'Idol’s’ Most Notorious
Carly Smithson
Fair or not, Smithson became the subject of much resentment from some "Idol" fans after revelations that she'd had a major recording contract and, as alleged in a Wall Street Journal article, the record company spent more than $2 million to promote the album that sold just 400 copies. She finished sixth during the seventh season of "Idol." (FOX/Frank Micelotta)
