I was so surprised when I learned that Carly Smithson was one of the bottom three in the Top 11 Beatles Night at American Idol last night. She sang "Blackbird" soooo beautifully and I cannot believe that she was one of the Idols who got the lowest votes (America, there's still Chikizee & his harmonica! What are you thinking?).

Good thing she was not the one who was booted out. That honor was reserved for Amanda Overmyer...who's "back in the USSR" (finally!).

Here's the Beatles' Blackbird rendition of Carly. What do you think? What an injustice for her after this beautiful performance! She's such an amazing singer and you've gotta love that accent! Go, Carly!

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Of course I want Ramiele Malubay to win this season's American Idol but I think that this will be the order for the Top 10: David A., Brooke, Carly, Michael, David C., Ramiele, Jason, Chikizee, Syesha and Kristy.
