Carly Smithson, The show must go on Studio Version - video

[HarveyBacktheBeatles]

that is a great job

[smilesslovesyou]

YES! Freddy is dead, God rest his soul! But other people should be able sing it too! Seriously, she did a great job. I'm sure freddy would be proud, that his song still stands the test of time. People should be able too sing it if they want too! Just because they're not freddy doesn't make them bad! Yes she can't match freddy, but seriously she did good! stop being a close minded asshole. Songs were brought on his earth to sing, not just to listen too and forget about!

[xitsCASS]

Amazing. I may like this a bit more than the original, and that's saying something. She topped Celine Dion's version, too. <3

[necroshyha]

You could mention it's Queen's cover stupid faggot

[1234kira12345]

she really did freddy justice and thats very hard to do

[sexychrisb]

This lacks A LOT of emotion. I seriously dislike people who think they can get by with a technically good-sounding voice. It's pretentious and quite annoying. Put some damn heart into it.

[zauzau10]

vo é ve crepusculo isso sim nao vo ve essa copia de evanescence nao

[cbotten106]

Awesome! I'm so glad Carly hooked up with some real rockers so she can finally realize her dream.

[underwear90s]

people told me i sound like her,

they tell me i sound like other people like megan joy, allison iraheta, and a lot of other girls.

But im a teen boy that just started to mature, can i lose talent as my voice matures?

i really wanna sing when i grow up, but im worried i wont be able to do it

[RevVic]

The Queen version is my favorite song, but this was better than I thought.

[underwear90s]

should have been the american idol

[griffsshu]

Anyone know where I can download this for my ipod? It's not on itunes anymore :o(.

[sarahfan56]

carly was amazing! i fucing loved her SO much on Idol <3 i wish that she could have gotten 2nd place instead of stupid archuletta!

[carrierox1031]

totally agree..

[XxVampiricAngelxX]

shes in a band now called we are the fallen

check it out

its really good

[craazyonuu]

Nice ending, matched the live performance!! :D

[gnnagtcha]

Personally I think she did great on this song. There are not many people who can match up to Freddie Mercury, but I think she did him justice. It sounds great...

[eileenregina]

Carly Smithson rox ur sox, so if anybody disses her they should know if i ever meet them i will totaly chew them out

[cbotten106]

the judges had an agenda, build up the davids at any cost and carly was a bump in the road to a dueling david finale. you really do not have to dig any deeper than that.

[ssteele1]

The fix was in. There is no doubt about it in my mind. Smithson is easily a more powerful presence vocally than the outcome of American Idol suggests. Life has a way of evening out over time. I am curious to see how well Carly's talent works for her in relation to her counterparts over time. I think she has a bright future.

[eileenregina]

Carly was offered a recording contract bay many different companys but she wants to wait till after the tour before deciding which one to go with

[AmericanIdolVideos95]

it is funny how the Top 3 vocalists were the international ones this year! they all had the talent to win and one of them shouldof . Ramiele picked a bad song, Michael went first the his last week, then Carly, i still can't figure out why she was eliminated, she picked a great song and sang it amazingly!

[XshattereddreeamsX]

I actually loved her performance of this song =) carly rocks

[cbotten106]

Mmm, much talent in this Smithson woman feel I.

- Jedi Master Yoda

[BlingyDamon3]

its ironic that i think this was her worst actual on stage performance but her best studio song haha. but it doesnt matter because in studio or on stage she's always phenominal.

[rbspider]

I love how she sings this song , she looked so great that night too, what a voice.

Carly , can't wait to hear your next CD!

CaRlY RoCkS

[FireOnIce916450]

I love this sond sooooo much!!!! really good. I love u carly!!!! u rock hard!!!!!!!

[Citabria007]

Cunty shitson needs to be be kicked out of the country.

[FireOnIce916450]

ur a loser!!!! u racest or somthig?? imean come on!!!

[LucyJudePrudence]

ya he or she definetly is racist but you know what, idiots can be idiots and we all know that carly has an amazing voice and it doesn't matter where she was born.

[FireOnIce916450]

i know right!!!!!

[alley4445]

carly deserves to be in the top 3 more than anyone!!!!!!!!!

[lovelybabymay]

Yeah, definitely!

[LucasPeyton4ever]

I wish Carly was in the top 3. ={

[cbotten106]

I thought she handled the pressure as well or better than anyone. The pressure is there you cannot deny it with 20+ million people watching and Simon waiting with a nasty quip at the end of every performance. I thought everything she did was fantastic. I agree she was head and shoulders above the competition but she was clearly involved with this show for national exposure. She wasn't cast to win, it is simple as that or Simon would have never said the things that he did.

[bakatais]

This girl CAN sing. She has the best voice in the competition. There isn't even a comparison between her and the rest. She can sing anything unlike the rest. Too bad the pressure is getting into her and she's not doing as great as she should be live. If the competition was about the best voice, she should already be crowned the winner, but in reality, it's a popularity contest. I don't see her winning with the two Davids around. I hope she makes it to top 3 at least.

[Kakashiis2sexii4u]

Its really too bad she went... Syesha should have gone.

[lf1234]

Jason or Brooke should've gone.

