'American Idol' Exit Q&A: Carly Smithson
Seems luck wasn't on our Irish lass' side: After a truly rousing performance of ''Superstar'' Tuesday night, American Idol voters opted to send favorite Carly Smithson packing, weeks before her time (cue all our hearts breaking). No one could have anticipated the power vocalist's early exit, except, of course, the contestant herself. A surprisingly upbeat Carly called EW.com to talk about those darned stubborn judges, where she's headed next, and why her ouster wasn't a shocker.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You were fantastic on Tuesday. What happened?
CARLY SMITHSON: I have no idea. Who knows? It's American Idol, so I think I just have to kind of move on and have a good attitude about it. Everybody's going to leave at any time.
You seem to be taking it really well. You appeared to be in high spirits last night after being eliminated.
Obviously, I would have loved to go further. People are thinking this morning that I'm stoked to go home. That's not the case. I just feel like, what's the point in going out all upset and pissed off? There's no point. What happens happens. Everything happens for a reason. I truly believe when it's your time, it's your time, and I'm just excited now that I'm free to make a record. The show's only got a few weeks left. It's not like I went out top 100 or whatever. I made the top 6. That's huge! I'm really, really pleased and very satisfied with that. I definitely think that's a huge achievement, and it's more than I ever thought I would get. So I'm stoked. I was stoked top 8, 7, whatever.
