Today, Scotty McCreery finally went to pick up his truck which was awarded to him along with the title of season 10's 'American Idol'. Scotty went with the F150 King Ranch!

"I'm just a country boy
I drive a 4 by 4
It's usually covered in mud from the axle to the door
It's a little banged up; a little too much rust, but when you're sitting beside me in my old truck
You make that look good"
HUGE thanks to @Ford today for all their support and providing me with the best truck a guy could ask for! #F150 #KingRanch

Scotty's Christmas Family Traditions

posted by JBfan516

A lot has changed for Scotty McCreery in the six months since he won American Idol. But when he heads home to Garner, N.C., for Christmas, it's what hasn't changed that he's most eager to revisit: candlelight Christmas Eve services at First Baptist Garner; mom Judy's sausage balls; red foil-wrapped presents under the tree; and quality time with his family.

"It'll be nice just being home," says the 18-year-old singer, whose debut album Clear As Day topped the Billboard 200 chart. "I can't wait."
McCreery's also looking forward to digging into the family's annual Christmas feast, including Grandma...

Clear As Day album cover

Set to be released on October 4, 2011, Scotty McCreery's debut album Clear As Day now has a song-by-song available for it and we thought we'd share it with all of the Scotty fans out there looking to know more about the album from the American Idol season 10 winner himself.

1. “Out Of Summertime” (Jonathan Singleton and Tim Nichols)

“’Out Of Summertime’ was one of the three potential singles that I heard when I was still on Idol in the Top Three. It’s a really fun song. It’s about a summertime fair and it’s a teenage love kind of thing. They could have had something, but they...

Scotty Interview:)

Below is a great long interview with Scotty McCreery from myYearbook ! Some of the highlights are that Scotty discusses his motto, writing songs, what he recommends for everyone to experience, and what he hopes that his fans get out of his album! Read it all below:

When did you first discover your voice?

I’ve been singing my whole life. I don’t remember not singing. I think it was around 13 that my voice started changing. It just kind of dropped off; I kind of skipped that cracking phase.

Do you have any childhood memories of singing?

I don’t remember it, but my mom says that when I was a...

posted by JBfan516

Among those waving from a float next Thursday (Nov. 24) will be Scotty McCreery. The American Idol will ride on the Home Baked Goodness float singing "Trouble with Girls."

From Tom Turkey, the balloon that historically launches the parade, until Santa glides in front of Macy's flagship store three hours later, 800 clowns, 27 floats, 1,600 cheerleaders, 44 novelty balloons and 11 marching bands wend their way three miles downtown during Macy's 85th annual parade begins on NBC at 9 a.m.

Like everyone, McCreery has a favorite balloon, and he even relates to it.
"Is there a Charlie Brown one?" he asks. "I love that one! People say, when I was younger I looked like him. When I was young I was chubby -- when I was really, really young."

Scotty Says Home Life Is "Like Nothing Ever Changed"

posted by JBfan516

Your whole life has changed since American Idol. What has stayed the same?
Me personally, I’m still the same. My life at home hasn’t really changed all that much. I just went to school today and when I’m home, it’s all the same and it doesn’t change until I’m out on the road.

When the show wrapped, there were all these rumors about you and Lauren. Are you single now?

I’m still single. I’m a busy man nowadays and I don’t have much time to focus on anything except work.

A couple of weeks ago when you were singing the national anthem, the microphone wasn’t on. What went though...

"Scotty McCreery, a 17-year-old student from Garner, had a deep voice and country twang that helped him convince the American Idol judges that he was their man.

McCreery sang a verse from "Your Man" by Josh Turner at the American Idol auditions in Milwaukee. The audition aired Wednesday night on FOX8.

McCreery received high praise from the judges, including what might be the strangest thing we've heard from Steven Tyler this year.

"Hell fires, save matches, get **** up, and see what hatches," Tyler said.

Jennifer Lopez said McCreery's sound "made her smile." Judge Randy Jackson also praised the North Carolina native.

"Dude, at sixteen, I'm so impressed," said Jackson. "There's promise for America yet!""

Scotty Says "I Don't Do Drama"

CMT pointed out that Scotty McCreery is known for his calm-cool-and-collected appearance and asked the star if his laidback personailty was a common trait in the McCreery family.

"I don't know about common. We've got a lot of hard workers, and I'm a hard-working dude, but I don't let stuff get to me. I mean, I don't do drama. Don't bring it to me because I'm going to send it back to you. I just take life and run with it. That's what you've got to do."
When asked whether he had made a conscious decision to not be involved in drama, or if he had just always been that way, Scotty replied saying:...

Scotty Says Relationships are "Like A Little Puzzle"

posted by JBfan516

The trouble with girls, says Scotty McCreery, is that nobody loves trouble as much as he does. So even when said girls are a mystery and a puzzle and so dang pretty and are busying stealing you with hello and killing you with goodbye, he still loves them.

"They're funny ... you know? You just never know what they're thinking, and they never know what we're thinking as guys, but that's what kinda makes that relationship thing and the girls and boys thing pretty cool," McCreery said in a recent radio interview. "So it's kind of like a little puzzle. Like the song says, you've just gotta figure it out sometimes." And figure it out we will now that his "The Trouble With Girls" video has debuted on CMT.

Lyrics Were Rewritten For Scotty

Brian Wright, head of A&R at Mercury Nashville, talked with The Hollywood Reporter about Scotty McCreery who signed with the record label (along with runner-up, Lauren Alaina) after winning the tenth season of 'American Idol'.

However, finding the right songs for McCreery proved to be a bit of a challenge, with some song lyrics needing to be changed in order to be more appropriate for the 18 year-old. .

“In country music, artists are expected to sing about cheating and drinking and that kind of stuff,” Wright explains. “But obviously, with them being so young… well, it was an issue....

Garner, N.C. — For more than a year, Garner’s Scotty McCreery has been living amid the hype of “American Idol.” The Season 10 winner went on an international tour, recorded an album and filmed music videos.

Now, he is trying to do one more thing – graduate high school.

Scotty says baseball is "Gonna be rough"

posted by ImUnbroken

Did you know that Scotty McCreery has been on his high school baseball team for the last three seasons? OK, he had to miss last season because of obligations to some American Idol television show he was doing.

But Scotty tells ABC News Radio that—after he gets off the Brad Paisley tour in March—he will return to the fighting Trojans of Garner Magnet High School in North Carolina for his senior season.

And they didn't just give him his spot back: Scotty had to try out.

"Singing don't really mean you can really play ball well. So, they had to see if I had a little something left in me," he said.

"I have a feeling, though, it's gonna be rough. I'm a pitcher, so I have a feeling when I get on the mound guys are gonna be taunting me and stuff. I'm just gonna blow it off and strike 'em out!"
