Come Home, Carly
San Diego’s own Carly Smithson delivered her last performance on American Idol this evening. Her rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar made Andrew Lloyd Webber proud, and you can’t ask for more than that.
Carly definitely out-performed some of the other competitors, so why didn’t she get the votes? Perhaps it was the “kiss of death” when Simon said that hers was one of his favorite performances of the night. Could it be her tattoos that kept her from connecting with the largest fan base? Maybe the fans thought she did so well that she was safe, and one of the other favorite performers needed their votes more. Whatever the reason, her time with American Idol is over.
This certainly won’t be the last we’ll hear from our hometown girl. Carly will next do the talk show circuit, performing on shows such as Live with Regis and Kelly (Monday).
I’m sure there are bigger and better things waiting for Carly, now that the world has discovered her talent, but when she’s done, I hope that she’ll come on home to San Diego. We love you, Carly!
