Us: Now that you’re the American Idol and you're in school, are you still single?
SM: Yeah, I’m still single. I've been single for about three or four years running and nothing's changed. I get the prom proposals in Minnesota when I'll be in North Carolina or the marriage proposals or whatever. It’s definitely a change, but back home it hasn't been too much different.
Us: Now that you’re famous and everything, the most beautiful girl in school isn't throwing herself at you?
SM: I wouldn’t let that happen. I wouldn't let someone who didn't give me the time of day before come back in and me fall for it. People who were my good friends before are my good friends now. There's no hard feelings to people who weren't but I’m not going to fall for that stuff. I'm the same dude. Nothing's changed. My life has changed, but as far as me, as a person, nothing's changed I get the 'hey' in the hallway or a wave or something I wouldn't have gotten before, but nothing too drastic.
Us: How do you handle all the female fans who are coming after you now?
SM: You've just got to take it and run with it. You’ve just got to play along with it. Somebody at one of the shows got down and one knee and said 'Will you marry me?' and put a ring pop on my finger. So I was like, sure, I'll be married to someone for the day. You’ve just got to have fun with it.
Us: What do you look for in a girl?
SM: Just a normal girl. A girl doesn't have to dress up for me 24/7 and always have her makeup on and always be wearing high heels. That's not me. You can come to me in sweatpants and a t-shirt and I'd be alright with that. As far as plans, I'm young and I'm busy so I don't have much time for the dating life. But hopefully it will all settle down eventually and I'll be able to sit down and explore and get out there in the world. But right now I'm a busy dude.
Us: There were all those rumors about you and Idol runner-up Lauren Alaina. Were those ever true?
SM: Nope. Never true and probably never will be true. We are friends but nothing more than that.

What are your thoughts on what Scotty had to say?
Scotty McCreery's note on the track "You Make That Look Good" off of his album "Clear As Day" is:
"This song reminds me of my take on woman. They don't have to be all dressed up and cleaned up and everything, walking around the house. They can look great in a pair of sweatpants and flip flops."
Will you be giving that sond a closer listen?
SM: Yeah, I’m still single. I've been single for about three or four years running and nothing's changed. I get the prom proposals in Minnesota when I'll be in North Carolina or the marriage proposals or whatever. It’s definitely a change, but back home it hasn't been too much different.

Country music artist and reigning "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery will perform for the students of Burlington High School on Monday, Nov. 14.
Burlington won the honor by collecting the most toys in a Toys For Tots contest among area high schools, conducted by country radio station FM 106.1.
From the area high schools that entered, FM 106.1 confirmed five finalists and the collection drive began at Burlington, South Milwaukee, Kewaskum, Greendale and Waukesha West high schools.
The local U.S. Marine Toys For Tots Foundation collected the toys and about one-third of the nearly 10,000 toys came from the Burlington High students.
McCreery will also open for Brad Paisley at the Bradley Center on Friday, Jan 13.

"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 McCreery is getting one heck of an 18th birthday present: His debut album comes out just four days before he turns the big 1-8. Despite being a record-making rookie, this Idol isn’t as green as he looks: Scotty’s vision is Clear As Day.
"Scotty knew what he wanted to record," Universal Music Group Nashville VP of marketing Tom Lord tells Billboard. “He has a really good sense of himself. When you hear the songs you go, 'That seems like the guy I saw on American Idol.'"
Scotty, who is recording with country legend Keith Urban and touring with Brad Paisley next year, wanted to keep it young while acknowledging the history of the genre.
"I could have made a record where I was trying to sound like a 40-year-old country singer, but that's not what I wanted to do," Scotty tells Billboard.
Clear As Day hits stores October 4.
