Top 9: Megan Joy turns the lights down lowMegan why?!?!?  She chose the Bob Marley/Lauryn Hill version of "Turn Your Lights Down Low." I wanted to shut them completely off and hide under the covers. It was wrong on so many levels that I don't even have time here to list all of the issues. Simon said it was "indulgent," his word du jour when he hates it. Megan thinks the audience and her fans were "feeling it." I don't think so. –Lisa Respers France, CNN.com writer |

I think she's adorable, and her singing had a unique twist to it, but Good Lord the girl has no moves whatsoever!!!!! I'd cringe every time she tried to do any attempt of dancing during her performances. Last night with the arms waving, and the crowing on her way to sit down as the first of the bottom three literally left me speechless. I would certainly recommend she sit down while she sings, but I think she'll surface again just like little Kellie Pickler.
has anyone noticed that she has NO rhythm at all!!
Somebody grab the hook and sound the gong, please! How in the world can this utterance of whiney screeching and uncontrolled cutting off of unsustained notes be considered singing? ACK!
I also forgot to ask What Fans???
This is Adam Lambert's competition to lose. He is by far the best of this group. I am just not as impressed by this final 12 as I have been in the past, for whatever reason. The added judge has just added time to my wait for the real person I want to hear, which is Simon. I also like to hear Randy, but the other two just makes me work my finger on my TIVO a little harder.
Last night her voice was quivering so much that I thought the TV was going to fall off the stand. Ouch did it hurt. Sorry megan but homeward bound you go. Now is the chance for Idol producers to bring back Alexis Grace
Please, please send her home!
Megan, don't embarrass yourself any further. Go home! Volunteer yourself. So you won't keep embarrassing yourself every week. The only fans you have are the goats on the farm.
One word:HORRIBLE. 3 WORDS: GO HOME MEGAN. 4 words: your voice is awful. 21 words: You do NOT make any effort to improve because you think your fans support you, but we do NOT support you!
I think someone needs to tell this gal about Feist if she makes it through this week. Her performance might be tolerable.
She would make a great jazz singer. I can't beleive the crap you guys post. Rude
It is my opinion that Meagan should leave. She gets worse every week and promises to do better, I am sorry I don't think she can.
Hate to admit it but I agree with Simon on this one.
Painful to watch and listen to. I liked Megan at first, but that has changed thanks to her horrible song choices.
last week I though Megan had hit rock bottom... but this week she really put some effort into it... digging the hole deeper. She better go home now and stop embarassing herself. How come none of the judges rags on her "dancing" or stupid outfits... no talent here. Once she goes home Anoop and Matt will follow. Both are in trouble after last night's performance, Scott is not far behind. Kris saved himself this week
Top 5 Allison, Adam, Danny, Lil, Kris
Top 3: Allison, Adam, Danny
No 1: Adam
So awful...and painful.
she just doesn't seem to have the range/ability that she thinks she (or her "fans" ) has...she'll be leaving soon.....
I think she is out of her league, and her looks have taken her as far as they can. It's time for her to go home.
How it is that this girl is still in the competition and Alexis is not continues to baffle me. That performance... and I use that term lightly... was an utter disaster. I was half expecting FEMA to rush into the theater half way through the song to rescue everyone. This one needs to go, now!
The only reason shes still on the show is cause shes fine as hell HA
I don't know how she made the top 36. If she survives another week she should sing "Mr. Roboto" by Styx. If would fit perfectly with the arm movements she uses while attempting to sing.
I think Megan has a great voice, and its different from all the others.
What ever she sings it, I like it. Keep it up. Don't let anyone think otherwise.
Turn the lights down, in fact turn them OFF, close the window blinds, lock the door, put earplugs in with a set of earmuffs over those plugs and close your eyes!! UNREAL that she is still on this show.....she is a beautiful girl with a horrible voice.
The reason she's still around is because Votefortheworst.com is voting for her. She's horrible and they know it, it's what they do every season to try and sabotage american idol.. ugh.
OMG, what a mess. Rockin Robin was especially warbly tonight. Although she had teenage boys across North America drooling down their shirts as she was singing 'I want to give you some good good lovin,' ..if there is any justice, Wednesday night she falls out of the nest.
She is horrible. They must get rid of her.
Looks like "Vote For The Worst" is promoting her, so I am afraid she won't be leaving tonight. I really hope I am wrong!!
It is the site.... Vote For the Worst that is keeping her on here. It should be banned!
I liked Megan at first because she was sort of unique. However, that wore out very quickly due to her lack of range. She sounds the same all the time. I believe her beauty and interesting body language has kept her alive this long but that's wearing out as well. She's ok but she doesn't have what it takes to be a star. I'm guessing she'll go home tonight.
As a fan of Megan's I can tell you that she was right on the money last night.....I was feeling it........nausea!!! Megan, I love you, but that was horrible!!!
Megan may not be able to reach the high notes that other contestants can but I like her still. Megan can sing. That's why she made it to Hollywood. She's different and not boring like the others.
Ok. I think she is definately the worst singer of the 9. She should have gone home last week. She does seems very personable and nice, maybe a career in marketing or public relations but in no way SINGING. She seems so nice and I hope she finds ger calling, but this is not it.
Paula said Megan was current at her audition, I thought she was awful. Randy said he liked her little corkscrew dance move, I thought it was just her awkward way of moving because she has no sense of rhythm. Simon said he likes Megan, I say what's to like about her? I truly don't understand why this girl made it through a single stage of this process and I definitely don't know why she is still on today. Please make her leave so I don't have to listen to her butcher any other songs.
I like Megan. I enjoy her unique singing style and look. She does have a beautiful smile! In many ways, it's not a melodic voice, but in my opinion, that is not what makes her worth listening to. She is a story teller of kinds.... Remember Bob Dylan? His voice, very gravely...(Not that great a looker...) Megan's got that one on him. So, along with his song to be sung.... He composed them as well....Can she do this? What IS her story for the times? I like the cutsey little twists and off beat movements to her music. I believe those to be on purpose. Different.... Not for everyone kind of performer. I would listen to her music if out there to be purchased. Good Luck Megan! Being yourself is number one in my book!
Deb
she's really good actually
she just doesn't do well live
check her studio performances
Why is this girl still here? How did she even get to the finals. She cannot sing! Oh could it be a beauty contest? or all those low cut tops? I thought we were having a talent contest–silly me.
Linda, North Carolina
Megan just cannot sing and I couldn't understand why the judges EVER said anything good about her from the beginning. There must be a lot of adolescent males out there who think she is hot because I cannot imagine who else would be voting for her. Waaaaay past time to go! Send this pretty (but untalented) lady home.
Megan, Megan, What happened to the smokey/jazzy sound and songs that we fell in love with. The quirkyness? Remember all the compliments by Kara & Randy. If you're lucky enough to make another week, go back to your old style or you will go home. The judges who loved you so much are getting fed up with you. You're blowing it the last 2 weeks big time.
There is no way to say this nicely but bottom line-she sannot sing and how she made it to this point is beyond me–no doubt in my mind that if she is eliminated tonight the judges wn't save her
Sad...what a talent gone awry. This girl has such a folksy soulful bluesy voice with her deep quivering trail-offs. Yet, it IS the cliche'd "the wrong song is ALWAYS chosen by this girl." She could go so far only if she were to find herself and her music; she hasn't found her pocket, yet. She is so unique, but she's also probably done for the contest....BUT, I sure hope some producers are taking note and will finally match her beautiful voice to music that fits HER style. Then, you'll easily have a star on your hands.
This chick sucks every freaking week. She's cute but she can't sing for 'ish!!!! Please Please Please LET MEGAN GO!!!
OMG this chick sucks and needs to go already! Someon take the phones from those teenage boys who are digging her looks and boobs.
It's about singing, not looks. Bye Bye.
Sasha and Brittany are right on...
she needs to deliver next week (yes you read it right...next week)
she is the only eye candy (yes you read it right ...BABE) ,quirky,unique
artist (yes you read it right ...artist) left to keep shallow me (yes you
read it right...shallow) interested in watching thru the end of the season.
the rest are cc's of a bygone day. everybody knows adam will be the next AI
The problem with Meagan is that she does have a truly unique voice and she doesnt know how to use it. She is not BAD she just sings Badly. She needs to listen to the judges when they tell her what songs she should sing and stop trying to be defiant and all "I'm doing my own thing" Your own thing isnt working for you sweetie and its a shame. I truly was glad when you were picked to be in top 13. Find your nitche if you are given the chance.
Also, one more important note – The reason Megan did not end up in bottom 3 last week. Its something called "ANTI-IDOL" a website devoted to ppl who hate idol and vote for the worst to keep them in competition. Remember Sanjaya???? That was them! Which I must say I dont get. If you dont like a show why would you spend your time (nee waste your time) voting????
Wonder who's voting for her? I was shocked that she wasn't in the bottom 3 last week, I'm sure she'll be one of the contenders to go this week. Looks can carry you only so far!
Megan please go home NOW!!! She was bloddy awful, this girl can not sing.... And what is with her quirky dancing and her arms swinging everywhere.... Let's all cross our fingers and hope she is off the show tonight!!!!
TO: zur4roze April 1st, 2009 12:07 am ET
Kris stood out last night, I think he had a real moment for the first time. He was great.
Allison, Danny, and Adam have been great every week. This week all three were good, not great.
With the right song, she could be great, but i only see her being a one-song famer. She definitely needs to go now. And dear goodness work on the stage act.
I don't get why this girl was even picked to be on idol. Yes her voice is different because she's the only one that can't sing. I would guess her beauty is what is keeping her in the competition. She also needs dance lessons because that wierd wiggle dance she does is just goofy, I was glad one of the judges told her to stop that while doing a very short immitation, but it was Paula so she might not have understood the comment. Megan Joy needs to give up singing and head to Hollywood becuase who would turn down that beautiful face, she would be a star overnight
I understand the draw, truly. Her quirkiness is charming, and her style is current. But I'm not impressed with her vocal skills. This was her worst performance I've seen. Warning – cringe moment...Paula was right. She just doesn't sell it well. She needs to be more of a presence on stage and pick songs that are better purveyors of her style and vocal range.
She can't sing.
I agree Megan sucks and needs to go home!!!!!!
Such a beautiful girl but not such a great singer! It's easy to say she will go and soon!
When did she change her name?? I remember Megan Corkrey... we'd gotten used to calling her "Corky"! I'm refusing to call her "Joy". As Simon would say... "sorry!"
She needs to go... Along with Anoop... Bottom three will be her, Anoop and Scott
Somebody please make me understand how Meagan even made it in the bottom 9. What part does America not understand. The girl can't sing or dance. She's a hot mess! She really needs to be eliminated TONIGHT!!!!!
I agree Brittany! She is one of my faves... she just needs to pick the right kind of songs for her voice. I know she won't win, but I like what she brings to the show. I'd like to see her around for a few more weeks.
Ok... this is the first time I have EVER watched the show. So take my comment as it is intended – I am a fresh eye and completely objective right now. Megan was terrible last night. She's beautiful, I can tell she CAN sing... but I don't for a second think she will make a living as a singer. I know people who are much more talented than she and even THEY wouldn't be a superstar. Nothing against her personally, but she is the most shocking of the final 9.
Why is she still around? I didn't see the early rounds, but the past three weeks have been awful. She doesn't belong on the same stage with Adam. Is it because she's this year's blond? It sure isn't because she can sing or even has much stage presence. She reminds me of a high schooler auditioning for their first musical...awkward.
Dan, the fact that your a Megan fan says it all. Your tone deaf that's why you don't think Adam can sing. Megan tone is always off so for you that's on pitch. Repeat after me. MEGAN SUCKS
she's real bad, but like Antonella, please give us a couple more weeks to drool...
Megan has to go, she does not seem interested in the judges comments to deliver what is required in this competition. She seems to believe "her fans' will vote her through. How over confident can you be???? What fans????? Nice girl but needs to come out of her own little world to understand what sells records and then act on it.
Total train wreck....HORRIBLE! Of course she's still there because of Vote for the Worst. It sure as heck isn't because of her so-called singing! She's like fingernails on a chalkboard and can't carry a tune! Please, please, PLEASE send her packing tonight!
Megan will be History tonight
Megan is a Train Wreck she need vocal training her voice is off pitch. She sounds awful. She should have gone home three weeks ago.
It makes me so angry that sooo many people hate her!! Megan is one of my favorites on the show... granted, she has had some questionable weeks but Im confident there are several contestants that should be booted off before she is!
You all keep saying its a singing competition and she shouldnt be judged on her looks; most of you are hypocrites, then.... because you slam her for not being able to dance as if you didnt just contradict yourself.................. shes NOT the best contestant and certainly NOT going to be in the top but she deserves to be here over anoop, lil, scott AND ADAM LAMBERT
I hate to say it but Megan has got to go. The singing was bad enough, and that's reality. The other problem seems to be that the girl has no rhythm....her hip and leg movements were enough to make you crazy.
