Here You Come Again
The problem with Carly when she's not doing rock is that she seems to feel she has to turn every ballad into a Celine song. But hey, Celine songs get votes on American Idol, and if her arrangement is too plodding compared to the original for my taste, the audience (and two of three judges) don't agree, going nuts for her big ending notes. She also seems more comfortable and less forced this week, and Idol voters reward progress. (Note to potential Idols: leave yourself room for improvement!)
