Sorry, but his second song was drab & dreary.
It never was an exciting song even when it was song by Willie. The essence in that song is in its meaning.Quote:

He did show me a lot of showmanship on the first song. He worked the stage, especially for a 16? year-old kid.
The girls love him. Someone called him a cross between Alred E Newman and Howdy Doody. He's not hot. He's just an all American kid who has a lot of charm and a great voice. I love those low notes!
I'm with Cheryl. He is going to take Nashville by storm.
When she sings with him, that will help him, too...
I loved his first number, but the second song was off key IMO. It didn't seem like he tries to hit the notes very hard. I wish he would.
It is no matter who sings it. I thought he sounded good.Quote:

I thought Scotty did well with both song selections. In fact, I thought he did the best last night vocally. :up
This is how I felt as well. When ever I hear Always on My Mind, I turn the station lol. Willie Nelson is not for me musically to start with. Loved Scotty's first song though. He was having a blast and took us all along for the ride with him.Quote:

Just my little observation, in my little world.
Scotty reminds me of another North Carolinian, who was a big country singer in the 70's and 80's, named Randy Travis.
Here's a link. The voice is even similar.
