Scotty McCreery Vs. Hunter Hayes

In light of Scotty McCreery's recent performance at SUU, I thought I would take some time to talk about his career. And of course, in looking into McCreery, I couldn't help but think about Hunter Hayes. There are a lot of similarities between these two artists and I'm not just talking about how cute they both are.

Hayes began his official career in country music as a songwriter, helping artists and groups like Rascal Flatts. In September 2010, he signed on with Atlantic Records and began his career as a vocalist. Hayes has opened for many big names in country, including Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. His debut album, "Hunter Hayes," was certified platinum in 2013 and contains the single "Wanted," a song that made Hayes the youngest male to ever top the Billboard Hot Country Songs. Not to mention the top of every wedding playlist for country girls worldwide. Hayes has two official albums, "Hunter Hayes" and "Storyline," with another record, "The 21 Project,"released at the end of last year. His top songs include "Wanted," "Somebody's Heartbreak," and "I Want Crazy."

McCreery started his career a little differently. Many of us remember his time on American Idol, season 10. He auditioned in Milwaukee at age 16, and went on to win the competition. His debut album, "Clear as Day," was released in 2011 and has been certified platinum. The album has two top 20 songs, "I Love You This Big," and "The Trouble With Girls." I wouldn't be surprised if those are also in the top 20 on wedding song. McCreery also has three albums, including one dedicated to Christmas. "See You Tonight," a single from his third record, was his first single ever to read the top ten on Billboard's country charts. McCreery is currently working on his fourth album, which will be released later this year.

As far as credentials, these artists are neck and neck. Hunter Hayes has more nominations and chart toppers than McCreery, but McCreery won American Idol, and will have more albums released after his fourth is released. It's difficult to place one artist above the other, and as a die-hard country girl myself, I would say it's like trying to choose your favorite child. Take a look at some of their work and you'll see what I mean.



I hope this helps you make up your mind. I'm resigned to just loving them both.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
