Carly Smithson dishes on ‘American Idol’, prior professional experience
As the latest female finalist to be shown the door, Carly Smithson thinks American Idol’s seventh season has turned into a popularity contest that is benefiting the boys.
“Women vote for this show. It’s obvious, and they vote for the boys,” Smithson told reporters during a Thursday conference call. “The boys are adorable. I definitely feel like the girls had more of a struggle this year with trying to get the popularity vote. I think the boys are definitely charming the females a lot. I think it was definitely a bit of a struggle for the ladies.”

Yes, they have interesting voices and performance skills, but not enough, imo, to make either Brooke or Jason a star.
Jason really is the personality kid. Adorable. But not the kind of talent that holds fans for long.
