This is weird: one of the chicks this season (Carly Smithson)
had a record deal with MCA, had her record put out and promoted to death by MCA... for $2M... and it totally TOTALLY tanked... selling 400 copies...
All while Mr. Randy Jackson was VP of A&R at MCA.
She's on AmIdol under a different name (Carly Hennessy) so maybe dogg forgot that she already had a chance to be an idol and failed miserably. :P
