Carly Hennessy

One of the members of the American Idol top 24 is in a controversy that won’t go away and is more out of control than Britney Spears in a free Starbucks store . The singer is Carly Smithson, who before she was married was Carly Hennessy. As Hennessy, Carly had a reported $2.2 million invested record deal with MCA. Yes, $2.2 MILLION! Idol producers say this is nothing new, and certainly not a controversy. “The rules of the competition state it’s if you do not have a contract now. Goodness me...Read Full Story

See you then!Disclaimer: The following is merely the opinion of a single American Idol viewer. You are free to agree or disagree with me completely. That is all. David Archuleta - Age 17 - This 17 year old young man has been pegged by Simon Cowell as the one to watch. There is no doubt that David has a God given...Read Full Story

Brooke White and Carly Smithson turned in strong performances tonight, but it was clear that the American Idol Top 8 girls have a long, long way to go to catch up to the guys. While David Cook and David Archuleta wow-ed us this week and last week respectively, none of the girls have come even close to matching the magic that the guys have brought to the stage. Watching Idol this season is a little bit like watching the NBA in a lopsided season where the #8 seed in one conference would be the...Read Full Story

And then there were 6.Tonight's episode really pissed me off because Ryan Seacrest and the rest of the gang played with the public's head regarding the bottom 3 until about 10 minutes before it all ended. Idiots.So to start, the gang sang "One Sweet Day," which was nice.Then there was a recap of the evening before.Then Ryan began calling out the contestants:Jason Castro - Please stand to the left of meDavid Cook - Please stand to the right of meCarly Smithson - Please stand to the left of...Read Full Story

Again - I get sucked into watching this mindless show - only to be let down. I mean Carly Smithson - she - is the best female signer of this season - come on people - clean the ear wax out of your ears or at least turn the volume up on the TV! I seriously can't believe good Ole' Dreadlocks is still squeaking by... mainly because of all the young girls voting for him - ack... Brooke - very nice and classy girl - but sorry folks - no where NEAR the talent of Carly - and so sick and tired of...Read Full Story

(Amanda Overmyer in her final performance on American Idol) It is no secret that I have NOT been a big fan of Amanda Overmyer, but I must say I am COMPLETELY shocked that she is the one who was voted off American Idol last night. Not only did I not think she was going to leave, but I didn’t even place her in my bottom three. I was WAY off this week. I really believed it was finally going to be Kristy Lee Cook’s turn to take the walk of shame. Amanda Overmyer has been “Vote for the Worst’s...Read Full Story

Okay, I admit --- I'm losing interest. "Always Be My Baby" was pretty much the highlight for me. I already have my winner but the show is still picking from the six (now down to five).So, what can I say about Carly Smithson? I like her alright. I recognize she's talented but I do see what Simon has been saying all along about her --- that she's picking the wrong songs. And I can't get this image off my head when I think of her!Carly you rocked. But let's face it --- it is going to be the...Read Full Story

"American Idol" hopeful Carly Smithson shot down rumors that she is pregnant on Wednesday's "Idol" results show. Ryan Seacrest asked Carly if she had something to share with the audience, and she joked that she is pregnant. Smithson quickly said she was joking.

So, Carly's not pregant! The Top 9...Read Full Story
