Surface Wound - Carly Hennessy Smithson (2001)

[MavRckProductions]

this song still creeps me out...although i do love carly very much <3

[greenduck1027]

this is my favorite off of ultimate high<3

This should be released as a single. This is the best I have heard her sound. Someone else in the thread mentioned the textures of her voice. I believe the texture of her voice is what separates her from the other Idol contestants. Same goes for David Cook.

reddfactory: I have to agree that Carly and David Cook, in my opinion, stood out far beyond the others because of the texture of their voices, tremendous vocal control and power, and versatility vocally. To me, the two of them should see much more success in the future.

I love when Carly has the rock/soul edge to her pop. I hope she keeps that vibe on her post-Idol record, but I'll buy whatever she puts out. Hopefully, she'll be huge in America after AI.

[agnesmoorhead]

She may be younger here but she still sounds fantastic. Even better today. I don't get why AI and the judges don't "get" Carly why Simon is always riding her.

[JAF5550]

I think she sounded really good back then but she's so much better now. Her voice has matured a lot. I'm looking forward to new music from her.

You are preaching to the choir with me, although I like What I've Found as a favorite, but to each their own. Keep 'em coming hopefully people will hear them all.

Thanks for your comments. I just posted another song from Carly. It's always great to hear from a Carly fan and yes I also love "What I've Found" which in the days of 45 rpm's would be the flip side of her first single instead of track 2. When an album has this many good songs it's hard to pick a favorite. My Carly favorite? Whatever one I'm currently listening to.

[brianscorp05]

I think she is right. This album WILL be huge. Especially after Idol...particularly if she wins Idol. Just watch! And having owned it for several years now myself, I can honestly tell you Ultimate High" IS a great album. Even now in 2008 it still sounds great. Surface Wound is actually one of my favorites so thank you for putting this video together!
