Carly Smithson
I Drove All Night
Choosing a Cyndi Lauper original and performing the Celine Dion cover version of it is just so Idol. It's also so Carly. In her desperation to blow everyone away with her superior talent and technique she forgets that character—maybe not Lauper levels of character, but at least, like, Belinda Carlisle levels—is what makes a singer matter to people. Carly will cruise to the final 12, but like season six's Melinda Doolittle, she may be just a little too edge-less and perfect for her own good.
