Someone give Scotty McCreery a contract already because this seasoned crooner is already way too ready to become a country singing superstar.

On Wednesday’s (5/18) American Idol, Scotty sang the life out of Lonestar’s Amazed as his first song of the night. And then he blew me away with his rendition of Kenny Rogers’ She Believes In Me. Scotty, I believe in you and you are making a country music lover out of me!

Here are the judges’ comments to his first performance:

Steven Tyler: “I just think you get better and better with your melody and your singing. I saw you get angry in the middle of that song, that’s what I have been waiting for. That’s really beautiful. You really did take that song up a notch.”

Jennifer Lopez: “It’s great to see you over the weeks…and how much you have grown. I’m sure there are a million girls out there wishing you were singing that song to them.”

Randy Jackson: “It was a great song choice for you. You know who you are and where your lane is. You put a period at the end of that song. You looked into that camera, that’s money!”

Watch Amazed for yourself:

For his second song, chosen by Jimmy Iovine, Scotty sang Thompson Square’s Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not? Tyler was all smiles! “I never heard you deliver a chorus like that before, you were singing those words, ‘are you gonna kiss me or not?’Beautiful, real character showing through.” Lopez said the performance was full of little moments that she loves so much and showed the audience the singer’s personality. She then asked him to shave his head next week so he can look the way he did in auditions. Jackson said, “It was really perfect, right in your range,” and then compared him to Garth Brooks. Jackson and Lopez called the second round for Scotty!

For his third song, he nailed one of my favorites, She Believes In Me by Kenny Rogers – the song  chosen by the judges for him. Tyler said, “I do believe that’s the first big chorus you’ve sang,. You put it over the top for me. That was it right there.” Lopez said, “We chose that song because we all wanted to know if you could hit that big chorus, I guess you showed us!” Jackson agreed, “It’s about you stretching yourself at this point…seeing you believe you could hit those notes, you were so sweet and tender in the front. You hit the chorus. Very nicely done.”

Scotty McCreery rendered a beautiful, moving and pitch perfect performance of Alan Jackson’s Where Were You? on May 11th’s American Idol.

Listen, I am not a connoisseur of conutry music by any means, but I know a damn good heartfelt performance when I see and hear one, and Scotty, you killed it for me!

The Idol judges agree:

Randy Jackson: “Dude, I think it’s the perfect song choice for where we are as a country. I applaud you for that. You set your mark on this stage this season. You are ready for super stardom and I hope you make it.”

Steven Tyler: “That was beautiful. I ditto what Randy said. Passion…that’s really important. I see it in your eyes.”

Jennifer Lopez: “I’m just in love with you. I can’t help it. What you stand for, what you bring to your music. I can tell you know who you are. I can tell you know what touches other people. It’s the mark of someone who is meant to do this. And I’m glad we’re here to witness it.”

For his second song, he sang a more up-tempo fun song by The Coasters Young Blood. Tyler said it best, “You made Gaga’s yaya go lala. How could you do that?” HUH?

Here is the performance:
