "You’re taking chances," Jackson said, " When you hit the low note, you were the lady killer.”


So, were you killed?
