They've performed together before, they're both young country artists, and they just finished an 'American Idol' run that ended with him in first place and her in second, so it's only natural to ask: Have Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina talked about recording a duet now that they're labelmates? "Yeah, we have," says McCreery, although Alaina adds,"We need to establish ourselves as

Well if you listen to WBKR at all you know that I, Moon Mullins, am a BIG fan of Martina McBride. This morning, much to my great glee, I found a video of Martina and Lauren Alaina from American Idol performing Martina's hit "Anyway". The quality is not the best but it is worth a view at tasteofcountry...

For Scotty McCreery, it was close, but not close enough. The 'American Idol' season 10 winner's debut single, 'I Love You This Big,' failed to crack the top 10 on this week's Billboard Hot 100 chart, instead coming in at number 11.

After a record-setting 122.4 million votes, it was young country singer Scotty McCreery who was named the winner of 'American Idol' season 10. The 17-year-old from Garner, NC, beat out young country singer 16-year-old Lauren Alaina to become the youngest 'American Idol' winner ever. He's also the fourth-consecutive male to win the reality-competition series, following David Cook, Kris Allen and Le

Tonight is the 10th season finale of American Idol and one thing is for sure . . . we're going to have a country star taking the title!  Last night in the finale, my pre-season pick, Lauren Alaina, squared off against America's boy next door, Scotty McCreery!  According to Idol's Facebook fan poll (posted BEFORE the show yesterday), Scotty was the winner by a country mile!  But, last night, most a

Want some new music from Scotty and Lauren? Nashville's Mercury Records will release songs by both Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina this Thursday. Scotty's is called Love You This Big. We are told it doesn't sound like Josh Turner! Lauren's is called Like My Mother Does...

For the first time in American Idol history, the final will be an all-country affair!  Last night, Haley Reinhart was sent packing and paved the way for a showdown between Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery!  So, who is the Idol going to be?  As Randy Jackson said all season long, who has truly been "in it to win it?"  I chatted with our Idol expert, Steve Thompson, this morning and chatt

We're down to three contestants on Season 10 of American Idol and, Wednesday night, Haley Reinhart, Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery will be gunning for the finale!  To get there, each will have to sing three different songs to earn your votes.  According to our Idol expert, Steve Thompson, one song will be chosen by mentor Jimmy Iovine, one will be selected by the contestants themselves and the

What a 10th season on American Idol! It's surely had it's share of up and downs and shocking eliminations, one of the contestants that I was sure to be in the top 3 Pia Toscano was voted off well before her time and this past week James Durbin another person who I thought would be in the finale...

At least once or twice each American Idol season, I want to pick up something heavy and hurl it toward my television.  That already happened once this season when Pia Toscano was voted off the show WAY too early!  Last night, it happened again!!  James Durbin, who I fully expected to make the final and even win this season of Idol, was voted off the show . . . leaving Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alain

Dear Lauren Alaina, Chad Benefield here again from WBKR in Owensboro, KY.  I am writing to you today to tell you that I have just about had enough and am ready to break up with you.  I wrote to you a few weeks ago when it appeared that your nerves were holding you back on American Idol.  In my initial letter to you I said that I truly believe that you have the perfect combination of personality an

If you tuned into American Idol last night, you saw Lauren Alaina narrowly escape elimination and a mental breakdown!  Country's aspiring sweetheart let her nerves keep her from making all the right moves and hitting all the right notes in "Unchained Melody" on Wednesday night and she nearly paid the price for it on Thursday night.  But Lauren lives to see another day, but Jacob will not
