Megan Joy Corkrey Flaps Her Wings and Leaves “American Idol”

4/2/09, 8:32 am EST

Megan Corkrey — or Megan Joy, as she was later known — the tattooed singer with the brassy cabaret vocals, was banished from American Idol last night, and didn’t even get a chance to “sing for your life,” as Ryan Seacrest promised at the top of the episode. (Nice try, Seacrest, but RuPaul is far more dramatic shouting, “It’s time … to lipsynch for your life!” on RuPaul’s Drag Race.) When she was asked what she thought of Simon Cowell’s criticism of last night’s Bob Marley cover, Corkrey said she didn’t care, leaving the door open for Cowell to slam it, and her, in the end. “You don’t care, nor do we,” he barked, proclaiming her final performance her “swan song” — oddly appropriate for the girl who sang “Rockin’ Robin” and “caw caw”ed her way off the show.

The episode began with a dreaded group number, but in a stunning turn of events, the Idols’ version of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” did not suck. Matt Giraud sounded oddly like Steve Perry (and by extension, Arnel Pineda) and the track was amazingly suited to their voices. America could have done without the Idols doing impressions of each other to kill time, but it was still better than the live fan Q&A debacle from last season. And after David Cook performed and was presented with his platinum plaque (see, some Idols actually sell albums!), the hopefuls were separated into trios, and Corkrey, Allison Iraheta and Anoop Desai were dumped in the bottom three. The judges wanted to see Megan sing an Adele, Winehouse or Duffy song — we would have settled for Nelly Furtado’s “I’m Like a Bird.”

Lady Gaga arrived to sing an utterly heinous version of a truly awesome song (”Poker Face”), and Ryan noted the performance was “cool” in a moment reminiscent of the famous “neat” scene from Madonna’s Truth or Dare. When Gaga departed, Megan was set free and the Idol pool shrank to eight, leaving just two women in the competition: Iraheta and Lil Rounds.

Matt Giraud is the MAN!

the watcher | 4/2/2009, 9:25 am EST

Megan Corkrey was that element of bizarre that helped keep the show interesting. No particular Idol stands out as anything particularly eccentric. Good entertainment isn’t sustainable, it always ends up Disney-ing itself.

kk | 4/2/2009, 9:26 am EST

I thought Simon was crude and rude last night. He broke his own rules.So forget singing for your life!

js | 4/2/2009, 9:30 am EST

i think adam could take it all.he is an amazing singer.

me | 4/2/2009, 9:34 am EST

Americans do not appreciate egotism without merit. Megan’s ego out grew her ability. AND What was the deal with the cawing? Wo. yeah…time to go. She was booted off because she got too cocky. Pure and simple.

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 9:37 am EST

I thought Megan was acting so bizarre,like she could care less if she had to go. She was acting very immature on stage and I’m glad Simon said what he said.

Danny Fan | 4/2/2009, 9:39 am EST

My heart belongs to Danny, but I do NOT understand how Allison was in the bottom 3!! She is amazing! We can’t lose her yet!

P. Fonte | 4/2/2009, 9:40 am EST

I think Lil Rounds could take the prize if she sings some Anita Baker, preferably “No One in the World” off the Repature Album. It would definately show her range to her advantage. I hope she Really thinks about it & gives it a try.

tlnt sct | 4/2/2009, 9:41 am EST

Matt Giraud was so bad this week that he should have joined Megan in a double ejection!

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 9:44 am EST

Anoop Desai and Dave Gokey are my guys – they are great!!

J.C. | 4/2/2009, 9:44 am EST

America vote for Allison to listen to Simon’s stupid critique about clothes because he does not wear one that is actually fashionable.

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 9:47 am EST

Allison’s singing sucks and so does Lil

Insanity | 4/2/2009, 9:50 am EST

Megan was acting so weird last night. It’s like she couldn’t handle the pressure and snapped or something. First “cawing” and then wide-eyed, and even singing right in the judges faces on her last song. The only time she acted “normal” was when she cried to be going home to her son

chickc | 4/2/2009, 9:51 am EST

There comes a time when all good things must end. Megan had a good run for someone who cannot sing. Bye bye.

Megan&AnoopFAN!!! | 4/2/2009, 9:52 am EST

I thought Megan was an awesome singer!! i was so shocked that two of my favorite contestants were in the bottom 3! I hate Allison she should have gotten out not Megan!!

Bman | 4/2/2009, 9:52 am EST

Simon was being a blanant pr*ck to her…

eileen | 4/2/2009, 9:56 am EST

Megan sounded like she hasn’t been rehersing lately, he voice was shakey and crackling sometimes. It wasn’t the “flu” this time.

Adam is the man | 4/2/2009, 9:59 am EST

Adam has to win this. Even if he doesn’t I am sure he will be more successful than whoever does win. I think Allison and Danny are awesome as well, but Adam is the man!!!

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 9:59 am EST

Top 3 best idols in order Adam, Danny & Lil! All 3 are better at this stage than all past idols with exception of Kelly Clarkson.

JP | 4/2/2009, 10:16 am EST

Gokey better win this thing

Lambert is always hit or miss with me, and it always looks like he’s trying so hard to be weird and different, when for Gokey he just goes out, is naturally good and (above all else) has a very distictive sound. If I heard both on the radio, Danny is the only one I’d be able to differentiate immediately

James' GIrl | 4/2/2009, 10:24 am EST

Megan was trying so hard to be cute, but then came off just annoying and rude.These singers are contestants, but she was acting like she was a star.She was trying to squeeze out those fake tears,but that wasn’t happening.She deserved to go…lot of strong singers left. Hard to decide the best just yet.

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 10:29 am EST

I think they should of let Scott go instead of Megan the reason Scott is still there is because of his handicap and everyone feels sorry for him and that’s not right.

I Know The $Biz | 4/2/2009, 10:29 am EST

No question Adam is $$$ in the concert tour bank for the producers, on a long term contract basis. He’s the most commercial, basis R.O.I. and Free Cash Flow. If he is actually gay — as some in the media indicate — a definite full stop brake on his earnings potential, so best to deny same in the strongest terms, truthful or not . . . it’s ALL ABOUT THE $$$.

Megan can be developed otherwise, as an occassional vocalist, but also as a FOX sitcom pilot star, she certainly has the beauty, though MUST laser remove that tattoo! “Idol Makeup,” sold on HSN, is also a mega $possibility for her.

ath | 4/2/2009, 10:30 am EST

Megan needed to go a long time ago. I can’t believe she made it this far.

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 10:31 am EST

No one has a chance against Adam he is the next American Idol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 10:35 am EST

They need to get rid of Simon he really thinks he is something but all he is doing is being a sarcastic prick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

tuned in | 4/2/2009, 10:41 am EST

The talent level this year is certainly better than in past seasons and I understand how there can be differing opinions about who should win. But if you are really tuned in to the music industry, you would realize that the contestents with the best chance to have a real career are Adam, Kris, Lil and Allison, with Matt on the edge of inclusion in that group. All of these people have consistent vocal capability and with the right songs would sell well. Scott just has no “soul” in his vocals…the Billy Joel tune he performed this week sounded like an average wedding singer.

tuned in | 4/2/2009, 10:42 am EST

Oh…and someone should have sung the Journey track Tuesday night…there were a number of them who sounded very good in the group sing….pre-recorded or not.

Marie | 4/2/2009, 10:43 am EST

Megan is a beautiful girl, who can sing in one style only. She may eventualy get her own audience, only if she is willing to work very hard at it.
My favourite is Danny (natural i classy), Adam (talented but constantly acting, but good acting) and Allison.
Simon in old enaugh to know the concept of good manner and class in spite of everything else.

hurt | 4/2/2009, 10:44 am EST

I wish that Megan would have gone out with a little more class! She was not acting like herself at all and it was disapointing as a fan. Even if she knew she was going home, it was rude to her fans like me who supported her.

gregers | 4/2/2009, 10:48 am EST

love Megan, Over simon tho.

mm | 4/2/2009, 10:53 am EST

Megan Corkey was just plain awful. Her pitch was all over the place and she’s bizarre and arrogant. Props to Simon for telling her the truth; I’m overjoyed that she’s gone!!

Kristi | 4/2/2009, 10:53 am EST

This is the thing she was better that some of the ones that truly sucked and I think if she would have been given a little more time she would have been in longer. But as we all know this wont be the last time you hear from her she made it to at least be on tour. I do think however that they need to replace Simon her is a big jerk and he has no nothing nice to day EVER and you shouldn’t hurt peoples feelings all the time.

Michele | 4/2/2009, 10:55 am EST

Megan is gone, OH HAPPY DAY! She should have been gone a LONG time ago. She was goofy and started acting like a little diva, talking about “her fans” thought she was good. WHAT FANS Megan! Please. Glad she is gone. Adam, Danny, and Lil, ALL THE WAY! Get rid of the new judge, she is annoying. And get rid of the old judge (Paula), she is annoying.

wazzi[ | 4/2/2009, 10:58 am EST

The only reason was being cocky last night to megan is because she said she didnt care first. i wouldnt have said that. keep your mouth shut. glad she is gone. so dont pick on simon. if she didnt care, why should everyone else care about her. DUH.

wazzup | 4/2/2009, 11:01 am EST

why say bad things about simon ? its the real world out there. he is being nicer then most producers, etc. if you cant handle simon, then dont watch. love his straight out tactics. life is hard out there. you only get stronger with each negative thing.

Mia | 4/2/2009, 11:02 am EST

Word to Megan: Don’t cock off to the person who can make or break your music career. If Simon wasn’t such a dick, I wouldn’t bother watching this show. Because if he were like Paula, I would vomit all over myself.

I actually liked the impersonations: especially Allison’s. Danny’s sucked, but I’m sure Matt will put MyLanta in his milk or itchy powder in his underwear when he’s sleeping. This is what happens when American Idol turns into a sausage fest. Not my own words, but appropriate. It’s like one big frat house. I especially loved everyone sticking their tongue out at Danny when he went to the chairs of safety.

They should get along, they’ll be on tour all summer.

Melinda | 4/2/2009, 11:02 am EST

i think Simon gave Megan exactly what she deserved. Way to go Simon!

Ummmm! | 4/2/2009, 11:03 am EST

Simon should be ashamed of himself. I usually appreciate his honesty, but last night there was nothing constructive about his rude behavior.

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 11:03 am EST

Did Megan take a cue from her Marley song and light up before the show?

A-Mon | 4/2/2009, 11:05 am EST

Who the heck is Lady Whats Her Name and why did they torture us with that hideous song? I wanted Megan gone for about 3 weeks now, but I was willing to keep her if they’d just stop that Gaga beast.

Kate | 4/2/2009, 11:07 am EST

Megan – very unique vocals and personality – I liked both. There was no way she could win though. I’d rather see her go now than make it to the top 6 – go on concert – then fall into the black hole of silence.

How many people remember the first 3 or 4 voted off from 2 seasons ago? 3?

bv | 4/2/2009, 11:11 am EST

Megan is one of these people who have been getting by on good looks. A beautiful girl but this time it didn’t buy her in. She has a unique voice but no desire in being competative.
Adam, Danny, Kris and Alison will battle this out I believe and the rest should just go home.

Nadine | 4/2/2009, 11:13 am EST

Megan has potential, but she’s obviously struggling with some kind of drug addiction.

Audience | 4/2/2009, 11:21 am EST

Megan deserved to be gone. I dont feel she cared whether she stayed in the competition or not. The competition is about being an awesome singer, relevant, popular, wanting to win zealously and professionism. I dont think she possess any of these qualities and in particular not by her recent performance. All she possess is quirkiness but even with that it seemed more like childishness rather than individuality. She is very pretty though but the whole thing may be too big for her to appreciate and handle at her maturity.

rjs | 4/2/2009, 11:21 am EST

It was rude of Meagan to say she didn’t care. Many many many would love to stand in her shoes and her comment was insulting to the judges and her peers. She left the door wide open for
Simon’s comments and she deserved what she got. And to those of you that think they should get rid of
Simon…have you ever noticed at the beginning of each show the big “created by Simon Cowell” byline????

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 11:22 am EST

Good riddance to Megan! The only thing she has going for her is her looks. Listening to her sing is painful and listening to her stupid babbling explanations of her failures is even worse.

Dee | 4/2/2009, 11:22 am EST

I am so happy that Megan got voted off!! I think she sucked really bad over the last 2 weeks, and looks will not buy you a music career if you can’t sing, and have the wrong attitude. Her tattoo was most annoying for a pretty girl like that, and her voice and attitude really sucks. So, bye bye Megan, glad to see you go.

JT | 4/2/2009, 11:28 am EST

It may have been time for Megan to go, but I just think she’s too independent to be judged too much. While I didn’t always like her song choices, I love the sound of her voice, and there has never been a more beautiful contestant on American Idol. I will definitely miss her and I believe we will continue to see and hear from her in the future.

i'mallears. | 4/2/2009, 11:30 am EST

I’ll tell you who should be eliminated next week:

but after the break…

Seriously though, I think they all suck big dick, excepting Adam, Ryan and Simon.

Everyone can else please go home.

Max | 4/2/2009, 11:35 am EST

The gift of crayons and color book that Paula gave to Simon, after last night, proved to be too advanced for Simon. He needs a rattle and a teething ring that he can amuse himself on his way back to England. He is too rude and too crude to be on such a show as American Idol. Maybe the Simpson’s, but not American Idol.

