by Mischalova at .Before he became a popular American Idol contestant this season, Michael Lee Johns was the lead singer of The Rising. Here's a music video from that band for a song titled "Cradle."

Michael Lee Johns is also known simply as Michael Johns. It's confusing, we know. Fellow contestant Carly Smithson also used to be known as Carly Hennessy.
Got all that? There will be a quiz later.

WHOA!! Pretty darn sexy Michael Johns!
all i know is that he has a great voice, good personality, handsome and talented.. I love you michael!!
I am older than all of you and I love Michael Johns because he has that classic rock quality. The first song I saw him do, "Fire" by the Doors--he definetely channeled Jim Morison. Sweet & sexy, with that VOICE, I hope he goes far. He was in a class all his own on AI
I didn't realize that the '08 AI contestants have had their names out there in the biz already, but so what. I've never heard of any of them before the show, so to me and hopefully most people, they are still undiscovered. I did wonder, and now know, why this year's contestants are so much better than the ones in the past. My opinion, the better the singers, the better the show.
