Carly Smithson Gets Mad When a Reporter Asks Her About Evanescence

Carly Smithson, the official Fail Whale of VFTW, is failing again. This time, she gets pissy with a reporter from the Tacoma News Tribune Newspaper who asks her about inevitable comparisons to Amy Lee since she now fronts a band with the members of Amy's old band, Evanescence. A simple enough and relevant enough question, but Carly becomes incredibly defensive and obnoxious, then lies (as always) and says she's never listened to Evanescence before. So then how come she performed their songs on the American Idol 7 summer tour? Busted. Again. Who seriously wants to work with this woman?

Is it me or is this woman's Irish accent entirely intermittent? I mean, on Idol I recall hearing it right in the beginning when she was "the Irish immigrant" and ignoring her previous industry experience.

Then throughout Idol, I rarely if ever remember her with a thick Irish accent.

Now in this radio interview... what... maybe to not sound like Amy? shock

I never disliked Carly like all the Worsters did, but I'm learning...

She doesn't have the thickest Irish accent, but you can here it at times. Some people are good at shifting their accents to sound more American.

But I don't get why she lied like that. Its stupid, because anyone who's seen her/followed her with Idol knows she covered "Bring Me To Life" and drew comparisons to Amy Lee from day one.

She's about as pleasant as Billy Bob Thornton.

While I'm not a fan, I don't think I'd go to the extreme that some people (including the VERY angry youtuber that made this) would go. It's natural for any performer to want to distance themselves from previous incarnations, and just be judged on their own (in this case limited) merits. However, she IS handling the comparisons very poorly. All she has to say is, yes, she knows she'll be compared to Amy Lee, but she's not going to let it affect how she approaches her music.

I love it when Carly lies: it tells me that there is Harmony in the Universe and all is right with the world. The Sun sets, the Sun rises again, Carly lies, the normal pattern of nature is restored.

Barf she totally ralphed on a song that ONLy Amy did, and can sing the best, ever.

When Amy sweetly sang Bring Me To Life, with SO much passion, and conviction, you saw Angel's man!

There would have been a very easy, graceful way to acknowledge the past without lying that she's never heard the music, without effectively saying that people are stupid if they think she sounds like Amy...I bet it would have enabled her to move on faster from the past also. But O'Plantson can't do graceful - she can only do shitty and vile.
