Scotty McCreery says he doesn’t do a lot of the things he used to do as a teenager. He says he’s made a conscious effort to get away from that, but he sometimes looks back at who he was back then and feels thankful to have survived to the ripe old age of 27.
Elvie Shane is excited to be opening for Travis Tritt and Brooks & Dunn in Tampa tomorrow night. He tells us about something a fan did for him. “Somebody just put a montage together for me recently, and I sat down and watched it. It was just a bunch of these different videos, and some I had seen, some I hadn’t seen,” he tells us. “It’s super powerful to be a part of something like that, just to see the way it’s affecting people in the way that it is, and giving people a way to say ‘I love you’ in a way that maybe they’ve never been able to before. I’m glad they figured out a way to do that with the song. You know, we wrote this song as my song, but now it’s everybody else’s song.”
This artist was turned down by all of the talent shows on TV… Maren Morris tells us that she was rejected by all of the talent shows. She auditioned for “American Idol,” “America’s Got Talent,” and “The Voice,” but never made it through. Now people cover HER songs on those shows in auditions and she says she gets to “collect the check and have some sweet revenge.”
