I have had this problem since Carly first performed.  This girl to me is considered a professional singer, she cut CD's in Ireland and was KNOWN over there as a singer.  American Idol I thought was just for Amateurs to become professionals.  Sure she can sing of course and I hope she gets voted off because I do not want to see her win over all this other talent better than her.  I just don't understand this at all unless she got in through a loophole in their contract, that is the only way I can see it.  I have nothing against her, it is that she is already a recording artist give someone else a break.
