The Soundcloud streams from Interscope for all his 3 albums have been posted. There are Soundcloud streams of his Idol performances from Interscope. Should we post these as well or just focus on post-Idol stuff? I know many of us have been with Scotty since day one and are familiar with his idol performances. I am thinking now about those who discovered him later. Wouldn't it be wonderful for them to hear top quality audio of his Idol performances in this format? Especially since Fremantle has eliminated so many videos of those performances on the Web due to copyright laws. Just my opinion! Question - If I try to listen to the album using my email do i have to join Spotify and pay a fee?

I joined awhile ago, but I think you automatically get the free version. They ask if you want to upgrade, but there's payment stuff you would need to go through so I don't think you can "accidentally" get the paid version. There are ads since you have the free service. Also, the Spotify program will need to be downloaded onto your computer/tablet. I was hesitant of posting the Idol performances because I think many of the streaming services we are using because it helps Scotty's sales and I was unsure if we should focus on those. However, I can post them so we can hear the performances.

Some of those songs were on his EP so would they benefit Scotty? That's what I'm getting at. It would probably benefit 19 mostly because it was recorded while the show was on. As a contestant, I wonder if Scotty would benefit at all? I'd rather encourage streaming of songs we know would help Scotty.

If these Idol performances are the versions from Scotty's Idol compilation CD, then that album only credits 19 as the label. As I said before, I was hesitant in posting his Idol performances because I think we should focus on streaming the stuff from his 3 post-Idol albums for sales. Right now, I will not post the Idol performances on this thread since there seems to be dissenting opinion. If people are interested in the performances, I am wondering if I can post it on Scotty's Idol performances Video thread (even though they're not videos). Maybe the thread name can be changed to Scotty's Idol performances Media thread. We wouldn't need to start a new thread for the Soundcloud Idol performances and we can also post old articles and other media about Scotty's Idol performances while he was a contestant.

THIS, THIS THIS!! Scotty is trying to more or less distance himself from IDOL and win fans as a Country Artist, not AI alum.

The "Scotty's Idol performances while on the show" is in the Video Board. I see no harm in leaving it there and just adding these links there even though they are audio only. Performances while on Idol covers what they are.

Dot that is the place to put the audio links.

Dot that is the place to put the audio links. Yes, as we have seen in concert tweets, there are some concert-goers who did not watch American Idol and have never heard of Scotty. The Idol stuff might be of interest to people like that, but I agree that it needs to be de-emphasized. Scotty is a bonafide country star now, leaps and bounds above where he was when he won the show!!!

"Southern Belle" is up on Spotify. Streaming helps Scotty's sales.
