Quotes from Megan Joy’s press conference earlier today. For more, check out MTV, LAT, and Zap2it.

  • What was with all the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“caw- cawà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  stuff? “I love birds and bird noises and I just decided if I’m going out, I’m going out with a bang and I’m just gonna be myself. I flew the whole time!”
  • Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s not that she didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t care about the showà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦. “I cared about the competition, like, I didn’t want people to misunderstand me not caring, I just didn’t care that Simon didn’t like my song.”
  • Was it easier to sing knowing there was no chance of being saved? “It was for sure easier cuz I didn’t care if I messed up, which I did. I was just stoked to flop around and be right in their faces and sing it, sing it right at ‘em.”
  • Is she proud of her brother talking back to Kara? “I’m always proud of my brother. He’s my boy and he’s like me, he just can’t help but be himself and I wasn’t surprised at all that he did it. It cracked me up. I was glad that Kara ended up taking it lightheartedly, though (laughs).”
  • Will she be getting a new tattoo? “I definitely am. I have a lucky ring that I’ve worn the entire time and I’m gonna have that tattooed on my ribs.
  • What will she do when she sees her son (probably on Wednesday), “I’m gonna hold him for as long as he’ll let me and I’m gonna try not to sob like a lunatic cuz, I’m sure he’ll just be confused and scared. It’s gonna be beautiful, I cannot wait.”
  • What does she want to do besides music (and making a guest appearance on Yo Gabba Gabba)? “I would love, like, I love cartoons. I like doing voices, I love Pixar. There’s a couple shows like I wanna make an appearance on. I’m down for whatever. Whatever life wants to introduce me to, I would love to dabble.”
  • What was she planning to sing next week? “I was gonna sing “Separate Lives” by Phil Collins because it’s beautiful and I was ready to show the world that I could belt it like the rest of em.”

 
  • Kirsten

    I was gonna sing à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Separate Livesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  by Phil Collins because ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s beautiful and I was ready to show the world that I could belt it like the rest of em.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

    We dodged a bullet there.

    Does she have any self-awareness about her talent? I suspect her brother would have had to go back to his heckler routine if she’d sung that for the judges.

    Spin it as much as you like, you psycho birdbrain. Whatthefuckever.

  • reeboks1

    i love phil collins.

  • reeboks1

    in fact, i think they should have phil mentor, and do a whole night of phil.

    as for MJC, i’m liking her better off the show. i hope she does well — maybe not in singing — but in general.

    I have love for Phil Collins, but the songs that I know from him are all with message so… maybe if Idols Give Back ever makes a come back… but I don ´t think so…

    Noel Gallagher or Robbie Williams will be pretty awesome in my honest opinion…

  • hypertwink

    Robbie Williams is in rehab, I read. Or he just left rehab, or whatever.

  • Valentin432

    I don’t know how she has hidden her crazyness for so long. No wonder VFTW love her.

    Megan was my original fave. She didn’t live up to her audition, but I like the way she went out.

  • abbysee

    Spin it as much as you like, you psycho birdbrain. Whatthefuckever.

    How about that?

    We dodged a bullet there.

    Someone up there loves us!

    No ——– you can’t. So happy we don’t have to pay for her delusion.

    Perfect, Allison Iraheta and hime will understand each other perfectly fine then…

  • Grammie Kari

    I saw Phil Collins in concert about 10 years ago. He was awesome and played every instrument in the band. He’s had some wonderful songs. Too bad Megan won’t be singing any. ;o)

  • weese

    Hate Phil Collins. Repetitive and boring. No one could make me like him. Not even Megan.

  • sunchick

    Robbie Williams is in rehab, I read. Or he just left rehab, or whatever.

    Does this mean he won’t be randomly getting naked in public anymore? :smirk1_ee:

  • hypertwink

    He left rehab without completing it so I think he’ll be getting naked soon.

    Megan doesn’t come across like the sharpest tack in the box. What does the ad say her IQ is?

  • Victoria

    Megan doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t come across like the sharpest tack in the box. What does the ad say her IQ is?

    121, so apparently she’s the smartest of all the contestants. Go figure. :laugh_tb:

    She really thinks she can “belt it like the rest of them”? Nooo, she can not.

  • wjmtv

    Not sure Pixar wants that many “likes” tossed into their dialogue.
