American Idol 7 Top 10 - Carly Smithson - Total Eclipse

[eks00961]

hee, my name's Erin Smithson!

llllooooovvveee :D

[Earssss]

geezzz she sounds like a butch 

[thegorgeousgeeks]

Not as good as the original. Bonnie Tyler had so much emotion in each line. I liked Diary of a Wimpy version better than this too.

[MrFredje1972]

the wrong song for this voice

[ipodboy3]

omg she is really good. I'm surprised cuz usually american idol singers are terrible. this song was PERFECT for her. bravo.

[GothicPaganGirl]

She made it anyways :D She is a great singer for We Are The Fallen :)

[Amyescence]

You kidding right? Next Celine Dion? Not even if she died and was born again. No one will top Celine Dion, bitches.

[squirtlemcgee]

I don't the back up singers are bad, I just don't think their voices suited Carly's.

I love this song and I think Carly rocked it. :)

[jerppaee]

just perfect imo

[r0ck99videos]

i love carly!

[jaycewheeled]

As far as this song is concerned she's absolutely stunning.

And...she's Irish, another good point on her part (I love that country) :)

[Daaann23]

this woman is nicely curved.. and she has an amazing voice.,

Lets see if you can do better

[1227mame]

fat bitch...........

buhhh love her singing=)

[koolchik2010]

@1227mame dude your rude

[Goodness250]

@1227mame Fat? Why don't you make a video of yourself there hotshot?

[iwayovelayouyay123]

@1227mame Im glad you love you singing :) But how is she fat?? I think she is beautiful and probably average sized. Especially in todays world where everyone eats tons of fast food and is obese.

[demonhoopa]

@1227mame Fat? That's weak dude. There's nothing wrong with the way this young lady looks.

[LacrymosaLies]

@1227mame Carly is literally the perfect size. She's the same size as Amy Lee and most of the other positive role models young girls should be looking up to. Maybe you ought to stop looking up to the wrong kind of people and learn not to be so rude.

[ma223790]

The back up singers kind of messed it up bc no one will ever sound like Rory Dodd. That's the problem when people try to sing this song, the "turn arounds and bright eyes" can't be properly bitten.

[ErikaMusicLove]

really amazing girl

wowww

you're awesome!!

[bionicrat]

I'm with Paula it was great!

[makaylaellen123]

shes really good :D

[Koetje1978]

General comment,

Sometimes i thinking that you never come around,but she has a different warming voice tough.

Like it also very much and also everybody needs a chance.

[shellymac81]

very good and i agree she should have won

[chunkyxsushi]

Oh god...

[pingelkissa]

Her voice is a bit too deep.

[superstar1464]

I was sooo pissed when she lost. I still am. She should have won.

[nahnuhhuh]

she's great. Have you seen the original Bonnie Tylers video??? have you heard that??? this girl Carly's better...

[xxCASHiExx]

better than the original.

[samanthaexp]

she sounds terrible...shes pretty BUT A TERRIBLE VOICE

[mewally123]

I agreed with Paulla.

She has a beautiful voice.

And, that song was perfect for her voice.

[mikelynncrowe7]

I had forgotten how good this particullar Idol contestant was

[fulla1]

totally agree to the jury

[Danklin24]

Jessica Sierra's was a bit better.

[dzastahjr]

she has a deep voice at the begininning and a little thru the song

[MrJudube]

that last note was sung with effort but still in tune. Randy was told to carp at something because they had already decided to flush her. She wasn't popular enaugh.

[tnsfmj15]

wow.. her mother looks very young and beautiful.. more beautiful than her..

[sneakapeeker]

Wow she sings this one so good !!!!!!!!!!! Never mind she sings them all good. I am a big Carley fan hell yes . YOu sing it sister!!!!!!!!!!!! Shame on simon for saying she needs a better sylist for her clothes how dare he.

[DonRonter]

Her Mom is hotter than her.

[kadangkaler]

@DonRonter what minute did her mom appear??O.o

[JonnyJuanJon]

That last note was not good... She killed it for me.

[i2l3e4a5n6a]

did she ever make an album? cuz if she didnt she totally should cuz her voice is great

[ShaulHaShablul]

agreed she's great. she has a band now We Are The Fallen but they have only like 2 original songs

[RayatoTV]

she formed a band with the old members of Evanescence called We Are the Fallen

[arturesteve]

@i2l3e4a5n6a She has a pre-Idol pop album called Ultimate High, and she has a band now called We Are The Fallen

[personwithoutsoul]

bad

[hornlalo]

she had lots of mistakes during the performance with the lyricsbut she has an awesome voice!!

