There has been recent Controversy with Carly's fansite Carly'sAngels. It appears that the owners of the site wants to have sections on there that would drive members away from it such as an Adults Only. One member has stated that the site doesn't need anything like that and it should be family friendly. Another controversy reguarding the Carly'sAngels.net site is that the owners doesn't know how to run a site properly which is where the Adult and the Teens sections come along. Another Controversy has surdaced when a Carly'sAngels member has felt left out on projects like for example the most recent project for Smithson's 26th Birthday. On September 18 2009 a member has urged everyone to go to Carly'sAngels.net and tell Cheryl Pete at carlysangels.net@gmail.com that you want big changes to the site. |

==Biography== |
|||
===Early years=== |
|||
Carly (Hennessy) Smithson was born on September 12, 1983 in Dublin, Ireland to parents Marie Murray and Luke Hennessy.{{fact|date=December 2008}} After living 6 months in Dublin, Smithson and her parents moved to [[Johannesburg]], South Africa. She lived there till they moved back to Dublin when she was 4 years old. She started singing at the age of around 4 and also has some experience with acting. She was featured in advertisements for Denny's Sausage for three years, starting at the age of five. In 1990 she played Young Marianne in ''Fools of Fortune''.<ref name="geffen">[http://www.geffen.com/carlyhennessy Carly Hennessy]. ''Geffen''. 2001-08-08.</ref> 2 years later in 1992 she joined the cast of Les Misérables and starred as Little Cosette in Ireland. When Smithson was 10, she released an independent CD: ''Carly's Christmas Album'' in the UK.<ref name="geffen" /> When she was 14, her parents separated.

|||
==Musical background== |
|||
Before her marriage to Todd Smithson, Carly Smithson (as Carly Hennessy) released an album for [[MCA Records]] called ''[[Ultimate High]]'' in 2001. Smithson has stated that the album did not have the opportunity to find an audience, due to the record company's merger with a parent company. Though some established artists like Sheryl Crow survived the merger, yet-to-be-released artists did not; Smithson's album was released, but with limited promotion <ref name="NewYorkTimes" >[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE2DB143CF932A15751C1A96E958260&n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/Subjects/M/Music]. ''The New York Times''</ref>. Consequently, it sold just 300 copies in the first three months.<ref name="cases">{{cite web |url=http://aaahq.org/southeast/2003/cases/SubID_249.pdf |title=The Brief Career of Carly Hennessy (A Look at the Economics of Pop Music) |format=pdf |work=American Accounting Association }}</ref>. MCA Records spent over $2 million on the production and promotion of Smithson's album <ref name="cases" /> which was finally released on November 13, 2001<ref name="cases" />. |
|||
Smithson covered [[Danielle Brisebois]]' "Just Missed the Train" on her 2001 album and Kelly Clarkson covered the same song on her 2003 release, "Thankful". |
|||
Following her success as Carly Smithson on American Idol, copies of "Ultimate High" are popping up on shelves of Borders Bookstores and Virgin Records stores.{{fact|date=November 2008}} The album, and the music video for "I'm Gonna Blow Your Mind", is also available as a download on iTunes.{{fact|date=November 2008}} For a brief period of time after Carly's elimination, the album made a peak in the Top 10 of Amazon's Top Selling Digital Albums, as well as being featured on the MP3 homepage. |
|||
===Personal life=== |
|||
After Smithson's record deal dissolved, she decided to take a break from music.<ref name="mtv">[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1586223/20080424/index.jhtml Carly Smithson Says 'Idol' Is 'A Bit Of A Struggle For The Ladies']. ''MTV''. 2001-04-24.</ref> She met her husband Todd Smithson, a tattoo artist, in Los Angeles. They lived in [[Marietta, Georgia]] for a few years, where Smithson worked at an Irish bar called Fado. In a coincidental connection, [[Michael Johns (singer)|Michael Johns]] (another American Idol contestant) performed weekly at Fado, under his real name Michael Lee.<ref name="atlantajournal">[http://www.accessatlanta.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/accessatlanta/peachbuzz/entries/2008/04/25/a_good_sign_for.html 'Idol' Hopeful Ousted, But Upbeat]. ''Atlana Journal-Constitution''. 2008-04-25.</ref> In 2005, Smithson and her husband returned to San Diego, where they currently reside. Smithson, then, auditioned in Las Vegas for American Idol season 5; she was unanimously accepted, however, she was later disqualified because paperwork for her work visa was delayed. In 2007, she auditioned again for American Idol Season 7, once again making it to Hollywood, but this time having the proper paperwork. |
|||
Smithson has an older half-brother, Nik<ref name="tvguide">[http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/carly-smithson/bio/292522 Carly Smithson Biography]. ''TV Guide''.</ref> and a younger sister, Shannon. |
|||