Bleeding ears | 4/2/2009, 11:39 am EST

Megan was horrible!!. Her voice was flat, her moves were awkward, and her attitude sucked. In the beginning, I was rooting for her. All downhill from there! She ignored the judges comments, was cocky and rude! Simon gets it right 90% of the time. He’s just honest.

Desperado | 4/2/2009, 11:40 am EST

rjs, Simon Cowell didn’t create the show. It’s Simon Fuller (or Fueler or something)…but definitely not Cowell. But am sadden by Megan Joy’s departure. She’s the only reason why I watch this season’s Idol. She’s gorgeous!

Jim | 4/2/2009, 11:41 am EST

All the complaining about the judges is nonsense. They are usually right on. Sometimes Paula lets her emotions override her musical ear for talent. Randy is the best of all because he keeps it real without showboating that Paula and Simon seem to be doing. It does take away from the purpose of the show , I think, to focus on the idols . Without them there will be no show. Ryan Seacrest is a very good host.

DDD | 4/2/2009, 11:44 am EST

Good riddance to Megan! The only thing she has going for her is her looks. Listening to her sing is painful and listening to her stupid babbling explanations of her failures is even worse

HOW TRUE she sucked since day one

Denise | 4/2/2009, 11:45 am EST

I too noticed the odd behaviour, but am I the only one who noticed that it was not only Megan who cawed and “flapped her wings”, Allison also performed a much subtler version of this act, and there were caws from other contestants as well. They were also telling each other to “remember the caw”. In my opinion this was some sort of “insider” signal. As far as her weird behaviour opening her eyes wide, crossing them and other facial expressions that really took away from her good looks, I got the impression that she had prior knowledge of what was to happen and was making sure she would be remembered. I thought most of them were acting odd last night.

Louisiana Gal | 4/2/2009, 11:47 am EST

Matt Giraud is awesome! He’s my fav!

Leslie Kieltyka | 4/2/2009, 11:50 am EST

Yes I agree with the person who said Adam will win, he is in a league of his own, so what if hes gay, does Freddie Mercury ring a bell?

BixB | 4/2/2009, 11:56 am EST

I will miss Megan. She was one of the most distinctive performers ever on AI. I predict that if she makes some wise choices regarding management and coaching, Megan will become an indie star. The hopelessly bland Scott and Anoop are the ones who need to go next.

viewer | 4/2/2009, 11:57 am EST

I’m very very happy that Megan Joy went home, she could only sing one type of song and it was really annoying seeing other people like (Alexis Grace) go home over her… thats just dumb.. Also, is Megan taking drugs??? She was acting like a huge dumbass with zero class last night. And telling Simon you dont care?? Well Megan he didnt care about you either, and I’m soooooo glad you’re gone!! GOOOOOOOO MATT G!

Liz | 4/2/2009, 12:01 pm EST

I was shocked by Megan’s attitude. She was not a graceful loser. The way she cawed off the stage was just ignorant. Her voice sounded like a goat and her tatoo took away from her looks.

Arkansas Sammi | 4/2/2009, 12:07 pm EST

There is a judge who needs to be booted off as well as a contestant. Paula is terrible! She must either have an alcohol problem or a drug problem of some kind. She is hard to listen to because she can’t keep her train of thought together long enough to make a comment that makes sense. Simon may not have the best tact in the world but he’s usually right on with his opinions. Randy and Kara are awesome too.

le-le | 4/2/2009, 12:09 pm EST

BYE BYE Megan. Im sick of the duck dance.

wazzup | 4/2/2009, 12:10 pm EST

funny how people cheer and clap the loudest when simon gets introduced! Simon is keeping it real.. it is like that when you audition at other places. you have to be strong, believe in yourself, think of others, take critisisms, to make it in the world. low percentage turn out famous.. so people, look outside, real world, go simon go.. keeping it real.. if you cant handle simon, you wont make it afterwards. he is being nicer then others will be.

mary horkan | 4/2/2009, 12:12 pm EST

I think Megan was in over her head. Some maturity and voice lessons would help. It is about the overall performance and despite her unique voice, she just never pulled it all together. Simon was brutal with her and I think she was relieved to go home. In retrospect, she will regret not being more gracious but again, we all have to learn from our mistakes.I am sure it was hard going from Simon’s “You will be one I remember.” to “That was dreadful.” The show needs him but he really is overly mean at times. He did have some say in putting her thru to the top 36. And his snide comment at the end was silly. Megan, as a mom,should have known better but Simon is waaaay old enough to not engage in that kind of childish banter.

wazzup | 4/2/2009, 12:13 pm EST

just think.. the contestants know how they are judged by simon and the others. if they dont like it, they wouldnt be there. the pressure got to megan.. ego, top 9.. she will be on tour still.. so megan lovers, you will see her. i just couldnt remember her after she sang..

Debbie | 4/2/2009, 12:14 pm EST

Adam is the man to win!!!!!!!I am already downloading his songs!

jane | 4/2/2009, 12:14 pm EST

Loved Megan…will miss her ..don’t know why but she did act weird last night ..I think she knew she was going to be eliminated so to cover up her feelings she acted odd…..I don’t think Simon had to say that as everyone else has had a chance to sing one last time .
I think Aknoop and Scott shouls go now ..they have great personalities but not the singing needed.

Alvy | 4/2/2009, 12:21 pm EST

Thank you Megan for leaving and not singing again.

You are what you do, and last night and the night before, you were all attitude with little talent. Don’t raise your son that way.

mmm | 4/2/2009, 12:22 pm EST

go gokey amazinggggggg

MeMe | 4/2/2009, 12:22 pm EST

Did Megan not take her meds last night!? What the heck was up with her weird facial expressions and her stupid bird call. I’ve always hated her and I’m so glad she went home! Good riddance!!

lillatinalp | 4/2/2009, 12:23 pm EST

I agree with everyone who said that Megan deserved to go home. I can’t believe the mockery she made of music. When I first heard her in the auditions, I thought she sounded interesting but as soon as she made it on the show she sounded worse and worse. How presumptuous of her to even think she had fans, which she kept referring to every time she received poor remarks (which was at almost every performance). Simon had every right to reverse his own rule of singing for her life. If she didn’t care, she doesn’t deserve to be there. They don’t need her, she needs them. She may be gorgeous, but she sucks!

mmm | 4/2/2009, 12:24 pm EST

GO GOKEY AND AS FAR AS SIMON HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY GO SIMON GET RID OF THE MICK JAER WANT TO BE GET REAL

Nebraska fan | 4/2/2009, 12:25 pm EST

Lil Rounds looked like a zombie last night and consistently flubs song choice and delivery. Thumbs down.

Gokey smiles like a cheshire cat and it is annoying to say the least . He can sing but it is beginning to sound all the same to me.

