McCreery was joined at the finale by his teacher, Meredith Clayton, the choral director at Garner High. Clayton said in February that missing baseball would be tough for McCreery, and that was before anyone was thinking the deep-voiced country crooner would last until nearly Memorial Day, thus missing the Trojans’ entire season.
None of that mattered Wednesday night. Clayton talked to FOXSports.com moments after McCreery was named the winner.
“I couldn’t be prouder,” said Clayton, whose mother was former “Idol” runner-up Clay Aiken’s choral teacher. “He is so deserving. I am absolutely thrilled for Scotty and his family.”
Did anyone else here buy Scotty’s single? I have to say that hearing the studio version, his voice is freaking Amazing. He has incredible tone. He sounds better than 95% other country artists. Wow.
And I am not even a country fan; I just wanted to support him.
