American Idol

is it just me or does Randy Travis look like the walking dead? Not to be rude of course. Carrie Underwood sounded great as always but looked ridiculous.

Did anyone believe for a second that the judges were really debating on if they were going to save Alexis or not? Ridiculous! I think the save will ONLY be used on their boy Danny if God forbid the public doesn't give him enough votes one week. It's almost pitiful to watch these contestants actually trying to give it one last shot in hopes of staying. But I give the judges credit this week they actually acted like they were discussing it this week unlike last week when hardly any debating was going on and Paula was dancing up a storm when she should have been acting like she was discussing the fates of Jasmine and Jorge. Oh well Allison...errr Alexis needed to go!

Not for one minute did I think they were going to save her and I think its shitty that Simon told her BEFORE she sang that she is the one they were thinking of saving. Uh yeah right.
The save will be for their pimped out star Adam or Allison whateverhernameis. Danny will not need a save. I am hoping that they don't use it on Scott McIntyre. While I think its great what he is doing and all, he is not the American Idol.

LOL @ "Danny will not need a save." Of course he won't NEED it, America is already brainwashed into voting for him! Good job American Idol!

I think you are confusing him with Adam...talk about a brainwashing! Although Danny is kind of reminding me a bit of Taylor Hicks...that cant be a good thing. Well at least we can agree on Matt Giraud. For our sake he better win this thing...lol.

Adam Whaaaambert...is more like it the guy looks like at sounds like he is crying instead of seeing on stage!!!

E, this is just for you!!!! Gotta love those guys from VFTW, I like their humor!

Well Here's One Idol Whose Album Cover Isn't Photoshopped

In a world full of Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson photoshopped album covers, at least we can rely on Ruben Studdard to appear on his album realistically. But for the record, Rube, you might want to keep yourself off your covers. Scaring people doesn't sell albums. Nothing against ya, big guy, but you know. Not a flattering image.

Smokey Robinson To Mentor Idol Top 10

Tonight American Idol goes Motown.

The top ten finalists will be singing classic tunes from Detriot's Motown era.

The show will even go on the road to the Motor City, where the legendary Smokey Robinson will mentor the aspiring chart-toppers.

Early favorites, based on experience with the genre, to cruise through this week's R&B fun house with flying colors include singers Anoop Desai, Lil Rounds and Danny Gokey. And it's anyone's guess as to how spitfire Adam Lambert will tackle rhythm and blues, but we're sure it will be entertaining nonetheless.

We'll find out soon enough, as American Idol airs on Fox tonight at 8/7c.

Why must they pick the oldest mentors to mentor these contestants in this day of age?

Jennifer Hudson To Make First Idol Appearance Post-Tragedy

Jennifer Hudson, the Oscar and Grammy winner whose career was launched by American Idol, is coming home.

The singer/actress will tape a performance of a song from her Grammy winning self-titled CD Wednesday for an upcoming segment to be shown later, the AP reported, citing "a person close to the show who did not want his or her name used because the person was not authorized to speak to reporters."

It is her first appearance on the program (Hudson was a finalist on the show's third season) since the murders of her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew last November in Chicago.

"She's coped internally. She's coped with her family," her label head, Clive Davis, told MTV news earlier this year. "I'm sure she's coped within her religion. I was there at the funeral. I think that she has... to dig down deep, because this has been an indescribable tragedy."

Idol Finalists Happy To Cash In On Summer Tour

Only one person can win American Idol, but making the top ten still has its perks: a spot on the show's lucrative summer tour.

"I didn't know my situation if I had to go back home without the tour... things are not easy right now," finalist Michael Sarver told the AP. "This says I have work this year. It's a blessing."

The tour, which usually encompasses 50-60 dates over the course of three months, begins following the show's May 20 finale.

Lil Rounds, the 24-year-old mother of three from Memphis, Tenn., said her children understand why she will be away from home for awhile, and are proud.