Matt tries but it ain’t enough. Too gummy.

Allison is pretty darn good and I hope stays around. Seems like she can handle any crap thrown at her from Simon. The hair color needs to be worked on though.

Anoop is OK but that’s about it.

Kris needs to shave that crap off his face because it is way lame. He’s got game but it’s hard for me to watch the faces he always is making while sings.

Scott is a nice guy but that’s about it. His singing just sucks. Needs to go.

Adam should win it all. He is a bit FTD florist but he sure isn’t afraid to let that voice rip. Kind of a Kurt Russel/ Elvis vibe.

Megan. She was one of my favorites at the season start but quickly grew into a nut job. She had no idea how weird her body movements looked during her crazy lame performances. And flapping her wings was pretty childish. It’s no wonder Simon unloaded on her. I’d not be surprised if she is booted from the tour.

Dave | 4/2/2009, 12:25 pm EST

Kris is the clear cut winner this year in my opinion. he’s like david cook in that he makes songs his own, but he has something over cook, he can actually sing! People who vote for that freakshow adam lambert worry me. all this androgeny in the world is sickening and should not be supported, the sooner that freak is off the show and doing cher impersonations the better!

Mari | 4/2/2009, 12:25 pm EST

I read that the one who heckled at Kara *broken record” is the brother of Megan and that really incensed Kara who approached him during the break. So Megan has an agenda in reacting that way. Either she doesn’t have ambition for a singing career why all the provocations and in the face singing to the judges of her swan song. Or she already has some other offer in the bag why the arrogant attitude.

rjs | 4/2/2009, 12:30 pm EST

desperado…Opps you are right! anyway, the drama, emotions, opinions and not just the talent keep us watching and entertained. This year is esp. entertaining and anyone who makes it to the top ten should have a great chance at a career.

Simon's huge fan | 4/2/2009, 12:33 pm EST

I do not think Simon was rude and crude last night, Megan brought it on herself. She had no respect for anyone but herself, and she lost what little respect she had with her rude comment and arrogent disposition, So I say farewell and good luck because she is going to need it if she truly believes she can sing.

wazzup | 4/2/2009, 12:34 pm EST

who cares if someone heckled. The judges kept repeating like a broken record to megan cause she just didnt get what they were telling her to do to change. she didnt listen… if she listened she might have done better.

KingCreole | 4/2/2009, 12:35 pm EST

Megan deserved to get booted…anyone thinking Allison should had been tossed over her is on crack. Allison is an AWESOME singer…miles and miles above Megan in talent and style.

G-Beck | 4/2/2009, 12:36 pm EST

I completely agree with Dave. I hope America becomes as tired as I am of the overly dramatic Adam. What happened to real men?

Kimberly | 4/2/2009, 12:38 pm EST

Megan did act very strange which was on called for but I think she was TRYING to get kicked off the show, so she could go her to her 2 year old son who she missed dearly. I can understand that part since i would miss my little one.

Kevin the Robot | 4/2/2009, 12:44 pm EST

dude megan isnt that great of a singer, no telent, not even interesting voice >.

Brandi | 4/2/2009, 12:55 pm EST

No kk, I thought MEGAN was crude and rude last night. She broke her own rules. So forget singing for her life! And acting totally off the wall.

rjs | 4/2/2009, 12:56 pm EST

Meagan owes it to her son to set an example and be the “best” she can be….hope in about 15 years she isn’t telling him “I gave up my career for you”…….

zelda58 | 4/2/2009, 12:57 pm EST

Megan totally sucked this week and deserved to go home, but why is the blind guy still there? Must be the blindness, because it certainly ain’t his charisma or singing that’s keeping him there.

Randy | 4/2/2009, 1:01 pm EST

No reason to keep watching Idol this season. The beauty is gone. Enjoyed her while she lasted.

Jazzman | 4/2/2009, 1:10 pm EST

Yes, Idol has lost all of its appeal with Megan gone. She wasn’t cocky last night; she was mocking the mean-spirited critics of her singing. And Simon, it’s not all about you.

the grrl | 4/2/2009, 1:10 pm EST

Megan has been acting arrogant and annoying for a while now. I liked her at first, but she was never able to take it to the next level. I think she knew she was in over her head and was acting like a wierdo to try and pretend it didn’t bother her. Sorry but her son was the last thing mentioned in her exit interview – I don’t believe she was trying to go home. She is trying to make us believe that, but at the same time is “used to her life in LA now” – give me a big fat break. If she could have stayed on the show – she would have. She can’t cut it and after her lame tour with the other “idols” she will be forgotten. I will forget her exactly 2 minutes after writing this comment. Bye Megan! you blew your chance and acted like an ungrateful jerk in the process. Nice role-modeling for your son.

Liz | 4/2/2009, 1:12 pm EST

I don’t like Kara. Her corny comments remind me of David Hassehoff on America’s got talent. She is so corny.

I hope anoop goes next.

The “blind guy” has a name it’s Scott.

Strobe | 4/2/2009, 1:36 pm EST

I could tell that Simon couldn’t wait for Megan to stop “singing” if that’s what you call it. (I felt your pain Simon). He didn’t want her sing anymore at all. Neither did I. I turned the volume down. Megan should have left last week & Micheal stayed.
Scott is very inspiring has strong faith. Matt & Kris both are equally awesome. Danny is a powerful singer. Anoop is give & take. Adam is different & interesting. What will he have for us next?
Megan was just eiree.

Oh please, It was time for the increasingly grating Megan Joy to go home three weeks ago. One of the things about the format of American Idol is that you get to know these performers more & more each week. What seemed unique in week one or two becomes uniquely annoying as the performer is revealed to be a one note wonder and upon closer inspection, it wasn’t even that good a one note. Kevin Covais was in that camp. Ace Young. And Megan Joy is the Poster Child for the contestant you most quickly go from loving to hating.

The Dude | 4/2/2009, 1:43 pm EST

dude megan isnt that great of a singer, no telent, not even interesting voice >.

person | 4/2/2009, 1:48 pm EST

i do not understand the fascination with gokey. he bores me to tears. whether or not you like adam, you have to admit that he is a big part of the reason you are watching this season.

honestly, i watch the show to see what adam, megan, and allison will do next. they are the most different and exciting. if adam wasn’t there, this season would be snooze central (like it is when gokey is singing).

i will miss megan being on the show. i always enjoyed watching her.

Dale | 4/2/2009, 1:53 pm EST

Megan should never have even made it out of the Hollywood auditions. Her singing was awful. Also, what was with that weird twist/handshake dancing?

This show has definately jumped the shark with the 4 judges. It is hard to sit through all the judging with Paula being the absolute worst with every couple words ending in a period. All they need are Randy and Simon.

