Yay, Carly! I’ve missed hearing her sing. I loved her on the show (inconsistent performances notwithstanding) but really came to appreciate her later in retrospect. I still listen to a lot of her Idol stuff on my iPod.

Good for Carly, can’t wait to check out the songs.

Season 7 was the best ever.

Carly’s an awesome singer and this gig, lead singer in a rock band, is really her dream come true. I’m glad for her and the rest of the band too, congrats to We Are The Fallen (and, yeah, that is kind of a mouthful.)

COOL! That’s Colbie Caillat’s label. It’s independent, but Colbie is all over radio right now! This is good news for Carly indeed!

That’s good, I’m slightly excited for this album. I listened to the studio recordings from S7 again recently and I really loved Carly’s Here You Come Again. I wasn’t able to appreciate her during the season at all, I think I was jaded by all the plant stuff, heh. But anyway, their Bury Me Alive single is such an Evanescence rehash though, so if their album is gonna be a “Fallen” rehash then that would not interest me at all, hopefully they can come up with something a little more fresh. Show that Carly can bring something new to the table instead of being just a vocal replacement.

I’m excited to hear what they come up with. Carly has an amazing voice and I think this style will be perfect for her. Like many, S7 remains my fav!

Good for Carly, and dayum, you GO, season 7!

I always forget that Michael Johns exited before Kristy Lee Cook.

I had blocked that out. The pain, oh the pain of the Mavid deprivation… Anyway, Season 7 ftw,

Wow, #1, #2, #4 and #6 from Season 7 now have major label deals. And #5 and #7 have indie albums out.

#5′s was the only cd I bought (loved it). Let’s see if Carly or Jason can convince me to buy another Season 7 post AI cd when it’s there turn!

D’oh! Yup. I always forget that Michael Johns exited before Kristy Lee Cook.

It was a point that was difficult to digest for most people. No worries.

Well, Kristy Lee could have left for me anytime, but honestly I was neither surprised nor heartbroken at Johns’ exit. He kind of bored me after the first few weeks. He has potential though.

Chikeze is just freaking adorable. I wish him well. So, back to the topic at hand: Good job Carly! I hope this all works out for her.

Wow, #1, #2, #4 and #6 from Season 7 now have major label deals. And #5 and #7 have indie albums out.

#8 has an indie album, not #7 (which had a major label CD)

D’oh! Yup. I always forget that Michael Johns exited before Kristy Lee Cook.

So there you go, #1, #2, #4 and #6 have major label deals, #5 and #8 have indie albums out, and #7 had a major label CD (but got dropped already). Also, someone who didn’t make the Top 36 (Josiah) is signed with a major label too. And #3 has got herself a major Broadway gig.

Not bad, Season 7.

Season seven *may* turn out to be, pound for pound, the most successful season of Idol. I’d still like to see how Jason and Carly’s band do before I dub it better than season five.

Wow, #1, #2, #4 and #6 from Season 7 now have major label deals. And #5 and #7 have indie albums out.

I think I’m forgetting the sequence, but didn’t #7 have a major label album out, but no longer is with the label? And, #8 has an indie album out too right now. I think it goes Cook, Archie, (Syesha), Castro, Brooke, Carly, Kristy Lee, Michael Johns, right?

And “poor Syesha” has a major musical theatre gig, so I doubt she’s wallowing in self-pity right now. Rami and Chikezie may be, but then again, the latter did get to do soap opera karaoke that one time.

I’m so glad for Carly but this is the worst band name.

I know. I hate it too.

I thought Chikezie was also signed. No?
