Why has no one else picked up on the fact that Carly Smithson previously worked with Randy Jackson?

Even though Yahoo and Reuters have finally picked up on the Carly Smithson debacle this week (the same story that we posted before Christmas and then again a week later... seriously, you guys should lurk here more often, you're way behind), no one else has picked up on the fact that Randy Jackson worked for MCA Records the same time Carly was there. Randy was the senior vice president of A&R. That's big stuff. Come on guys... we posted about that one back on January 28th. So who will be the first news outlet (besides us) to post about it? Go read up on it, but make sure to give us credit where credit is due. You're welcome. And as always, check back here early and often, as VFTW and the VFTW Forum are your premiere sources for the breaking Idol news that the producers don't want you to know.

True, but the producers will keep her around.

hi, check this video out, at about 5:20 she admits to haveing been signed and that "it didn't go very well".

So what do we do now? she admitted it, does this clear her?

Yes we need to refer to you as the source. I spent two days looking for the truth and I am so glad that I read the things I read. I didn't think I was that much in the DARK.

Not for me. I'd like to hear her admit that she was pre-cast because some A&R guy with conections still thinks she just needs more exposure for her career to take off.

this is true, but almost every contestant on the show had someone who thought that they just needed more exposure to make it big. It's just that fact that there might of been a connection to Randy that we are making a fuse. Truthfully I don't think she will make it to the end of the show, so in reality all the muse about her really is for not. I do think I might go down to her tatoo shop in SD :)

Your thoughts are logical. But I contend that TPTB will make up a rule as they go to fit their need at the time. If Josiah will bring ratings, bring him back.

She needs to admit it on the show.

Since people don't read websites and blogs. ;)

even if one of the 24 were axed I think Kyle would be more likely to be brought back than Josiah. Just based on Simon's reactions.
