Christmas Songs

@ScottyMcCreery: Im hitting the hay tho. Another day of school tmrrw. Working a bunch of songs coming up for the holidays! Cant wait for yall to hear!




If there's anything that Scotty McCreery has learned about being a famous country singer, it's that the best way to get fans riled up is by teasing them with new music. The 'I Love You This Big' hitmaker sent a suspcious tweet to his Twitter followers this week, very subtly hinting that he might be working on a holiday release. 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.

Scotty may win a GRAMMY?


Sometime next month the official nominated list should be released, but Scotty McCreery is one of the many incredible artists/groups battling it out this year to be nominated.

Unfortunately, this is not a fan-voted process, so we can only keep our fingers crossed and our hopes high....who's to say he can't win a Grammy too!?

SCOTTY MCCREERY

1) Record of the Year – I LOVE YOU THIS BIG
2) Song of the Year – I LOVE YOU THIS BIG
3) Country Song of the Year – I LOVE YOU THIS BIG
4) Country Solo Vocal – SCOTTY MCCREERY

Reba McEntire Scotty McCreery's "No. 1 Cheerleader"



CR: GAC
Reba McEntire isn't shy about championing American Idol stars Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.

“I’m supporting them 100 percent,” Reba told St. Louis Today. "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.

Scotty McCreery has confirmed rumors that he’ll be touring with Brad Paisley next year. The ‘American Idol’ winnertweeted late Tuesday night, “so have yall heard the HUGE news! I’m heading out on the road with @BradPaisley in 2012!”
Fans at Sunday night’s Paisley concert in Raleigh, N.C. overheard the country superstar nonchalantly ask McCreery if he wanted to tour with him next year. McCreery nodded and Paisley said, “Great, I’m going to take you out next year!” Apparently invitations to play amphitheaters across the country come with all of the formality of one middle-schooler asking another the junior high dance.
“It’s really humbling that somebody like him would invite me to tour w/ him. I just hope i’m ready for any pranks he throws my way.. haha,” McCreery said in a separate tweet. He got a firsthand look at how crazy the pranks could be on Sunday night, as Paisley and the other H2O II artists were at each other all afternoon, and throughout Paisley’s set.
McCreery grew up just minutes away from the Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek in Raleigh. He was at the show as a fan, but quickly found himself backstage hanging out with Paisley. It seems likely that the two spoke about touring together before the show, but nobody knew it was official until the soon to be 18-year-old made it so on Twitter.

Scotty McCreery Sings The National Anthem World Series Game 1 10/19/2011

During Fox's telecast of the World Series on Wednesday night, they had someone with a pretty loyal fan base come out and perform the National Anthem -- "American Idol" champion Scotty McCreery.

So how did he do? The good news for Scotty is that he managed to handle most everything without a problem -- and his biggest challenge actually wasn't the song. Instead, the guy's microphone was not working when he started to sing, and he eventually had to start over with a working mic.

As for the song itself, Scotty did a top-notch job worthy of the show's biggest stagehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGQAElemYUg&feature=player_embedded

Scotty McCreery’s Already Writing New Songs for Next Album

Scotty McCreery released ‘Clear as Day’ just two weeks ago, but he’s already looking forward to his sophomore project. In a recent interview, the singer says he’s hoping to write a number of songs to be considered for his next album.“We’re going to give this album a few months before we start getting the songs picked for the next one,” McCreery tells HitFix, “but I want to keep writing about life experiences and relatable things to people.”
One song that’s near completion is for his high school football team. The 18-year-old says he and a friend wrote something for the Garner Trojans before he left for ‘American Idol.’ “Getting a song together for that because playoffs are coming up. We want to give them something to pump them up. Hopefully, one of my songs can make the album next time.”
It’s unlikely fans will get new music from the ‘The Trouble With Girls’ singer soon. One figures McCreery will release at least one, maybe two more songs to the radio before he moves on to a new project. He’ll want to have plenty for audiences on the Brad Paisley tour to be familiar with when the pair hit the road next summer.

