They say behind every good man is a woman, and American Idol season 10 winner Scotty McCreery would be first to admit that the women in his life have shaped the artist he is today. Which makes the inclusion of a song called “The Trouble with Girls” a peculiar choice for the 17-year-old’s debut album Clear As দিন (out Oct. 4).
“My mom and my sister have shown me how to treat females with respect,” he tells The Hollywood Reporter. “After some boyfriends she had in the past, my sister would say, ‘Don’t do that.’ She’s been great to me. They have both been right দ্বারা my side from the start – my mom since the প্রদর্শনী started in February and then on tour. Idol’s fun, but it’s a pressure cooker. It’s a tough thing to do seven days a week, all hours of the day. I don’t know how the rest of the kids did it without a mom অথবা somebody there to help them out. It was definitely a nice plus for me.”
Mom Judy, as well as McCreery’s father, Mike, played all-important roles in helping their son wade through the muddy waters of the সঙ্গীত industry, which the country crooner says he is still figuring out.
“There’s a lot আরো work behind the scenes,” he says. “Paperwork and stuff. I told my mom that I just want to sing some songs! But she’s been great with the business side of things.”
It’s a strange position to be in. Still in high school, years from being legally allowed to have your first beer, and you’re expected to make adult decisions that involve hundreds of thousands of dollars and could significantly alter your life? Fortunately, a perk of fame is meeting আরো seasoned artists that take time to mentor young talent, such as Brad Paisley, who invited the young singer out on the road.
“It’s an honor to go out on the road with somebody like him who has been in this business forever,” says McCreery. “He knows the ins and outs. It is going to be a fun experience, but it’s also going to be a learning experience. I’ll be learning about the road life and about country সঙ্গীত through somebody like Brad.”

No. 4. Scotty McCreery
Birthdate: Oct. 9, 1993 (age 17)
Why He's Hot: When viewers first saw Scotty McCreery at the Milwaukee auditions for "American Idol" season 10, they could barely believe the big ole voice coming out of the North Carolina teen. McCreery skated through the season not only on his baritone and Josh Turner covers, but also his fresh-faced charm and country drawl. Crowned "Idol" champ back in May 2010, McCreery signed to Mercury Nashville shortly and delivered his first smash single, "I প্রণয় আপনি This Big," to radio shortly thereafter. McCreery's idol status is set to loom even larger when his anticipated debut album, "Clear as Day," is released on Oct. 4.
