Photo by American Idol dot comThere were few surprises with the first round of eliminations and most of the chatter surrounding the show this year is over Idol hopeful Carly Smithson and a few of the other Idols who have professional pasts. The shows claim to fame has always been to find obscure talent and make them into recording artists. Carly Smithson, 24, has made headlines because she has had a pre-idol music career; The singer who hails from Ireland, recorded a debut album in 2001 called "Ultimate High," for MCA Records. It crashed and burned big time selling only 400 copies after the label spent more than $2 million trying to sell it. Ooops!
Kristy Lee Cook once had a deal in Nashville with Arista Records and rocker Robbie Carrico was part of the pop group Boyz N Girlz United.
Paula referenced this criticism in the elimination round show by stating, "If they hadn't already tried to make a name for themselves, then they don't deserve to be in (the) competition." She also added that Kelly Clarkson had pursued a recording career before Idol as well.
Thursday's elimination show also featured the Video of Paula Abdul's new single, "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow." which was produced by fellow Judge Randy Jackson.
"American Idol," is currently airing 3 days a week until March 11 when the elimination of the final dozen begins. The finale will be held in the spring.
