Judges comments on Carly Smithson 4/8/2008
Randy said "It started out good, in the middle it get a little pitchy when you get the high notes. It ended up okay. It was okay for me. It was disconnected"; Paula said "I didn’t feel engaged, but your voice sounded amazing"; Simon said "You looked good, but thought you oversang it and lost control of the song a bit towards the end. I think, again, you choose a wrong song".

Carly Smithson - The Show Must Go On Lyrics

Empty spaces what are we living for
Abandoned places I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore

Show must go on,
Show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly my friends

Show must go on
Show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
with the show
Show must go on
