Scotty McCreery

I'm not sure I've got the spelling of his last name right,
but I have a particular interest in the "American Idol"
finalist who lives in a town where I lived for eight years
in the '50s and '60s. Garner is a suburb of Raleigh, and
Scotty's about the biggest thing that's ever happened to
it. He gave a live concert this afternoon and sounds like
a pretty decent country singer. North Carolina has had
a couple of other decent finishers (Fantasia being one)
on "Idol," and maybe he will be too (he can't finish lower
than third).

North Carolina also got a little recognition last night when
a teacher from Ocracoke won $100,000 in the Jeopardy!
Teachers' Tournament. Coming from second place on Thursday,
he practically crushed his opponents yesterday; all three missed
the Final Jeopardy clue: the monarch who in 2011 spoke to his
people for the first time since 1989 to assure them that everything
was going to be all right (correct response: Who is Akihito (emperor
of Japan?). But the other two bet everything; our man bet only $125.

A little chauvinism for the Tar Heel State.
 
I'm not big on this Idol stuff, I mean 30,000 people for a concert? It's not basketball.
It is just more proof that North Carolina kicks a.
Get used to it world. :D
 
It seems 80% of the talent from Idol is either a Rocker or a Country singer. I doubt they will
ever get a Diana Ross or Donna Summer type out of their slim pickins.
 
They probably won't get a Mel Torme or an Enrico Caruso either, because 80% (might be higher) rock and country is just what mass-appeal "idol-atry" leads them to.
