Tonight's American Idol results may not have been as shocking as the night Michael Johns was shown the door. But there's no way we imagined anyone not named Brooke White would be going home.
Instead - because viewers obviously felt sorry for White after she forgot the lyrics to "You Must Love Me" on Tuesday night - Carly Smithson was voted out.
We've been Brooke backers all season long, but she deserved to be sent home this week. Smithson put on an inspired, lively rendition of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and, let's face it, Brooke choked under the pressure. It was time for her to go.
Weigh in now: Did Smithson deserve to be eliminated?

I think it was right that she got eliminated simply because she's had a record deal and won awards in Ireland for best female artist. I feel like she's already lived the dream and other's need to live out what they haven't yet experienced like she has.
Who cares what we say though, you know she'll get a record out!

Absolutely not. She's a wonderful singer, but sadly didn't have enough of a fan base. Hopefully she will do wel in the future. I was sure she would have made the top 3.

i totally agree carly did not deserve to go home,
imo brooke and jason should have been in the
bottom 2. i thougjht that brooke might make it
through, because most people have been in
her position and the nerves get the best of ya. but jason was horrible. i did not even recognize
the song, he is one of weakest vocally singer
ever that been on idol. i did not even recognize
the song. carly and michael johns were robbed.

Carly was the best singer in the competition! But I CAN believe it that she'd be eliminated. It happens every year that the best gets voted off! Maybe people thought she was too powerful and made the others look like such amateurs so they stop voting for her...this is just like Jennifer Hudson..Melinda Doolittle...Chris Daughtry...the best singers all get voted off! CARLY YOU ARE THE BEST!!! YOU HAVE THE BEST FANS WHO LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY! dONT GIVE UP YOUR DREAM..WE BELIEVE IN YOU!

I do not care to watch Idol anymore...Come on now, Carly got voted off? Is American crazy? She was the best vocalist in the competition! Why does it always have to be a popularity contest?! I believe people need to crack down on this show because the truly talented people are not the ones winning!

No way should either of these 2 women have been listed as the bottom 2. They gave the strongest performances of the night. The 2 weakest are Brook and the dreadlocks guy. He should have been ousted weeks ago. His was the weakest performance the night before.

No, Smithson didn't deserve to leave!

Carly has had some tough critiques and survived to sing another song. Tonight's elimination was not only unexpected but completely undeserved. I like Brooke but think that either she or Jason should have been voted off!
