Scotty McCreery asks 'Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)?' on 'American Idol'



For the Inspirational Songs half of the "American Idol" Top 4 performances, Scotty McCreery chose Alan Jackson's 9/11 anthem "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)." What did you think?

It was very much in his Scotty lane, but he knows himself and his fanbase, so it was a completely brilliant song choice. We don't doubt his sincerity - his emotions were palpable during the performance - but it was also a very calculated play on somebody's part.

The judges were complimentary, though not leaping out of their chairs. Randy says he's on his way to super-stardom and J.Lo says she's in love with him. What do you think? Good Scotty? Or best Scotty so far?

Tacky.

Good song and he did it well.

I'm looking for wine and crackers right now.

Brilliant! He is the next Alan Jackson.

I'm looking for wine and crackers right now.

Well done. But does anyone ever feel with Scotty that the background music kind of drowns his voice out..it's like he doesn't sing loud enough and at times it's like the background music is leading him. But I didn't feel that with his second Song choice..because he was having fun.

Chills.

How is it tacky Larry? Scotty was watching the news after Bin Laden was shot and tweeted about it all last week. 9/11 was something that had bothered him after rewatching it on the news last week and tweeted about it. I am glad he sang the song so dummies like you Larry won't forgot it.

Larry, you are the tacky one.

There was nothing more American than that, he got the most votes without doubt. He is the idol for the rednecks, patrotics and country fans.
