Scotty McCreery — See You Tonight

©2013 19 Recordings

As I am sure that many of you do, I still remember the first time I heard fellow North Carolinian Scotty McCreery. It was during his audition on American Idol where the Garner resident, who was 16 at the time, blew away then-judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Steven Tyler with his boyish charm and booming baritone voice. After his performances of Your Man by Josh Turner and Put Some Drive In Your Country by Travis Tritt, Scotty received one of the most unorthodox-sounding critiques in the show’s history when Steven said, “F— a duck, and see what hatches,” which, I guess, was the Aerosmith frontman’s way of say how impressed he was with the young singer’s talent. Of course, Scotty got a “yes” from all three judges and went on to win AI10. The rest is history.
