Scotty McCreery American Idol Staying Power and His Success

American Idol begins it's eleventh season tonight on fox. The hit show will return with no major changes to it's format. Even with other singing competitions trying to compete for the Amercian Idol audience, American Idol still reigns as UNSTOPPABLE. But, the question to many head scratchers, is why?

What draws more people to watch American Idol than any other television show in our country? Well, last year it was the 17 year old Garner North Carolina Native, who with his deep baritone voice and charming personality stole the hearts of young and old. Can American Idol pull off another "Scotty" winning season. All the fun begins tonight on FOX.

FROM AZ CENTRAL (Thanks for he heads up in the comment section about this article) 

"American Idol" has survived changes in the judging panel, competition from "The X Factor" and "The Voice" and even Brian Dunkelman (co-host with Ryan Seacrest during the first season).

There's a reason, says executive producer Ken Warwick: The show exemplifies the concept of the American dream.

Q: Last season Scotty McCreery won and has been successful. Two years before, it wasn't the same for winner Lee DeWyze. Why is that?

A: Scotty just appealed to a big audience. That country audience down South is huge. Scotty just absolutely fit the keyhole that he was made for. He was young, good-looking, a sportsman, a wholesome kid and he had this lovely, rich bass-baritone voice. We always say to these kids: It's not that you can sing, but have you got something about you that you can communicate commercially? Scotty was really made for the show. He was a slam dunk

Q: So it doesn't hurt the show's reputation when the winner doesn't have a hit-making career?

A: I can honestly say we start the show every year with a fresh feeling. We've done 11 series; some series are not as good as other series. Last year was a great series.  <-- I MUST AGREE :)

     It's hard to believe that one year ago, we all were introduced to Scotty. What a year it's been!!

Scotty said he would be, I know I will be.  Chat will be open tonight, for those that would like to watch and chat.  If your on a different time zone, than it would be a spoiler for you, unless you watch online.  You can watch online (I have to find the link) when I do I will add it to this post.
