"I don't want to work with her again, but I'll still listen to her music, I’ll still dance around," she said, before launching into the chorus of Lauper's breakout hit Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
As for rocker Bret Michaels, who was the eventual winner of the competition, she said "he was the nicest person on the show" and a down-to-earth man of the people.
