Another American Idol Shocker: Carly Smithson Eliminated!

Tonight’s American Idol results may not have been as shocking as the night Michael Johns was shown the door. But there’s no way we imagined anyone not named Brooke White would be going home.

Instead - because viewers obviously felt sorry for White after she forgot the lyrics to “You Must Love Me” on Tuesday night - Carly Smithson was voted out.

We’ve been White supporters all season long, but this was undeserved. Smithson put on an inspired, lively rendition of “Jesus Christ Superstar” and, let’s face it, Brooke choked under the pressure. It was time for her to go.

Weigh in now: Did Smithson deserve to be eliminated?