Go back to Salt Lake and take care of your little boy and have a good life. This is not the business for you unless of course, as Simon would say, you'll be singing on a cruise ship.
Awful, awful, awful. She does not belong in the top 50, let alone top 9. To top it all of she is annoying beyond belief. Hit the bricks!
FYI – Megan is "Vote for the Worst" online. There ar epeople voting for her just to ruin the show.
Year after year it's the same thing and Randy reiterated it last night, "Just because you like a song doesn't mean you can sing it well." Or, "My Gramma/Grandpa/mom/dad/son/daughter/best friend/cat or dog loves this song." It's not rocket science. Stick with the style your voice compliments.
In Megans case there is a very narrow genre she excels in but unfortunately seems to obstinate to recognize it.
I love Megan's style of singing and maybe with her own songs she could stay in key. She is very beautiful but vocally not on the same level. 🙁
America, please send Megan home. Ever since she sang Rockin' Robin and actually cawed at the end of the song, I had no love for her. Wait, do Robin's even caw? Don't they tweet as the song implies?
her loyal fans>>>VOTEFORTHEWORST.COM
I went to the basement to put clothes from the asher to the dryer, and I STILL managed to hear her warbling. Ick. Must wash a larger load next time.
I'm a big Megan fan, but this week was horrible. I could not stand it and one of the things that I like about her is starting to fade away....her personality. she seems to be getting a little arrogant. it doesn't work for her. I don't think she is going home though. I believe it will be Matt. He wound up in the bottom two last week after he sang well. He is in trouble this week.
She sounds like a nanny goat. Her vibrato is horrible! I think she's one of the worse finalists ever–even worse than Sanjay.
What is she doing in the top group???
Long overdue to go home
It isn't the songs that she is picking, she just can't sing. She should just volunteer to go home.
Is she this years Sanjaya? She is horrible! That little twirley "dance" she does when singing is very annoying. That outfit she wore really showed that she is not as "cute" as everyone thinks she is and I think that is the only reason she has stuck around so long. She's got a gut and a flat butt. She definitely is not a good singer, so I think people were voting for her solely on looks. Well, not this week. Please vote Megan off!!!!
Megan was one that impressed me at the beginning. Now I hate to say it, but her last few songs were awful!
If I had to guess who will be cut, it would definately be Megan, with none of the judges saving her.
I actually loved it. She is such an adorable person and has a very different sort of voice. I always look for her on the show. She is one of my favourites. I hope she makes it through this round.
Someone needs to put this poor girl's voice out of its misery. she gets worse every week!!!
Didn't like it. Her face saves her!
I was feeling it – all the way to the toilet, so I could throw up!
Just God awful. Looks like she's concentrating on staying still so she doesn't go into her epilectic fit dance moves by mistake. Truly needs the hook.
Megan is this year's "Vote for the Worst" poster child. Her so-called fans are really people that can't stand her and like to torture the faithful viewers.
Miss Tweet Tweet is history 2 horrible performance sin a row. And No the judges wont save her. Too boring and same old from her time and time again.
I will never understand why a girl as beautiful as Megan would disfigure herself so horribly with such a hideous tattoo.
She is a pretty lady in the face, until she sings and dances.... she is GOTTA GO>>>> she is a disgrace to the music world. Looks only get ya so far in life..... IF you gonna have a tatoo.... put it somewhere we can't see it,,,, not very lady like all down the arm..... very unattractive!
She should have been gone the first week... really !!! She's awful. She's just a pretty face. That's it !!! I can't stand her signing...
Hope she leaves tonight !!!
I have watched American Idol every year since it has started and I can tell this chick is the absolute worst singer they have ever had. When she was singing last night I wanted to throw something at the television. BYE BYE Megan we won't miss you.
Megan has a unique and interesting voice which makes it even more difficult for her to find the right song...kind like Macy Gray. I hope she sticks around and finds the right song next week.
I cannot believe that Megan has that much confidence in her singing, if that's what we are calling it, to say that her "fans" will get her through each week. Her performance was renching once more. How much more do we have to endure before the tone-deaf people will let her go on home. Go see her on tour if you are that much of a fan. Don't make me listen to her another week.
Still the worst performance. How was she not voted off the first week? Saddest thing was, this was one of her "favorite" songs.
Hey, at least she's good eye candy for the camera. I turn down the volume but damn is she cute! But sadly, she has tgo go.