The show has wayyyy less talent this year than any year I can remember!

Clarkdaddy | 4/2/2009, 1:57 pm EST

I thought Meagan was telling them “don’t forget to CALL…” not Caw. As in she wanted them to call her after the show. I could be wrong.

I don’t have much to add. From the very first shot of the 9 of them together when Ryan was talking about one of them going home, Megan started making faces and waving to the camera as to say, “it’s me.” I would say she knew she sucked it up the night before.

I was disappointed at the maturity and class she showed throughout the show. Almost like she was trying to sabotage it or something. I will miss her looks… but like Anoop, she was just fat that needed to be trimmed off from the rest of the talent on the show.

simon CAWel | 4/2/2009, 2:07 pm EST

I just had to take a second look to be sure I was on the RollingStone site – all the pro-DannyG comments threw me. The guy is so boring that everybody around him keeps dying (of boredom). RS readers should be ashamed {CAW-CAW)

Old Timer | 4/2/2009, 2:14 pm EST

Been watching A.I. since it began.I would like to hear one of the group sing a song of the fourties that had sensible lyric”s.,example.
“As Time Goes by”
“All The Things You Are”
“That Old Feeling”
“Saturday Nite Is The Loneliest ”

These songs had feelings.

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 2:19 pm EST

Danny Gokey is a smug little douchebag. I cannot stand him.

And I liked his voice the first time around, when it was called ‘John Popper of Blues Traveler’. Same friggin’ voice.

Diane Redwine | 4/2/2009, 3:19 pm EST

I think Megan acted like she was stoned last night, I felt embarrassed for her…she made a fool of herself! I, personally do not like Adam, either! Chris is my favorite!!!

AI Fan | 4/2/2009, 3:33 pm EST

I think Adam has it all. His style, voice and range of singing is unbeatable. Anoop, Danny and Chris and Matt are also good singers but Adam steals the show.

AI Fan | 4/2/2009, 3:36 pm EST

I have to add that Allison is a very good singer with a great range and exceptional singing ability. Lil Rounds is good too by Allison is better.

gave up on Megan | 4/2/2009, 4:03 pm EST

Now she is going back home…to live on welfare and food stamps. Put on more ugly tattoos…raise her little bastard…go back to your trailer trash existence… you had a chance for more and threw it all away…your brother was an asshole for fighting with the judges…you are a ass for letting all your fans down. ” I Don’t Care ” well Megan we no longer care about you either.

Anonymous | 4/2/2009, 4:05 pm EST

During audition and earlier AI stage, Simon was the biggest cheerleader for Megan. Megan not only does not have the talent, she also does not know how to appreciate. Alexis is a lot better singer, and it makes sense for Simon and AI to bring in Alexis and replace Megan.

Allison if a FREAK | 4/2/2009, 4:05 pm EST

she is butt ugly…her red birds nest wig her ugly clothe, her mannish voice…put a bag over her entire body…she should have been kicked out long ago

Gary | 4/2/2009, 4:07 pm EST

Megan sucked so bad. I am so happy that she is gone. I think she honestly has a drug problem and should get some help. I loved her at first but ended up hating her in the end. I would never buy her record just because of her obvious ego and childish behavior. What a looser.

Alexis is gone for good | 4/2/2009, 4:09 pm EST

Alexis is a lot better singer, and it makes sense for Simon and AI to bring in Alexis and replace Megan.

what the hell are talking about? Alexis is never coming back..you don’t understand the rules do you?

saving an idol pertains to the current set…now down to 8

Bill | 4/2/2009, 4:14 pm EST

Wasn’t crazy about the ink but otherwise she was probably the hottest babe they ever had on.

BikeTheFuture | 4/2/2009, 4:42 pm EST

A few (12-14)years from now Megan’s child is going to watch the recording.(if he lives that long) What will he think? How embarrassing to have a mother like that. She passes to be a member of the Osborne’s.

blackface | 4/2/2009, 4:45 pm EST

Hey! Adam Lambert is a star!!!! and he will make it big i can bet you on that!!! Also Megan is a very good singer!!! I will miss her! She has a very different sound which makes it fun!! I will be checking on her, because I think she has something, not like every one else! I like that raspiness voice and corky moves, it makes her Megan Joy! Hello! I thought that’s what it is all about, is finding someone new and fresh! Although, Adam has it going on!!! I think he is the best on the show! He is so talented! I already have all his songs downloaded on my ipod. He is GREAT!!!!!

T | 4/2/2009, 4:54 pm EST

I think a lot of people will be checking on her……in Bellevue.

Chuck | 4/2/2009, 4:58 pm EST

Megan is so unique. I’m hooked on Turn Your Lights Down Low. I bet we’ll be hearing more of her in the future. She sure can put a new twist on old songs!

Love her.

Jon King | 4/2/2009, 5:00 pm EST

She is a wanna be. Wants to be interesting and cool and hip and hot and funny and a good singer….yet she is just another typical American dime a dozen waitress.

Itdgi | 4/2/2009, 5:49 pm EST

It doesn’t matter what any of us think or how we vote. It doesn’t matter how the contestants perform. If you can’t tell that the judges and Tptb have already decided Adam and Danny will be in the finale, you’ve been asleep or in a coma. The show and it’s manipulation suck this year. It’s no wonder their ratings are falling.

Denny | 4/2/2009, 5:56 pm EST

hottest babe they ever had on??? I do not see that at all.. Her ink was awful she could not sing.. I think she could make it as some sort of singing comedian? but as for american idol no..

Angie Heather | 4/2/2009, 5:59 pm EST

Constantine Maroulis was robbed!! He is the only person from American Idol that was worth anything!
I LOVE ME SOME CONSTANTINE!

JJ | 4/2/2009, 6:13 pm EST

Only reason why I wanted the show was because of Megan- I think this whole “acting goofy and disrespectful” thing is so far blown out of proportion. She probably knew she was leaving, and had fun! So what let her go out that way then! I don’t think however it was wise to tell Simon she “didn’t care” though. After all, she was actually one of the 3 brought back earlier on to the final 13… Simon clearly liked her from the beginning, but the singing talent around her was simply better, and thats all, Peroid! She’s absolutely STUNNING which would explain all the “haters” out there!! lol! Because of her trying to be funny and have fun she’s a loser now??? C’mon people! I love it that now all of a sudden all you wanna be psycologists come out to explain her “behavior”! Everyone else now is just plain
B O R I N G and there’s no reason to watch as far as I’m concerned…
We miss Megan!!

iara de toledo | 4/2/2009, 7:10 pm EST

Im from Rio de janeiro,and I think the best singer is ADAM ….he is a star from the begining !!!!he is my idol,period!!!

yaya | 4/2/2009, 7:13 pm EST

From Rio de Janeiro…Adam is the best!!!!!go for it baby!!!love you………

Kaylene | 4/2/2009, 7:18 pm EST

Yikes, how can you call that ink “hot”? And, how can you call Megan Joy talent? Pleaseeeeee. So glad to see the the blonde that was either DUMB or on drugs last night – go home. Yooooo Simon! Good job.

