What if hes got a point?
I thought to myself.
Well, hold on to your Orvis catalogs.
Tonights hour proved thatIdolhas some worms left in its bait can.
(Sorry, this fishing metaphor has me hooked through the gills.)
Take, for example, Carly Smithson, the tattooed Irish songbird who closed tonights show.
Anyhow, knowing all this, I approached Carlys audition with skepticism.
Didnt she already get her shot at the Big Show?
Why should she get a second chance onIdol?
Then, moments later, something unexpected happened.
Carly won me over.
Just a little bit.
Not by virtue of her very good (though not amazing) audition.
But rather through her vulnerability.
(Yeah, Im sappy like that.)
), but Carlys audition made me reach two conclusions.
Okay, so Perrie caught a little Mariah-itis on his overwrought rendition of Ill Make Love to You.
On technical merit, however, girlfriend did not fare as well.
What did you think of the San Diego show?
Were you happy Fox kept it to 60 minutes, instead of foisting another two-hour episode on us?
And what about Carly?
