Scotty McCreery Looks Back On Ten Years Since His American Idol Audition

Scotty McCreery is a country music making hit maker these days, but 10 years ago he was a flip-flop wearing teenager auditioning for American Idol.

Standing in front Season 10 judges, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, and Randy Jackson, Scotty wowed them with covers of songs by Josh Turner and Travis Tritt. The audition made J-Lo smile, got Randy to say “yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,” and Steven blurted out a compliment in an explicit phrase that surprised everyone in the room.

After receiving three “yes” votes, Scotty was off and running on the show that he would eventually win.

Looking back on it today Scotty shares, “Can’t believe its been a DECADE since my Idol audition aired!”
