Congratulations to Scotty McCreery The Wins American Idol 2011

Congratulations to Scotty McCreery, Scotty McCreery is the best, in his new age 17, he succeeded in winning IDOL, Scotty McCreery, 17, became the youngest singer ever to win Idol, taking the prize over rival Lauren Alaina, who's actually one year younger than he.

Over 122 million votes figured into the tally - at least according to unverifiable figures trumpeted by host Ryan Seacrest.

Scotty McCreery, Best of American Idol 2011 

As usual, Wednesday night's event saved the big reveal for the final few minutes, bloating its two hour bulk with guest stars out to piggy back on a ratings colossus. This year's starry list included everyone from Lady Gaga to Beyonce to The Edge and Bono performing a song from "Spiderman." Yet, the peak turned out to be finalist James Durbin in a screech-off with his own idols, Judas Priest.

While the two top singers Wednesday night may boast different genders, they honor the same genre: country. That augers well for the winner's potential as a recording artist. "Idol"'s strongest selling champ to date - Carrie Underwood - caters exclusively to the Nashville sound.

Congratulations to Scotty McCreery, Scotty McCreery is the best, Though McCreery had been favored to win for some time, in some ways his triumph Wednessday night represented an upset. Alaina came into Wednesday night's show with a late breaking advantage. On Wednesday night's final sing-off, all three judges - J.Lo, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson - leaned towards her side. More, Alaina came armed with a triumph-over-adversity story. She lost her voice during Tuesday afternoon's rehearsals, only to regain it through the wonders of modern medicine for the final face-down.

 To boot, Alaina owns the bigger voice - one which actually recalls the iron-lunged Underwood. By contrast, McCreery's strength lies in his velvety tone and deep pitch rather than his ample lungs.

Then again, congratulations to Scotty McCreery, Scotty McCreery is the best,  McCreery had never been considered for elimination in a given week, while Alaina had.

"Idol" itself can be considered a winner this year. While many pundits had left it for dead after the departure of its star meanie Simon Cowell, plus its decline in ratings of ten percent over the previous year, this year's ratings ticked up 4 percent. With an average of 24.9 million viewers, it remains TV's most watched show.

That was hardly a sure thing this season, considering the introduction of two untested judges: J.Lo and Tyler. But the star power of both turned out to be a boon. It also helped that they switched the tone of the panel from judgement to mentoring, thereby purifying the show's cornfed character.

Congratulations to Scotty McCreery
