American Idol's Scotty McCreery Singing “She Believes in Me” on the Final 3 Showdown
Scotty McCreery, American Idol Season 10's Country Crooner, sings “She Believes in Me” by Kenny Rogers as his third song ~ the 'Judges Choice' ~ on the Final 3 Showdown.
"We see footage of Scotty in Garner receiving his song pick. Really judges? This song is ANCIENT. Jimmy’s pick was way better than yours. This is way too old for Scotty. He’s doing a solid job, however, telling a sweet story. He does a beautiful job hitting the big notes in the chorus. Steven Tyler: That’s the first big chorus in a big way. You put it over the top for me.
Jennifer Lopez: We wanted to see if you could hit that chorus. You showed us. It’s about you stretching yourself at this point. It was a little different for you...you were so sweet and tender in the front, you hit the chorus...very nicely done. Scotty’s dad tells him, from the audience, how proud he is of him. “Very proud of you song.” Dad sings a snippet, "Baby Lock them doors" (imitating Josh Turner)...Scotty laughs."

American Idol's Scotty McCreery Asks “Are You Going to Kiss Me or Not” on the Final 3 Showdown
American Idol Season 10's Scotty McCreery ask “Are You Going to Kiss Me or Not” by Thompson Square..and all the girls in American answer "Hell YES!!"
A recap of Scotty’s first audition in front of the judges. BABY LOCK THEM DOORS. Scotty says his audition feels like it happened 10 years ago. Jimmy says the song reminds him of the Tom Petty records he worked on. Scotty strums his guitar. Good song choice for Scotty, although I wish he would have added a little more of a rock feel to it, like Jimmy Iovine suggested. The tune’s got a GREAT chorus. Is this what Scotty will sound like when he records his record? If so, he’s definitely moving in the right direction. Steven Tyler: I never heard you deliver a chorus like that before. Real character shown through.
Jennifer Lopez: There was so many moments in there I liked so much. That’s what the zone feels like – you feel so comfortable in your skin. Will you shave your head for the finale? Randy Jackson: Jimmy picked a good song for you. It had a great chorus. I felt like Garth Brooks is such a great performer – you were approaching that Garth level. I felt like I was at your concert again. Guess what I’m going to say again Ryan? SCOTTY’S IN IT TO WIN IT. Drink! Drink! Drink!

American Idol's Scotty McCreery Sings “Amazed” on the Final 3 Showdown
American Idol Season 10's Scotty 'The Hottie' McCreery sang “Amazed” by Lonestar as his 'Personal Choice' song on the Final 3 Showdown. Tonight the Idols will sing three songs each, and the guest celebrity mentor is Beyonce (who, surprise, surprise, has a new album coming out ~ like everyone else on the show!).
"He really does have such a charm, and it's so innocent. And he's such a cutie pie," says Beyonce of Scotty. Beyonce questions whether Scotty is comfortable and confident going into his high range, since he normally sticks to the lower register. Looks like Scotty's been hiding a few tricks up his sleeve to pull out at the end when he really needs to shine!
Scotty does it again ~ drawing the entire audience to him just by standing still. He's such an extremely skilled and accomplished professional on stage, I am still shocked by his age, week after week. Scotty did what he does best ~ tell a story. He has such a full and warm voice, it was lovely to hear him expand his range and hit some high notes. The judges and audience give Scotty an extended ovation and really seemed to have enjoyed his performance.
Steven Tyler praised, "I think you just keep getting better and better with your melody. Did I hear you get angry there during that modulation when you went upstairs and kicked that song into the middle of next week? (Like always, Scotty looks bewildered by Steven's strange questions and comments.) That's really beautiful. You really did take that song up a notch."
Jlo said, “It's great to see you over the weeks, and how much you've grown. You’ve grown so much as a performer. It's just great. A great way to start the show. I'm sure there's a million girls out there wishing you were singing that song to them.”
Randy Jackson added, "It was a great song choice for you. I recorded it, and produced a version with Boyz II Men. It's an amazing song, and that's the thing I love you do. You're picking smart things, knowing who you are and where your lane is. There were a couple of pitchy spots, but the end of the song, wow you put a period on the end, like "Oh my God". You looked into the camera. That’s money. Scotty’s got money!" Scotty says he put a little “Casey growl” into the songs’ modulation, rather than getting angry like Steven suggested.