I think she is so pretty. But, she needs to go! She should have went home last week. But, so many people fall for a pretty face. There is something unique in her voice. She has potential, but she is not showing it. Matter of fact, she acts like the judges bad comments don't mean a thing.
SHE SHOULD OF NEVER BEEN THERE TO BEGIN WITH!!! WHAT THE VOTERS SEE , I DONT KNOW, ALEXIS WAS WAY BETTER THAN HER. MAYBE SHE IS STILL THERE TO AGGRIVATE SIMON.
For the life of me, I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS HASN'T EXITED THIS SHOW. She's beyond marginal, she's just bad. I guess people are more concerned about her blond hair, tatooed arms, and her smile.
Question: I THOUGHT THIS SHOW WAS ABOUT........TALENT ???
Megan can sing... she's just not Idol material. I felt her end should have come last week, but as many others here have said, there's probably a lot of sixteen year old boys propping her up with votes. Hate to see some one with more talent go because of it.
I defintely was not feeling it – I really do not care for her voice to begin with but if she did the right songs she could pull it off. This is a classic song that I agree with the judges – I could not wait for it to be over but that was my opinion on her last performance as well. I can not believe she did not go home last week. I also find her responses to the judges critique a bit arogant. She is not good enought to be so full of herself. She said she liked the songs and felt the audience liked it – don't be so sure of yourself!
yeah... i honestly think you guys are acting like dumb americans who eats everything the so called judges say. megan joy and adam are the only singers this season who has a real potential! she does'nt do well live.. i agree with that.. but without her .. its just another boring pop ai season. simon knew that back then.. they must have her cause she's unique. but whatever.. i bet if simon said that it was great, the comments here would've been different.
I love her quirky voice.
It's not her voice, but her poor choice of songs that will send her home.
One word – awful!
Megan, you are my inked songbird of love. You keep bringing the weird and I'll keep voting for you. For real people, do you think Anoop is entertaining at all? Scott? Does he have star quality!? No! Megan Joy makes crazy faces. And it's not a singing competition despite what the judges say. It is about ENTERTAINMENT. She gave a big ole' CAW CAW that went straight through my soul a few weeks ago. Oh, and there are TOO MANY MEN in the top ten because the producers know the frau will eat it up. Megan needs to stay and stick it to the man.
I can't believe Alexis Grace went home before Megan.
She has a unique sound but needs to go home and work
on how to use it.
She needs to be thankful that vote for the worst is in her corner. I can't imagine how anyone could like that and how she made it past Rockin Robin is still stunning.
She is the worst singer ever. I wonder if Howard Stern and his "vote for the worst" group is somehow behind her being there. Yes, she is pretty, but only in comparison to the rest of the contestants. She IS NOT hot. She's just the fake gemstone in the rough. Alison would have her beat in the looks department hands down if she would get rid of that burgundy hair, and the Tina Turner in Mad Max hair style. Alison would look great with black hair. But anyway, Megan, you suck, go home, tear out your vocal chords. (It sounds like someone already has).
She is horrible and I don't understand why she is on this show.. I would take that crazy puerto rican girl... (i can't remember her name for the life of me) the one that didn't end up in top 13.... I would take her any day over this girl... this girl shouldn't have made it this far... or even into the top 13... she is horrible...
This woman is so good looking and so hot but I have to admit, she doesn't belong in this competition. I do like looking at her every week.
She needs to turn her lights OFF! Awful...absolute mess! Did I say awful? Pretty girl, but awful! Gotta go!
I've never understood how she got picked to begin with once they got down to 36. Ok, she's got a pretty face, but her voice leaves so much to be desired. I haven't watched a whole performance of her ever – very shrill singer that will go home tomorrow – please!
I actually kinda enjoy Megan. I think that Karaoke Scott should go, or maybe Lil. Why did no one notice how pitchy she was tonight?
Love Megan too...but...but...this competition is not for her...hopefully someone will sign her up but how many more of Amy Winehouse-ish sounding artists can the industry take?
Megan really does have one of the more unique voices. Given the right type of song I think she can out do Adam head-to-head. Unfortunately whoever is handling her doesn't know what to do with her, she should step up and take over. She should do Norah Jones or Amy Winehouse...I bet she'd nail any Amy Winehouse song. On potential, I'd like to see her stick around. On performances recently...I'm surprised she is still here.
