Sometime susunod buwan the official nominated listahan should be released, but Scotty McCreery is one of the many incredible artists/groups battling it out this taon to be nominated.
Unfortunately, this is not a fan-voted process, so we can only keep our fingers crossed and our hopes high! I'm sure that everyone, friends, family, and fans alike would be speechless if Scotty were to win a Grammy...but out of the thousands who auditioned for 'American Idol', a 17 taon old from Garner, NC came out victorious...who's to say he can't win a Grammy too!?
