Superstar

The best performance of the night so far, if only because Carly had the good sense not to take the song so dead seriously. I mean, It's Andrew freaking Lloyd Webber, people! She has the kind of plus-sized voice Webber was born to write for, but instead of going for a big ballad, she takes one of Webber's campiest hits and has fun with it.