Megan,
Listen to the judges. They are not trying to kill your spirit, they are trying to give you valuble feedback. This is the kind of feedback you want, our never going to get better if you dont listen to them. They could just tell you bluntly that you suck, instead they try to tell you how to be better. There are singers out there who would kill for that.
Drop your pride and snide quips "my fans will vote for me" . Girl thats rude, those judges are dropping jewels at your feet by giving you critiques.
Does anybody else here think Megan is downright rude to the judges and well kinda full of herself with her constant comments on her fans? I mean shes only on American Idol..what is she going to do when she gets kicked off? Loosing her contact with her "fans"
I liked her at first, but attitude sucks. She presents herself as just another snotty blonde. Her cool tat can't even save her from her own inner uglyness.
Bye Bye Megan. You are definitely a hottiie, but it's time to go.
The only positive thing I can say is that she seems to have stopped those random jerky arm movements... just hold the fricking mic stand and dont move!!
I equated her singing tonight to that of a sound of a mosquito... that whiny annoying buzz in your ear that wont go away, and doesn't get any better.
If she sang Adele or Duffy, it would have been much better. ANd the girl doesn't need so much makeup!! She is pretty without it – the makeup and get up tonight was just atrocious!!
I love love love megan every week! She was loads better this week but she needs to start getting serious. I only gave her 2000 votes tonight instead of 5000. I just hope others voted for her lot more.Anoop has got to go
For lack of a better comparison, she's the Sanjaya of this season...no vocal talent or rhythm, but she keeps getting the male/tattoo lover/pity vote. Sanjaya rocked the pity vote however long he did, but Megan will continue to draw the male viewers despite her many shortcomings. We'll see her for at least a couple more weeks.
I'd buy her album, but I'd toss the CD and just stare at the cover.
She should try some Bonnie Raitt....I think with the right song choices -with her looks, she could do ok. Not a fan of tattoo's though unless she wants to be a rocker!!
Megan is the one who should have done some No Doubt/Gwen Stefani tonight.
I would like to hear her do "Just a Girl" or "Cuz I love to wash in your old bathwater.....etc. That's kind of swingy/cabaret like her.
Her act is unique and is not lost on me, but she needs to get out of her comfort zone.
She needs to add some staccato to that voice. Everything is a bit too cabaret.
She seems like a fun person but she is not a very good singer.
Guys aren't voting. It's votefortheworst!!! They're the reason she's in!!!
best voice i have ever heard. her awesome voice is match by her looks and those move omg!! those moves. someones got to be training her but shes probley just that talented. man just give her the trophy. its over!!!!! megan all the way.
Megan should have been out before Hollywood. I feel sorry for those that have to listen to her sing when she is on tour. I hope she is the one going home.
I said last week that Megan was a terrible singer and this week was much worse. She should be axed tomorrow night and like I said last week, That new judge Kara should also be canned! She is a pain! Why did the AI think they needed her? They got along without her before we met her so we can get along without her now.
I didn't like this song for her or last week's but there is something endearing about her. I'm tired of hearing her talk about her fans will love it because I'm a fan and I can't ignore the fact that she keeps making bad choices. I LOVED her rendition of Rockin Robin which is the only reason I hope see her improve but won't be disappointed if she goes. I'd rather her go than take a chance from someone consistently good (Allison) Anyway I would like to see Megan make it to judges choice week... just to hear what a good song choice would do for her.
remember Sanjaya? Megan is still around because of votefortheworst.com. she is pleasant to look at. but that's all.
Scott and Lil need to go , also Anoop Maybe Megan after that
You guys keep up your critiques. I'll keep voting. Go Megan–you are awesome!
Best tonight... NONE all just okay performances! No standouts.
That is because they had no director no mentor. I didn't like anyone's song choice. Adam and Megan. I would remember them and I would buy their songs. Unique and creative are the foundation to a great artist.
All the contestants can sing, but only those two keep our interest.
Jaws Fan March 31st, 2009 10:14 pm ET
Best…Performance…Ever.
It will end up being a battle for second between Adam and Kris as Megan continues tatooing the field week after week.
Who goes home this week? Gotta be Scott. Worst version of a Billy Joel song ever, including all the karaoke bars worldwide.
------------------
Are you hearing impaired by chance or a friend or family member? This girl can't sing a lick and should go home tomorrow night!
Hotter than Hades but I think she's going home.
I thought Megan's performance was lovely and the song really showcased her voice. I was genuinely surprised by the judge's reaction.