"I went from singing at a church in front of maybe 70 to 80 people to a national tour," she said. It's absolutely amazing."

Adam Lambert, favored by many to capture this year's top honors, said he was going to use his earnings from the tour to buy a condo. He said that, despite the rock star treatment touring with the lavish bus and throngs of screaming fans, he doesn't foresee asking roadies to remove the brown M&Ms (ala Van Halen) anytime soon.

"I only like to play the part of the diva when I'm actually performing, but I don't like to act like that otherwise," he said.

Matt Giraud - “Let’s Get it On” by - Marvin Gaye
Kris Allen - “How Sweet it Is” by - Marvin Gaye
Scott MacIntyre - ”You Can’t Hurry Love” by - Supremes
Megan Joy Corkrey - “For Once in My Life” by Stevie Wonder
Anoop Desai - “Ooh Baby Baby” by - Smokey Robinson and The Miracles
Michael Sarver - “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” by - Temptations
Lil Rounds - “Heatwave” by - Martha and the Vandellas
Adam Lambert - “Tracks of my Tears” by - Smokey and the Miracles
Danny Gokey - “Get Ready” by - Temptations
Allison Iraheta - “Papa was a Rolling Stone” by - Temptations

Ever time Scott sings he looks like he is performing under water...drowning in water trying to get air swallow swallow...

It was actually 1 of his better performances...asking im to challenge himself...they contradict themselves so much (the judges) when they(participants) challenge themselves they shoot them down...when they don't they say u didnt try hard...no winning

Megan shouldve sang a song like My Girl it would of totally fit her..but she is safe because of VFTW.com

Danny was a little bit screetchy..but he had a better performance than every1 else...CHose a lively song "Get Ready" after listening to all these damn lullabies...just give me a pacifier and im set....For once I disagreed with Simon...Danny worked the damn satge and even danced with the background singers!!!

MOTOWN WEEK!!!!!! YEAH!!! This is my kind of music...absolutely LOVE IT!!! But I guess I shouldnt get too excited as its probably going to get butchered on the show :affraid:
The real good thing about it being Motown week is that I can use THISSSSS.....
The other really good thing this week is that even though AI is once again competing with Survivor, Survivor is a "First 15 days" recap Way to milk it...sheesh.
So we all know that Alexis Grace was sent packing last week. YAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNN
What was sickening was NOT her leaving but the judges acting as though they MIGHT save her. Plus while she was singing, the 4 of them crowded around acting like they were discussing whether she should stay or not... Gimme a break. They were probably talking about where they were going for drinks afterwards...well we know for sure Paula was. :bubbly:
Smokey? Love you, love what you do and how you do it....but.....the hair needs work. k?

And we begin with.....

Matt Giraud singing "Lets get it on" Wow..good choice of song. Oh my Matt....YESSSS, Lets get it on !! I think this is an extremely difficult song to sing and he pulled it off!!! DAMN YOU KARA FOR STEALING MY LINE!!! STOP TALKING!! Good job Matt, love it, love you and you will go far!

Kris Allen sings "How sweet it is" I had kind of a "hurl" moment when I heard he was singing this....lets see how he does. It was ok, kind of boring for me...nothing special....Good Lord it looks like Paula is wearing a tutu. No doubt Paula will slobber all over him, hoping Simon keeps it real though.

Another commercial break of course. Each week that they lose someone, its just that much more time they have to kill with bullshit talk and more ads. These recaps just may be the death of me.. :scared to deat

Scott McIntyre sings "You can't hurry love" Look, I like this guy..I mean whats not to like but YIKES!!! Too bad Scott...this was a real mess, you flubbed the words, got rattled and never recovered. Bottom line is that even though this is a likable guy and he is a fan favorite, there are more talented people here.
well we have an moment. Paula and Simon are bickering, Paula says she has something for Simon and disappears under their little table. Ryan Seacrest, the smoothie, says Oh we can't show that on tv. Simon is grinning. Paula finally comes back up (maybe for air?) and has a box of crayons and some coloring books for Simon. AWKWARRRRRRRRDDDDDDDD!! (In my best Daniele Donato voice) I cant believe I am saying this but.....Thank God they went to commercial.

