Megan Corkrey: Her Fairy Tale Castle tattoo and Bjork
In her post-Wild Card Show interview, Megan Corkrey talks about her musical influences, her fear she wouldn't make it out of American Idol's first round and her plethora of tattoos.A lot of people remark on the way that you dance, it's very interesting and unique. Can you tell us about that?
I really don't know why that happens. When I start singing I just flop around, it just happens. I don't know!
What are your musical influences?
My number one influence is Bjork. I started listening to her when I was 16. Her music is so beautiful and original and different and emotional. I just love it.
Can you tell us about your tattoo?
It's a castle and there's a sky above it. There is a fairy godmother (my mom), a wizard (my brother) and a prince (my son). I told the artist what I wanted and he drew it up. I'm very blessed and I love my family, so that's my tattoo.
How many tattoos do you actually have in total?
I have 7 if you count my sleeve as one.
What are they and how long did it take your sleeve to complete?
My sleeve isn't complete. It's a castle in my fairy tale. I have my son's name on my wrist and I have two stars on my back for me and my mom. I have my middle name, Joy, on my hip and I have just a jumble of things I love on both my feet.
When you auditioned, did you ever think you would have this?
No way. I never even had a solo in high school choir, I didn't think I'd make it out of the first round.
Utah has always been a very closed place and here you come with this very open, great personality. Can you talk about that?
Utah is a very friendly place, a great place to raise a family.
Do you play any instruments?
I don't, sadly.
Do you plan to learn any in this experience?
I would love to learn the piano or the guitar, so if anybody wants to teach me, I'm ready!
What music theme would scare you?
I'm not really scared but I'm a little unsure with Country Week because I don't listen to a lot of country.
You think you could pull it off?
Yeah, I'm gonna do it. I'll tear it up.
Closing remarks?
Just thank you!

You da bomb...love to see you tackle an Amy Winehouse tune...maybe "Trouble". Your little dance is too cute for words. Good Luck, and if you don't win, oh well, it might not be the worst thing. I think your better than the show, on the whole. Just make an album...
Megan could totally tackle and conquer some Amy Winehouse in the form of "You Know I'm No Good," or some Nelly Furtado in the form of "Maneater" or "Say It Right"
Great potential. My favorite. Megan is beyond Idol.
oh my goodness she's amazing! i think she could definitely rock some regina spektor! that'd be perfect.
I would like to hear Megan sing "I'm weak in the knees" by Serena Ryder. Perhaps "I will make you a believer" by S*** Jordan.
Megan rocks. She was the the only contestant i was sad to see go, and the only one i cared about getting back on with a wild card. I hope she rocks it and sticks around - and her style is damn fabulous, too.
Would you please wear something other than sleeveless outfits?? We're sick of looking at your ugly tattoos.
Ur fantastic, doing that rockin robin you bought ur own flavor to the song, i think a lil duffy would suit you, go hard girl.
Are you serious down at the bottom about her tattoos?? I love her tattoos!!! If you don't want to look at her tattoos then turn off your TV!!!
