It’s becoming a bit old hat for Scotty McCreery — another country music association announces award nominees, and the Garner High School student is a contender.
On Monday, CMT announced that Scotty’s music video for “The Trouble With Girls” has been nominated for “Breakthrough Video of the Year” at this year’s CMT Music Awards, to air on June 6 on the country music cable channel.
Fans can go online to vote for Scotty at www.cmt.com through June 4. Carrie Underwood – like Scotty, a former “American Idol” winner – leads the nominations with five.
Scotty’s fellow nominees in the breakthrough category have all competed against him before – Lauren Alaina, who has runner-up when Scotty won the 10th season of “Idol” a year ago; Brantley Gilbert and Hunter Hayes, both of whom were nominated against Scotty for Best New Artist at the Academy of Country Music Awards earlier this month; and Pistol Annies and Thompson Square, both of whom were nominated against Scotty for Top New Artist in December’s American Country Awards.

ed up another fan-voted accolade last night when he was named New Artist of the Year at the 47th Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas."I’ve got to thank the fans — you guys are incredible!” said the 18-year-old Garner High School senior, who was named the winner of the 10th season of “American Idol” less than a year ago. Scotty also thanked the country music community and Jesus.
Scotty McCreery is again hoping that his fans will come through for him in a national voting contest.
