That's what got her the Vote for the Worst endorsement, so every week she wore a bird on her outfit or hair as a shout out to Vote For The Worst. (Every week except for the week she went home -- she probably got yelled at by the producers just like Sligh did when he said, "Hi, Dave!" on the show). So on her last night, she flaunted it. Good 4 her.

I think Megan went out in a blaze of glory. Good for her! She not only showed that she was in on the joke, but she also showed that she realizes that the whole competition was a bit vapid compared to the quality time she could have been spending with her kid. So she got her 15 minutes of fame, she's going to make boatloads of cash this summer on the AI tour, and now she can go back home where she belongs. Life is good for Megan.

Matt's so boring even he forgot he was on the show.

I'll miss Megan, since I am a Worster.

I'm still not feeling this year. Adam is good, but it's getting tired. I'm sure he could hit the high noted, without adding his screech to it. And Danny? If he shouts a song one more time, while the judges ooze for him, I might puke.

I get this, but I also think that she was a teensy bit arrogant when referring to her "fans". Also, she is the one who chose to be on this show and I think her tune would change drastically had she won. I think the show itself it bullsh*t but I do think that it is a vehicle to help talented kids get really really famous. Megan has a cool voice and she certainly is beautiful, but her song choices did nothing to show off her talent. And while Simon definitely can be an ass, Megan didn't seem capable of accepting criticism from any of the judges.

Same here- I watch while doing other things. I missed Matt's (and actually had to google him because I couldn't figure out which one he was) lip synch faux pas- but I definitely caught Scott's-lol. I just find it interesting that I'm noticing the lip synch business now, after watching this show for so long.

Oh god, I *know*.

The fact that he wasn't singing into the mic? Yeah, that was pretty funny.

Granted, I haven't been watching this season because in my opinion I don't see any standouts.

But if they're going to be singing FM one week then that will be the week I tune in!!

Not confirmed yet, just rumour at this point. Next week is songs from the year they were born. isn't Mac back on tour after next week? Hmmmm...

I can't believe Alison was in the bottom 3.

I know. Anoop, not so much. But Allison? I don't get it.

I was surprised about Alison, too.

I wonder why I've never noticed the lip synch thing before.

I think they just started lip synching the group numbers this season, but I could be wrong. Thought I read that somewhere. If not, then these contestants are just particularly bad at it so it's the first time I noticed.

Yeah, she's a hippie chick, she doesn't fit the mold of "pop star" and she knows it. She's weird & cool & awkward & original, and trying to do an act isn't going to work for her. I definitely got the feeling that at this point she just wanted to go home to her kid.

I'm not eaither. Not rooting for anyone in particlaur like I usually do. I love Allison, but "rocker" chicks never stand a chance.

The "fans" she was referring to are us Worsters.

I think Lil is overrated. I don't think she's that good. She's bland and choses the worst songs. No one could ever compare to Kelly's version of "I Surrender" in Season One...and Kelly was hoarse! Lil should be in the bottom three, not Allison.

Richard B · #**265** 04-02-2009, 11:44 AM

Wow. This show just gets worse and worse. Soon it will move from Fox to Nickelodeon.
Now that Megan's gone, no need for me to watch this travesty. I'm gonna miss her rack.

Richard B · #**266** 04-02-2009, 11:45 AM

Oh and Lady GaGa was pretty weird. I think I really liked it. Pretty cool performance art.
Never heard or seen her before. I woke up and had to re-watch the performance again.

GoldDustOrphan · #**267** 04-02-2009, 02:45 PM

I'm not at all impressed with Lil Rounds and hope she goes next.
It's still funny to watch Anoop try to be sexy and I'm counting on Scott to forget - again - to lipsynch his part of the group song. Alison and Adam are my favorites.
