  • Carly Hennessy is a singer and songwriter and was a Top 9 finalist in the seventh season of American Idol.

    Because Hennessy had a hidden career and was not an undiscovered talent, when she auditioned for American Idol, she is being likened to Joanna Pacitti, a singer on American Idol Season 8, who debuted This Crazy Life album, by Geffen Records, in 2006.

  • Album Failure

    Carly Smithson, who qualified during the San Diego American Idol auditions, is in fact Carly Hennessy, a singer who sold fewer than 400 CDs for a major label. She was signed to a six-record deal with MCA, who spent more than a million dollars to promote her music.
