  • Carly Smithson Sings “The Show Must Go On”

    Carly Smithson was the sixth performer of the night. She chose the Queen song, “The Show Must Go On” which appeared on the album, Innuendo, released on February 4, 1991.

    Randy thought it started out good but the middle was a bit pitchy. He thought it was disconnected and didn’t quite hit the mark. Paula agreed a little bit with Randy. She didn’t feel engaged with Carly. Simon used a trademark Paula comment, “You looked good.” He felt it was an unusual choice of song and that she over sang it. He felt it seemed like a bit of an angry performance.
