Carly Smithson and Amanda Overmyer are roommates now that they’ve moved into the American Idol apartments.

Carly Smithson talks about moving to San Diego and how she love it — she’s originally from Ireland.  She’s a bartender and waitress — as well as a singer.  Carly promises to “change it up tonight” with her version of the Beatles’ “Come Together.”

I didn’t get it together with Carly Smithson’s version of the song, but I know the judges love her, so they’re going to give her some nice praise.

Randy:  “That felt amazing didn’t it.”  “You were strong and confident.  Not a note out of tune.  Stellar performance.”

Paula:  “I felt like I was already watching a star.  I couldn’t wait until you got into the Top 12 so you could really shine.”

Simon:  “Week after week, so far, you’ve chosen the wrong song.  Until now.”  Carly Smithson’s performance reminds Simon of Kelly Clarkson.

Just got back from my son’s science fair, so I can fire up the American Idol live blog. It seems like I didn’t miss much because there have only been two eliminations tonight so far and it’s almost 7:40 p.m. Indiana’s own, Luke Menard leaves tonight. Of the women, Kady Malloy is going home.

On a side note — two of my favorites — Filipina cutie Ramiele Malubay and fellow Hoosier Amanda Overmyer make it through for another night on American Idol.

Asia’h Epperson and Kristy Lee Cook are on deck. Asia’h Epperson — someone I thought would be going further on American Idol — is going home tonight.

On the final elimination of the night, “spicy” Danny Noriega gets the American Idol boot and gets to sing Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love.” The YouTube video probably didn’t help, unlike the news about David Hernandez’s past-time. Ramiele Malubay breaks down crying at the news Danny Noriega is going home.