[dontbesuchabeezy]

wow her wow looks great for being older.

i hope i look that good at that age =]

[rockstarmax]

Excellent!

[dinutzu4all]

niki evans from x factor does it godlike ! i think niki does it simply the best

[evanescence113]

This was pretty good, but Jessica Sierra did it better.

[cbotten106]

This is really good. The studio version from iTunes is excellent.

[emilia223]

her voice is just amazing

[randomnessjunk]

Terrible backing singers.

She has potential to become the next Celine Dion.

[princeman26]

@randomnessjunk She's the new lead singer of Evanessence!

[mymytvs16]

@princeman26 she has her own band its called the fallen but there is most of the people from evanesanse in it.

[gabogski]

@randomnessjunk I second that on both accounts.

[Ardositocro]

@randomnessjunk next Celine Dion :S pull your self toger man couse you can't be serious with the statement you just said :S

[svcrunner27]

@randomnessjunk

Not quite. She's the lead singer of "We Are the Fallen". She's great none the less.

[LUKEALAIPALELEI]

@randomnessjunk are you joking no one is like celine dion

[AshtonElijah]

@randomnessjunk The next Celine Dion? lol There is no 'next Celine Dion.' You mean the next Amy Lee wannabe?

[rpcarnell]

@randomnessjunk She is with "We are the Fallen" now

[PaleLittleGirl1]

great performance....i'm not a big fan of some of her decisions....(We Are the Fallen) but she's got a great voice, seriously.

[heartagramaddiction]

If you're going to cover a song...at lest get the lyrics right :/

[ash4teen]

OMG she is SOOOOOOO fuckin GOOD. she should have won with no doubt. Simon and randy aren t to the same thing i am. And paula rules she is so cute...ahah simon loves paula

[Illuminati10101]

A quote from one of Amy Lee's songs (Evanescence) about Carly Smithson.

Further Away:

I took their smiles and I made them mine

I sold my soul just to hide the light

And now I see what I really am,

A thief, a whore, and a liar!

[Spursrule1969]

Dude your turning into a stalker!

[Illuminati10101]

awesome,....thanks man! :)

[GothicAngel600]

That's bullshit, and you know it.

[Darkblade886]

Where to begin... First of all, the song is "Farther Away" not "Further Away." Secondly, Amy did not write that about Carly. Evanescence and We Are The Fallen can peacefully coincide together on this planet, believe it or not. Btw Carly is amazing. ;)

[Illuminati10101]

Sigh,....where to begin.

1st. The Song is listed on "Not for your Ears" as Further Away not Farther Away. Not that it makes any difference because if you cared to look it up they mean the same thing, it's a matter of choice.

2nd Click on my name and look at my Channel and figure out that I know Amy never wrote that about her,it's sarcasm.

3rd Carly Smithson sucks donkey balls.

[Illuminati10101]

Oh and btw,..if you'd like a little more proof,...google "Not for your Ears" and look at the track listings,....on ANY site.

Further Away.

Think before you type. I'm surprised this dumb cunt knew the capital of her own country.

Hope she goes back there sometime soon,....sixth place game show contestant....lmao.

[dergru]

more like amy talkin about yer mom

stfu

[happyfeetxxo]

her mom is hot

[x3HeadFirst3x]

i still like Alliso Iraheta's version from when she like 14, 15.

I am singing that song now, and I am looking at that song with her voice because i have a talking voice thats raspy, like hers, and im her age when she sang that song, 14, but Carly did do a nice job!!!

[MeLoveMusiic]

Beautiful girl.<3

[arturesteve]

Go Paula, her vodka and Vicodin! She rocked it, Randy and Simon should have taken the stick out their asses, she rocked

[nightslapper]

waaa

[nightslapper]

u rock carly!!

[alinaservantes2006]

i think that was a great song and she sang it really good

[cbotten106]

Carly looks so cute at the end when the judges are working her over. I'll never understand Randy's (negative) critiques of Carly's rock oriented performances on Idol. It would seem as if he almost had an agenda.

[jrock2264]

She should have made it to the finals w/David Cook. She got better as the show went on. Season 7 was awesome. Season 8 was forgettable....

