SCOTTY McCREERY RETURNED TO ‘AMERICAN IDOL.’ (AUDIO)

Scotty McCreery returned to American Idol in Charlotte on Wednesday night. The Season 10 winner, who’s at work on the follow-up to his debut album Clear As Day, greeted the contestants waiting in line to audition…signed autographs…received a marriage proposal…and ran into a former junior high classmate.

Ever since the day the 19-year-old singer from North Carolina took home the coveted title in 2011, he basically can’t go anywhere in public without being recognized.

AUDIO: Scotty McCreery talks about going out in public.

Scotty McCreery (going out in public) OC: …it’s fun. :09
“It’s definitely weird, you know. It’s a big life change. It’s just one of those trade-offs that comes from doing this kind of job, but it’s fun. It’s fun.”