Megan Joy (hmmm she seems to have lost part of her name) sings "For once in my life" Well hard to believe but this is the first week that I am going to say that.....I ABSOLUTELY HATED THIS PERFORMANCE!!! WRONG SONG WRONG SONG WRONG SONG!! Did I mention this was the wrong song?? Come on Megan...where did you go??? Where is that girl that I thought was so great?? Please come back!!!! OMG they stole my line about "Megan come back"! But I agree, it might be too late for her to come back though. Kara actually said something semi-intelligent, well it made alot of sense. Why didnt Megan sing something like "My Guy" and she was right...it would have been perfect for her! Simon said that whoever is advising her should be fired :

Anoop Desai aka Noop Dawg sings "Ooh Baby Baby" hmmmmm this should be interesting. It was ok...nothing to write home about. A little boring but I like Noop Dawg and I dont think he is going anywhere this week. Nothing compared to last week but as Randy would say...it was a'ight

Michael Sarver sings "Ain't too proud to beg" Ok half way thru the song I am thinking that maybe Megan Joy has a chance to stay. It did nothing for me and I couldnt wait for it to be over. Once again we have a nice guy, with a nice voice who just is not the American Idol. OMGGGGGGGGGG THATS IT....SIMON STOLE MY LINE!!!! He also coudnt wait for it to be over. Get rid of Paula, get rid of Kara, get rid of Randy. Me and Simon FTW!!!!
Thanks though Michael, you just may have saved Megan!!!

Lil Rounds sings "Heatwave" - I didnt think it was a great performance. for her...good yes, great no. I mean everyone loves Lil but she should have ROCKED it this week and I think she dropped the ball a bit. She even sounded out of tune at some points in the song which for me was very surprising. Bottom line....LIL STAYS AND LIVES TO SING ANOTHER WEEK!!!!

In case you didnt know...ITS MOTOWN WEEK!!!

Adam Lambert sings "Tracks of my Tears" Wow I am confused right now....complete image change for Adam, he is really butch tonight!! So as far as the singing goes...its lightyears better than last week but I still dont get all the "ball licking" (stole that from VFTW... ) Simon said it was the best performance of the night....well seeing as how most of them have sucked up to this point, its not saying much. I also happen to think that Matt was better....no WAY BETTER than Adam tonight. Adam advances and will sing next week.

Danny Gokey sings "Get Ready" Oh Simon??? You spoke too soon....THAT was the best vocals of the night. The dancing was cheesy though...ease up Danny boy, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT follow in Taylor Hicks footsteps!!

And last and certainly least: (hey I'm trying to be objective)

Allison IraHellno sings "Papa was a rolling stone" I'm sorry, I simply cannot stand this girl or her voice. The judges will love her though. Yup, Randy called her dope again, blazing hot..yada yada yada... Once I barf, there really isnt much left to say.

So thats it....not a night filled with stellar performances thats for sure. I had high hopes for Motown week too !!! Anyway, my prediction is that Michael and Megan are the bottom 2. I dont know if they will have a bottom 3 but who really cares anyway? I think because a huge core of voters are teeny bopper teenage girls, Michael may be the safe one with Megan sent packing. I would like to see her stay because the competition gets that much more boring without her... Will the judges use the Golden power of Veto? Doubt it....will they ever use it...doubt it..lol.

I will be all over DialIdol though later and will post an update of how they are calling it.

Stevie Wonder will be on the show tomorrow night...nice!! I wont be around to see it though and will have to find out who gets voted out later tomorrow night. So there you have it, my take on AI this week!

Till next week....bye bye bitches!!

