'Idol': Megan's last stand?
Get ready for the montage of Megan Joy's "journey" to the Top 10 of "American Idol."

Joy (the 23-year-old from Sandy, Utah) fired up a rendition of Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life" during Motown night on Wednesday night's "Idol" episode - and the judges' appraisal was particularly harsh.

Randy Jackson called it "a trainwreck." Kara DioGuardi said she should have sung another song. Simon Cowell said it was "atrocious" and that Joy was "in trouble."

Paula Abdul tried to compliment Joy's looks: ''Your stunning beauty takes my breath away.'' This prompted Cowell to mutter, "It's not 'Top Model.' ''

Joy's only hope is that the voting public - "my fans," to whom she gave a somewhat desperate shout-out - knock either Michael Sarver (who bulled through "Ain't Too Proud to Beg") or Scott MacIntyre (who did his piano-man thing to "You Can't Hurry Love") first.

i really wish the other judges (all the ones besides Simon) would think up some new generic observations before the next show