Greg | 4/2/2009, 8:01 pm EST

Notice how Kaylene mentions that she is Blonde? Row (cat sound)!

You girls always hate the younger and/more attractive girls. She is hot except the gross tattoo.

Kurt | 4/2/2009, 8:12 pm EST

Talk about clothes, eccentricity, goofiness, lack of talent, being too theatrical, not theatrical enough, too “Disney”, immature, cocky, and all that stuff, what it comes down to is simply what you like best. Not who is necessarily better or worse. Art and talent is subjective – it really can’t be graded on a level scale.

And how anyone can say they “hate” a contestant who they don’t even know just blows my mind. It’s a very strong word. I think it’s thrown around a bit loosely these days.

TeaTea | 4/2/2009, 8:28 pm EST

Simon was not listening when Ryan asked Megan what she thought about what Simon said the night before. Simon turned to Paula and said, “What did she say?” Paula did not repeat Ryan’s question. She just told Simon that Megan said she didn’t care. Simon just assumed that Megan meant she didn’t care about being at the bottom that night. Hence, Simon said the judges didn’t care either. I didn’t like Megan’s response, although she meant that she personally liked her performance, despite what Simon said. I do feel that the contestants are a little too mouthy to the judges this year. It was cute when Chicken Little stood up to Simon in Season 5, but it’s getting rude and disrespectful. The contestants need to remember that those judges possibly hold their future in their hands.

Jill | 4/2/2009, 8:59 pm EST

I believe Megan Joy has the power to make you feel overwhelmed with goose bumps or to make you literally jaw clenching mad. Since I am from Utah, of course I had high hopes for her. She is definitely unique. However, last night she was a little over the top. I actually felt embarrassed that she represented my state. American Idol has opened up avenues for her that she alone could have never done in a million years. I wanted to see gratitude pouring from her for the opportunity given her. I wanted to her to inhale the judge’s comments as constructive criticism. Simon is harsh, but so is the business. She could have showed him the respect he has earned in the industry. I felt she was too flippant and cavalier about the whole thing. Being true to herself and honest is one thing, but if arrogance is a display of honesty, well there are a million other talented performers I would rather support. Megan Joy, you owe American Idol an apology!

Chuck | 4/2/2009, 9:41 pm EST

Get over yourselves. Megan is unique. Whether you think she should have been dumped long ago, who will be remembered? Think of others with unusual voices/styles: Phoebe Snow comes to mind. Think about it.

Too good for the deadly middle | 4/3/2009, 12:01 am EST

Originality has to be squeaky clean on American Idol. Megan was a breath of fresh air next to the clones that the mainstream seems to go for.

easybeats | 4/3/2009, 12:04 am EST

megan could sing, but only in a very limited genre. she jus kept pickin the wrong songs. plus, shes hot

Ron J | 4/3/2009, 12:27 am EST

I agree totally!!

The only thing I would pay for would be to see her face buried in a pillow

rocco | 4/3/2009, 1:08 am EST

My God, she was AWFUL! good riddance.

Melissa | 4/3/2009, 6:29 am EST

I’m sorry… but does anyone else get the fact that she’s a mother who misses her son?? Honestly I think the separation was getting too much for her and she wanted to leave the competition… I’m sure other opportunities will come her way just for the memorable way she left the competition… I don’t care what some of you people are saying about her because you do like the boring boy band bs that always seems to enter the scene… as for lady gaga’s performance… creepy… anyway… Megan did what she felt she had to do no matter the reason behind it.. I don’t think it was cocky at all… beyond that if anything… and for the record.. maybe she doesn’t like Adel or anything of the sort… if she doesn’t want to sing it she doesn’t have to… as for American Idol… everyone knows in the back of their minds that Scott is going to win… they should have just given him the title before they even put us through this dreadful season 8 crap… I’m so sick of pity parties entering competitions and getting nothing but praises… the judges save is for him by the way… no one else… they want him to win… they’re trying to play him as the underdog in a rigged competition.

The Truth | 4/3/2009, 8:19 am EST

While American Idol seldom holds any real talent amongst its ranks, Adam has a very good chance of doing well for himself. Of all the contestants he is by far the best suited for a pop music career: good looking, charismatic, strong kinesthetic awareness and stage presence, very large range (although a bit overindulgent at times; this novice mistake will be worked out quickly), and craftily good-natured. I believe the last is truly his most important attribute; his interaction with the judges, smooth injections of humbled thanks to fans in the audience and at home, and grace with which he carries himself in conversation will make him a viable and alluring artist to major record labels. They vie for those artists whom will adeptly handle PR, fans, and critics with down-to-earth resolve and good humor (Tom Hanks is the best example of an A-list celebrity who has made a reputation from his outlandishly charming, friendly demeanor, beyond even his considerable acting prowess).

I consent that Danny is a tremendous singer. His voice is extremely strong, and while second in range to Adam’s roof-shattering highs, has that terrific Rod Stewart gravel–enviable indeed! He also seems genuinely kind and fun to be around, with a great sense of humor; he would certainly be vetted with similar enthusiasm by major labels. Unfortunately, he simply cannot compete with Adam’s unique stage presence and modern image, and will ultimately fall short of the self-possessed showmanship Adam enacts with ease.

The rest? Talented karaoke singers, little more. Lil Rounds has a gigantic ass–and yes, I realize that’s very ad hominum. All right, then; her appeal is very commonplace, typical black R&B singer, and her voice is unexceptional. Nothing more needs to be said of her.

Scott seems a talenet novice pianist, but his voice is, again, just O.K. He certainly is not charismatic, and while I empathize with his ophthalmological condition, neither his blank countenance nor his unkempt hair, ratty teeth and very average looks bolster his appeal.

I’ve grown tired of examining the rest of the unexceptionals. All my opinion, take from it what you want and leave the rest.

You gotta want it | 4/3/2009, 10:36 am EST

Megan admitted that her family and friends “made” her audition for AI. In addition to talent (whether or not she had any) You gotta want it! Which means that you must be willing to make the sacrifices necessary and put in the hard work to succeed. Megan can go back to her lazy life and blame the world for what could have been…what a loser.

wazzup | 4/3/2009, 1:05 pm EST

Doesnt matter if scott is there cause of his blindness. everyone has things wrong with them.. stop dissing on the singers.. they sing and THE FANS VOTE

wazzup | 4/3/2009, 1:07 pm EST

stevie wonder, ray charles were blind and singing. leave scott alone. i dont see you guys getting up and auditioning and singing to millions.. lets here you guys sing.. we can critisize you guys. who are you to judge others anyways.. i give them all applause for making it this far. they know what needs to get done.. how many years has idol been on??? they know what is in store for them.. DUH

wazzup | 4/3/2009, 1:09 pm EST

Nobody MADE megan do this.. Nobody can make anyone do something they dont want to do. Lame excuse on Her part for saying that. Doesnt matter if you win IDOL. people who got booted made it more then the winners.. good luck to all.