===''American Idol''=== |
|||
[[Image:CarlySmithson.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Smithson performing during the American Idols Live! Tour 2008.]] |
|||
====Season 5==== |
|||
Carly Smithson auditioned for American Idol in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]] during the show's [[American Idol (season 5)|fifth season]]; she made it to Hollywood but was disqualified because the paperwork for her work [[Visa (document)|visa]] was delayed. |
|||
====Season 7==== |
|||
Carly Smithson auditioned for American Idol at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium on July 30 and July 31, 2007. She advanced with a unanimous vote after singing "I'm Every Woman." Simon Cowell noted that he remembered Smithson from her Season 5 audition. In Hollywood, she sang Heart's "Alone" for her audition and received unanimous praise from Randy, Paula and Simon. Smithson was one of the first foreign contestants to make the Top 12 (along with Michael Johns, an Australian). Smithson was eliminated on April 23rd, 2008. Her final performance on American Idol was considered one of her best by the judges. |
|||
Smithson successfully auditioned again for Season 7 of [[American Idol]] and made the top 24. Shortly thereafter, articles appeared in the mainstream press, criticizing her selection because of her previous record deal. Smithson acknowledged her previous record deal on the February 20, 2008 episode of ''American Idol'', and stated that the record label 'imploded'. |
|||
During the competition, Smithson's fanbase names were "Fighting Irish" and the "Smithsonians". |
|||
Smithson was eliminated after performing [[Superstar (Jesus Christ Superstar song)|Superstar]] from [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]'s ''[[Jesus Christ Superstar]]'' on April 23, 2008. The day before she was eliminated [[Simon Cowell]] stated, "I thought that was the best performance of the night so far." After Simon stated that comment, Smithson pulled out a t-shirt sent to her by her fans with a sign on it that says "Simon Loves Me (this week)." |
|||
After [[Ryan Seacrest]] announced the elimination Cowell said:<ref name="mtv"/>{{cquote|I apologize for giving you a compliment last night—kiss of death, but let me tell you, Carly, you can leave with your head held high.}} |
|||
====American Idol Controversy==== |
|||
Smithsons' 6th place elimination 'shocker' on April 23rd, 2008 prompted an unprecedented reaction, with angry bloggers questioning the popular program's credibility amidst reports from fans of busy signals throughout the voting period<ref name="LATimes">[http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2008/04/american-idol-7.html] ''Los Angeles Times'' 2008-04-23</ref><ref name="chicagotribune">[http://www.courant.com/news/chi-american_idol_personalsapr24,0,6746074.story] ''Chicago Tribune''</ref><ref name="mtv">[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1586223/20080424/index.jhtml Carly Smithson Says 'Idol' Is 'A Bit Of A Struggle For The Ladies'] ''MTV'' 2001-04-24</ref><ref name=autogenerated1>[http://articles.latimes.com/2008/04/23/calendar/et-channel23 'Idol' votes no on tallies]</ref><ref name="LosAngelesTimes">[http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2008/04/american-idol-8.html] ''Los Angeles Times''</ref>. One writer for Entertainment Weekly coined the show "America's Embarrassing Lapses In Judgement," saying "Carly Smithson was sent packing, despite a rendition of "Jesus Christ Superstar" that Jesus himself would have been hard-pressed to top" <ref name="EntertainmentWeekly">[http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/04/on-the-scene--3.html?cid=112140438#comment-112140438]. ''Entertainment Weekly''. 2008-04-23.</ref>. There were renewed claims of "fixing" and calls for the show to publish precise voting totals, resulting in a release credited to Fox and show producers: "The network and producers will not disclose voting tallies for the competition, as the release of such information would only serve to create additional rumor and speculation", conflicting with executive producer Ken Warwick's claim that they were open to scrutiny, quoted "No one is saying you can't look at them."<ref name=autogenerated1 /> |
|||
Another controversy involving Smithson is that Randy Jackson worked for MCA during the same period of time that Smithson was signed<ref>[http://www.allbusiness.com/services/motion-pictures/4801703-1.html Jackson Playing In Mca's Band | Business solutions from AllBusiness.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.dailyvidette.com/media/paper420/news/2005/02/03/EZone/american.Idol.Judge.Randy.Jackson.Strives.For.Stardom-851165.shtml The Daily Vidette<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. |

