Carly Smithson
Sings "Blackbird". Don't know this song either. But she's great. Good choice for her.
Randy: Another great performance. Very emoted. Love that, man. Very nice. Cooliosis! [that's what he said, lol]
Paula: The arrangement was beautiful. All of you are challenging each other.
Simon: I thought the song was indulgent (loud booing)
Carly explains why she chose the song: "We are all like broken birds" because they've been beaten down, trying to get into the music business. "And now we're free!"
Paula gives her a standing-o for that one. The audience cheers.
Simon: Now I feel really uncomfortable. I think you're all broken birds now.
Simon's criticisms are a bit unreasonable tonight. Carly sounded fine.
