And he starred last year in Garner High's production of the musical "Bye Bye Birdie." Scotty played the role of Conrad Birdie, a thinly disguised version of Elvis Presley - Scotty's own childhood idol.

I would love to see this performance! I can just imagine what fun he must have had doing this!

His performance was a revelation to many who hadn't heard Scotty sing yet, Garner High Principal Drew Cook said.
"My wife ... looked over at me and said, 'Who in the world is that?'" Cook recalled.

That's the same reaction I had when I first heard him sing at the try outs. I still can't believe he's only 17-18. He really has a lot of poise for someone so young, so much so that you tend to forget his age.

I'm really looking forward to the finals this year as I like both Scotty and Lauren and the actual winner makes no difference to me.

I really love that it's a 'country idol' finale, even though I liked James as well and thought tonight would be featuring Scotty vs James.

Thanks for letting me pop in with my opinion. I don't post on the thread because, being in CA, it's never been as much fun if I'm not talking live with ya'll. I'm an avid Idol fan, though, that hasn't missed a season ever! :)

You’d have to think that somewhere, someone took videos of that performance and that we could somehow get to see him sing in that play!

They are both so likable. :)

Me too. I like the music that they'll probably be singing, and it's makes a more suspensful competition too. If James was still in it he would likely win.

You're always welcome here :)
