We've been debating what to do for Carly's birthday, thinking we had plenty of time, and I looked at the calendar and realized it's 2 weeks from tomorrow!
So...do you guys wanna send her something? If you guys want to donate, we'll send her a gift card (we have 3 ideas, everyone that donates can vote for the one they want to send and we'll send the one that wins).
Paypal (to carlysangels.net@gmail.com) is probably the easiest. Even if you want to stick a couple of bucks in an envelope and mail it, that's great! You'll just want to mail it soon to get it to us in time. Let's make the deadline next Friday (the 4th) so that we can get the gift to Carly in time.
Also, we were thinking of making her a little happy birthday video. I'm only going to do this if we get at least 10 to 15 people to send in messages. They don't have to be videos. You can make a little video (no sound cuz we'll we can set it to music, unless you want to sing her happy bday, we'll stick those at the end), or make a picture on the computer with a message or take a picture of yourself with a sign! Let's make this deadline Sept 6th (Sunday) so that we have time to put it together.
Sound good?
Can you guys help spread the word? Tell your friends, post in the other forums so that we let everyone that wants to participate know.
All submissions and questions can go to carlysangels.net@gmail.com

Anyone else? I have to make the video on Wednesday because I'll be leaving on Thursday for my friends wedding and gone to Sat. So, if anyone else is working on this, please send me your stuff tomorrow!
Also, as far as the gift portion, I've only heard from Amy. Anyone else interested?

Just curious Cheryl-are you going to post the video here or on MySpace once you finish putting it together? I'm sure everyone would love to see it.

Of course Amy. I was planning on You Tubing it and then Twittering it to her so everyone can see.
Cheryl - September 9, 2009 09:17 PM (GMT)
Hey guys, I'm still pretty low on contributions for the video - not enough for a full video. BUT I have an idea, I hope everyone approves. I know 2 very small Carly fans that would like to sing her a song...
While I'm working on that, last call. I'm making the video tonight so send me your videos and pictures by 8 EST. At this point, anything goes (within reason), so get out those cameras!!!

Everyone don't forget to tweet Carly for her birthday tomorrow. We were thinking it would be cool to try and make it a trending topic too. I guess we'd all have to post the same message, like #happybirthdaycarlysmithson or something similar to get it to trend. We can try anyways. :carly: :gift: :party: :cake:

I so do not understand Twitter at all..lol So we just send a reply to Carly's tweets to tell her happy birthday?
IGalaxy - September 11, 2009 09:19 PM (GMT)
It doesn't necessarily have to be in reply to her tweet.
Just send a tweet like this:
@calysmithson Happy Birthday! #happybirthdaycarlysmithson
The @carlysmithson will make sure it gets sent to Carly and the #happybirthdaycarlysmithson will be an identifier for all our birthday greetings. If we all use this then maybe we can make this a "trending topic" (basically a topic that a lotl of people are tweeting about).

| Friday, Sep 11th 2009 Happy Birthday, Carly Smithson! Season 7 finalist Carly Smithson originally auditioned for Season 5 of American Idol, but due to a delay in obtaining a work visa, she was disqualified. Carly was back for Season 7 auditions and made it all the way to sixth place. Known for her rock performances and edgy style, Carly had a string of strong performances on the show. Despite receiving praise for her rendition of "Superstar" from Jesus Christ Superstar during Andrew Lloyd Webber week, Carly didn't have the votes to continue on in the competition. After learning that Carly was eliminated, Simon Cowell said, "I apologize for giving you a compliment last night - kiss of death, but let me tell you, Carly, you can leave with your head held high," and Carly did just that. Throughout the summer of 2008, she toured across America and Canada with her fellow Top 10 finalists. Carly was active with American Idol during Season 8. First, she went to Hollywood Week auditions to help the hopefuls prepare for the grueling week ahead of them. On the first live results show of the season, Carly teamed up with fellow Season 7 finalist Michael Johns to perform "The Letter." On the night of the Season 8 finale, Carly went to her hometown of San Diego to host Adam Lambert's finale event. A few months ago, Carly announced that she is part of a new band called We Are The Fallen, made up of former Evanescence members. Carly sang Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life" while on the American Idols Live! 2008 tour, and We Are The Fallen guitarist Ben Moody saw a clip of her singing online and knew she'd be the perfect person to front the band. Carly and the rest of the band are currently working on writing and recording their music. Read more about We Are The Fallen, here. Happy Birthday, Carly! Watch a video of Carly with the band. |

Hey guys,
Thanks to everyone that participated. Carly loved the video and the gift certificate (we got her a gift certificate to Sephora!). She said you guys are amazing!
I couldn't agree more.