I swear if this girl doesn't go tomorrow night, I'm going to scream! She is by far the worst of this season and I can't believe she has made it this far in the competition! I mean even that kid that was a drama queen with the headband can sing better than her. She sounds like a sheep when she sings, has no stage presence, and what is with that god awful tattoo on her arm?? Please America get it right this time and put us (or at least me) out of our misery!
I love Meagan! There is something about her unique sound. She has a Jason Castro appeal.
"unique" and "different' are buzz words for, "She really sucks".
Beautiful person, but I don't like her voice.
Not good at all
Um, does she make anyone else recall Sanjaya? (sp?)
Yo listen Megan, you know what I love about you tonight? Your arm. If I could just separate your arm and vote for it I would, but in this competition we are stuck with the whole package. She is going home - to the place that she belongs ... lalalala
I can't stand how she smiles the same way every time she sings. No matter what the words she has that stupid smile. She needs to go home.
What is up with her whole-arm tattoo?
This one is going home this week.
Why, oh Why, is this woman still on? She should have been the one to leave last week! I mean, I can understand the flu week, but last week was a train wreck. And tonight was no better. I truly do not think that she sings well. Must be all the tattoo people keeping her on or something. She is beautiful, true, but she really needs to go.
The Vote for the Worst group gives her mega votes every week. This is the same outfit that kept Sanjaya in a couple of years ago.
She's trying too hard to create a Megan sound. Just sing the song in a normal voice and you will still creat your own sound, and will sound much better than forcing it.
I did' get it....sorry.....she reminds me of a quilt......a whole lotta different things stitched together. The beautiful face & elegant makeup-–then the full sleeve tats.....it looks like she is wearing a cocktail dress with tennis shoes on......The voice is very unique and interesting.....but, again, a mismatch with the song selection & presentation.
anyone remember season 1? Nikki McKibbin ...she is this seasons nikki...pretty to look at...annoying to the ears
hey...remember that vote for the worst thing from sanjaya days...its still around...
I second that word..horrible!!!!
she can't dance, sing..omg!!!
I don't think most of you realize how many bad singers are making millions of dollars and she could be one of the next top do so. Garth Brooks cant sing, period. Mick Jagger cant sing, Period. But they make millions doing so because they have good management who pick great songs. How many people do you know that can sing "Satisfaction" well? She is hot and yes, she sings below par but I ,like others, like her voice because its very different, she combines it with a sultry look and the whitest teeth I have ever came across. " ) and she has a smile to die for!
This girl just doesn't deserve to be there...plain and simple...how America voted off Alexis Grace before this girl is just beyond me...
I dont understand why she has not been voted off yet.... I agree with who ever said thier must be alot of guys voting. I am sorry but i did leave the room and really did not want to listen to anymore and i love Danny , Adam,and most all of the guys. Not for thier looks but they can sing.Thanks alot Megan.......
Time for Megan to go. She is attractive and unique, but not that talented as far as singing goes. She seems to get worse each week instead of better. And she had no reason to be that cocky about her "fans" after that miserable performance. Bob Marley????? Paula must be sharing her drugs with Megan.
One thing is if for certain, all the pot in the world wouldn't have made that performance seem any better.
The only thing worst than Megan's "Turn Your Lights Down Low" was Megan's "Rockin' Robin!" I am embarassed that America has not voted her off American Idol yet!
Should be gone this week. Kind of a bummer, she's the only thing worth looking at on the show this year.
hm, VFTW's influence is really shining through here.
The only thing Megan made me feel tonight is the need to see her off the show. We call her "washing machine girl". At least she didn't do the washing machine movements tonight.
One word - horrible!
Megan, you have gone as far as you can go and it is time to go home. You do have a voice but it isn't good enough to continue with competition. Pretty girl, but enough is enough.
I cannot believe she is still on the show! I do NOT like the tone of her voice at all! She is a beautiful girl but she must have a VERY large family that votes for her over and over!
She is going home tomorrow! She was the worst.
Megan, please go home. It pains me to watch you each week.
Meg,
While you are drop dead gorgeous and the camera absolutely loves you, I think you would have a better career trying out as an actress, rather than as a singer.
You are confident, I will give you that!
Good luck wherever your career takes you!
Best...Performance...Ever.
It will end up being a battle for second between Adam and Kris as Megan continues tatooing the field week after week.
Who goes home this week? Gotta be Scott. Worst version of a Billy Joel song ever, including all the karaoke bars worldwide.
she needs to change careers
Oh my God, no love for Megan. I thought the "fans" would be defending her here... Just joking – I hated it too! With a passion!
