Former American Idol contestant, Megan Joy, will appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday’s April 13 Ellen show and says she “wouldn’t take back” her insult comment to Idol judge Simon Cowell.

Things got pretty heated between Megan Joy and Simon Cowell following Megan’s performance of Bob Marley’s “Turn The Lights Down Low”, with Simon Cowell calling her performance “indulgent, boring and monotonous”. Ouch! That had to hurt! On Wednesday’s American Idol Top Downloads Results Show, Ryan Seacrest asked Megan what she thought of Simon’s comments, Megan said, “I love you Simon, but I really don’t care”.

Widely viewed as an insult, US Magazine reports that Megan Joy had no idea that her comment would be upsetting to Simon. “I really had no idea that it was going to upset him, but I meant it and I wouldn’t take it back,” says 23-year-old Megan.

After being voted off American Idol on Wednesday’s Results Show, it was clear that the Idol judges were not going to use their one and only save on Megan Joy. Not a chance in a million.
