Scotty McCreery misses a chance on 'American Idol'
Scotty McCreery is singing "Always on My Mind," which he attributes to Elvis Presley, next on "American Idol." This could be awesome, it's an A+ song.
Starts out slow, sincere, deep. Just hope he doesn't over-act this.... Odd, not that deep-voiced on the chorus. Good, but am a bit disappointed. I'll have to go listen to Willie Nelson on YouTube.
Jennifer Lopez says you're actually well-rounded, "nothing awkward about you up there," as Randy Jackson says don't always beat people over the head, loved it. Steven Tyler says "everybody's been so good tonight."
