Megan Joy sang “Walkin’ After Midnight” on Live! With Regis and Kelly and I was really glad that she sang that instead of “Turn Your Lights Down Low.” Anyway, I loved her natural look even though I’m not sure it was a better performance of the song than on Idol.

I don’t know whether I liked the fact that Megan Joy chose to sing “Rockin’ Robin” but she did show a different side of her personality which I did like.

He then turned around and asked what Chef Gordon Ramsay, who was… More »
