Zap2it on the scene: American Idol Top 5
'American Idol' Live: Meet Scotty McCreery's three blondes
It's official: The girls loves "American Idol's" Scotty McCreery. Correction: They really, really love him.Zap2it was on the scene at the Top 5 taping and talked to three of Scotty's biggest fans. Or at least their mother. Turns out, Scotty's back-up singers for his first performance, "Gone," are actually huge fans of the country crooner.
The blonde back-up singers are sister group Destinee & Paris, who used to be part of the girl group Clique Girlz. Destinee and Paris are signed to Interscope Records and were chosen by the show's producers and Jimmy Iovine to provide back-up vocals. The sisters, 15 and 16, sang back-up on Haley Reinhart's "Rolling In The Deep" a few weeks back.
Destinee & Paris' mother was seated next to us during the show and told us that the girls think Scotty is "so cute." After the performance, she was sure a lot of the girls watching were going to be jealous of the blonde sisters who shared some screen-time with "Idol's" resident Country boy. We wouldn't be shocked.
Another one of Scotty's blonde fans? A 20 year-old UCLA college student who was chosen by producers to stand with Scotty before a commercial break. After meeting the country crooner, the girl told us Scotty was "cute but shy." She says, "I said 'Good luck!' and he just said, 'Uh, thanks!'" In a completely surprising twist, she thought Scotty was the best of the night.Need more behind-the-scenes Scotty intel?
-- When Scotty was sitting in the audience before his performance, a man tapped him on the shoulder and told him he was doing a great job this season. Scotty shook his hand and said, "Thanks, man!"
-- While still waiting to start his performance, Scotty decided to amp up the crowd early, telling the sections near him, "Get up for me, y'all!" Guess what? They got up!
-- While watching clips of their performances back at the end of the show, Scotty bust out laughing when the jumbo-screen showed him jumping from the stage. When the clip of his second performance came up, Scotty pointed out that his ear piece wire was sticking out and said, "Oh, man!"

Scotty is shy but he likes the blondes...ha My daughter is his ex-girlfriend and is very much blonde and adorable if I may add.
Scotty just likes being friends with everyone and Im sure not ready to get tied down with this "dream" still happening and about to get bigger.
Good Luck Scott!
Miss Natalie and Taylor E.
Trust me, it's not just the blondes lovin' on Scotty "The Body", this brunette is swooning in her cowboy boots, too! I'm old enough to be his mother and technically he's jail-bait, but, hey, a gal can still dream, can't she? All kidding aside, I love his voice and, win or lose this contest, he'll be around for a long long time. By then, hopefully he'll be into grandmas ;-)
If Simon was still on the show scotty would be "swingin" from a rope. He should have been gone ages ago. Wake up America the only reason he is still on the show teenage girls. He will be another Taylor Hicks
i'm so sick of people saying "if simon were still on this show" thing. first of all, he is NOT on this show anymore. secondly, don't speak for simon; he is very capable of doing that himself.
I'm not a big fan of country music (though interestingly enough, as I get older, while I still like my New Wave stuff from way back when, I find I like more and more country), but I've loved Scotty since the auditions, and am delighted that he's done this well. I haven't been watching this season since the auditions (AI always seems to be up against my favorite shows)but I may start tuning in at the end to get numbers and call in for Scotty for these last few weeks. He's got a simple, honest style that appeals to me a great deal -- and even my husband agrees (and he does like country and is pretty particular about who he listens to). To whoever upstream said his appeal was only to teenage girls -- sorry, mate. My teens are way behind me, and he's the one for me this season.

I think Scotty is so good. He has grown each week. He has taken the advice of everyone, listened and is doing an awesome job. I was so impresse with him tonight when Ryan told him to go stand by the ones who weren't in the bottom and he told Ryan he wasn't gonna do it. How can you help but love the character of this young man. He has such a good heart and his performances are mind bogling for just a seventeen year old. I know he is going to sail the charts when he starts making CDs. Can't wait to get his first, and see him in concert! Best of luck to him and keep voting for him. Just an old grandma 62 years old. Not everyone voting for him are the "teens". America loves Scotty!!!!!!
I have enjoyed Scotty from the very start of this year. He is a very interesting young man. If he is given any criticism he takes it well and the next week he makes the correction. His facial expression are so cute too, he is definately going to go far after this is over. Good Luck Scotty
This is for Scotty, if you want
to want win American Idol next
week. Please sing Zack Brown Band
(Colder Weather) and that should
take next week home.
Good Luck!!!
I have liked Scotty from the start. My 15 year old daughter also thinks he is good and she does not care for country music. He is just an all American guy and seems as sweet as can be.
