Scotty McCreery thanked God as he nabbed the Idol title from Lauren Alaina on the American Idol finale last night! The country crooner from Garner, North Carolina won the 10th season of American Idol with the majority of the 122 million votes cast in his favor. With his bass voice and cartoonish looks, he created a stir in the hearts of teen girls everywhere, including 16-year old Alaina’s. The 17-year old is the youngest male to ever win the coveted title.
It was a star-studded evening with some standout performances. McCreery and Alaina opened the show with Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” James Durbin joined Judas Priest for both “Living After Midnight” and “Breaking the Law” but Jacob Lusk turned the attention back to gospel, singing “I Smile,” with Kirk Franklin and Gladys Knight. Casey Adams joined comedian Jack Black on the Queen tune “Fat Bottomed Girls.” Beyonce and the American Idol girls performed a medley of her hits. Tony Bennett sang with Haley Reinhart on “Steppin Out With My Baby.” McCreery and Tim McGraw pitched in on “Live Like You Were Dying.” Lil Jon stood in with TLC on “Waterfalls.” Beyonce performed her new single “One Plus One” and Lady Gaga pushed the R-rating on a mountain to her new song “Edge of Glory.” Bono and The Edge did “Rose Above” with Reeve Carney from the Spiderman musical. The American Idol Male medley was of Tom Jones’ hits and the man himself stepped in. Carrie Underwood joined Alaina on “Before He Cheats” and the show closed with Steven Tyler’s “Dream On.” (In case you missed it.)
