As much as I love her and loved her European accent I doubt she'll win American Idol.
She should try out for Australian Idol, they love their Irish imports. |

What makes you think that she will win?

Her bofo was <3
I liked her as a person but her singing bored me. She's another Gina Glockson |

I didn't like her audition song choice.
But she seems sweet. |

I was hoping for a lot more given her reputation but I hope she shows off even more in the later rounds.

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she was really nervous because of what happened 2 years ago and that the song choice wasn't the best one
she could have made.
I really liked her though. She's another Gina GlocksonSweet fucking jesus, that's a really big insult. She couldn't possibly have been that horrendous, or that fake. |

I thought she was good but is American Idol going to end up a competition between an Irish plant and an Aussie plant. Somehow, I don't see that happening.
But this show is so lost right now that it could.

Where the fuck did the Gina Glockson comparison come from? Fattina Glockson always presented herself as a faux rocker.
Fortunately, this girl didn't! She freak'in sang Chaka Khan, plus her voice was amazing! I hope she goes very far this season! |

I liked her voice but just know that (from VFTW):
"Carly Smithson is the epitome of a record industry failure. She was brought to America by MCA Records and recorded a ... pop album that sold only 300 copies" Her label spent millions on her and her failure is actually studied in business school. As long as people know that and don't care, it's fine. I guess the whole UNDISCOVERED talent part of this show is in the crapper. I think unsigned is all that counts now. |

If America's population is 300 million and she only sold 300 copies of her album I'd call her undiscovered.

*sigh*
Hate to say it, but this bitch can sing (however she pussed out on the "falsetto" part). I don't like the fact she is being pimped hardcore and the goth/tattoo image. But vocally I loved it. PS: I don't see her as the winner either, SO FAR that title belongs to aussie Micheal Lee |

I find it VERY hard to believe her label spent millions on marketing her and she crapped out so badly... Her A&R must feel like a douche.

P L A N T ALERT!!!!
This was the girl Nigel and Simon were pimping back in Season 5 but because she couldn't get a US visa, she couldn't compete. |

The Wall St. Journal actually wrote a story about her label's failure. I think the big problem is that her single was about oral sex and I think she was
only 17 at the time.

Am I the only one who didnt think she was that good? She was trying too hard and oversinging. Her tattoos suck, her teeth are Irish and bad and she's gonna
pork out. Oh, and her husband looks like a fucking idiot. Don't like her. The chick with the sister on Simon's lap was a lot better.

I didn't like her at all, and her tatoos are ugly. That oversinging of notes a la CA sucks.

Despite her background, I sorta find her accent hot and kinda like her.

Is this the "Irish Girl" that Simon had pegged to win before the show started? I really want to see her intial audition. This bitch is good, but I
would like to see the original audition.