I couldn't wait to see Lorraine's review of the show and might I say boy do we disagree on some....!!

First 10 mins are bullshit
But Matt is up 1st with one of my fav songs Let's Get It On! hell yeah!

I agree with Simon with the brilliant song choice! Great performance! Go Matt!

Kris Allen sings How Sweet It Is... I think the song is kind of hokey but I think he sings it well. Personally I prefer when they sing more modern of their choice to better gauge if they could actually have a career past Idol. Obviously with Ruben and Taylor winning Idol doesn't always guarantee you having success as an artist.

Scott - pink jeans? Who the hell is dressing this kid! They're punking him, I love it! I was starting to question is blindness the past couple of weeks and then tonight before I found out he didn't choose the pink pants I was thinking oh I guess he really is blind isn't he. Anyway, he sings You Can't Hurry Love
CORNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't take it my ears were bleeding! Hated it and Paula is out of control tonight, she needs a man badly!

Megan - OH WOW! What a disaster! Nothing worked! She looked good from the chin up. The dress, the necklace the awkward moves... and she finally moved around on stage but it was just awkward and a bit creepy. If a guy moved like that I would think total creeper! Anyways she's gotta go! I can't take it anymore!

Anoop - Ooooooh Baby Baby! Good song choice! He sounded great, very smooth! I was really impressed with his performace.

Michael Sarver - Ain't Too Proud To Beg .... ummm... it was bad, really bad. Buh-bye!

Lil Rounds - Heat Wave...yawn! Can't stand this song, it's so played out. I agree with Kara in the sense this was her genre of music just like Country was Michael's last week and they both sucked at their own genre's. WTF! I can't stand when they try and sugar coat it for the one's they like and slaughter the one's that aren't the chosen ones. Whatever! Next!

Glambert - Tracks of My Tears ... NAILED IT! LOVED IT! Adam is a performer - plain and simple. Undeniable! He is definitely in a league of his own and he deserves to have the career after idol out of any of them for sure.

Danny The Chosen One Gokey - Get Ready .... Danny Gokey questions if Smokey knows what he's talking about? haha the nerve gee ya think he may have a clue? duh!
He's overrated, I just don't get his hype. His performance was mediocre at best.

Allison - Papa Was A Rolling Stone ... She seems more seasoned than the adults, she was good but will it keep her out of the bottom 3 we'll see....


Bottom 3 should be Scott, Megan and Sarver ... and I predict Sarver is out!

EARLY RETURNS FROM DIAL IDOL!!

Well with the phone lines open for nearly 90 minutes our front runners are (in order)
Adam, Danny and Allison. (oh God) What can you expect from all the ball licking and ass kissing going on tonight. Adam is catipulted into first and Allison jumps from bottom 3 to top 3. Anyone who tells me that the voting public isnt swayed by what the judges say is full of it!!!! Where the fuck is Matt??? oh yeah, he's 5th

Bottom 3 are Megan, Scott and Michael last. I think this bottom 3 is correct. By far the 3 worst performances of the night.

Gee nobody saw that one coming tonight!

I love how the judges acted like they were still debating whether or not they should keep Sarver even after he sang... real good acting!

Sarver !

E, you are really pissing me off because you arent sharing those emoticons....especially the Loser one in the octomom thread...lol

'American Idol' Top 9 Live Blog: iTunes Top Downloads take the stage
by John Gonzalez | The Grand Rapids Press
Tuesday March 31, 2009, 12:29 PM


After last week's shocking "American Idol" results show, is there any chance Kalamazoo's Matt Giraud will find himself in the Bottom 2 again?We're back with our "American Idol" Live Blog, so join us tonight as we find out what songs the Top 9 chose from a list of the top songs downloaded on iTunes. Although advance information from the producers of "American Idol" is a little sketchy, bloggers everywhere are speculating tonight's show (8-9:25 p.m., Fox-TV) will focus on some aspect of iTunes and No. 1 songs.

