Scotty McCreery

An infectious melody drives the former 'American Idol' winner's new song.

It's an emotional tribute.

What a sweet, soulful rendition.

The lyrics to his newest Top 10 hit tell his story better than those who protect an innocent image of him may like.

The song is celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2020, and it still feels relevant today.

The 'American Idol' Season 18 finale will be filled with familiar faces.

Mom, Mother, Mama, Mommy -- whatever she's called, she's played an integral role in these country stars' lives.

Carrie and Scotty rose to country royalty with the help of the reality show, but what about the others?

Scotty McCreery and newcomer Payton Smith will open.

The music business is a high-stakes, high-risk venture, and it's not unusual for things to wind up in court.