5 Reasons Scotty McCreery's Doing Everything Right

Scotty McCreery won season 10 of "American Idol," but he's a winner in more ways than one. The 18-year-old Garner, North Carolina native's first country album, "Clear as Day," shot to the top of the Billboard charts. The cute country singer is the youngest male artist to see a debut release open in the No. 1 spot. In addition, no other country artist this year has seen album sales rank as high in the first week.

"I feel on top of the world," said Scotty. "It's been a pretty wild last nine months."

There are plenty of talented singers, but to make it in the industry you have to possess more than that. There are at least five reasons why McCreery is doing everything right.

He puts his faith in a higher power

It seems the country singer always mentions his faith when he's doing interviews. In fact, the Christian wears a bracelet that says "I am second" in obedience to God. "I'm just taking it all in and enjoying life and thanking God for everything he's been giving me because this has truly been a blessing to be able to do this," said the season 10 winner.

Whether a person is Christian, Buddhist, or some other faith, absorbing the positive wisdom of a higher power has proven to help make it in life.

He's humble and hardworking 

Even though the Garner native won "Idol," he's under no illusions that it will be a piece of cake from here on out. He knows there's a lot of hard work ahead, despite the fact that he's gotten the attention of the big country names, such as Brad Paisley who asked the young artist to tour with him. 

"I've gotta put in the work like those guys did, and hopefully one day I can be like them and be around in20 years still making music," said Scotty. "That's the ultimate goal. It's a long process. There's a lot of work that goes into that."
He puts school first

One would think that a winner of the most popular reality music show would have no interest in college. Not McCreery. He plans to attend college after graduation.

"We're looking to apply to some schools coming up pretty soon. We're looking at some different options and different schools out there. After high school, I'll still be working and making music, but I'll be in college as well," says the famous high school student.

He doesn't get into trouble

When it comes to the "Clear as Day" singer's track record - it's squeaky clean. There is no scandal in the young singer's life.

He's focused on one type of music

Like fellow "Idol" winner Carrie Underwood, Scotty chose to focus on his first love - country music. Randy Jackson, the only original judge on "American Idol," would say that's a smart move. He feels that Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry have done a better job than Adam Lambert and Kris Allen.

"You're not going, 'Well, I could be a painter, but I want to drive race cars. But I can do R&B, pop, jazz soul ... Maybe I think I'm more like Bono, but I could be more like Sting. But I'm gonna be like Lady Gaga, but I'm kind of like Justin Hawkins from the Darkness.' You can't be five people. You can only be one, and we have to make that choice," said Jackson.

Icon Vs. Icon Sits Down with Scotty to Talk 'Clear As Day,' Baseball & His Very Bright Future

The past year has been nothing short of life changing for blossiming country music superstar Scotty McCreery.

It didnt' take long for America to fall in love with him in early 2011 when he appeared on "American Idol" and immediately made a name for himself with his undeniably country voice, small-town roots and unwaivering conviction. As Season Ten of "American Idol" drew to a close, the people of America spoke! A record breaking 122.4 million votes were cast for the finale and nearly 39 million people tuned in to see the winner's name announced.

This year his album debuted number #1! Whats gonna happen next year on his Birthday?

Scotty McCreery tops Billboards!


American Idol winner Scotty McCreery made history today as the youngest male artist to top the Billboard 200 chart with a debut release. Clear As Day, which came out October 4, moved 196,739 in its first week, good for the No. 1 spot. He is the first new country artist so far in 2011 to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The last time a country singer achieved such a feat was in 2005, when Carrie Underwood’s Some Hearts was released.

“Everybody hopes for the number one, but you never really expect it," says McCreery, who turned 18 on Sunday. “ To see it up there is pretty incredible. It’s a very good birthday present! I can’t think of anything to top it!”
Some 15,000 fans attended his album release party/homecoming concert/birthday celebration at Raleigh’s Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek on October 8, where McCreery was presented with a gold record certifying digital sales of more than 500,000 for the single “I Love You This Big” (see photo).

“It couldn’t have happened to a nicer young man,” says Luke Lewis, chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group Nashville, which includes Mercury Nashville.
