should make top 7 with ease

country fans with love him and support him and take him a long way in the competition

his vocals maybe not mainstream enough to win

lack of versatility singing doesn't help either

[Slimcruz]

Most likely he has a career if he wishes; one way or the other.  Nice guy.  I almost hope for someone else to win because I truly don't think he needs AI after the initial (priceless) exposure.  I think that Scotty, like Willie Nelson, could cross music boundaries with the right arrangement.

man i hate country but i must admit scotty is good at it

i must be drunk

Love him, and the little twinkle in his eyes.  Hope he goes far, a little worried for him.  Great job Scotty.

[Slimcruz]

He seems special.  I don't think that he will win AI because.......but I hope we get to hear him sing some things other than country.  Agree; that sparkle is nice.

Not a country music fan but I really love Scotty.    Hope he stays for awhile, he is so enjoyable.

[Poptart]

Love this boy!!  He can really sing.

[SugarB]

Agree - he is doing a great job.  I wanted him cut back in Hollywood - now I'm glad they didn't.  Hope he doesn't get stuck in a rut though.

Love Scotty! He is just soo good at what he does, he's my favorite boy in the competition right now and I hope he can go the distance. But even if he doesn't I don't see any way that he won't at least put out an album on his own.

It sounded like they cut his microphone during the group song.. i couldnt hear him once!

[Slimcruz]

Talk about a nice guy!  I love Alan Jackson, George Strait and Dwight Yoakum.  Scotty could do any of their stuff and do it well.  I see Scotty sitting like Chet Atkins did, with his guitar, and simply singing beautifully.

Can't stand country but, he mimics the artists very well.  But, then again that's why I don't like him all that much either... brings nothing better than what the original artists have already done.  (Yes, I hear the country crap all the time 'cause of my hubby   )

This week was his worst yet so far, imo but, there seem to be some kind of major technical issue during his performance.  (Go figure that one of the handful of country artists I enjoy and it was botched. lol)

[uvp]

i  fill my country quota already NEXT average vocals

[Slimcruz]

He sounds as if he should be singing country on the radio already.  I think that he is very good with what he does but don't think he can do much more than that.  Same song each week for me.

I agree but, he'll go far on AI... it's the perfect venue for him.  And, he's totally dialed into how to get the votes from America.

I am not a big country fan, but love Scotty!

[SugarB]

He just seems so sweet and likeable.  He will definitely have a career in country.  He has shown more range than I thought he would - I was worried we'd never get past Josh Turner.

[Fatcat]

I am not a fan of too much country, but I do like this kid and I think he will surprise and surpass a few of the others week to week, hes very consistant

[itsnotbb9]

I just love him. I'd probably still love him even if he did sing the same song every week. lol
