You need to find her album and buy it.. that will make 401 sold! She has not "graced the stage" she was planted on it to help pay back the 2 mil they wasted on her.

Well, the entertainment biz is all about who you know - sad, but true. I heard the leads on Broadway are cast solely on who the directors/producers know, and the ensamble are the only was auditioned most of the time.

So I guess it's not terribly shocking that AI would do that, even though it doesn't seem fair.

In the theater world, there is an ethical way and on the flip side a not so ethical way to pre cast. We don't know which way happened in her case.

Ethical - the director calls an actor and asks them to audtition, not promising anything. If they have a certain role for them in mind, at auditions they fairly judge them and see if anyone else would be a better match for the part. If not, they get the role. All is on the up and up.

Non-Ethical - the actor gets called prior to auditions and are promised the lead - no matter if someone is better for the part. (of course, you can ask someone if you put on the auditions announcements that that certain part is taken or if there is absolutely no one for the part after the auditions take place.)

We don't know if Carly genuinely came in and auditioned in season 5- even if she knew Randy - or if she was asked to.

That makes the differance.

Because he could have had her put on the show (planted) to help her resurrect her career. He was the senior A&;R at her label - the person who is in charge of finding and signing talent to the label. Major conflict of interest there. Randy can't be expected to judge fairly if he was the one who signed her and was the one who tried to get her career started. That's like having a parent judge their child's science fair project - not fair and the judge will be biased.

she only sleeps with over tattoed freaks anyway.. did YOU sleep with her Randomx6? Did she give you a brain rotting STD?

oh, PLEASE! NO entertainment value, If she is so wonderful, why did her first album tank?

But wait a minute... if you are a MIchael Johns junkie, then I should not trust you. And therefore your Rule #1 would be false. So logic only dictates:

Rule #2: Always trust a junkie.

UGH! I want to seriously vomit when I read this article! I'd rather have Kristy ANY day over Carly! Unfortunately my sister is a Carly fan as well as some of my neighbors. I've been telling them about her and Randy and everything else about her...failures, but they won't listen to reason. They still love her. :/
