Carly Hennessy is now Carly Smithson — American Idol 7
http://www.rickey.org/?p=6917
1. She’s been hyped up for 2 years. American Idol knew about her since Season 5 ...
2. In 2000, Carly Smithson signed a 6-album recording contract with MCA Records (Vivendi Universal) — a major label. Not your independent Hickory Records let’s record our own CD at home label. An actual recording contract that thousands of American Idol hopefuls aspire for. ...
3. Carly Smithson’s CD was a flop. ...
Nigel Lythgoe on Carly Smithson Controversy: “Elvis Presley can join American Idol if he was out of contract”
http://www.rickey.org/?p=7083 Here's a portion of the article:
“Carly Smithson is not breaking any rules of the competition, so I don’t see the logic,” said Lythgoe, sounding annoyed. “The rules of the competition state you do not have a contract now. Goodness me, if Elvis Presley came back and was out of contract and was able to participate through age, then he would be in the competition. Nobody said this is an amateur competition. This is something that people are making up for themselves. It doesn’t matter if you’ve had a professional contract. Kelly Clarkson had a professional contract. Bo Bice had a deal. [Taylor Hicks] has got records that are out there. This is nothing new.”
Is there a Carly Smithson - Randy Jackson connection?

Has the Carly Smithson Controversy Peaked? — American Idol 7
http://www.rickey.org/?p=7167
"...the irony is, it is her controversial background that has made her popular, not her “amazing talent”." "...Carly Smithson isn’t even the most “loved” girl on the show." "...or she is the show’s smokescreen for who will eventually become the winner."

Post your thoughts on this. Is this fair?

Since Michael John's shocking elimination, a lot of news items have been coming in regarding things that have been happening with the show or the Idol contestants and I decided to put on this news topic last week to put some of this news and where we can discuss this separate from the Idol show topics. So each week I will put this topic on between the Results show topic and the next Idol show. I will put on anything regarding the last elimination, especially if it is another shocking one, and I am asking everyone to add anything they happen to come across that they feel is of interest or worthy of discussion. This won't be just for me to put on articles of interest. I invite you too. I'm just getting it started.
