I know I kinda exaggerate a lot, but this is no exaggeration. Carly's choice to sing Judas' song from Jesus Christ Superstar is by far the worst song choice anyone ever had.
What makes it even worse - is she was going to sing one of the best songs from Phantom.
I have video evidence! Compare the quality of these two songs.
Here's the song she wanted to sing from Phantom sung by Sarah Brightman and the Josh Groban, who was gracious enough to come down from his kingdom in the clouds to sing this song...
This would have been pretty easy to make an American Idol version.
Okay, now compare it to the song Carly picked...
Yes, that's Judas descending from above.
Do you actually think America for one, knows this song, and two would like this song... over the Phantom song?
Hmmm. One is from one of the most popular musicals of all time, was also recently made into a movie (starring 300's King Leonidas no less as the Phantom). Or a 1973 funk musical that everyone is trying their best to forget?
Justice has been served. Justice was like a hammer.
The Josh Groban awoke from his slumber and sang, "Something is amiss on the earth! Rainbows, report!" The rainbows informed the Josh Groban of the injustice transpiring. The Josh Groban then tore through the skies and thundered towards the Kodak theater. He burst in, raised his gavel made of lightning and love and pounded it down upon American Idol. And for a brief moment, all cries of injustice across the world ceased.
