I was an Elvis freak. That's all I listened to growing up.
Scotty McCreery -
I want to go to Nashville and get cracking on this album.

I'm sure those rumors are spread, but it's just ah - we're really good friend. We've been since day one in Hollywood. In class, we've been together in school. We've gotten really close, but I don't know about the more than friends stuff.

I'm in college at North Carolina State University. I'm about to start my sophomore year and have an apartment on campus with three buddies I've grown up with. I get to be normal when I'm there, and then I tour Thursday through Sunday.
Scotty McCreery -
You know I used to sit there and I'd go outside and play ball and everything, but now in my free time I just kind of lay back and relax because this atmosphere is so busy and stressful, so anytime I can sleep, you'd best believe I'm sleepin'.
Scotty McCreery -
I don't think you'd call me a traditionalist. But you can say I have an old soul, because I grew up listening to Conway Twitty and Hank Williams.
Scotty McCreery -
You gotta 'be' country music - you can't just sing it.
Scotty McCreery -
One thing I love about Josh Turner is his faith; that's why I looked up to him so much.

For me, the best vacation is just relaxing on the couch!
Scotty McCreery -
Just the title of 'American Idol' is something that people can look up to. I'm not Saint Scott, I'm not Mr. Perfect, but I want to be that role model.
Scotty McCreery -
I gotta get a truck.
Scotty McCreery -
That's the last thing I want to do is go on up there and mess up, you know, in front of America.
Scotty McCreery -
It's so surreal being here.
Scotty McCreery -
Somebody described it to me the best as when you go in to write a song with two people that you've never met, you're pretty much going in and taking off your pants in front of strangers, so it's a really weird feeling.

For me, my number one priority always has to be the music, and I'm going to work school around my music - not music around my school.
Scotty McCreery -
When you're out there talking about your faith and what you believe in, you'll face some backlash. But mostly, I've received support.
Scotty McCreery -
I've dealt with losing close ones before, and I've been around friends that have lost friends at a young age. I think it's important to think about - not necessarily death, but about life and think about where you're going and how you want to be remembered and the legacy you want to leave.
Scotty McCreery -
I don't speak Spanish. I've done Spanish 1 and 2 classes. My grandma asked me when I was young if I wanted to learn Spanish, and I guess I was young. I should have, because it would have helped me a lot.
Scotty McCreery -
The road is a fun place, and it's a great place to get out there and explore the country. But as far as the road life with the 'rock n' roll temptations,' there's not much of that with me.
Scotty McCreery -
I don't want to put anyone down, but you won't see any twerking from me.

I wanted people to see that I really am a real person. I'm not just some guy who was on a TV show, some guy engulfed in the Hollywood life. I'm just a normal guy when it comes down to it.
Scotty McCreery -
What makes me unique is that I'm normal.
Scotty McCreery -
When they first said I made it through it was just crazy, I mean all kinds of thoughts were going through my head, and you know to be watching the show for nine seasons and to be on it now is surreal, it's so surreal.
Scotty McCreery -
I wanted to have more songs with religious backgrounds. The Christmas record has strong, traditional hymns, but it also has a song called 'Christmas in Heaven' about missing someone that you love that's passed on, and wondering what's going on up there on Christmas.
