carly smithson.jpgA lot of the contestants this year have been signed or have a conflict of interest with the show. Idol performer Carly Smithson (formely Carly Hennessy) has already been signed to MCA records and they spent millions trying to make her a star. The A&R guy at the time was no other than Randy Jackson. Hmm... Scandal! 

Kristy Lee Cook was signed by Arista Records. Joanna Borgella worked with Mo'Nique and Patti Labelle, and was on the Tyra Banks Show. Syesha Mercado made a FORD commercial not too long ago (FORD is one of the AI sponsors - another conflict of interest) Michael Johns was in a successful band. Jason Castro was on the show Cheyenne.

UPDATE: Idol Judges make a statement on tonight's show knocking the scandal: "It doesn't matter if they have been a back up singer or never sang before, they are all here for the same reason".

See the video of her single after the jump.

Scandal! They so want her to win. This sounds exactly like the first single of every other American Idol winner.

yeah Idol is a money machine. They need a star to make money after the show ends. Kelly is the only one they have made money on. When you go on Idol you sign contracts that they own you.
