Steven Tyler loves Scotty and his voice. America loves Scotty, he said. Jennifer Lopez claimed Scotty showed them the well rounded artist he is. And Randy Jackson called him a veteran singer.

Scotty is incredible. I love his voice. I love his softer side and the song was perfect to showcase that. There was only one major problem – the performance was way too short! I wanted more and more. Scotty proved screaming is not how you win this.
