The youngest American Idol match up took place Tuesday May 24 when 16-year old Lauren Alaina and 17-year old Scotty McCreery went head-to-head for the Idol crown.
Scotty won the coin toss and like the gentleman that he is, he deferred to Lauren. Lauren chose to go second. So, Scotty opened the competition and sang Gone to represent his favorite song of the season.
Favorite Song of the Season Round:
Scotty worked the crowd like a seasoned pro on his replay rendition of Gone, starting his performance in the aisle and high-fiving the audience as he walked towards the stage.
Scotty’s personal idol, George Strait, picked Check Yes or No for Scotty and Scotty nailed it like every other sing he’s sang this season.
Finalists’ Singles Round:
Should Scotty win, his first single will be Love You This Big. Jimmy Iovine introduced McCreery’s single, praising his confidence. As usual, the Idol’s first single does not suit the contestant’s voice.