Chris | 4/3/2009, 2:02 pm EST

Hey, Megan was a WAY cool gal! I hung out with her a bit in the Salt Lake auditions (I was the dude with the pink rabbit) and she is so incredibly down to earth. She might not have been the greatest up there, but she knew that. Every single contestant flips out the usual “Well, I’m just here to have fun!” when they get critisized so people will start cheering and whatever, but Megan was probably the only one who was sincere when she would say that. Plus, she’s the only one that doesn’t pimp the calling/texting number at the end with her gestures. Damn that’s annoying.

Aqua 56 | 4/3/2009, 2:15 pm EST

Megan may not be as stupid as most of you who say you hated her. When you know you can’t win cut and run. People who thank Adam is going to win are living in the wrong time period. It seems to follow that if Simon likes someone America turns on them. Sad that a person with talent sets their hopes in the hands of so many as- holes. Megan would do better with a partner. Allison will win even if she is cast to the side of the road.Like Leona,Kelly,and maybe one other the rest who have won couldn’t win a local talent contest. I’ve heard local people that could be stars yet like to live a normal life. As for Simon he is spot on when he see’s it and Megan did the right thing cutting out she can tag up with Simon in a year and become a ok performer like the thousands we see and hear everyday. Live to see the next Elvis or Ricky Nelson.

GB | 4/3/2009, 3:00 pm EST

OK, Megan was yea and BOOOO! Beautiful girl with an awful tatoo. Interesting voice and a horrible dancer. (Paula told her she needed to sit on a stool!) But in the end, no class at all! Her brother heckeling and her face making, cawing, and disrespect show her for what in these parts is known as PWT…poor white trash!

Suz | 4/3/2009, 3:55 pm EST

I am so glad Megan is gone. She was absolutely horrible. I never liked her and when she sang it was like nails on a chalkboard. It wasn’t current or relevant, it was downright weird. She was very pretty, but that was all. She should have left way before Michael or Alexis.

As for Adam, I really don’t understand why so many people like him…I guess I just don’t get it…He has amazing vocals, but he is weird and I have no intention of ever buying one of his albums. He also seems very arrogant to me. I think if he does make a record, he will soon be forgotten.

Lil Rounds, Matt, and Scott…just average singers, but no star quality.

Anoop actually has a really nice voice and I think he has a great personality, but will probably not be enough to keep pushing him through.

Kris Allen has become a very pleasant surprise, but my two favorites are Danny and Allison. I think they both deserve to be in the top three.

However, I applaud all of them for getting as far as they did, even if I didn’t like them.

Also, I have to say last year’s talent pool absolutely blows this year’s out of the water. The top 10 last year were all amazing and brought something different that I have only seen in 3 or 4 people this year. I went to see the Idols tour last year. It was the first time I went and the last ,as I know I will have no desire to go to another one.

I hope they go back to the old format next year because I really didn’t like the wild card, because I honestly think Megan would not have made it in had it not been for the judges choosing to put her into the top 13.

Remember, this is just an opinion.

wazzup | 4/3/2009, 4:12 pm EST

Some people cant have the voice to make it to win. only 1 winner.. no one knows who will win.. all depends on VOTES. vote on singing not a popularity vote. they are all going on tour so dont fret. even the people who got booted in the past seasons do better then the actual winners.. good luck to all of them.. there are alot of single mothers who have a singing career.. doesnt matter.. quit picking on megan and everyone else. i dont see you guys up there trying. they all know what they got into when they joined american idol. sheesh.. grow up people

Rae | 4/3/2009, 5:24 pm EST

I have a comment for those leaving the comments. It really shows your character to pick on a person that you don’t even know. You don’t know Megan Joy any more than I do we only know what American Idol wants us to know. If your such experts on trailer trash you should ask youselve how you know, is it because you are trailer trash? And the comments that she was only good for porn she has most likely done more with her life than you have. Just because your only chance at being on tv is to most likely be in porn and for most of you it would be nightmare porn at that, you have a lot of gall. AI is TV. we only know what they tell us. They rarely set out to flatter anyone just make everyone trying do something with themselves look like idiots. But I must say that those who are nothing but wanna be are the real losers cause they sit at home leaving terrible and cruel messages from the safety of their computers. TAKE A RISK YOURSELF. Then leave the comments.

GB | 4/3/2009, 6:01 pm EST

Duu…It’s Live TV…she acted a fool.

nathan | 4/4/2009, 8:12 am EST

Those bird sounds were annoying but man did she piss me off when she said to Cowell “I don’t really care what you think”. What’s u with that?! You are not a star yet (and with this attitude you never will be). She murders a good song and she is offended by a criticism from a guy who is supposed to give her a record deal?! Unprofessional, immature and just plain dumb.

Nick's Mom | 4/4/2009, 11:01 pm EST

Personally, I think there is a lot of talent this year, especially the men. Allyson is a doll, great voice and personality. Lil is gorgeous with a fantastic voice. I liked Megan in the beginning, but her talent just faded away so quickly. Last night, she was so phony, from the beginning saying how all the fans called her, Megan, Megan, Megan and the “surprised look” that she was in the bottom 3, to the final fiasco of hopping and cawing and the embarrassing wiggly song before the judges. It was painful to watch. She is beautiful, but many, many Idol contestants have been. The tattoo was too big and will spoil any outfit she wears. ‘Nuff said.

ftb | 4/5/2009, 12:11 pm EST

It’s easy for everyone to slam Megan, but I’m glad she’s gone. With the exception of Carrie Underwood, all of the other Idol “winners” are nothing more than shlock. She doesn’t need Idol and it’s a shame she did the show. The judges are phony has beens and never should of beens. I mean get real, Paula is the biggest fluke in the world, and Kara is a waste of viewer time. Simon is a typical Brit who started out playing a dog on a British kiddie show and got lucky to move up, and Randy has thrown out all his credibility by being so routine on this show. Idol has seen it’s better days, they should just call this show “Who wants to be the next American Lounge Lizard?

edogs60@gmail.com | 4/5/2009, 11:06 pm EST

If you like Ami Winehouse and Adele you have to like Megan. She definitely made lots of mistakes with song choices. I did not like the ink but it has not stopped Ami Winehouse career. I predict she will be picked up and will be successful but will need good advice on the direction she should take.