[Icespeller]

i got to see carly at the sga opening ceremony

[bluenicole25]

amazing

[blue3u]

i wish people in german casting-shows could sind like her ;-)

greez from germany xD

[purelyshameless]

you're soo right but with the crap that DSDS (German Idol) has become - I'm hopeless really :(

[cbotten106]

Allison's was a mess, like a lot of her stuff. But I guess "LUV" is deaf as well as blind. Brooke just can't sing...period.

[cbotten106]

Carly's voice is really fantastic. I really like her old album Ultimate High. She has a real vocal flexibility that most singer could only dream of.

[12345carlyfan]

Yes, this is Carly the lead singer of We Are The Fallen. Her voice is amazing-she rocks!!!

[GothicEeore]

is this carly from we are the fallen?

[cbotten106]

Carly is an amazing singer.

[soiirodrigo]

Hi! I have all auditions of American Idol season 8 in HD in my channel. Everyday i'm uploading more auditions , and then i will upload hollywood Week, Workshops, Concerts and more, pls subscribe and coment, thanks :D Rodrigo, espero que me visiten, pronto tendre mas novedades para ustede, chau! cuidense :D

[darkridor74]

she sings bad?? what about the original singer of this song?? she sang it better?? i don't think so...this young lady sings her a** off....i never watched American Idol this season...this young lady has made me regret that...i think she is great..Best of luck to you Carly Smithson!!!

[yameted]

she sings really bad and is that a big tatoo on her arm? looks tacky for a girl.

[musicchild88]

then it should look tacky on both sexes right? why just for a girl?

[MEE051677]

LOL...sings bad! That's funny!

[ichishow]

fuck offfffffffffffffffffffffffffff­fffffff

AMY RULES!

[MEE051677]

um since when did Amy sing Total Eclipse Of The Heart??

[ichishow]

LOL this song is HOLY SHIT baby

[MEE051677]

the song may be..but she is not!

[EvanescenceLova]

That is not amy Lee! >=o! You bad person. that's Carly Smithson.. = =

[MEE051677]

calm down, calm down! I know very well who she is! It was a response to someone else who said it was Amy Lee! It just didn't go underneath the comment as a reply! Believe I could never confuse Carly with anybody else!

[EvanescenceLova]

Oh okies. my bads. x x Sorry for the misunderstanding! D:

[MEE051677]

it's all good! I can see how it would look like that was what i meant! :)~

[KerrisLibertina]

WOW that was actually spot on....terriffic!!!

[thornolie]

I love Carly Smithson! She really is great! I do think though that she was pushing her pure chest a little to high. She should've mixed a little more. Love her though!

[xaviergizmo]

okay, too aggressive. Sounds almost like the song is too big for her.

[cbotten106]

Loved this performance. Carly went after nearly every song on Idol with 100% of what she had. She said the goal was to push the vocal.

[xobonnietylerluverxo]

she sounds more like nicky french more than bonnie tyler. she didn't do that good:/

[polsotnekgin]

Too aggressive, faaaaar too aggressive.

[bioogisha]

I agree!

[piekarins]

one of the best songs , witch are performed of one of the best singers in this season. Maybe she wasn`t the best, maybe it`s better, that she didn`t win, but this song will always be in my memories, and that was perfect performance. :)

[butmunch34]

she's so good whats wrong with simon his opinion is really stupid it used to be good but it keeps getting worse and randy was never right

[SnapeLover789654]

This was uploaded on my birthday. :o

[evilutioncalling]

Her Moms hot, but she clearly isn't connecting with the material .This chicks never had her fukin heart ripped out by an unrequited love and is cheesing out with the overemoting.

Manly overtones to her voice too. Some power and talent, but raw raw raw. Amatuer with potential but bad song selection.

[ZivXanthus]

This is a tough tough song to sing, but I think Carly did amazing. She gave me chills like crazy

[fordorgnew]

StupidRandy - this is nor the song for you?!?! What and idiot! She sounded like Bonnie Tyler!!! Hellooooo!

[12345carlyfan]

Randy is an idiot. Carly did a great job on this song.

[lcecmmkp]

Randy is right, this was not sung in tune.

[FM897]

Damn. Perfect song for her. She almost looks a little bit like Bonnie Tyler.

[morangobelinha]

ai que música chaata

[cbotten106]

Are you talking about the cover by Nathalie Schmeikel on Swedish Idol, because that performance isn't even in the same league as version by Carly here. Nathalie drops more lyrics on practically every line and her tone is pretty amateurish, all my opinions. .

[Lillnea115]

I think it wasent so good! A swedish artist in idol have sing this song much better :D<3 Look at her.

