'Idol': Ruining reggae
Oh, for the love of all that's holy - Bob Marley?!?

On a week when the nine remaining "American Idol" contestants could choose pretty much any song they wanted (under the vague corporate-happy umbrella of top iTunes downloads), Sandy, Utah, singer Megan Joy - the perky blonde with the smoky jazz voice - picked Marley's "Turn Your Lights Down Low" and bombed with the judges.

"It was like watching paint dry," declared Randy Jackson. "Boring, indulgent and monotonous," said Simon Cowell. Kara DioGuardi said Joy was in trouble.

Expect Joy standing at center stage tonight, awaiting the bad news from Ryan Seacrest. My picks for joining Joy in the Bottom 3: Scott MacIntyre, for his screechy rendition of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are"; and Anoop Desai, who gave a funk-free version of Usher's "Caught Up."