Anonymous | 4/6/2009, 12:24 am EST

Jason | 4/7/2009, 10:57 pm EST

DON’T WANT TO WASTE A MINUTE OF MY TIME WITH THIS IDIOT, BUT I THINK SHE SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED FROM THE A.I. TOUR. SHE IS A VERY NEGATIVE , ANNOYING PERSON.

DC | 4/8/2009, 1:29 pm EST

Adam and Allison are polished and ready to record now. I look forward to seeing them each week. However, I cannot stand Paula Abdul’s mindless dribble – so I DVR each week to FFWD her. Unfotunately AI ran over by 10 min and it cut off Adam. :( I hope they show Adam’s entire performance tonight to make up for their oversight!!!

Maurice overseas | 4/9/2009, 2:39 pm EST

Megan could’ve been the next AI IF she knew what she was doing up there in the first place. She had the looks and her voice was up to the challenge, but she definitely needs to learn how to move on stage. Gosh, my 5-y-o nephew has more stage presence than her! Add to that her terrible song choices, the most stupid dance I’ve ever seen in my life and childish attitude and you have a recipe for disaster. It’s a pity, though.
As for Adam, I bet he’s gonna be the one who will benefit more from the show. He’s playing the game well and he’s experienced enough not to make the mistakes Megan made. Oh, and Kris is the one who’s probably going to get the best record deal of them all, he’s very marketable. But it’s Allison who shakes my world… wow! That girl can sing!

dancer | 4/9/2009, 5:09 pm EST

Wow, it’s sad to read all the crap people have to say about Megan. So what if she got voted off and didn’t get to fight to stay on the show.. that doesn’t make her a bad person. You don’t know her. I don’t know her either. You can’t just hate someone if you don’t even know who they are.
I personally think she didn’t care about leaving because she missed her kid too much. She’s probably a wonderful mother.

Jeff | 4/11/2009, 5:18 pm EST

Where to start. Love her or hate her, the reason Megan Joy didn’t go further was because of her insecurity and lack of confidence. At the beginning she said how happy she was to get to Hollywood because nothing good ever happens to her but I think she believed that a little too much. So much that she was kicked off the show. No question she was marketable, beautiful, and had a unique and wonderful voice but that will only get you so far. A lot of people are talented but confidence paired with being humble, and having charisma are very important attributes. Prime examples are Adam and Allison. They both have amazing voices but one has the whole package and the other keeps making it in the bottom three. We all know Megan cared even though she said she did not. It wasn’t because she wanted to go home to her kid although that was important, it was because she started believing that she wasn’t good enough when she received criticism on her not so good weeks. She was worn down mentally. Once she developed the negative attitude and started believing she wasn’t good enough, so did America.

I’m sure Megan has regrets and if I had a chance to talk to her I would NOT say, “How dare you didn’t care when many people with the same amount of talent would give anything to have been in your place”. What I would say is, “I hope you learned from this experience and given a 2nd chance you go for it with everything you got”. Life is not easy for anyone in many circumstances, but we all get up every day and try. I will end with lyrics from an Eminem song and hope that Megan get’s a 2nd chance just like Eminem and fights for it. Good Luck Megan if you really want it.

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted – One moment, would you capture it, or just let it slip?

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo!

bob corkery | 4/18/2009, 1:38 pm EST

She stood out the most to me from all of the ones AI showed during the auditions. I hoped that she would make the show and did. Obviously the judges thought she had potential to bring her back. A very unique talent who should not be on the show to begin with but who we would never have had the opportunity to experience if she never auditioned. Now is her opportunity to make something of her talent. Hopefully she will be signed or will release something herself so those of us who appreciate something that is not so predictable and is actually different, will have a new talent to enjoy listening to. It is becasue she does not sing like all of the rest that makes her so interesting to listen to. No matter what song she sang. When a person listens to a lot of music, we search for those who are brave enough to be different and somehow not be influenced by the record industry to fit their idea of what they think they should sound like or how to sing. She is the most unique talent I can remember on AI and would hate to see her dissappear from the music industry. No artist will ever be able to please everyone. She has a place in the industry and it was never with AI. Bob Dylan and Prince would both have been cut from this show as well as many other unique talents. But they all have their place for us to enjoy their work. We can only wait and see where Megan may go. May turn into something great.

She was supposed to show up for a live morning TV news cast on Wednesday at 7am. Guess who showed up 10 minutes before the show was over at 9am? You got it. I stoned and drunk Megan Joy Dumbass.

Wow…Looks like the time on the 15 minutes of fame clock is about to run out.

I just read through all these comments in amazement. I for one will say this about Megan Joy–she is one of the most stunningly beautiful women I have ever seen in my life (and I am NOT gay!!) I just know good looks when I see them and this girl is off the charts gorgeous!!! Anyone that calls her a loser has got to simply just be JEALOUS of her…she has just SO much going for herself and that is the truth! I am surprised that she is not already a top model- –even Paula kept saying she was in awe of her beauty—she is a VERY RARE NATURAL BEAUTY. Her voice is pretty nice for certain kinds of songs. She definitely has some talent there with her voice and unique style—-along with those looks, this girl could get where ever she wants to get!! She has the world at HER fingertips!!! Hardly any women in this world are THAT gorgeous and to have a decent voice along with those looks!!! —I myself would way rather be Megan Joy than Alison or Cindy Lauper or tons of famous people that can not hold a candle to Megan Joy!!! I for one knew what she meant, that she did’nt care what Simon thought, she felt she did her best—good for her she did’nt kiss the judges butts like every contestant does–She felt she did her best, she was happy with her performance and that’s all that mattered to her. Good for her!!! I for one think that shows alot of confidence. I did’nt view her as cocky- just not an ass kisser and good for her. She is unique. She is as good as Simon Cowell or anyone else–who the heck is he to down people the way he does. Good for her speaking up for herself. If Simon was’nt so rude when giving critisisum- I think Megan would have come back with a more gracious attitude. I have a feeling like that guy said on this site that met her while auditioning and said she was very down to earth and nice– & I believe she probably is—people are unfair with all their petty comments about her when they don’t even know her!!! If people are being totally honest here- they should own up to the fact that Megan definitely has “Mega Star” potential on her looks alone. Her voice could be really good with the right songs and direction. She could definitely succeed in any area she chooses to go and people have seen her now- she will have doors open for her believe me from this experience. I thought Anna Nicole Smith was stunning and Miss Megan Joy here I believe is a look alike to her…if not prettier and should portray her in a movie on her life!!! Good luck to you Megan in your career- I know you will be a big star!!! Don’t listen to these idiots calling you trailer trash!!! Believe you me they are only very JEALOUS women!!!! If you could get the tatoo removed, I would do that—but whatever you are happy with – be true to yourself-which I think you are— you’re gorgeous and talented regardless!~!Good luck to you!!!!
