Despite telling Simon Cowell that she didn’t care if he liked her performance, American Idol’s most recently ousted contestant Megan Joy swears she did care about the competition. The 23 year old divorced, tattooed, gorgeous mom from Utah woke up on Wednesday and knew she was going home. In a media conference call on Thursday, Megan dished about her experience on the mega-hit show and why she acted the way she did during the results hour.

“No regrets ever. I wouldn’t take anything back. I was happy to go the way I did,” Joy told reporters. “I just was honest. I cared about the competition. I didn’t want people to misunderstand me not caring, I just didn’t care that Simon didn’t like my song. I couldn’t help but be honest”…”I think his opinion of me changed a little bit,” Joy said. “I mean, he was pretty hard on me. I think that he likes me, maybe just as much as he did, but maybe just not for this competition. But I got no beef with Simon and I don’t think he really has any for me.”

Following her elimination, Joy said that she was sad to be going home but was easily able to take solace in seeing her two-year-old son for the first time in weeks.

“I’m gonna hold him as long as he’ll let me, and try not to sob like a lunatic because I’m sure he’ll just be confused and scared. It’s gonna be beautiful,” Joy told reporters of her upcoming reunion with her son, which she said was currently scheduled to take place when she finally returned home on Wednesday. “I can’t wait.

I really liked Megan early in the competition- she was different, unique, and relevant. But the way she acted Wednesday night was just plain annoying. Go out with class like Michael Sarver, not like an idiot. Hopefully she will grow up, learn, and not repeat past mistakes. She won’t make it in the business acting like a diva before she has any success, I promise.
