After America get rid of the growling Haley Reinhart, it all finally gets down to the bubble gum chewing Scotty McCreery and the ever boring Lauren Alaina. I don’t know about this, but I just think that this is one (if not the most) boring finale ever on American Idol. This 10th season is a complete wreckage itself! From the judges, to the so-called shocking eliminations, and now the last two contestants standing were 16 year olds and almost in the same genre. I’m no Country fan, but let us hear from the experts of the industry on what they think on these two finalists. The comments below were rather negative, but that’s how the ball rolls around here. Do you agree on each of them? Read on…

“I’m calling in sick the day they bring Scotty by on radio tour. I just know that when the call comes in that they want to bring him in, it will be forwarded to [someone else] STAT!” – Toni-Marie of KUZZ (Bakersfield, CA)

“We already have Josh Turner. Don’t need another one. Take him to another format.” – Tim Jones of WCTQ (Sarasota, FL)

“Scotty just hasn’t demonstrated that he has his own sound. And why the judges haven’t called him on it is beyond me. Oh, wait, that’s right, none of them know a single thing about Country [and Western…]” – Beverlee Branigan, director of country programming for Journal Broadcast Group

“Lauren has a shot if she’s handled correctly. People seem to like her. There will be a curiosity factor on Scotty’s first single. If it isn’t great, that will be it for him.” – Eddie Hatfield of KJJY (Des Moines, IO)

“I think Lauren has a good shot, depending on the tunes they pick for her. She sings very well, and seems to have a great personality too. Scotty seems like a great kid but, honestly, I just don’t hear anything from him that makes him stand out to me. Unfortunately, I think I’ve seen way too much of the videos of him singing ‘Baby lock them doors and turn the lights down low’ for him to be anything other than a Josh Turner sound-alike to me.” – Jim Quinton of WPPL (Blue Ridge, GA)
