Scotty McCreery - Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning) - American Idol 2011 Top 4 (HQ)

[mrsKJ2008]

hes got a beautiful voice but im sorry scotty, i still prefer alan jackson

[bizarrefruit]

"Where were you when the-ran-out-of-stuff-to-build the ladder to heaven". Haha!

To be honest, the original song was awful, this guy may be a great singer but after singing "where were you when that thing happened that's going to make you cry and give me money".

America and it's ideology give me tooth ache and if I actually ever lived there I would die of diabetes within weeks.

Apologies guys, 9/11 was tragic but the way people act about it makes the emotion feel phoney and fake.

[charriotsoffire1]

that was awsome

[DestinyAnn1]

What a voice!

[ADayToRemember024]

i voted for him 381 times. in the finals. <3

[NHL0615]

[kennyrockin]

[jerryt9789]

beware guys,there are a group of teens online,calling themselves,Haley haters Scotty haters and Lauren haters.what the truly are is a bunch of troubled teens trying to get attention by making people angry, they don't even care about the music .they have been reported along with their IP addresses. do not acknowledge them just use the report button on the right

[chuggggggy]

[randomproductioms]

[inotakayanagi]

Scotty is amazing...his voice, his looks, his attitude...and everything about him seems to have its own unique charisma which draws people to him....When you're doing nothing and you sit down at a corner while listening to his song....you'll realize how great his voice is....its...fantastic...mesmer­izing....His voice is the one I want to hear everytime I retire on bed....hmmm...cool....

[margg23]

hope You will win Scotty:) 

[bigrob40]

i fell in love with his voice from his first song. He melts girls and women!

[arbice131313]

im like in love with this man:)

[TaySwift13fan]

@liv2ryd21

Wow,were u really yawning when u heard the heart breaking news that a mass murderer hundreds maybe thousands of people? Were u really yawning when u found out that maybe someone u knew was probably dead? Where were YOU when the world stopped turning?

[bizarrefruit]

@TaySwift13fan You know, you think you're righteous for acting that way but that is a sick thing to do: to suggest someone doesn't care just because they aren't touched by some CRAP song that was designed to capitalise on the fact that you guys still think 9/11 was the worst tragedy EVER to happen.

Any idea about what's going on in Libya at the moment?

3000?

EVERY DAY more people die of atrocities in countries that most of you couldn't point out on a map.

9/11 was awful, but not the worst.

[mmquit]

@bizarrefruit Economic crisis after started after 9/11, hundreds of thousands lost their job... US, EUROPE, and ASIA. everyday life is a survival.

[62Drusilla]

It's a very inspirational song.

Welll done Scotty!!!

62Drusilla

[sion369369]

Love him

[liv2ryd21]

*yawn*

[bie2414]

@liv2ryd21 You wouldn't have been "yawning" if it was a member of your family in the 3000 plus lives that were lost that day! "McGranny"

[liv2ryd21]

@bie2414 I was yawning at his terribly boring performance. Me hating this monotonous song/singer/performance does not equate to me being insensitive of the ACTUAL events and the millions of lost loved ones. So DON'T put words in my mouth. This video has nothing to do with the actual events that happened in 9/11, and you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to guilt me into liking this propaganda fueled crap song.

[45pokemonlover]

@liv2ryd21 shut up la

[suzie194]

love his voice....he will win.....

[deb2433]

you should all be ashamed of your selfs, this is a 17 year old with amazing voice and i dont live in the south,i been and its very pretty there and my best friend lives in tn and she likes rock,so no is to judge.its a fact scotty can sing and i hope he wins

[0345Lollipop]

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK SCOTTY HAS NOTHING ON HALEY!!!!!! ;D

[jeffyjeffyjeffy]

o god his voice is terrible

[deb2433]

@jeffyjeffyjeffy do u need me to send u some Q tips,my god the young man can sing or he wont be in the top 3

[TheCountrygurl1989]

I love scottys voice hes the next Josh Turner and i absolutly love him too i am hoping the final 2 are laren and scotty i dont like haley she growls 2 dang much in her sons..GO SCOTTY AND LAUREN

[Brezable]

Fuck i hate cuntry.

That this guy is still a contender means only one thing... theres ALOT of white trash there in the south.

[2005LFDY]

@Brezable i am not WHITE and I LIVE IN THE SOUTH so don't say the south has alot of white trash!!!!!!