And we'll be back with our Live Blog: Editors from the Grand Rapids Press and the Kalamazoo Gazette host an interactive chat where you can ask questions or make observations. Check out a recap of last week's Live Blog results show: We were stunned that Kalamazoo's Matt Giraud was in the Bottom 2. Yikes! Will that happen again?


Open live blog in new window


Judge Paula Abdul said on "The Tommy & Brook" radio show in Grand Rapids, that the judges were prepared to use their "judges save" card if he would have been chosen.

In other "Idol" news, last week's ousted singer Michael Sarver says he's done with the oil rigs and will focus on his recording career.

"There is something that America does not know about me," he told reporters last week. "I am a serious writer. I have written over 890 songs since the age of 14. There are a lot of stories, a lot of life, a hard-lived life and a good-lived life, and I'm going to share it."

Good luck to Michael.

As for this week's featured guests, "American Idol" producers have announced last year's "Idol" champ David Cook and dance club sensation Lady Gaga will perform on the results show Wednesday night. Cook will perform his new single "Come Back to Me," and Lady Gaga will sing her hit "Poker Face."

Oh, and be prepared to check out the variety show "Osbournes: Reloaded," which airs at 9:25 p.m. tonight, immediately after the family-friendly "Idol" show. Anyone know the record number of "bleeps" on a primetime TV show? One Florida station has already refused to air it.

Idol's Danny Gokey Goes Home for Grandfather's Funeral

American Idol hopeful Danny Gokey -- whose wife died less than a year ago -- is now mourning the death of another family member.

The church music director, 28, returned home to Wisconsin over the weekend to attend his grandfather's funeral, according to the Web site, everydaychristian.com. He also attended services at his Milwaukee church, Faith Builders International Ministries, before going to the funeral on Sunday.
He is now back in Los Angeles, where he will performed on tonight's Idol.

Four weeks before his Idol audition, Gokey's wife Sophia died during surgery for a congenital heart defect.

He has made several references to his late wife on the show, but has insisted he is not trying to win over fans with his sob story.

"I apologize to everybody if they feel like it's shoved in the faces," he told Usmagazine.com.

Idol: Corkrey, MacIntrye Behind The Eight Ball

And then there were nine.

Motown Week is behind us, leaving oil roughneck Michael Sarver in its wake. So whose next?

A prominent online casino (Sportbook.com) predicts that either Megan Joy Corkrey (75-to-1 to win the competition) or Scott MacIntyre (50-to-1) will be singing their swan song before the week is through.

The sentiments about the pair, per judges and critics, is that they have been thoroughly out-shined by opponents such as Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey and Anoop Desai.

"I think it's past time for Scott to go," Newsday blogger Jamshid Mousavinezhad wrote of the 23-year-old blind pianist. "He's a nice guy and all that, but is now out of his league vocally and is annoying me with his promises every week to break out next week.

Corkrey didn't fare much better, as TV Guide said that her "quirky charm seems to be wearing off... after what [judge] Randy [Jackson] called a "train wreck" performance of For Once in My Life, she's tied for dead last in our poll."

The remaining nine contestants perform tonight on American Idol at 8/7c on FOX. The results show airs Wednesday at 9/8c

Well, I was an hour into the show when my computer decided to close internet explorer on me and "poof" everything I wrote was gone. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Damn it. I will try to rewrite it but it wont be as detailed. Top downloaded Itunes songs is the theme so basically this is anything goes.

