Scotty McCreery, Season 10 Winner
Country favorite Scotty McCreery impressed judges with his authentic country voice and incredibly low singing range. So when he beat out Lauren Alaina in the finals of American Idol Season 10, both fans of the show and the judges were not surprised, given that he was usually a favorite throughout the entire season. Amazingly, after his win, 3 of his singles even went platinum, and all of this started when he was just 17-years of age.
