《美國偶像》是美國拉動收視率的代名詞,其冠軍也是iTunes下載量中的佼佼者。之前的冠軍如凱莉·安德伍德、珍妮弗·哈森都成為了非常出色的歌手,她們的唱片也十分受歌迷愛戴。這次的冠軍是17歲的小男孩斯考迪·麥克柯里依,他的鄉村音樂感覺非常好。而這次正逢學院派支持鄉村音樂的時節出道可謂恰倒好處。看戰前女神樂隊在格萊美上的風光程度,再看小天后泰勒·斯威芙特專輯的銷量;就可以看出學院派對鄉村音樂人求賢若渴,而聽眾對好的鄉村音樂也很支持。而斯考迪·麥克柯里依正是鄉村音樂方面的天才。看著斯考迪的娃娃臉,你很難把這張臉與聲音豐富、微妙的男中音歌唱家並列在一起,然而每次他的上場都讓觀眾有這樣的矛盾。而這一矛盾最終催生了這位娃娃臉冠軍。他是《美偶》史上年齡最小的男冠軍。在美偶的舞台上他的決勝單曲就是《I Love You This Big》,比賽之前他說,這首單曲並不足以表現其潛能,但是這是一個能把他展現給世人的作品。這支簡單但是富有節拍的單曲為斯考迪創造了能夠把他豐富的聲音展現出來的機會,並且單曲中的舌音(“I know I look a little crazy”)也把他古怪的表情表現的淋漓盡致。單曲的歌詞也能看出眼界廣闊、年輕的躁動以及深沉和機智。從這兩點來看,《I Love You This Big》比勞倫的《Like My Mother Does》高明許多。這也是為什麼斯考迪能夠拿到冠軍的原因吧。
歌詞
I know I'm still young
But, I know how I feel
I might not have too much experience
But, I know when love is real.
By the way my heart starts pounding
When I look into your eyes
I might look a little silly
Standing with my arms stretched open wide.
I love you this big
Eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big
I'll love you to the moon and back
I'll love you all the time
Deeper than the ocean
And higher than the pines.
Cause girl, you do something to me
Deep down in my heart
I know I look a little crazy
Standing with my arms stretched all apart.
I love you this big
Eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big
So much bigger than I ever dreamed my heart ever would
I love you this big
And I'd write your name in stars across the sky
If I could, I would
I love you this big
Oh, eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big
I love you this big
Oh, eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big