[cbotten106]

Swedish artist?  WTF, where do these people come from?

[pirateofthecarabiner]

ABBA?

[12345carlyfan]

Yeah, you can see why Carly is so stunning-it runs in the family.

[Isthistakenn]

her mother is good looking

[Danklin24]

That wasnt bad but jessica Sierra owned this song.

[dukakiller]

she is a good cover singer...but she has no x factor !!

[cbotten106]

And thank goodness for that. Simon Cowell can take his creation, the X-factor, and plant it deeply in his fat Limey arse.

[cbotten106]

I really, really like Carly's cover of this song.

Curious that the judges took her to task so severely on a performance this good. What I mean is, if the show wasn't fixed and scripted, it would have been curious.

[Be7oxky]

actualli it was a really good cover, youre totally right, Ive been thinking the same all this time, those are the things that make people think that not always americe choose their idols...

[funkadelic89]

stfu randy.

[12345carlyfan]

I don't think Carly is boring at all-she's one of the most unique and cool people that has ever been on Idol. I met her on the tour and she certainly wasn't boring. She rocks!!!

[NIGELTHA1andONLY]

she has a great voice but shes boring

[salizarrr]

she also had an album before this, i still love her though

[raiders4life2010]

WTF is Paula wearing! Carly did great though!

[peteyboyblue]

she's HOT

[Chicano4LifeEse]

Incredible. Randy's a jerk.

[MiilkyMel]

A voz dela é muito mais bonita do que a de várias pessoas,confesso que é mais bonita que a minha, mas achei ela um pouquinho sem sal.  MiilkyMel

[12345carlyfan]

I totally agree-no one this season is anywhere near to Carly's talent. Her voice is flawless.

[cbotten106]

There isn't anyone on Idol in season eight that is close to bringing this quality of performance. The power, control and emotion are simply fantastic.

[raiders4life2010]

I think Allison could nail this song. Allison and Kris Allen are my top2 for idol season 8

[0weddy0]

i remeber this episode from amirecan idol last year and i loved that and i still love it

[ilovekelly75]

Dude, the ending is ridiculous! You go girl!

[freakyricky555]

she singed this song so perfectly

[wierdstuff94]

she was the best pearson to ever step on that stage i was so mad when she didnt make it and this is the best song ever

[xrherman]

randys comments towards carly and syesha were so off most of the time.. i think kara should replace him

[bonfirejovi]

lol the mum looks the same age as the daughter

[12345carlyfan]

Marie is even prettier and younger looking in person. I had the priveledge of meeting her on the tour when she was visiting Carly and she's a sweet lady. You can see where Carly gets it from.

[cbotten106]

Carly's mother is stunning!

[Darkblade886]

Most amazing contestant ever to step foot on that show!!!

[redrox4evr]

lol i love the way she says curly!!!!

[tommyg4141]

Oh man I miss her on the show. She's freaking amazing. I'm definitely buying her album when it comes out.

[silviussina94]

Simply Beautiful *-*

[sanj004]

what the hell was randy on about?!?!?!?! That last note was AMAZINGG!!!!!

And that was the PERFECT song choice!!!

[12345carlyfan]

I totally agree-Carly is the best.  She rocks!!! Can't wait for her album.

[herstory4real]

shes didn't get a record deal

[goxredskinsx21]

shes the best idol contestant in all of the seasons! no questions asked!

[jailau]

She's great!! should be on the top 3..

[gurnip1]

yeh shes awesome

[cbotten106]

Carly's studio version of this song is hauntingly beautiful.

[12345carlyfan]

Yeah, Carly's fans think she's amazing and she's worked so hard and deserves another chance. She is going to be successful this time and will be a superstar. Just wait and see.

[WinstonioW]

Hey, yo all you 'Carly Smithson Fans', look what I found:

"Fair or not, Smithson became the subject of much resentment from some "Idol" fans after revelations that she'd had a major recording contract and, as alleged in a Wall Street Journal article, the record company spent more than $2 million to promote the album that sold just 400 copies. She finished sixth during the seventh season of "Idol."

[Darkblade886]

That news is so old! Do you really think we havent heard about this? What do you have against people who want a second chance???

[exsane]

For once I agree with Simon!

[gjbmo]

she rock's her and david archuleta are the best in this seasom

[XDI83ID8]

No. David Archuleta was nice at first. But it was the same thing over and over and over again. Him standing up and a stage singing with his eyes closed for like 3 minutes.
