American Idol's Megan and the name game

Megan has a style that is unique, and is in the category of many singers who may not have "perfect" voices or technique, but is special because she is different, and not trying to fit into a mold. Her quirky dance is on purpose..she is moving in a way that is meant to again be unique and fun, and not trying to be the usual slinky sex goddess or rock and roll queen so popular in these times. She has a lot of appeal and I find her entertaining to watch, and her voice would be recognizable anywhere...

OK MEGAN FANS, NOT ABOUT LOOKS OR DANCING, IT'S ABOUT SINGING AND SHE CAN'T. NOT ONLY MY OPINION, BUT FROM THE JUDGES WHO ARE THE PROFESSIONALS. HER COMMENTS ABOUT THE FACT THAT NO MATTER HOW BAD SHE SINGS HER FANS WILL VOTE FOR HER ANY WAY, ARE DISCUSTING. THIS IS A SINGING COMPETION SHE NEEDS TO GET OVER HERSELF.

I think that the viewers/voters want to keep Megan in to keep the girls to guys ratio even when it winds down to 6 contestants left. There are more guys than girls this time, but I don't think that Megan can survive another week if she keeps doing mediocre performances like the last few weeks. She has an Amy Winehouse/Lily Allen style with her singing. but I'm just not feeling it!

I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but the reason there are always surprises at the bottom end of the results is because those are the people who got the fewest #1 votes (not the most #10 votes). Megan was the only choice available for those who prefer perky blonde chicks. The three guys who were at the bottom were in a 3-way battle for the votes of those who like overweight male crooners with limited charisma so they all were in the bottom three.

I think Megan has shown glimmers of what is a different, but talented sound (I Go Walkin' After Midnight).

The problem is, her sound is not Main Street Pop. There's no way it can succeed.

Having said that, she's no Sanjaya. She is a gifted performer; she just fits only into a limited niche.

Megan is my favorite other than Adam. She is interesting and yes, quirky. But that's what makes her fun to watch and I love her voice. It's different and fresh. All the others are very talented but boring. I would buy her cd today.

I dont hate Megan either, but I still think she has hung around longer than the quality of her performances warrent. Alexis was much better and so was Jorge. If people want to vote for her because she is attractive, that's their business, as for myself, I dont particularly enjoy watching pretty people sing and perform poorly.
While you have to admire Megan for having the guts to go out there on a stage as big as American Idol and sing with no previous experience, at the same time, it doesnt appear to me that she puts much thought or effort into her songs. If she does,it certainly doesnt show. And by effort, I dont mean she should go out there and gyrate and flail around, like Taylor Hicks. Just that her performances are so lifeless and lacking in energy and that she doesnt seem to really know how she wants to sing her songs, so it comes out lackadaisical.

People are only shocked by Megan's survival because they underestimate her appeal. Once she's gone, this season turns into snooze city outside of the two minutes per week Adam is on stage acting weird.

I don't hate Megan. I just think she it totally without talent. Two weeks in a row she stood up there and looked like a parady on some sitcom. I was embarassed for her and then she was not in the bottom three. The only one who belonged there was Michael. I love him but he is not up to the talent of the others. Adam blows them all out of the water. I think Paula said, he is in a league above the rest. And that's an understatement.
