Week 5 Analysis

How is Scotty McGreery doing with is new career in the Country Music aftrer American Idol?  Well the winner of Ameican Idol would have had their first song published right away, and it was the song he sang on the second last night of the show.  Scotty sang "I Love You This Big", which became the first highest charting debut song for a new artist in over 20 years!  The first time it was heard on the radio was may 24, and came in at number 32 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.  The song also hit number 3 on Billboards Digitral songs chart with 171,404 units sold, and number one on iTunes.

Scotty definately accomplished so much in such a short time.  From the first day of his audition, I couldn't wait myself to hear his voice the following week, wondering what is he giong to sing next?  For such a young kid, at age 16 auditioning,and turning 17 during American Idol, he sure has a career ahead of him, and he deserves it with that wonderful voice of his. I believe after watching American Idol for at least 6 years now, this is the first year that I am so happy for the one person I have wanted to win, and he acually did win.  I can't wait to hear what song he will be singing next, and I really can't wait to buy that first CD.  Good Luck Scotty!