[Icycheetah01]

no syesha and carly david cook have the stronger voices if anything Jason should of gone he just isn't strong enough to stay in

[Kakashiis2sexii4u]

I tyhink Jason is amazing. if anyone should WIN american idol its Jason.

[chelzreia]

David Cook should win AI!! he's amazing!

[middlekid95]

i think Syesha should have gone istead of Carly...

[bryantphan]

Well, Syesha is going next.

Then Jason.

Then David A.

Then David Cook wins.

[archuletagirl08]

actually it was jason(he sukz)

then syesha

and the 2 davidz went home at the same time

u got it twisted hunny!

but she shouldhave stayed instead of brook and chikeze should have stayed instead of jason!!

[bryantphan]

Haha.

Those were just my predictions...

[irishsweethearttx]

I think Brooke should have left over Carly. That week, Brooke did terrible, and Carly and Syesha did the best out of the whole top 6. I think they should have been safe, with Jason and Brooke in the bottom. But people raved about Carly's song being contrevercial.

[cr500thegirl]

i know pepeol are crazy she should have been in the top 3 but no the least talented jason had to go brrrrr is it to late to take him out lol

[irishsweethearttx]

Naw, I went a little overboard. Everyone deserved to be there, everything happens for a reason.

[eileenregina]

I agree with you i think its more a popularity contest now and people wouldnt vote for carly as she is tattooed which is pathetic as her tats are cool and tats dont affect your voice.

they think she is another amie whinehouse

[cbotten106]

It is a subtle form of spamming where "other Idol" fans come over and talk about their favorites in the hope that someone will get interested enough to check out the "competition", I use that word rather loosely there. Another favorite is to post that they "used to be a Carly fan" but this performance is so bad that they have turned their backs on her. Silly stuff.

Bottom line: Carly rocks!

[irishsweetheatx]

Why are people talking about "David Archuleta" when this is a "Carly Smithson video" ?

[athousandstrats]

One of the best singers ever to be on the show. Definitely better than most of the winners.

[xxIceWiccanxx]

Carly sounds amazing in the studio versions. It seems to me like she's more comfortable. I don't know what happened with her on stage, but the past few weeks, she just seems so tense.

[TheUberMou]

I think she's just letting the pressure get to her.

[cbotten106]

You mean lil' Archie isn't an Angel? Boo hoo!

Seriously, this studio recording has a couple things going for it, first, it has all the lyrics and is complete. Secondly, Carly doesn't get wrapped up in trying to add extra to the glory notes in studio, like she is wont to do on the Idol stage. That is what the show is about, to some extent, so I don't blame her. And finally, she messed up the end of the live one a bit.

[cherrycheeeks22]

go david archudorable!

[IsraeliMusicTV]

the best. love her!

[livy16]

This is much better than her live one, but many things could've gone wrong for her that day. Carly and David Cook are my top two. I love them both!

[lovinpeas]

I WANT HER TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nafalia]

still don't like it, this song has nothing to do with her

[RequiemLacrimosa]

and I highly doubt Angels has anything to do with Iguana Archuleta...As a matter of fact, none of the songs they sing have anything to do with them. So there, statement invalidated.

[JohnathanDavidMedia]

Yeah, very good point...

[athousandstrats]

why the hell does that matter?

[xman7727]

much much better than her live version

[lvu16]

shes got the best studio voice

[UltraVioletWay]

I love this girl...she's so unique! Something unusual for her went wrong in the live performance, but even if she had sang it exactly as this awesome studio version, I think that people would have seen it as a weird choice. Everyone expected hippie-calmed down kind of songs, most voters could not get the power of this one. I do admire her even more for taking the risk of this choice.

Thank you for posting this! :)

[oliviasaintlaurent]

so much better than the live version.... I was so convinced she was going home.... **relief**!!!!!

[lf1234]

She SHOULD win because she the only singer left who can sing ANYTHING, like the first Idol- Kelly Clarkson. She could sing any song with anyone. That is what makes a career.

[xxilovegeewayxx]

she is safe!! what a relief! i must admit, her live version wasn't so good as "here you come again" but both studio versions are terrific!! this just shows what kind of album she'll put out after AI07. her voice is truly amazing!!

[kracob17]

well its good that it wasnt carly who went home tonight.

[cbotten106]

The fact is that she is there, was cast on this show, as a big voice belter. And if she is smart she doesn't get cute and try to recast herself. She belts because that is her job! All her studio versions are toned down without the belting. I don't like this as much as the show version, well I like its completeness. It is very good but lacks the "fire in the belly" aspect the live version brings. Just my preference. She is fantastic though!

[rrrosssesss]

according wikipedia... she leaves tonight!!!

[buffymovies]

what a reliable source

[mylofox2020]

well i checked wikipedia it just says TBA under her profile and nothing under AI7.

where on wikipedia did you see that?

[RequiemLacrimosa]

this is perfect, she just slipped up a little bit in the live version.

[BBMFan85]

I hope she stays in the competition much longer. She probably has the best studio voice of all the contestants. Thanks for posting this!

[mylofox2020]

i like this version....she sounds quite good in this....compared to the live version for some reason....or maybe cause i heard it with microphones.

[tdunnsurv]

I wish you could have sang like this live. This is wonderful. Goes to show that you don't have to do all these fancy things to a song to try and proove yourself.
