Scotty McCreery falls off stage while singing “T.R.O.U.B.L.E.”

American Idol 10 winner Scotty McCreery fell off the stage during a front act performance for a Brad Paisley concert at Bethel Woods Center of the Arts in New York.

He fell while he was singing Tavis Tritt’s T.R.O.U.B.L.E. which actually spelled trouble for him during the performance.

The fall wasn’t so bad. It even looked to us like he jumped off. Start watching at 8:14 mark in the video below to see the fall.

Justin Bieber Tops Billboard's "21 Under 21" List

Billboard.com released this year's 21 Under 21 list consisting of some names from last year's list. There are a lot of newcomers, though. Has your favorite made it to the Billboard's list? Check it out below.

Billboard's 21 "Under 21: Music's Hottest Minors 2011" is topped by Justin Bieber who was last year's number 2. And why is he hot? Here's what Billboard has to say:

Why He's Hot: Any way you slice it, Justin Bieber is at the top of the underage set, and in 2011 he gracefully takes our 21 Under 21 crown from now-21-year-old Taylor Swift. Although the Biebs hasn't released a proper album since "My World 2.0" in March 2010, the pop superstar has spent the past year essentially releasing everything else imaginable: an acoustic album, a 3D movie, a memoir, a new fragrance, a singing doll, and a lock of his hair, which became a hot item on eBay. Next up is a Christmas release, an insanely anticipated new album, and more time spent with pop star girlfriend Selena Gomez in between award shows and sold-out arena concerts. It's Justin Bieber's world -- we're just living in it.

And here's the rest of the list:

Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina To Release Debut Albums on October

Now that the music videos for their debut singles have been released, American Idol 10's winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina are geared towards releasing their respective debut albums.

In an interview with Good Morning America (GMA) on August 12 (Friday), Scotty said he's so proud of his upcoming album because he has been working nonstop for it since the American Idol finale. And what are his plans following the album release? "I'm going back to school," he said. "It's my senior year!"

Aside from the interview, the very famous senior high school student sang I Love You This Big on the GMA stage to the delight of fans.

Lauren Alaina was also on GMA but didn't talk much due to bronchitis. She did perform Like My Mother Does well, though.

After AI's finale last May, Scotty and Lauren both signed contracts with Mercury Nashville last June. Scotty's album titled Clear As Day will be released October 4, 2011. Lauren's Wildflower will be out a week after on October 11, 2011.

After Lauren Alaina's music video debut, it's American Idol 10 winner Scotty McCreery's turn. The country crooner's winning song I Love You This Big's music video premiered a little earlier than announced.

In the video, Scotty sings in front of a small audience in an outdoor setting. The fireworks towards the end of the video is lovely, making one long for a summer chill with family and close friends.

Watch Scotty's I Love You This Big music video below.

Scotty McCreery – I Love You This Big (Lyrics)

I know I'm still young
But, I know how I feel
I might not have too much experience
But, I know when love is real.

American Idol 10 Finalists Live in Manila

The American Idol 10 finalists are having a concert here in Manila on September 20, 8 PM, at the Araneta Coliseum. This is the first time that the country is included in the American Idol Live Tour and I'm sure every Idol fan is excited.

There are 11 finalists in season ten because the judges used the "Judges Save" too early (before the Top 10) to save Casey Abrams.

The 11 finalists include the Filipino-American Thia Megia and I think that's reason enough for Pinoys to see the show.

Aside from Thia, other finalists include Scotty McCreery,  Haley Reinhart, Lauren Alaina, James Durbin, Casey Abrams, Jacob Lusk, Pia Toscano, Paul McDonald, Stefano Langone, and Naima Adedapo.

Ticket Prices:

Scotty and Lauren Battle It Out on "American Idol 10" Finale

The last two remaining American Idol 10 contestants Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina battled it out with three rounds (or three songs) this evening. The first song being their favorite performance in the season, second was a song chosen for them, and third was the song that would also be their first single.

Scotty started off the show with Gone, which was his favorite performance. Check Yes or No, the song George Strait chose for him, was his next song. For his final performance, he sang Love You This Big, which therefore became his first official single.

