Mercury Nashville has officially signed Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina. Wonder who's going to get fired over that one. Scotty's single does seem to have debuted well on country radio at first glance, breaking the record for "highest debut by a new artist." But if you look into it, the last person to break the record was Nashville Star season 2 winner Brad Cotter. And what happened to him? Has anyone even heard of him? We do hope for hilarity's sake that Scotty gets a small career out of this that will be fun to track. The hicks seem to be eating the Scotty music up so far. Unfortunately for Lauren, it looks like not much is happening with her except massive amounts of airbrushing for her promo pictures. 124,000 digital downloads of a song is kind of sad for someone who was just on a TV show with 20 million people watching.

Reading that, all I can think of is-


Welcome back,

Your dreams were your ticket out.

Welcome back,

To that same old place that you laughed about.

Well the names have all changed since you hung around,

But those dreams have remained and they're turned around....


Yeah we tease him a lot cause we've got him on the spot, welcome back,

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

I see this going very far. Like until the end of the month and everyone realizes they voted Howdy Doody the winner and a blob of anthropomorphic jelly as the runner-up and can't stand to listen to their music anymore. (Not that it looks like that many people were able to stomach their crap to begin with. shock)

Well, it's simply the novelty of them just being on TV. Scotty may just have a chance at doing well in the country area, because he really does have a good country voice. However, if he does not, it'll be because he's too young to sing about being a drunk in bars, or all the trashy whores he likes to bang. CF will simply fade into oblivion.

Ha ha! I love these two losers. Good job, Nigel pimping these two future utter failures. Thanks Idol for adding Scotty to your long line of underachievers.

Hell, even Scotty's 'record breaking' 173k is still less than 1% of 20 million.

It's hardly a surprise if they do well.. Country music has such low standards. Any idiot with a guitar and a fake southern accent can get rich off all the rednecks...

Hell, you don't even need that much. If they'll take a fucking Canadian like Shania Twain and treat her as one of their own, well, there you go.

The lack of enthusiasm about Lauren and Scotty is hardly surprising. I think Nigel just wanted to offload them as quickly as possible.
