Carly Smithson - Season 7

[Tickety]

Way too screechy for my liking. Didn't care for that hideous, hideous monstrosity of a dress, either. I hope she gets the boot.

I hope so too Tickety!

i actually liked her performance. you can tell she's trying to have fun out there, the desperation is gone.

And does that ever improve her!

I was impressed -- that was the first time she seemed to be comfortable and having a good time. Song got away from her on the refrain, but her eyes were open and she wasn't exuding tension all over the place.

[Kyle]

I hope she gets the boot.

Ditto.

[combatcutie]

I thought she did a great job with the song. Finally showed she was having fun out there.

[astrotronix]

She did a fantastic job on the song, it reminded me of her first performance in the top 12 "Come Together." I think that she has the best overall performances (along with David Cook.) She manages to be entertaining whether she sings a slow song or a up-beat one. She definitely deserves a spot in the final three at the very least, maybe even the final two with David Cook.

[pillbeam]

Carly was much better tonight, but still a bit too screamy....And again, she didn't seem to be connected to the song.

[bbnbama]

I loved her doing JCS...loved her look, her dress, her performance! I did 2 hours of voting for her again!

[Crimzoid]

Wow... I am in awe of the country's "decisions" to send her home. Clearly the best singer on the show. I honestly think she was my favorite and am ashamed that America sent her home this week over clearly less talented singers especially after an amazing performance like JCS.
