Carly Smithson was eliminated from American Idol Wednesday, leaving five aspiring popsters in the mix to become the next big thing, relates E! Online magazine.
"I'm very proud of myself—I'm not upset that I'm going home," said the Irish-born songstress, who earlier in the competition was told more than once that she needed to lighten up.
To which Simon Cowell, always the antidiplomat, replied "Well, you should be."
It was almost "One Rock 'n' Roll Too Many" for the sprightly 21-year-old, who joined Smithson in one of the least-deserving bottom-twos in recent memory, even though 24 hours before she had hit the jaunty tune from Webber's Starlight Express out of the park.
Maybe the low quality of Jason Castro's performance caused a temporary stupor that prevented people from picking up the phone.
But while everyone was trying to forget Castro's rough, albeit doe-eyed, manhandling of "Memory" from Cats, one of the most  famous stage ballads of all time, no one could stop buzzing about Brooke White.
Webber had been especially psyched for White's performance, expounding on how connected she was to the music and how lovely her voice sounded.
"In the dress rehearsals, she was flawless," the composer told Idol host Ryan Seacrest.
In addition to a group performance of "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera, Cowell protégé Leona Lewis stopped by to perform her single "Bleeding Love" off of the erstwhile chart topper Spirit, which was dethroned this week by Mariah Carey's E=MC2.
Next week, the Top Five mix it up with mentor-for-a-day Neil Diamond. He and Natasha Bedingfield will perform on Wednesday's elimination show.
