American Idol Season 10 winner, Scotty McCreery, appeared live on QVC to croon a few Christmas songs from his new holiday album, Christmas with Scotty McCreery.

He performed “Holly Jolly Christmas”, “Christmas in Heaven” and pulled out some Elvis for a rendition of “Christmas Time Pretty Baby”

QVC was selling a combo of Scotty’s debut album “Clear As Day” with the new album for a special price of $20.52. But only for today! He sold thousands in just the few minutes he appeared on the show!

Watch his performance and interview below.

    Everybody is entitled to his own opinion. Let’s turn the table … what would you feel if its your idol appears on QVC ? Would you not be pleased as well ?

    HSN and QVC are prestigious selling machines on television. As mentioned by others, a lot of big names have used the venue to promote their album.

    Scotty’s fans see no problem with that. The more he sells the faster he gets to nbr 1 in the chart. Way to go Scotty.

    I missed the QVC performance stream and therefore happy to find it posted here. I so enjoyed him and wow at selling thousands of his CD sets in a few minutes. In my eyes it´s a brilliant idea and clever sales strategy to perform on QVC for any artist and esp. for artists who don´t get much radio support. QVC means national exposure and a smart way to get a new album out there before the real start of the holiday and in particular when it is an album which can
    be sold in every future Christmas season to come.

    I suppose the notion that Scotty is “above” hawking his Christmas CD on QVC is a compliment–albeit a left-handed one.  I’ll take it . . . LOL . . . I’ll bet alot of artists would kill to be able to hawk their wares on “low rent” QVC.  Should he be peddling his  CDs at the bastion of yuppieville, Starbuck’s, instead???  It’s all about perception, I suppose.  The reality is that Scotty is taking a pretty laid-back approach to his career, so I’m sure his label will take any opportunity to keep him in the public eye while he records his sophomore album and goes to college.  I think it’s a brilliant move.

    If you watch QVC you probably buy from QVC…if you don’t watch it how would you know if someone is even on it (except for people on some type of reality fan board).  It isn’t like the media picks up on it and lambastes people who are on the show.  Marketing is marketing…from Mall parking lots, to QVC, to local cable channels.  A product doesn’t usually sell itself and performers who are to high fallutin to market their product are those that fall by the wayside very quickly.

    Thought Scotty and the band did a great job on QVC!  He had an opportunity to go on live tv in front of a huge number of viewers to sing, be interviewed and promote his new album and sell both of his CDs.  I don’t really see what is wrong with that.  QVC is not something I watch but there are a lot of people who do.  Looks like he got big sales numbers for a small amount of time.

    It really wasn’t meant as a left handed compliment at all just my point of view about an artist I like. I do get where I sound a bit high brow but it wasn’t my intent.  Bottom line I do not really think it is a big deal one way or the other and I get marketing is marketing but if moving tons of cd’s was all it took for the industry to take you seriously Scotty would have been nominated for a CMA.  I only really wondered if some in the industry would look down on it I dont really know if they would it was just a thought.

    If you don’t move CDs you wouldn’t be taken seriously.  There are thousands of performers out there who are beyond marvelous but if they can’t sell their product no one really cares.  Their are also many, many big time performers who the fans love and who make a very good living and HAVE NEVER won a prestigious award…in fact many have never even been nominated.  And many award winners win once and because they can’t get the sales they just slowly disappear from view.

    I disagree.  There are a lot of disabled people, and people just plain busy, that can’t get to the stores all the time.  QVC and other shopping channels is an essential in our household.  The last 5 yrs. all my xmas shopping has been done online and a lot of it on QVC.  I’ve been a shopping channel buyer since the mid 80s and love it.  Plus, a lot of people don’t know Scotty and a lot of his fans don’t know he has a xmas album.  Why not put him on QVC?  Spread the word!
