An interview with American Idol's Carly Smithson

Singer Carly Smithson gives audiences an inside view of life after the pop phenomenon of American Idol.

2010-09-29

MALVERNE, NY, September 29, 2010 (Press-News.org) We first saw Carly Smithson as the dark-haired, tattooed, powerful Irish singer on American Idol. Now over two years later, she's done singing pop cover songs and is back to her roots in rock with a new band. She gave TheCelebrityCafe.com a look into what it was like being a contestant on American Idol and how now her musical dreams are coming true with We are the Fallen

What you heard on American Idol is not the real Carly Smithson either. She said, "I think that the misunderstanding is that what you are on Idol is who you are going to be when you leave." The 27-year-old always wanted to sing rock songs, but rarely had the opportunity to do so, whether it was because of the week's theme, licensing issues, or too many people choosing the same song. She said, "I always ended up with something that was not exactly what I would've picked, but was good enough for where it showcased my singing ability and it got me through to the next round." Even her appearance changed. She couldn't wear her usual tattoo shop and band t-shirts. Instead, she looked more like a "girly girl." She said, "I got married in like jeans and a t-shirt so for me to be on Idol in all of these like sparkly things. I felt like a disco ball half the time."
