Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery landed on Television Without Pity/Yahoo!’s “The Very Worst Reality Stars of 2011″ list. The website had this to say about Scotty:
We wanted to smack his smug face throughout most of the season. But he really earned his spot on this list by exploiting the nation’s painful memories of 9/11 for his own personal gain a week after Osama bin Laden was killed. We can only pray his career doesn’t last nearly as long as Carrie Underwood’s.

Certainly uncalled for!
While I can't bring myself to consider "country" to be "music," nor can I think of him as an artist (artist? --really? --Scotty's being put in the class of the likes of YoYo Ma, Wynton Marsalis, Lang Lang?? - really???), what I do like about Scotty is that he seems like a smart, down to earth, humble, unpretentious young man. I'm hugely encouraged by his approach everytime I read that he's not letting his music get in the way of his schooling. (The fact that his entertaining may pay for his college is icing -- and more proof of how smart he is!)
Television Without Pity --perhaps others need to take it to task -- without an ounce of pity.
