Her album cost more than Tusk
 

The queen of the ringers is the Irish tattooed diva who now goes by Carly Smithson. In 2001 she was Carly Hennessy and released a record, Ultimate High, for MCA. Don’t remember it? The bean counters at MCA do. The label burned $2 million on the album. It sold under 400 copies. What’s very interesting is reports have Randy Jackson working on the project since he was the head of A&R at MCA before getting the fat bucks from American Idol. Dog, that sounds pretty pitchy to me. Fuller wants us to think that she’s this simple Irish girl married to a tattoo faced guy. We’re supposed to feel bad that she lost her big chance in season 5 when she was denied a visa to be on the show. Carly has already had $2 million worth of a shot at stardom. Hasn’t she lived the dream of being a pop star? She even had the same songwriter as Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken on the album that cost more than Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk.

As someone who’s tried out, and not made it, im particularly pissed about this.:mad: Maybe I should try out to be on mtv's next "real world" season. Apparently, already being on a show is a pre-requisite!
