I think in the studio w. some technical help, she could record a good record. But like all records, it all depends on the quality fo the song and production. i like the girl, it wasnt half bad. that note at the end was a bit embarassing, but she does have an interesting tone to her voice.

I love raspy women's voices -- wish I had one instead of the way generic voice I've got. I'd love to see her really buckle down and do well. It's a lot of work, though, and I still don't see any real signs that she understands what the work would entail -- just starting her own band isn't going to do it!

The stage was way too big for her. It's okay to be unique, but you got to sing on key. Oh man…that was embarrassing….like a bad talent show act. The stage was way too big for her.

I think the person that cut her hair should be punched! Megan had the most beautiful hair that made her even more attractive and an eye stopper because it was so unique. Now it's just blond and below the shoulders. Nothing unique anymore about it...I don't know it she cut it because it was bleached (after appearing on Idol) and dried it out but I still think it was a mistake for her to loose the beautiful length that she started with.

Too bad better singers didn't get their shot at the top 10 just because Megan Joy is pretty. I saw her live and she has no stage presence, zero singing ability, and she was charmless. She did not belong on the same stage as the other performers. Period. Oh no, no, no – that was pitiful. Too bad better singers didn’t get their shot at the top 10 just because Megan Joy is pretty.

Plus the fact that with the looks she has going, she has a built-in huge birth. Basically, many are listening with their eyes only. It happens. I do hope she digs in and studies the world of music she seeks to inhabit. But, I'm not holding my breath on that one. Obviously, she feels she had developed her musical voice well enough to have tried out for AI. Hey, there's always auto-tune now, to fill in the wide gaps she leaves in her wake. Won't help much with her performance skills though which seem pretty wooden to me. lucy, I think you’re getting the gist of the issues with Megan.

That you can do it just by letting sounds that sound kind of cool to you fly out of your mouth, without any particular intention and without having to understand anything about music, that you just *break* rules without knowing what any of the rules are. Plus, you mainly just copy other people who are supposed to be avant garde and alternative. Apparently she doesn't realize that the avant garde and alternative and edgy generally have to be the best musicians of all and that it takes a long time and a lot of musical knowledge to develop an actual breaking-the-rules style that can be expressive and interesting and worth listening to. She thinks it's all about chaos, but it's not. She has a lot to learn, but I don't see that she's learned anything at all yet. Too bad, cause I kind of like Megan.

That song suits her, and it worked for me except a little bit at the end. I think there can be a niche musically for Megan with the right choices. She has a style that's quirky but fun and entertaining. Believe it will work better though in smaller more intimate venues or recordings, and more backing support than she had for this song. I liked her first song on tour quite a bit. It's also nice to see her out of the Barbie-wear into something more suited for her personality. Very nice to see Megan in an appearance.

She is a very pretty woman who sings OK rather than a singer who happens to be very pretty. Sometimes I hear a quality in her voice that is very likable, but then it passes--I think she could benefit from some more vocal training. I have a feeling she's using her voice wrong. I think she will find her niche. She could sing in a cabaret or coffee house and be fine. She is a very pretty woman who sings OK rather than a singer who happens to be very pretty.

She just needs the perfect song. This, in comparison to the version she sang on Idol, is far better. You can tell how much she has grown over the summer being on tour.
