Introduction

Carly Smithson is a top 12 finalist on the 7th season of American Idol.

Road to American Idol

Smithson released an album for MCA Records called Ultimate High in 2001 as Carly Hennessy, which failed to find an audience selling less than 400 copies.

She was signed to MCA Records during the same time period that Randy Jackson (an American Idol judge) was the senior vice president of A&R at MCA Records.

Before season seven, she auditioned in Las Vegas during the show's fifth season; she made it to Hollywood but was disqualified because her visa had expired.
