On Wednesday’s American Idol and before Scotty McCreery was crowned season 12’s winner, he and Tim McGraw sang a duet together of Live Like You Were Dying. Scotty proved again that yes, he does in fact have what it takes to be a country super star!

Congratulations to season 12 American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery.
After he was announced the winner, Scotty sang his first single, Love You This Big. As he sang, he walked into the crowd and hugged his mom, dad, sister and everyone else there in the audience to root on this incredibly poised and talented 17 year old.
Scotty then walked back on the stage and hugged all the other season 12 finalists and told co-finalist Lauren Alaina, “I love you baby!” SWEET!
Scotty ended the night like any shocked and thrilled Idol winner should: Trying to eat the confetti pieces falling from the ceiling..Congrats Scotty!

| Scotty McCreery and me 🙂 |
Season seven American Idol winner David Cook performed a cover of the 1985 song by Simple Minds, Don’t You (Forget About Me) at the American Idol season ten finale Tuesday May 24, 2011. The song has also been the boot song once the contestants were voted off all season.
Lauren chose to re-sing Flat on the Floor. Her voice did not sound any worse for the wear. She strutted down the stairs confidently shaking her hips and was full of sass. Watch her performance video below:
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.
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.
