'American Idol' Castoff Amanda Overmyer Brushes Off Vote For The Worst Support: 'Votes Are Votes

Rocker also admits to being 'standoffish,' but says she 'had no problem fitting in.'

There have been quite a few so-called "rocker chicks" on "American Idol" in the past (Gina Glocksen and Nikki McKibbin, to name a couple), but none embodied the essence of rock and roll quite like recent castoff Amanda Overmyer.

The 23-year-old nurse from Mulberry, Indiana, seemed to come from a different era — naming Janis Joplin, CCR and Bob Seger as her musical influences — and that classic-rock style didn't quite connect with young "Idol" fans when Overmyer roughed up the Beatles' "Back in the U.S.S.R." on Tuesday night.

We caught up with Amanda to talk about her Vote for the Worst backers, why she didn't get smiley for the judges and how she knew she was going home.
