save the best for last?

8:55 Time for the controversial Carly Hennessy. She apparently now goes by Carly Smithson. Convenient.

Brief recap of her story: She's from Ireland. She auditioned a couple years ago, got the OK, but got disqualified because her visa didn't go through. But the story doesn't stop there. Under the name of Carly Hennessy, she also had a contract with MCA, the label spent $2 million on her, and she totally bombed. Get the whole story here. Actually, as of now, her MCA site is still up, too. Check it out here.

OK, she sings "I'm Every Woman" and does really well. Simon says it wasn't as good as two years ago. Three-way yes. What a surprise.

how on EARTH would Simon remember what she sounded like 2 years ago? he has to listen to literally millions of performances every year. I think he's just being crabby.