1. Anoop Desai aka Noop Dawg sings an Usher song. ewwwwwwwww Anoop went Hollywood. It doesnt work for him and all the ugly faces and stupid motions he is making sucks. He can call him self Noop Dawg but he is really Anoop. Judges are blasting him a bit and Anoop is coming off cocky....uhhh get off the stage, you arent going anywhere....or is he? I didnt like it at all

2. Megan Joy (did anyone find her last name?) Good Lord she is going to sing BOB MARLEY???? WHY WHY WHY????? This cant be good for her. Well she may have sung her last song for American Idol. She absolutely always picks the wrong song and never sings anything that utilizes her voice. Ok lets forget about Megans performance. While Kara was talking some guy yelled out from the audience "BROKEN RECORD" YOU SIR, hit the nail right on the head!!! So then when she contined to talk, the audience started to boo her and she responds with the ever classy "You come up and try to do it then" Uhhhh good come back Kara . Somewhere in some board room, AI execs are sitting around and pointing the finger at eachother and trying to figure out just who thought it was a good idea to hire her as the 4th judge! As for Megan, she is in serious trouble. Too bad Megan although I thought of something strange, I havent liked anything she has sung since she dropped her last name....coincidence?

3. Danny Gokey sings some Rascal Flatts song-No mention of his Grandfathers death..poor guy Glad it wasnt mentioned. Really good vocals for him and the fans love him. The judges loved him and hes a shoe in to be safe.

4. Allison Irahellno- OMG THERES A DEAD CAT ON HER HEAD!! Ok so its not a dead cat but it looks like something died up in there She looks like the bride of Frankenstein fell into a vat of fuschia dye. Grrr she is singing a song that I really like..."Dont speak by No Doubt". YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I can honestly say with NO BIAS......SHE SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!! LOL @ Randy "Dude, what are you wearing"? Of course Simon kept it real...thank you for that.

5 Scott McIntyre is going to sing Billy Joel. You know at least this guy knows what he is good at and sticks with it. Sitting at the piano and singing a Billy Joel ballad is smart. Its good but kind of boring. I had to LOL, when he first he came on I didnt look at the TV right away because I was typing and then I noticed the hair and clothing change.....YOU REBEL SCOTT!! Bless your heart, you wont be the American Idol but...I like you and so do the fans . Some ball licking by the judges could save Scott from bottom 3.

6. Matt Giraud-Sorry, I forgot what he sang but I do know that for me this was his worst performance. He sounded out of tune and it was really boring. I expect better from you Matt. Simon told him you should be happy that we dont like you this week. LOL I guess he's right, maybe Matt will get some votes to save him. He shouldnt have been in the bottom 3 last week nor should he be this week but AI fans are funny...anything can happen

7 Lil Rounds sings something boring...was it Celine Dion? I am not sure what happened to this girl. There is just no spark with her anymore. Come on girl....BRING IT!! I like her but I liked her more before.

8. Adam Lambert sings ""Play that funky music" what can I say, I am in the minority I guess. I thought it was ridiculously horrible and he screeched and screamed and he looked like an ass singing and when he is screeching his tongue comes out of his mouth and it looks disgusting........and they loved it . Right before commercial break, some guy with a mop and bucket came out to mop up all the drool from the ass kissing the judges did. Need I even mention that he will not be in the bottom 3?

9 Kris Allen-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....oh sorry, is he done yet? He is just so boring and picks the most boring songs to sing. Vocals were good but it was like eating a big turkey dinner, after hearing it you are ready for a nap that is if you dont fall asleep during it.


Ok bottom 3...Megan for certain and then its kind of tricky. Scott may have saved himself and the judges certainly helped his cause. Lil? could be. Anoop...should be. Matt? Hope not. But here is to hoping that Allison Irahellno is in the bottom. Honestly, at this point the only singers I call definitely safe are Danny and Adam. I think Megan leaves but at this point...who really cares?


As usual, I will be back later with my Dial Idol update. They have been really on target! Soooooooo until next week.....


Bye Bye Bitches!!

'American Idol': Next week's theme is 'Songs From the Year You Were Born'


In a radio interview this morning with Phoenix station KISS, American Idol judge Paula Abdul revealed that next week's performance-night theme will be Songs From the Year You Were Born. That means we'll hear songs ranging from 1980 (Danny Gokey) to 1992 (Allison Iraheta), with a whole bunch of tunes from the 1984-86 period, when six of the nine remaining finalists were hatched.