As a matter of fact, every time I see this girl, I have a mental debate with myself as to what do I hate more: A) the stupid dance moves, B) the crazy tatoo that is always out there, or C) the horrible voice hitting all the wrong notes?
Answer: ALL OF THE ABOVE! My God, I hope this lady goes home and never ever dances again on stage. Paula is usually dazed and confused but as a choreographer she couldn't have been more right: Megan, GET A CHAIR!!!
Megan and Scott need to go home.
Adam and Danny are going to have to compete against each other if they don't screw up – they are the only ones who are really rockin'!
This girl needs to be a model and forget about singing. I've never been impressed by her hokey song style.
I was a fan. I thought she was cool and funky. Not tonight. (I missed last week.) Wow. That was bad.
Bye Bye Megan!
She has a unique voice but unfortunately....that's not good. I'm so ready to NOT see her again.
She is awful. About like that 3 foot long tat on her arm.
Her voice is so monotone and everything sounds exactly the same coming from her. She is beautiful but she can not sing. I don't know how she makes it week after week either.
I did'nt like her tonight and I usually like her....I would have liked to hear her sing bubbly more her style with her way of singing
I REALLY like her. I like her song choices, and I like her voice. Out of all of the top 10 singers- hers is the only record I'd buy.
Fingers crossed she stays.
B-R-U-T-A-L.
Painful to listen to.
How has she managed to stay in there so long?? Should have been gone before the last 13!!
If this gal is still on the show next week, then the whole thing is fixed. She should've never gotten this far. She has very little talent in my opinion.
Three words. Stevie Nicks, Please
It's not the song choice judges, it is that she cannot sing.
Megan was so-so. I am a big fan but the judges were right. It was lame when the song is like vintage and deserves much more respect than she gave it. Speaking of respect her flippant lack of it is becoming obvious. She is forced to recycle her reactions to the judges remarks because she seems genuinely angry and can’t think of anything. She should be in trouble this week.
Awful! Just plain awful. Why does she sing like someone is holding her by the throat? What a mess.
Please GO HOME!!! She is so sure her fans will bail her out .... I doubt it with that performance!!!
I thought she had potential early on but after this week, it is time for her to go. This was an awful version of a great song. Listen to Colbie Caillat's version to help get this train wreck out of your head.
That was very bad.
awful–bye bye Megan
two words....train wreck. she's gotta go
She's really astoundingly bad. When you watch her dance you can see the girl has no rhythm either. Simon, this is your fault. Shoulda picked the other blonde chick back at the mansion. At least she could really sing.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
this is horrible...she cant sing
I haven't seen tonight's performance, but I wonder why Megan is still around. She can't sing or dance, BUT she is the only blonde left.
my utah,,, send her home,, polish her nails... the next penthouse of the year.... first time i have had the chance to c ai.. my god ,, what ,, what/// but she has the look
I can't wait to see her in Playboy!
Hot Hot Hot. She did ok. Anoop bailed her out
that girl sure has an annoying way of singing. if you are going to do wacky phrasing like she does, you better bring the vocal acrobatic ala bjork. the way she sings the "R" in her songs makes me want to cringe. its just simply unpleasant. like nails on a chalkboard. she flattens out all her sustained notes ever sol slightly which only leads to more of an overall bad aural experience. yoiks...
She can't sing at all. Why is she still there?
I've never been stabbed... let alone stabbed in the ears... until last night.
Negative. This was horrible...as usual.
Absolutely horrible. If she makes it to next week, I'll stop watching the show as the voters are obviously talent-challenged.
There must be alot of dudes voting this season... That would be the ONLY reason Megan is still around.
No joy for "Megan Joy." She is very confident that her fans will continue to support her, even when her performance is lacking. How long can this go on????
Turn the lights down, I wanted to turn the volume down!!!!
I don't understand who's voting for her. Yet again, another horrible performance but she keeps sticking around. She'll be THAT one. The one who's there waaaay too long at the expense of someone insanely good. Take your pick as to who that is but still. I don't get her. She annoys me to no end.
I was not feeling it.. I agree she could be in trouble and should be in the bottom 2
OMG...Megan, that was the biggest train wreck ever. Lick your wounds and go HOME!!
I actually really enjoyed her quirky sound... she needs to find the balance though ... last week was too fast... this week was a little too slow.
