After listening to it a couple of times it's growing on me. The studio version is better than the live version. WOW just looked and I can't believe he's #1 on iTunes WOW

Wow, this is the guy that won Idol? I could barely make it through this. I like his voice well enough, it goes flat a few times on the first verse, but otherwise he sounded good, but this song is awful. From the pseudo-traditional production to the cringe-worthy lyrics this is just plain bad. I know the Idol winner has to put out a song that has mass appeal, but if he really wants to be a country singer, I just don't see this being a hit.

The Idol coronation singles are almost never good and almost never indicative of who the winner will be as an artist.

I'm not a fan of AI , but can respect the talent of almost all its winners and contestants in general. This guy seems VERY generic to me however . I'm almost embarrassed that this years winner is a country performer but seems so unremarkable.

It peaked at #52 on the Country charts, Then JTTW came and peaked at #1 for 6 weeks... So, these singles never show any signs of what an artist will do afterwards. It's just to get them started at radio and to help keep them relevant until their real music comes. Although the songs never seem to last past June... lol

I was there at the RBC Center in Raleigh last night where Ryan was going Live to. Over 8000 fans there and it was the biggest turnout every for a finalist in the finale during the live show, even more than Carries was. Over 120 million votes and Scotty won! It's such a great thing to see a guy with this much talent and a great voice win. I've been pulling for him all season and I think will be one of Countrys quick rising and stay on the top artists. This first single is the best first song put out ever by a winner. Its not corny and it fits in perfect with radio. It could very well go #1 and the only thing that can keep if from that would be "Those DJs" who are too ignorant to give Scotty a chance just cause he came from Idol. There are those out there and they have already spoke up about it. Remember DJs let US fans decide for you to play this single don't you or your bosses reject it just cause the artist is an American Idol. Scotty is amazing! I predicts CMA in 2012!

This being #1 on iTunes is awesome. It's not a great song, but I downloaded it to support Scotty. I wonder where it will debut on the Hot 100?

If it falls sometime today, top 10. Still amazing. Unless he gets some serious airplay it won't be #1. I predict #7, and Lauren #10... just to fit them both in there ;)

Last time I looked Scotty's single was #1 and Lauren's #3 on Itunes. Good news for them both. I think it was great for country music to have them both in the final. I do prefer Lauren's single though. I like Scotty but not the single so much. I do hope country radio gives them both a chance - we shall see.

do you know where lauren song is on itunes Right now Scotty's still #1 and Lauren is #2. I'm so happy for both of them, the songs are not great but they sound really good on them. And their compilations are #2 (Scotty) and #6 (Lauren).

Yeah, and Jimmy's song is much better than this. I'm not totally sold on either Scotty or Lauren yet, but perhaps with better material I'll be able to appreciate them more. This song does nothing for me...
In the line where he sings "for the rest of my life", I always catch myself jumping into Mark Wills' "I Do (Cherish You)", which is also superior to this song. I hope Scotty does well, though...but this track is just underwhelming.

Now I can stop racking my brain!

Nothing about this song is up to par to compete with what's on the radio, IMO. It's only getting airplay because he's the Idol winner. Which brings me to why I hate Idol so much to begin with so we'll stop there.

These AI kids will only last a few years tops in the biz if that... Just no depth to the music, vocals, their look. This is hilarious to me that so many ppl are suckered into this false representation of what music is! Radio plays it, but it doesn't mean that these AI manufactured songs and kids are quality. Even #1 on sales on itunes doesn't say much. I can't sing worth a darn compared to let's say Miranda Lambert or even Carrie U but I'll tell you...if I was on tv 10 times a year and watched by millions... I'd be popular too. I hope this trend doesn't last long.

Wednesday was the first time I heard Scotty sing, but his voice reminds me a little of Joe Nichols or Josh Turner...
