American Idol April Fool's Day Results: Bird Girl Megan Joy Flies Home

I've never understood why tattooed, bird girl Megan Joy made it so far on this year's American Idol. Her stage movements while singing made Shania Twain look graceful.

Last night she finally flew the coop. Literally.

Megan was the first put in the bottom 3. Anoop and Allison soon joined Megan, with Allison quickly sent back to safety.

When Ryan Seacrest sent Megan to the bottom 3 stools she squawked like a bird and flailed her arms as if trying to take flight on her way to the stool.

But, before she did that Seacrest repeated Simon's critique of the night before, to which Megan said something like, "I love you Simon, but I really don't care what you think." Paula had to repeat it for the hard of hearing, semi-elderly Simon Cowell.

When Ryan told Megan that it would be she who would be flying home, he asked Simon if the judges would consider saving her after she sang for a possible commutation of her death sentence. Simon said something like, "No, we really don't care."

Now, what I found interesting last night was to learn that Megan knows she is referred to as "Bird Girl," due to the odd way she flops her arms around while she is singing. She may be referred to elsewhere as "Bird Girl," but the only place I've seen that reference is in that esteemed repository of snark known as Survivor Sucks.

If that is the case, this would indicate that the contestants are given access to the Internet and are able to read what is written about them. This would seem to indicate that, in addition to Megan knowing she is called "Bird Girl," Danny Gokey must then know he is called "Wife Killer." And Adam Lambert is referred to as "Madam Lambert."

And yet somehow they manage to hold their heads high and continue on....