[jbiann06]

I LIKE HIS unique VOICE

[taikukaikei]

he has no voice

[ZuhairiRamliee]

For what ever reason, I do not want him to win. :)

[mamalety49]

I remember that day so clearly. Thank you Scotty for including Scarlett in this lovely song. GO SCOTTY ..... BESOS

[spiralstar1]

I like how he does a mix of the guitar country songs and more upbeat songs like his second performance he did

[Lburke52110]

go scotty,,from bobby and his mom

[cyndi1961]

booooring, he puts me to sleep.

[PRO5017]

@cyndi1961 Then don't watch american idol you know Haley gives me a headache

[brianchhangte]

I am so glad that fake Rocker James is gone...His voice is too soft to sing rock !!!

[bie2414]

@brianchhangte It is a toss-up w/ Scotty& James's talent wise!!! They both stayed true to their genre! Give James & Scotty a break! Go to Haley's sites & post garbage!! Haley has some rude, crude fans !!! Just like her voice & attitude!! Rough, growling, rasping self-serving DIVA !! Her aura is so apparent!!! Negative... Go to Haley's sites & leave Scotty & James alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from "McGranny" Blessings to Scotty & James!!

[brianchhangte]

@bie2414 Well..Did i say i dont like Scotty ? Scotty is my favorite and i am rooting for him to win..im just simply saying i don't like James and his music..FYI the three finalists are the ones i want to be finalists and even though i want Scotty to win..if he misses out it would not be too bad for me as Lauren and Haley are still my second and third choice !!!

[LushShines]

Ok, dont get me wrong, Scotty is FREAKING AMAZING, no lie. But he should have gone home hands down compared to James. James is amazing, and there is no question there. Seriously. 

[Falcon82466]

@LushShines Haley. Should've gone home, Pia should be in Haley's spot, Top 4 should've been Pia, Lauren, Scotty, and James, and then it would've been a hard decision from there.

[RylieandRilee]

@Falcon82466 Definitely! Haley can't carry out a note without screaming or growling.

[Falcon82466]

@RylieandRilee Thank you, I have no idea why so many people back up Haley, she sucks, Obviously the judges would know, they're the fuckin judges. They had to give her a good rep on the second song because of publicity, it was all pity.

[LushShines]

@Falcon82466 I do not think that is what should have happened. For sure, Pia should be in this competition, but Scotty should have taken her spot (dont get me wrong, I LOVE scotty), well top 5 should have been Scotty, James, Hayley, Lauren, Pia. So Hayley is amazing, and she has what it takes to win.

[peeweewuv]

I want Scotty to win so bad

[1300176]

@peeweewuv me too

[FatalCrysis]

Scotty's the best, but haley should of went home last night, not james

[haleyandemma100]

@FatalCrysis i think haley actullay did pretty good but the judges dont seem to like her. in my opinion lauren desverd to go home then james

[PRO5017]

@haleyandemma100 HALEY SHOUD'VE GONE HOME THE BARBIE DOLL HAS AN ANNOYING VOICE AND BESIDES UR JUST JELOUS THAT LAUREN IS BETTER THAN U AND HALEY

[haleyandemma100]

@PRO5017 umm okay well someone has an anger problem and i like lauren and haley is that a problem? anyways its my opinion aand im intitlesd to it

[haleyandemma100]

@PRO5017 umm okay well someone has an anger problem and i like lauren and haley is that a problem? anyways its my opinion aand im intitled to it

[Falcon82466]

@FatalCrysis OMG A BILLION THUMBS UP.

[samantha7ish]

I've never fallen in love with some one I never met until scotty started singing. Then with his gorgous blue eyes!!! His the most perfect throw-back sountry christian in the world. I LOVE SCOTTY!!!

[Yesitdid]

SCOTTY YOU BETTER WIN OR ELSE THAT BITCH HALEY WILL TAKE OVER THE PLANET!

[haleyandemma100]

@Yesitdid shes not the b bomb cuz she can sing. i bet u wish u could sing like her so dont be dissin her

[archieforlife]

i love you scotty :D you're the best country singer in the world especially for the age of 17!!!!!!! we all love you, you have the best fans :) we hope you make it until the end!!! greetings from cali :)

[wtfudowenmusic3]

I wanted scotty to win from the first time I heard him try out, but my favorite was Hollie Cavanagh, hands down, I think she has a better voice than anyone this season, it just sucks that she was young and shy. She did a cover of rolling in the deep that I think was better than adele or haley. I hope she tries out again next year. Here is the link to the song if anyone wants to hear something amazing...

