"She had her grand moments," said Paul Brighton of Audition Portal. Seems that wasn’t enough though for aspiring singer Megan Joy, the latest contestant to leave "American Idol." Megan did an admirable job with Bob Marley's "Turn Your Lights Down Low," but despite her last-ditch efforts, the 23-year-old singer from Sandy, Utah received the least number of viewer votes on “American Idol” Wednesday, with no hope for a judges' save.
Said Simon Cowell, "I'm not going to pretend that we're even going to contemplate saving you," in the moments the singer’s performance. That alone crushed what was supposed to be her chance to convince them to keep her on.
Singer Allison Iraheta from Los Angeles and singer Anoop Desai from Chapel Hill, N.C. joined Joy as the bottom three vote-getters this week.
Simon called the singer’s performance "boring" and "indulgent." I love you, Simon, but I don't care," Joy said Wednesday. Simon got the last word, though. “Megan, with the greatest respect, when you said that you don't care, nor do we. This is your swan song. Enjoy it."
Kara criticized the singer’s choice of songs, insisting said she would have rather heard Adele's "Chasing Pavements" instead of the Marley song." as she was being heckled by the audience
On next Tuesday's “American Idol” show, the remaining top eight finalists will perform songs released the year they were born, which means all remaining finalists, except Iraheta will be performing songs from the 1980s.
The eight remaining contestants are Kris Allen, Iraheta, Desai, Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert, Matt Giraud, Lil Rounds, and Scott MacIntyre.
