I have been watching and listening to Carly every week, and now I can figure out why she didn’t sell any records when she was signed to a label. She does have a good voice, but in my opinion, she can only carry one tune and that’s not good enough to be an American Idol. Unfortunately, the one I thought that had the real shot next to David Cook was dismissed last week. But never fear, MJ will be as Clay and Daughtry, and I will buy his music like I did their’s.
