American Idol Season 10 has crowned its winner and it's no other than Scotty McCreery during the finale results night held Wednesday, May 25, 2011.

As announced by Idol host Ryan Seacrest, the finale got a record of 122 million votes, with most of the votes received by 17-year-old Scotty McCreery from Garner, North Carolina.

American Idol Season 10 is now on its 2nd to the last episode, with tonight's epi featuring the finale performances of the Final 2: Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.

The face-off of Scotty, 17, and Lauren, 16, are considered the youngest face-off ever on American Idol, but definitely they're not the least when it comes to vocal prowess.

For their finale performances, Scotty and Lauren had to sing 3 songs each: one is their favorite song, another is a song picked by their musical idol (George Strait for Scotty, Carrie Underwood for Lauren) and lastly, an original composition by Jimmy Iovine which will be their first single.

Sotty McCreery first sang his favorite song "Gone" by Montgomery Gentry, then "Check Yes or No" chosen for him by George Strait and finally "Love You This Big", while Lauren performed Katrina Elam's "Flat On The Floor", then the song "Maybe It Was Memphis" by Pam Tillis picked by Carrie Underwood and "Like My Mother Does" for her 3rd song.

American Idol Results: Haley Reinhart eliminated; Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina face off in the finals

American Idol Top 3 Results

American Idol Season 10 Final 2 contenders revealed!

American Idol's last elimination this 10th Season has just happened with Haley Reinhart, the Survivor, being voted off the competition.

I call Reinhart as the Survivor because she managed to reach the American Idol Season 10 Top 3, after being part of the Bottom for at least 4 times, and she was the least favorite finalist during the first eliminations.

While the most shocking eleminations were during the times Pia Toscano and James Durbin were voted off, Haley Reinhart's elimination is the least schocking.

But I really admire Haley's competitive spirit and how she was able to prove her worth in the competition.

That puts Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina in the Final 2 and will face off in the American Idol Season 10 2-part finale happening this Tuesday and Wednesday.

Who's your bet to win this Season? My vote still goes for Scotty McCreery, my 2nd best next to James Durbin, who unfortunately got eliminated last week.
