Carly should have stayed! She gave a great performance and is a super singer. If there was anyone who needed to leave, it was Jason. His performance was terrible and he was off key quite a bit. I honestly don't know why he is still in the top 5. He is not that good of a singer and that hair has got to go!

I agree that Carly had a better performance. Heck, she's the best singer, technically, but, I don't agree that she was the most charismatic star of the season. I think there's something very annoying about her hyper mannerisms, and while she was blessed with a gorgeous instrument, her own zeal and personality undermines her performances. While she sung well last night, she still missed the mark for me because I'm tired of her sass and ego. She acts like she's the greatest star, and truthfully, star quality is a recipe of ingredients. On every cruise ship and local bars throughout the world one can find exceptionally talented singers, but, stars are something which combine talent, and other factors. It was time for Carly to go away.

Oh my god. When I read this news. Suddenly, I was crying because her performance last night was absolutely great. She's my favourite. Because come on, this is a SINGING COMPETITION. ( Most of the people don't think so). But I'm sure Simon was surprised too. After all she was one of his favourites.

Of Course, Americans would be very disappointed to see a foreigner who sings better than any other of their beloved American contestants. She's by far the best singer that ever aplied for American Idol.

Unbelievable! Obviously the result of an audience made up of passive listeners and not active listeners. As a experienced and retired bass player for a symphony orchestra, jazz and rock bands I recognize talent. This girl lit up the stage every week. She sang with incredible enthusiam, emotion, and had a great attitude. Carly should have been in at least the top four. Two of the remaining contestants should have already gone home and they know it as well! Carly is one step away from becoming a superstar!

Carly was ripped off. The voting system does not reflect the opinion of the majority of viewers/voters. People have figured out how to rig the voting for their "popular favorite". No way should Carly leave while Jason and Brooke still remain. And Syesha should never have been in the bottom two this week. She showed tremendous talent & versatility on Tuesday night. Go Syesha!

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Why Brook White didn't go home, I'm clueless.. and let's face it, so was she. White looked absolutely suprised when they called her safe. And even when she wasn't knocked off, between Jason and Carly, Jason should definitely have been in the bottom two! (Don't get me wrong, he's been a fav of mine from the get go) but last Tuesday night just wasn't his thing. All I can say is it has definitely been a surprising American Idol Season. Good Luck Carly!

Carly's dismissal from Idol last evening was a joke. It's taken a while for her to grow on me, but she is actually quite good and deserved to be in the top 3-4 easily.
Jason and Brooke should have been in the bottom two. I like Brooke but she should have not been saved. Sad but true.
alexa Says:
April 24th, 2008 12:10 PM
I AGREE. Jason or Brooke should've gone. I was a BIG TIME Michael Johns supporter, and when he got eliminated, it was totally unfair. My 2nd favorite was Carly... and she was 100% totally unfairly eliminated! I am now officially anti-American Idol. What are American Idol watchers thinking?!
Elizabeth Says:
April 24th, 2008 1:10 PM
Thank you for a place to finally voice my frustation!!! I am so sick of Brooke's quivering lower lip or the upper lip brought to disappearing the only thing missing is for her to curl her hair and suck her thumb! I am afraid I agree with Paula about the stopping and starting over!! Do you remember when David stumbled on Beatles week? Well he never did it again, which just proves a good work ethic. If you recall Brooke sat at the piano and started to sing then stopped and started over. That is not one stumble it is TWO! How many chances does she get???? Carly didn't deserve to go home last night and Brooke knew that! I sometimes wonder if when someone is eliminated that shouldn't be if the person who should have been going home ever feels like they have enough self-repect to stand up and say, "I am sorry but Carly should not be going home I should and so for that reason I will take her place" now there would be someone who had self respect and was professional enough to be called an American Idol!
Good luck Carly I look forward to your first album and can hardly wait for it to be released in Canada so that I can purchase my copy!
Sincerely and hoping Brooke steps up to the plate next time By the way Mr DreadLocks you should have been in the other bottom two seat not Siesha!

What a disgrace - America you should be ashamed of yourselves - It was bad enough that Michael Johns got axed but now Smithson - This show is about TALENT not boyish good looks or who feels sorry for who - I am watching this from New Zealand - In my opinion the final three should have been Johns - Smithson and Cook who will be next COOK come on America forget the sympathy votes or 'OH he's so cute" vote its time for 'He's BRILLIANT' Vote. At this rate we will end up switching of American Idol as its turning into a joke.

No she never should have been voted off on her sining ability, because that was there. Amercia has American Idol as a popularity contest. Brooke should have gone and Jason, but no.....they are popular. Come on Carly has tattoos and Not all of America likes that. And her husband is full of them. I really hate it when America stero types. I am sad that she is gone from the show, but she will do well!!!!
james Says:
April 30th, 2008 7:35 PM
its truly upsetting. she was the best vocalist of the entire show, as well as my favorite. any sane person could tell you she didnt deserve to sent home, and i am truly disapointed in america...
furthermore, not only did brooke and jason deliver horrible performances, but they did this week as well. but america will vote the syesha...

My daughter and I were very shocked and upset with Carly's removal from Am. Idol. Carly has raw talent, fabulous voice, on pitch, good relations w/ audience. We both truely thought Am. Idol would be between Carly and David Cook. I hope Carly continues to rock on and bless all of us who love her voice with future albums.
We love and miss you Carly!!