Interesting....I like 80's music.

No comment about last night's show? lol

Megan was a complete idiot to make an ass of herself like that. Did going out in a blaze of glory with a shitload of class be so wrong?! Allison needs to get a clue not to cling on to s sinking ship, hopefully her family can clue her into that since she is young and dumb.

I loved Simon just dismissing Megan... kind of sad how she chose to leave. But oh well bye

unfortunately, I was working last night and couldnt really pay attention to the show (not that I wanted to) I knew she was out so there was no suspense to the outcome. Pimped ones stay...disgraced ones go...its that simple. It makes for riveting television....YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

apparently Kara was not too pleased with Megan's bro. Kind of thin skinned on her part I think, I'm sure she has heard worse and will probably hear much worse in her lifetime. I hope this starts a trend..lol.
Instead of chastising her, Simon should have let her dig her own grave. I doubt that even one person would miss her if she did not return next season.

Megan Joy's brother was Kara DioGuardi's 'American Idol' heckler


Megan Joy's brother was the person who shouted "Broken record!" at the American Idol judge as she was giving her comments to Joy during Tuesday night's live episode, Us Weekly reported Wednesday.

The incident began following Joy's rendition of Bob Marley's "Turn Your Lights Down Low."
"Megan, I really like you but I think you're in trouble. Here's the thing, it's just not the song choice for you, Bob Marley. I wanna hear Adele's 'Chasing Pavements'..." said DioGuardi before Joy's brother yelled "broken record" from the audience.

"What did he say?" asked DioGuardi before both Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson informed her what he had said.

"Well, let me not be a broken record and say 'Chasing Pavement,' Adele, that part of your register was even getting irritating for the first time. There was no falsetto. You have a beautiful falsetto and you never use it," continued DioGuardi, who was this time met by a chorus of boos.

"Alright, you get up here and do it then!" yelled DioGuardi in response, which prompted a quick quip from Cowell.

"Don't fall out with our audience," he told her.

After Paula Abdul gave her own comments, Cowell took it upon himself to defend DioGuardi's earlier comments.

"The problem was is that the song was boring. It was indulgent, it was monotonous and all the things we all liked about you are disappearing," he said. "You are actually becoming indulgent, and nobody's gonna like that song and I agree with Kara. It just wasn't you, and it is all about song choice . It was just so boring."

Jackson agreed with Cowell and DioGuardi, likening Joy's performance to "watching paint dry."

However the 23-year-old divorced mother from Utah -- who began Idol's eighth season as Megan Corkrey and then switched to Megan Joy Corkrey before settling on Megan Joy, her middle name, in recent weeks -- defended her song selection after the judges' comments.

"I think that the audience was feeling it and I think that my fans were feeling it," she told Idol host Ryan Seacrest, who asked if she understood the judges' criticism.

"I understand what they're saying and I fully intend on bringing what they have envisioned because I can understand that now," she replied. "But I liked my song."

"You've been saying that every week," said Cowell, taking a not-so-subtle jab at the "broken record" comment Joy's brother had hurled at DioGuardi.

However the incident apparently didn't end there, as Us reported DioGuardi decided to confront Joy's brother during the commercial break.

At first, DioGuardi thought Joy's brother was yelling "broken record" at his sister, according to Us, however he subsequently clarified that the comment was instead meant for the Idol judge.

"I am [a broken record]? Why?" asked DioGuardi, according to Us.

Joy's brother responded by telling DioGuardi that "packaged artist" could be her "packaged phrase," according to Us, which reported DioGuardi then "stormed off with her bodyguards."

However the rookie Idol judge apparently wasn't satisfied, as Us reported she decided to confront Joy's brother again during the next commercial break.

"Can you believe what he said to me?" DioGuardi reportedly asked the people sitting around Joy's brother.