Lauren, on the other hand, chose Flat on the Floor as her favorite performance. She followed it up by Maybe it was Memphis which Carrie Underwood chose for her. Like My Mother Does was her final performance (and first official single).

Check out videos of Scotty and Lauren's performances after the jump.

Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery - American Idol 10's Finalists

Ugh! After an impressive performance last night on American Idol 10, it seemed that America wasn't impressed much on Haley Reinhart's capabilities as a singer. Haley was eliminated tonight, leaving Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina to battle it out next week on the show's 2-part finale.


It can be recalled that the judges all voted for Haley's performance of Led Zeppelin's What Is and What Should Never Be during round one of last night's performances. Her song choices last night, in my opinion, were more interesting compared to Scotty and Lauren's.

But then America has voted, and who are we to question that? Let's just hope it wouldn't be a boring finale next week.

Haley Reinhart Falls On Stage During Her Top 3 Performance

American Idol Season 10 is now down to its Top 3 contestants - Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, and Haley Reinhart. The three performed three songs tonight. The first was their song of choice, second was Jimmy Iovine's choice, and third was the judges' choice.

Haley easily won Round 1, not because she slipped on the stage but because she really impressed everyone with her inner rockstar. She sang What Is and What Should Never Be by Led Zeppelin. Scotty did Lonestar's Amazed and Lauren sang Faith Hill's Wild One. Watch the video below. There's also a slow motion of the fall at the end of the clip.

Round 2 was won 2:1 by Scotty and Lauren. Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson voted for Scotty who did his rendition of Thompson Square's Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not, while Steven Tyler was for Lauren who sang Band Perry's If I Die Young. Sadly, none of the judges voted for Haley's interpretation of Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon.

Round 3 was also 2:1 this time between Lauren and Haley. Steven voted for Haley with her quite angry You Oughta Know version of the Alanis Morissette-original, while Jennifer and Randy went for Lauren's I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack. This time around, no one voted for Scotty's She Believes in Me by Kenny Rogers.

Scotty McCreery sang Elvis Presley's That's All Right on American Idol 10's Top 9 Performance Night. The theme for the week was Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Randy Jackson: This is like a new Scotty, we'd never seen this side...
Steven Tyler: You brought Elvis into the house... You did it well.
Jennifer Lopez: You're having fun with it, you're funny... That's what entertainment is, it should be fun.

Thia Megia and Naima Adedapo are Eliminated on "American Idol 10"

Thia Megia and Naima Adedapo has just been eliminated from American Idol 10. The show had to remove two contestants because no one was eliminated last week. The judges used "Idol Save" on Casey Abrams.

Paul McDonald joined Thia and Naima on the Bottom 3 but he was immediately saved.

In tonight's episode, the contestants were divided in several groups instead of the usual production number. Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery were the first to perform a duet, followed by Jacob Lusk and Naima. Thia, Haley Reinhart, and Pia Toscano did Teenage Dream, and the four remaining boys – James Durbin, Paul, Casey, and Stefano Langone - did a band performance with each of them playing an instrument.

It's just sad that Thia only get little singing parts in every production number. Tonight, she got the whole bridge, but with the other two girls singing along with her.

Oh, well, goodluck Thia. We hope you have more opportunities after AI.

American Idol 10's Top 13 Group Performance

American Idol 10's Top 13 contestants did a Michael Jackson medley for their group performance on the Top 13 Elimination Night.

Among the Michael Jackson songs that they did were Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', Rock With You, Black or White, and Man in the Mirror.

Casey Abrams wasn't present in the performance because he was sick and in the hospital.

Thia Megia and Scotty McCreery sang together and started Rock With You but that was all the part that they got. They could've given Casey's part to the two so they could have had more parts, but no they gave it to someone else as evident in the other contestants having multiple parts.

At least neither Thia nor Scotty went home tonight. Scotty has a big fan base while Thia needs a good song choice to make her standing in the competition more secure.

Come to think of it, Scotty is 16, Thia is 15. And they look good together! What do you say?
