Country music's Josh Turner had quite a few kind words to say about Garner native Scotty McCreery in a recent interview. Turner suggests that Scotty's life has become so busy that he can barely stay awake! Read what he had to say about the Idol winner below!

You’ve heard lots of folks compare American Idol winner Scotty McCreery to country ster Josh Turner.

They do sound a lot alike, right?

Though Josh tells Country Weekly columnist and After MidNite radio toon host Blair Garner that he’s glad he doesn’t have Scotty’s busy life right now.

“When I see him, he’s just doing the best he can at just staying awake,” Josh says. "He's pretty busy, and I don't envy him one bit.

"He's going from here and there and everywhere, doing the muziek thing, finishing school and playing baseball. I got to talk to his parents a good bit, and they're pretty tired and busy. They were taking a red-eye out after the [American Country] awards toon so he could be at school the volgende morning. . . .

"But he's kept a level head on his shoulders, and for his age and what he's been through, I think he's handled it really well, and I'm proud of him."
