This is a fun read, a lot of things I hadn't read before. After awhile all the interviews sound the same, but this has some great stuff!! Enjoy
Scotty McCreery dishes about Idol, things we didn't know!
<--- LOLZThe response from other country artists. Scotty said they have been nice and helpful. Tim McGraw, who performed with Scotty on the "Idol" finale, told Scotty he was there to help Scotty and make him look good. Josh Turner, who surprised Scotty during his Garner homecoming, also has given much support, Scotty said. And country superstar Taylor Swift sent both Scotty and runner-up Lauren Alaina flowers.
The Jack Black "snub." After being named the "Idol" winner on May 25, Scotty had to sing his single "I Love You This Big" while also going to the front row to hug family and friends. Scotty hugged his father, Mike; his mother, Judy; his sister, Ashley; and three special guests who were key mentors for him -- guitar teacher Gary Epperson, musician Bud Moffett and WQDR radio's Marty Young. As the cameras captured Scotty hugging each person down the line, a seventh person, comedian Jack Black, reached out his arms for a hug -- and Scotty seemed to ignore him and head back to the stage. Black exaggeratedly played up the snub. But Scotty said it wasn't intentional. In all the excitement, he didn't even see Black, who had performed earlier in the show. "If I had, I would have given him a hug," Scotty said. "It's Jack Black!"