/watch?v=tgnksedcQWg

[LitZena]

Scotty you are the best! I was thrilled with the results, my faves in order always have been 1. Scotty!!!!!! 2. Haley!!!! 3. Lauren!! I was hoping they would be the top three!

[PolitcalIslam]

@LitZena Mine were 1. Karen 2. Pia 3. Scotty.... I was way off. Karen really screwed herself with weak performances two weeks in a row and was hispanic, so she really deserved to go home early.

[matadormike1970]

James was screwed over I still think Scotty is the best but Lauren or Haley should have gone home they both had flawes in one of their songs



[ringosgirl28]

sad james got off BUT SUPER HAPPY THAT SCOTTY STAYED ONNN!!!!! im a james and scotty fan lol

[ringosgirl28]

@dozie85 omg i love SCOTTY!!!!! country is a type of music and it is NOT only for countryfied hilbillys and rednecks i live in the city and i happen to lovelovelove country music AND SCOTTY!!!!! His voice is amazing and unique id like to here u sing like that k? so I would back off if i wer u and btw if u hate scotty so much WHY ARE U WATCHING THIS VIDEO HUH?!

[livinginexiletheband]

I HATE this song and really dislike Scotty but before you say I'm "unAmerican", I do like the Star Spangled Banner so fuck off.

[dozie85]

i'm just gonna say for the record.. america as a whole.. has NO FUCKING MUSICAL TASTE.. NO SOUL

[preppychic98]

@dozie85 that counts as you too..if you dont like Scotty's voice, then you DEFFINATELY have NO EFFIN MUSICAL TASTE AND NO SOUL AS WELL..(:

[kennyrockin]

@dozie85 shut up

[dozie85]

i guess america wants ANOTHER dry yocal that sings out of his nose.. makes me sick.. a guy like casey who has soul flowing out of his vocal chords gets booted but this country crap stays on.. fuckin awesome

[FatalCrysis]

@dozie85 What are you crying about? Theirs only been 1 country winner throughout I think around 8 or 9 seasons.

[kennyrockin]

@dozie85 ur so dump

[sammy5449]

i love the song he chose i love his voice he so cute &he jus has it he's gona go along way i just cant w8 to c who wins i like them all

[mayjawad]

Love this Kid.

[tteets7522]

i liked james too bad he got voted off

[mamalety49]

@FluffySeshy01......do you eat and kiss with this filthy mouth? It's pathetic how many people use YouTube to vent because are leading miserable lives. This are just young kids following their dreams. A lot of you James fans need ANGER MANAGEMENT, you make me glad that I am not a James fan.

[avraine12]

o.m.g....the favorite song of my brother...who were already in heaven....and also the favorite contestant in A.I.....haitx...

[mocomic221]

believe me these two country singers will remain on the top 2... haha... it's a horrible scene...

[laurenkaywiegandxp]

scotttyy is amazing, so people stop please(:

james was not goood. so drop itt!!

scotttty,i love you♥

[Renzic18]

IF SCOTTY WIN...SUPPORT HIM FOR HIS CAREER..BECAUSE PEOPLE IN AMERICA WILL VOTE FOR THE WINNER AND THEN AFTER WINNING IDOL WILL NOT SUPPORT THE WINNER JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPEN TO KRIS ALLEN AND LEE DWAYZE THEY HAVE SO MANY FANS IN IDOL TIME BUT AFTER WINNING IDOL..THEY VANISHED..

[Traysaysay]

@Renzic18 dude ur so right!!!! its like they congratualte them when they win.. then they go home..haha

[bigrob40]

I love Scotty!!! The power of music is not just high notes. It is something that can grow in people's hearts. Scotty has got this power, let music grow in our hearts!!!

[AeroShylph]

Wow the comments full of complaints because James was voted off O.o Personally there was no one who did this week perfectly so it wasn't really a surprise for me. But still I love Haley (haha sorry to be out of the topic a bit) :P

[crobarus]

Alan Jackson wants his voice back

[Wannabepro1]

He was VOTED BY THE PEOPLE RIGHT? SO HE STAYS IN!

[blazinpok]

@fluffyseshy01 So did I! So... FUCK YOU SCOTTY James was the best!

[FluffySeshy01]

i came to this video just to say FUCK YOU SCOTTY!

[Mikkixox9]

@FluffySeshy01 you came to this because you have no life, why don't you do something productive with your time?

[FluffySeshy01]

@Mikkixox9 you replied. so it was productive. haha!

