As you know by now and was previously mentioned here on wgna.com, Scotty McCreery beat Lauren Alaina last night to become the 2011 American Idol. His first single which he sang last night  has already hit the internet and sounds like a big ol' hit to me!  It's called "I Love You This Big".

It looks to be a good week for country music as far as reality competition shows go. First, John Rich became the first "Country" Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday and tomorrow we are guaranteed to have a country singer as the next American Idol. It's down to Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.

Country Music has had a strong presence on the 2011 season of American Idol.  No matter who wins the competition, Country Music has discovered two new talents from the show: Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery.

Country guru Scott McCreery was once again safe last night on "American Idol" as well as my favorite, Lauren Alaina.  However, the votes still had to be counted and someone sent home -- or where they?
