American Idol 2012: Will Jessica Sanchez battle Reed Grimm in the end?
American Idol 2012 has some fierce competitors but early predictions about which of the men and women have what it takes to go all the way to the end have already begun. Since the folks at Fox split the top 24 into a girls team and a boys team, people are wondering which of the men could be a competitor and which of the women will have the strength to compete with the boys. Since Scotty McCreery beat out Lauren Alaina for the right to call themselves the American Idol champ, it looks like there are two big voices to beat in the 2012 season — Jessica Sanchez from the girls team and Reed Grimm (he’s the man to try to catch).

American Idol Scotty McCreery has a bromance crush on NFL star Tim Tebow
American Idol winner Scotty McCreery fan might not be a fan of the Denver Broncos, but he certainly had flattering things to say about Tim Tebow while he watched football on Sunday January 9th, 2012. Tebow’s name went on fire when presidential hopeful Rick Perry (the Governor of Texas) gave him big props during the presidential GOP debates a few weeks ago. The republican tried to compare himself to the winner — but fumbled in his speech again. After trying to come off as cute, Christian, and quick witted he botched his attempt at glib jibe. Scotty McCreery pulled of complimenting Tim Tebow the right way, however. On Twitter. Keep reading…

Did Scotty McCreery really spend the holidays with Lauren Alaina?
Since rocketing to the top two spots on American Idol for their country music performances, rumor mills reports have been swirling about singers Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina dating … and even marrying. McCreery joked that he would marry competitor and runner-up Alaina in 2022, and Alaina in a radio interview prodded him further, asking, “Did you tell someone we were getting married in 11 years?” McCreery offered a quiet affirmative, says website Touch of Country, but offered nothing further. But that was then and this is now. Might the two celebrity singers offer fans a true love story in 2012 after this holiday season? Keep reading…
Celebrity OOPS: Scotty McCreery, Avril Lavigne caught doing bad lip sync
Because so many singers these day make great albums with the help of recording studios (who fix their pitchy tunes and give them back up singers and remixed vocal support), both Scotty McCreery and Avril Lavigne are two star celebs you could see live in person. If they took the stage with nothing but a guitar and a mike, their acts would most likely sound spot-on perfect. But both star celebs mess up when it comes time to lip sync lyrics. The American Idol winner and pop music singer missed their music cues to sing during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Want to see the video clips? Keep reading…
