Scotty McCreery Continues to Call Lauren Alaina His "Sister"; Sings on 'Live! With Regis and Kelly'

American Idol winner Scotty McCreery made a guest appearance on Live! With Regis and Kelly today to talk about his run on the hit Fox singing competition and the rumor that continues to circulate that he and Idol runner-up Lauren Alaina are dating.

"We're good friends," Scotty told a very interested Regis Philbin. "I mean, really, we're like brother and sister."

Kelly Ripa was still skeptical, explaining to the 17-year-old country crooner, "My husband and I used to say that about each other, too."

After his interview, Scotty performed his new hit single, "I Love You This Big."
