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

They do sound a lot alike, right?

Though Josh tells Country Weekly columnist and After MidNite radio mostrar 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 música 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 mostrar so he could be at school the siguiente 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."