===Post ''Idol''=== |
|||
[[Image:Carly Smithson.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Smithson signing autographs during the American Idols Live! Tour 2008.]] |
|||
After she was eliminated on ''American Idol'', Smithson made many appearances on shows, such as: ''[[Live with Regis and Kelly]]'', ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'', ''[[Access Hollywood]]'', and ''[[Today (NBC program)|Today]]''. |
|||
During her appearances on ''Access Hollywood'' and ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'', she sang "[[Alone (Heart song)|Alone]]" by [[Heart (band)|Heart]]. She also appeared on ''Live with Regis and Kelly'' performing the song "Here You Come Again", which she had previously performed during the Top 9 Dolly Parton week. |
|||
Smithson stated, in a June 15 blog on her Myspace page, that "I have gained so much confidence from this experience", but she also noted that "[it] is very hard to continue believing in yourself when [you] are being judged through a microscope by the world on a weekly basis but having all of [my fans] behind me and believing in me has helped me get stronger each day. The one thing [I] have learned through this whole experience is that perfection is ugly. I found so many imperfections about myself in the past year that I didn't see before. I hated them and tried to cover them up. It took me a while to understand this but [my flaws] are part of my character and make me who I am. I have learned to embrace them and you should too."[17] |
|||
She has filmed a commercial with fellow finalists, Syesha Mercado and Brooke White. |
|||
Smithson completed the ''[[American Idols LIVE! Tour 2008]]'', which ran from July 1, 2008 to September 13, 2008. She sang "[[Bring Me To Life]]" by [[Evanescence]], "[[Crazy On You]]" by [[Heart]], and "[[I Drove All Night]]" by [[Cyndi Lauper]]. |
|||
Two new songs called "Lay With Me" and "Let Me Fall" have been recorded and are in a video of Carly recording songs for her album. |
|||
During the 8th season of American Idol Carly Smithson was there for the Idol Hollywood Week helping the contestants in their Boot Camp Training during the week. This footage wound up on the cutting room floor. Later, during the first set of 12 in the Top 36, on February 18, 2009 Carly and Michael Johns performed "The Letter" live on the results show, and later appeared at the finale as a reporter to cover the events of celebration in San Diego, which was [[Adam Lambert]]'s hometown. |
|||
Smithson was putting the finishing touches on her post-idol album, her second overall album, but it was announced on June 18, 2009 that Smithson would be joining forces with ex-Evanescence guitarist/writer [[Ben Moody]] in a new touring band called "[[We Are the Fallen]]," thought to be named after [[Fallen (Evanescence album)|Evanescence's debut album]].<ref>[http://www.popeater.com/music/article/carly-smithson-in-evanescence-offshoot/532428 Carly Smithson in Evanescence Offshoot]</ref> The new solo album she had been recording, has been scrapped. She is now working on her new group's album and touring. However, Smithson later confirmed on her [[Twitter]] that she was still working on her solo album. |

There has been recent Controversy with Carly's fansite Carly'sAngels. It appears that the owners of the site wants to have sections on there that would drive members away from it such as an Adults Only. One member has stated that the site doesn't need anything like that and it should be family friendly. Another controversy reguarding the Carly'sAngels.net site is that the owners doesn't know how to run a site properly which is where the Adult and the Teens sections come along. Another Controversy has surdaced when a Carly'sAngels member has felt left out on projects like for example the most recent project for Smithson's 26th Birthday. On September 18 2009 a member has urged everyone to go to Carly'sAngels.net and tell Cheryl Pete at carlysangels.net@gmail.com that you want big changes to the site.
