American Idol 7 Top 6 – Carly Smithson

Carly Smithson had chosen “All I Ask of You” and Webber stopped her (thank goodness!) and she started singing “Jesus Christ, Superstar.”  Much better choice if you ask me.  She looks like she is having fun but I’m not loving the vocals very much.  It’s a little cheesy and screechy to me.  Randy said that it wasn’t her best performance but it was definitely good.  He also liked her outfit.  Paula thought it might have been too high of a range for her and Simon said that, aside from it getting a bit “shouty” in the middle, it was one of his favorite performances of the night.
