Flashback: Carly Smithson's "Come Together"

Carly Smithson was a force to be reckoned with at the outset of Idol's seventh season. After breezing through the semifinals, Carly came out with a bang during Top 12 week on the first helping of Beatles night when she performed "Come Together." Watch the performance below:



Carly received praise from all three judges for this showing, which sent her into an excited state of disbelief, especially considering she expected Simon to once again declare her song choice "wrong." Carly's second song from The Beatles' catalog, "Blackbird," was not as big as a moment for her, but it still showed that she was a savvy contestant in terms of varying her performance styles.
