An American Idol Shocker: Michael Johns Eliminated!
by Mischalova at .We didn't see this coming.
In one of the most shocking eliminations in the show's history, Michael Johns was sent home on American Idol tonight. He was joined in the bottom three by Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson.
Everyone assumed Syesha was headed home, but when Ryan Seacrest closed the show by saying she and Carly were safe, shocked silence filled the arena.
Did you think Michael Johns deserved to go home after his rendition of Dream On?
While Chris Daughtry is still the most surprising, and undeserved, American Idol elimination of all-time, Johns isn't too far behind.
Where would you rank this in terms of shock value in the show's history? Did you see it coming?

That was such bull crap, Michael Johns is at least 10 times better than most of the idols, i hope so bad that we can hear more of him, HE'S THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe that the singer with the best vocals was eliminated...He was the reason to watch A.I... I won't watch AI anymore.. Please come back Michael Johns...
I did not see Michael Johns elimination show. And why?? Beacause last year they received the week off because of the American Idol Gives Back episode and I did not even realize that the voting would count anyway. They were all given a reprieve last year because they worked the phones! How many other voters thought the same? By default, Johns should be invited back to compete again. He NEVER should have been voted off in the first place. He has been consistently wonderful from day ONE.
WEll, I'm thru with AI and Ryan seacrest
this was totally unexpected,till now i still dont believe this. michael johns is still one of the best& i wish him success.