[Mikkixox9]

@FluffySeshy01 so it was productive of your time because of my reply.... wow you must have the most INTRESTING life!

[FluffySeshy01]

@Mikkixox9 Actually yes. I do.

[Mikkixox9]

@FluffySeshy01 ha

[DoctorChibi740]

Sanjaya 2011, ladies and gentleman.

[SunnyFloridaWoman]

Amazing performance!!! Mt problem this season is that I like each of the final four-;) Whatever occurs later, Scotty will have an amazing career..long one, too.

[emilytennis22]

Scotty <3

[KevinsVAIO]

Scotty is good, but Haley is amazing. Its kind of sad that 13 year old girls all over America are controlling this show. Casey, James, and Haley are unbelievably talented, now lets hope the fans all come together and vote for Haley

[flan6]

haley and lauren <3

[lovethecubs98]

scotty and lauren <3

[Twinkiesize]

@jack 4391 haha obviously nott!!

[lewis3265]

YOu know I'm not much for country music, I was would have voted more for the rockers, but Scotty is just amazing.

[italiancutiepie100]

scotty you make my heart beat ten times faster i will vote 50 times next week to make sure you make it

[Autumnsmile900]

I love James, Scotty, Hayley and Lauren. But to be honest, I'd be mad if Scotty won. I LOVE him. But he is more of a "Final 2 runner up" At this point, I believe Lauren should win it all. She is so real! But I know for a fact I will be buying all of Scotty's records, shirts, and posters.

[lilbearx3]

Anyone else feel sad because James left??He did it for him family!!He got made fun of and bullied!!Then he made it this far to leave???Thats not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EmilyS128]

@lilbearx3 those were my EXACT feelings. but i feel that Jo-Lo will pull a few stings and get him a record deal. did you see her crying? Randy gave Pea a record deal; I feel like he'll give James one

[ryansisters1]

@lilbearx3 IKR IM SOOO MAD THIS IS LIKE THE WHOLE PIA SITUATION AGAIN

[bih1011]

he looks like george bush young days but good singer

[19VANIKA]

can't believe he made it to top 3. I'm so pissed. THis was suppose to be the Durbin and Haley show kmt

[demdebsf]

Where's the country singer writing about Obama's bagging Osama Bin Laden, the bad guy??? Huh, country singers???? Where's the song?? If it were Bush,they'd be writing songs. Just sayin'.

[zcaz23]

@demdebsf Country singers are generally more educated than mainstream liberal media-drones, Obama didn't kill Osama, the Seals did.

[gnarlyincubus]

I thought it was so wrong of him to take advantage of the situation (I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about) like that. How is this inspirational? The vocal was abosolutely nothing special, and the judges praise him because he's singing about a tragic event.

It's more like a pity song.

I hated 9/11 and I love Jesus, so if you do too then vote for me? I mean really?

This is almost insulting..

[jraymoreify]

I'm sleep..

[62Drusilla]

This is a great song choice by Scotty. He is a great country singer but his second song choice was bad so he may go home.. this was great but song nr. 2 ''young blood was not good..

Love Scotty though

62Drusilla

[dxclovur]

<3 Oh hai Scotty! :)

[bornforriding]

lol. go scotty and lauren. suck THIS up haley.

[alishajoh]

Love this song!!!

[spellxboundxdreamer]

Scotty is the BEST thing since sliced bread!!!!! So I hope @PhReShx10 tv goes out in a freak accident and it prolongs them to not being able to see who goes home. I can PROMISE you it's NOT gonna be SCOTTY!!!! Loser-face!

[floridagirl20111]

if he goes home tonight it show america is really crazy cause if he goes home after that song it was meant for 9/11 setember 11 2001 so if he goes home i will not have respect for america cause if u people not vote for him then wow u people need serious help

[shipsandsluts]

@floridagirl20111 9/11 has nothing to do with his singing ability. If he goes home it's because he didn't sing as well as the other contestants. Voting for him doesn't make us patriotic, knock it off.

[arikeer]

His voice is just beautiful. Reminds me of Randy Travis...

[kaner8819]

Love It! this was amazing!

[VaCherokeeMama]

I am not the biggest fan of country music, but I think this kid is going to really make a name for himself....a natural!

[bie2414]

America's Idol right there!!  Blessings to Scotty & his family>3

[Jacobsmomma22]

He is in to win

[PhReShx10]

I hope he goes home tonight...

[EpicUploader123]

@PhReShx10 Fuck you!

[PhReShx10]

@EpicUploader123 Shut the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
