The bar where "Irish American Idol" contestant Carly Smithson used to work doesn't want her back -- because they want her to win!
TMZ spoke to some of Smithson's former co-workers at popular San Diego Irish bar The Field and they say Carly, who started out as a server and got promoted to bartender, is easy-going and good-natured. We're told her specialty was serving Guinness beer with hearts and shamrock shapes in the foam. That's talent, folks! Co-workers said Carly even picked up cooking tips from the bar's chef and loved making bacon-wrapped filet mignon. Paging PETA!
Despite releasing a failed album on MCA Records in 2001, we're told Carly often would sing at the bar after her Saturday night shift. Sounds like good "Idol" practice, because singing in front of a room full of drunks probably isn't that different than performing for Paula!

WAY TO GO, CARLY!! YOU ROCK OUR WORLD!
:D
I would do her but I dont think she should be allowed to compete on AI because of her previous professional recording contract that bombed. She has nasty tattoos also and looks a little trampy.

did anyone notice paula last nite? giggling, couldnt say 2 words with "uh" between them...almost fell on the floor
Sounds like a nice person in a sea of dirtwarts! Good luck to her! I thought TMZ didn't do 'nice stories'?
I LOVE Carly. I'd like to see her and Michael in the final 2. Whatever happens with AI, she's great and has a very bright future! You go girl!!!
ANY IRISH BARTENDER CAN DO SHAMROCKS WHATS THE BIG DEAL...SEEING HOW MANY YOU CAN DRINK WITHOUT FALLING DOWN NOW THAT IS A FEAT LOL!!!!
I wish you would get off Paula's case..Iguess if someone's not "perfect" in the eyes of TMZ....Well then they seem to be fair game! Thats low...But remember what low lifes do....They are bottom feeders and crawl on their bellies in the dirt, like the serpent in the Garden of Eden...Check it out!
Not everyone from Ireland or people who drink in an Irish Bar are Drunks. We like to have a bit of Craic without being sterotyped. Is that ok??
This scag should be voted off...Previously released professional recordings...Has something to do with Randy Jackson's company...Come on voters...She may be good...But she had her shot...Give it to someone who hasn't...Go back to making shamrocks in the beer, shanty Irish tramp
GO CARLY! GO CARLY! GO CARLY!
SHE'S OUR HOMETOWN GIRL!!!
If you ever come to San Diego and want a REAL DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE go to THE FIELD!!!
But chances are Carly won't be there because she'll be too busy WINNING AI...HA!
