Wildflower Is Sure to Drive Country Fans "Wild"

Lauren Alaina, American Idol runner up, season 10, releases her debut album, Wildflower, Tuesday October 11th. Wildflower features “Like My Mother Does,” which was her first single released following the American Idol season finale. Wildflower is classic country with an upbeat pop feel, a sound familiar to Shania Twain fans.

It's "Clear as Day" America Made the Right Choice

 Season 10 American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery releases his first studio album, Clear as Day, Tuesday October 4th. Season 10 ended with a record number of votes, and for the first time it seemed as though there was not just one but two winners in the competition, both in the country music genre.

 McCreery has his own charm in that sweet deep southern voice, singing seemingly classic country tunes on Clear as Day, sounding like this is his fifth album, rather than his first.

Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?

My favorite performance of Scotty McCreery's (American Idol season 10 winner) was his rendition of  "where were you when the world stopped turning" (originally sung by Alan Jackson).
On September 11th 2001 I was in shop class, and my teacher was belligerent because he couldn't get on the CNN website to check his stocks. The IT guy informed him that the internet was flooded out because planes had crashed into the World Trade Center.
Driving home from school that day I remember hearing "Stuck In the Moment" by U2 and "Superman" by Five For Fighting, and feeling somehow that the world had frozen, as the DJ from KISS 108 stated they were trying to play "comforting music." Everyone remembers where they were. Ten years has gone by. The important thing is that we never forget. The tragic unification of our country lives on in films and music forever.

 

The Raunchiest Finale for the Holiest Winner

SCOTTY WINS! Scotty McCreery was announced the winner of American Idol this evening. The talented, deep-voiced country singer sang his single, "This Big" and even more noteworthy, sounded better than Tim McGraw in "Live Like You Were Dying." No matter who won, the world of country music wins, since Lauren Alaina blew us away in her duet with Carrie Underwood. If Scotty was looking for a private relationship with Lauren, the cat is out of the bag after he kissed her while dancing during his finale song. Is this the first couple face-off in the 10 seasons of Idol? It's going to be hard to say that America made the "wrong" choice since these artists are close and both sing the same genre.
Most of the other acts on tonight's Idol were sure to turn the heads of the two God loving Southern finalists. Jack Black and Casey Abrams "rocked" out, if you want to call it music.
 We're sure to hear from the parents Council, and rightfully so, since GaGa thought it would be appropriate to have simulated sex on stage while performing "The Edge Of Glory." J-Lo danced in next to nothing with Marc Anthony, the "most beautiful woman in the world" was strutting her stuff and is the talk of Hollywood.
If kids are going to be watching, I suggest we tone it down.
Congrats to Scotty and Lauren! See you on tour!
