Scotty McCreery Season 10

[razorbacker]

Cheesy and corny are similar to me. Maybe I don't look at them quite the way you do?
I am not particularly a country fan, but I have never gone out of my way to leave if something comes on the TV or the radio and I am around. In addition, I grew up with a Dad who used to talk about listening to the (old) Grand Ole Oprey.
When I was young, I did watch HeeHaw. That is as corny as you can get, but I have fond memories of all of that.

I don't listen to country now, but it doesn't bother me, and I think that though those folks can give off some corny, cheesy jokes and remarks, (lyrics in their songs sometimes too), at the same time, they give off a vibe that they wouldn't mind if you just joined them in their living room and sat for a while - comfortable.

Having been to CMA Music Fest the past 5 years I can tell you that Country artists are the most down to earth approachable group of entertainers around. They all seem to be nice folks.

Again, if Scotty were a girl, she would get crucified for tilting her head, holding the mic with two hands and propping up her eyebrows. She would be accused of trying to flirt.

Can you imagine if Haley held her microphone like Scotty does. This is exactly what would happen.

[Tammi]

What difference how the kid holds his microphone? All I care about is that I love his voice, he had hold the microphone any darn way he pleases.

Good answer, sweetie! When you purchase Scotty's album you won't see his microphone at all -- so those who are critical of that are just posturing so that anyone will listen!

I hate the thing he does with his face and eyes.

[Gutmutter]

but I love the thing he does with his voice.

I hate the thing he does with his face and eyes.

This is Scotty's first public exposure. Some coach will get hold of him down the line and work with him on what does not come across well.

but I love the thing he does with his voice.

Besides the fact that he is the counterpart to the girl next door, he's Mom, apple pie, and what we like about America. This is what Scotty has going for him, especially when he goes down and grabs those low notes!

Although it is now almost oversung, it has become somewhat of an anthem for us since 9/11, and I would not have been surprised to have heard Scotty sing Proud to Be an American. To me, it would have fit right in with him as an inspiration song.

Exactly! Something that seems so "trivial" to Scotty's performance, would seem like a huge problem if Haley were doing it.

The way Scotty holds a mic is trivial, to me. Could care less WHO does it. That goes for Haley or ANY of the contestants, as well. Doesnt' affect their singing or talent any. Trivial.
