Scotty McCreery fans are used to working together to help the 18-year-old singer win big competitions, so perhaps it was no surprise that his new hit song ‘The Trouble With Girls’ became the first ever Taste of Country Showdown winner last week. The ‘American Idol’ champion topped Jason Aldean‘s ‘Tattoos on This Town’ in our previous battle, with 67.25% of the votes (that means Aldean pulled in 38.75%). Up against reigning winner McCreery this week: Another country singer who caught his big break after success on a reality television program.
Chris Young won ‘Nashville Star’ in 2006, but his career didn’t really take off until the slow and sexy ‘Gettin’ You Home’ hit radio in 2009. His new single, ‘You,’ is similarly sensual, but can this mid-tempo mood setter heat up enough fans to top the adorable Scotty McCreery and ‘The Trouble With Girls’? Listen to both hits, and then place your vote before telling all your friends and fellow fans to do likewise. This week’s competition will end on Sunday, Nov. 6 at Midnight ET, with the champion going on to face a new challenger next week.

We can't help but wonder if that means we'll get a full Christmas album from the 'American Idol' winner, or if he'll simply be releasing a jolly new single — but we'll settle for either. Also in this week's best tweets, Jack Ingram made a heavy bet against fellow country star Joe Nichols regarding who would win the World Series, and unfortunately, found his foot in his mouth and his clothes on the floor. Meanwhile, LeAnn Rimes and Frankie Ballard tweeted about Halloween costumes and Brad Paisley declared his birthday a national holiday. See what your favorite country stars were tweeting about this week!

We come to represent, we come to win, we come to have fun, we come to dominate, and most importantly we come to: BE LOUD, BE PROUD, AND BE TROJANS !
Traditions:
We always carry in our flags and vuvuzelas (Which was a tradition we started in the area and were so effective they have been banned). We all dress in one color normal black, blue, or white. We always have our face painted or special accessories that we have on us to show our school spirit.
There is never a Friday night home or away game that you do not hear the infamous cheers of the mighty Trojan Blue Crew. No matter what color we wear (Blue, White, Black, Yellow, or Pink) one thing that remains the same through each and every game is that no matter what, Win, Lose, or Draw, the Garner Blue Crew comes to do one thing, and that is to show school pride. Whether its through our chants "I Believe", "OHHHH", "Blue, Gold" or "Let's Go Trojans" we are always rooting for our team. That is what separates Garner's student section from any others, our spirit and pride. No matter what the scoreboard says, we do not stop cheering, we are there to support and celebrate, and you can expect nothing less from us!
Pregame/Postgame Activities:
Before the game we tailgate around three hours before the game starts. We cook good food and play games on our homemade ping pong tables and cornholes. After the game everyone goes to cookout were we celebrate our big win.
Before every home and away football game, our blue crew gets together at 4 pm, and we tailgate! We play music, socialize, practice our new chants and just enjoy each others company. We talk about how pumped we are for each game and we prepare to win! After the game, win or loss, our student section, cheerleaders, and football players ALL go to Cookout to celebrate and enjoy each others company. The Blue Crew is not just our "Student Section", its our Football team and Cheerleaders as well, because we are all working together for ONE thing and that is to bring a victory home for the MIGHTY GARNER TROJANS!
Why is your student section the best?:
Our student section is the most passionate in north carolina. As far as size goes our school is not the biggest and yet we still have hundreds of people at our games to show support for out football team. We should win this hands down.
Our Student Section is the best because we are not just screaming for a good time, or too impress a News Video Camera. We cheer because it means something to us, and we cheer because we love our home team. We cheer because it brings our group together not as friends, but as a family. No matter what happens Monday - Thursday, on Friday night we put our differences aside to cheer and root for our boys - TOGETHER! Garner is a tradition based community, and Garner has had a Student Section for generations! Our job is to continue this legacy with honor and pride and help our Trojan Men bring a victory home each and every week! When you are in the presence of the Blue Crew, you will understand that there is NO other Student Section that is like us.

Today he officially debuts the video on CMT for “The Trouble With Girls” shot by director Roman White, who is responsible for videos for Taylor Swift and fellow Idol alum Casey James.
The video is much like you would expect from Scotty. He’s wearing his ever-present silver cross necklace, and looking thoughtfully into the distance as he delivers lines like “They’re sugar and spice and angel wings/And hell on wheels in tight blue jeans.” I suggest watching this in the 1080p-(HD) option because on the regular 360p setting I completely missed Scotty’s chin scruff! They’re trying to butch him up a little and remind us that the newly turned 18 Scotty is a man, baby!
“The Trouble With Girls” was shot at Scotty’s high school, Garner Magnet High School, with his real friends, some of whom he’s gone all the way up from kindergarten with, including the pretty brunette featured in many scenes with Scotty (you can see her most clearly as his lab partner). The only way this video could be more wholesome and all-American would be if Scotty was eating apple pie in his Grandma’s lap while saluting the American flag.
This article is not a Scotty article but about someone who has played Piano for Scotty, it is a very interesting story. I've only posted a portion of the article, but you can copy & paste the link below to read the full article. It is very interesting and I hope you enjoy it. A • I'm supporting them 100 percent. It's tough getting in this business. I'm their No. 1 cheerleader. I wish the best for all of them. It's a lot different from when I got started. I didn't have a No. 1 record for five or six years. It's a faster-paced business nowadays, without the patience it used to have.
Q • What's your best advice to those singers?
A • Look for the songs. The songs are the most important thing. You've got to find that right thing for you.
