OFFSTAGE: Scott McCreery Calls Keith Urban a Huge Help

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)

Scotty McCreery would know. He won American Idol in 2011, so who better to judge the judges? And in his opinion, he thinks Keith Urban, especially, is just what the show (and the contestants) need. "When I was there, I had Steven [Tyler], Jennifer [Lopez] and Randy [Jackson], and they were great," McCreery told CMT Radio of his experience. "But I don't really think anybody out there got the country music scene. So to have someone like Keith, I think it is going to be a huge help." He also said he loves the show and watches it when he's got downtime between college courses and his tour. "I think [Urban] is giving out great advice. I think it is great for any kind of country artist that might come off that show," he said. Think that's his Idol intuition kicking in? Let's hope so.
