Scott McIntyre had a triumphant return to American Idol Thursday night as he performed "Tell Her About It" by Billy Joel in a guest appearance on the popular TV show he was voted off of last year. McIntyre finished 8th in the voting on last years edition of American Idol, and many of us thought he should have finished higher. But even though he didn't win in the voting on season 8 of American Idol, that hasn't stopped him from launching a successful recording career.
"Heartstrings" is Scott McIntyre's first album to be released post American Idol and it was scheduled to be released yesterday March 11. "It’s really exciting for me to reach this milestone, of my first post-’Idol’ album … It’s really a personal project to me. The 12 songs are like 12 snapshots: things that I’ve gone through, things that I’ve thought about that I wanted to share. The album talks about love, loss, hope when you feel like there’s no hope around you. I’ve been in all those situations, in a bunch of different variations … My heart has gone through some ups and downs, thus the title."
McIntyre's album will be available on iTunes. Scott who is partially blind and plays the piano, won a loyal following of fans in his appearance on last year's season of American Idol even though he didn't win.
I can't even remember who won last year, do you? What was that guy's name anyway? I just think It's good to see this young man gain some measure of success and recognition. I for one, think that Scott McIntyre is a real American Idol.
