I don't know what performance you all were listening to... but his version of Dream On really was NOT very good. If you are going to imitate the original and just make yourself the lead singer in a cover band than you should be darn sure you can cover ALL the notes. The falsetto on the refrain was just soooo off that it was embarrassing. Check your TIVO boys a girls. Not to mention the silly piece of cloth wrapped around his neck. Guess he was just getting ready for his Tiger Beat photos. You can tell by the phrasing of all the songs he did that he has a more bluesey lean to his still rather than a Rocker. So if you're only as good as your last performance, then it was his time to go.

Clipman, download the full version on itunes and then come back to us.
This is about injustice. Kicking him when he's down? What did he do to deserve that? He's a good guy. They nicknamed him Papa Johns because he's a friend and supporter to all the other contestants. He didn't deserve what Ryan did to him. Leaving aside his ascot and one performance you didn't like, can you name any other contestant who is more consistant?

What are we left with? Seven very boring contestants. Very boring. Michael was the excitement, the charisma, the pizazz, the sexuality, the sensuality, the stage presence, the life of the party, the really really COOL GUY.
What are we left with now?

Jesus Christ!!! How can the audience aliminate Michael Johns and Cristie Lee Cook keep going? This is reidiculous... No more American Idol 7 for me...

Whoever is saying he is not an american, just because he was born in Australia ???
Give me a break, he has been here for years. Have a heart like true "Americans" do.

I love to watch AI but the voting system should really change. It should be like dancing with the stars where the judges votes counts for half, otherwise AI will definitly loose alot of ratings. If the contestant does not have alot of friends, or a community that watches AI he will loose becasue of that. THAT'S REALLY STUPID. WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING A REALLY GOOD SINGER LIKE MJ AND HAVE NO CHANGE OF WINNING

Oh, come on! Michael Johns was overrated! Yes he had great stage presence, but as a vocalist, he was not a song's best friend. His vocals were always forced and overdone and lacking control at times...much like Carly's. Michael Johns over-sang every song from the beginning. He is a "singer", but not a true vocalist...in other words he sings the words, but does not connect with the lyrics.

Either America has no taste in music, or the results were deliberately skewed. Take note of the people who said they tried all night to vote for Michael Johns and couldn't get through. No way he ould have been legitimately eliminated. Without him in the top two or three there will be absolutely no excitement in the finals. Email fox and demand they do something radical and bring MJ back next week -- let them know your viewership depends on it and they might just take note.

AMEN TERI! I'm doing it now. Everybody do it. For Mike.
April 11th, 2008 9:10 AM
How can Kristi Lee be safe and Michael Johns out????????? One thing's for sure, I won't watch AI regularly anymore like in the past years.. Rock on MJ!
April 11th, 2008 9:14 AM
This should have been the sequence:
8 - Kristi Lee
7 - Brooke
6 - Jason
5 - Syesha
4 - Carly
Top 3 (could be any of the 3) David C, David A, Michael Johns!)
April 11th, 2008 9:16 AM
MICHAEL JOHNS IS GONE AND KRISTY LEE COOK IS STILL STANDING AROUND SHOWING OFF SKIN (apparently the only way she can score votes bc she sure isn't scoring votes solely on her vocals). I think the scoring should be reconstructed and involve America's votes combined with the judge's votes.

Frankly, I have to laugh everytime I hear them say "this year's talent is the best EVER in American Idol history!" What a joke! There is no one in this year's line-up whose CD I would run out and buy. In reality, the best pool of talent was during season 2. The others have been mediocre at best.
April 11th, 2008 9:41 AM
Somthing is terribly wrong with this picture. Michael Johns was the best thing that's ever happened to American Idol. His talent is indescribable and I sincerely hope he gets a lucrative record contract and the success he so clearly deserves. On another note, Ryan Seacrest is a tool for saying what he said for pure drama, about last year's vote not counting.
April 11th, 2008 9:50 AM
He was my favorite and def best of top two. This guy did have real"Star Power". I saw him as a lead singer and more mature then the rest of the group. I think everyone was not worried about him winning, so no one voted for him. Typical, many people worried about the weaker singers staying on the show and forgot to vote for the best.
April 11th, 2008 9:57 AM
Wake up, folks! It's all about the money the producers can make off the winner. They want a white guy to win; either Archuleta or Cook because they really haven't had a successful white male WINNER. Archuleta and Cook are more marketable than Johns in their eyes; Archuleta could be the next Clay and Cook the next Daughtry. We are all big dummies for thinking our votes "Count"; it's not like Price-Waterhouse audits the voting like at the Oscars; the producers can do whatever they feel like and they like messing with us all!!!
April 11th, 2008 10:06 AM
I agree w/alex i think something is in the works...its not april fools, he will be back on the show soon...i read on other sites that people were unable to vote.
April 11th, 2008 10:10 AM
Seacrest is a sadistic ass. His treatment of Michael Johns last night was disgusting and uncalled for.
April 11th, 2008 10:26 AM
The Best of the BEST is gone?? Come on, Michael Johns was THE reason to tune in, along side Carly & Brooke they all were SO Worth the watch.
Ya got these teeny boppers & whoever else are tone deaf voting & AI use to be fun, but it's rigged.
You won't find me or my Friends watching again......NOT W/O MICHAEL JOHNS!!!!
Maybe "Dream On" wasn't His Greatest Performances, but Every other one was Perfect.
The Judges I respect totally, however their opinion isn't qualified, that Kristi girl sang one song almost good & actually she should NEVER have even been in the Final 24!!
Michael NEVER imitated a Rock Star, He just is one & I certainly Hope He knows by all these Posts.....WE NEED HIM B A C K in Our Lives....ROCK ON MICHAEL!!~belle

Several people could have gone home last night and it wouldn't have been shocking, Syesha, Brook or Kristy!!! But Michael Johns!! No no no. He did not deserve to go. He's one of the best singers they have ever had. But he and Carly both had a bigass target on their backs, you can usually tell by judges comments who they want to stay and who they dont. And Ryan was beyond cruel with his reference to the year before, absolutely no need for that.
April 11th, 2008 10:33 AM
He totally should be in the top three if not two - I am not sure if i even want to watch the rest - it really make next week less exciting knowing he won't be there - if there were smart for ratings - they would bring him back - Have a special bring back show - I think a lot of people would watch that.

The talent is gone, and there is no reason to watch and see who the IDOL will be, Im sure i'll see it on Yahoo news or something. American Idol just ran out of GAS. and Ryan Got too Pompous.
April 11th, 2008 11:08 AM
Kristy is still on because of a combination of Vote For the Worst backing her and Johns' fans being so confident that they didn't vote.
In the future, AI has to limit votes cast per phone number, the way Dancing with the Stars does. That might kill Vote for the Worst.
This entire competition has become so twisted, it's definitely no longer a talent competition.
Ryan Seacrest's handling of the announcement last night was cruel and unnecessary. Did someone tell him to do that, or was that his stupid choice? Whatever the case, I'm done watching for the year. I stopped last year about this time, too.
Can we please be rid of Ryan, and change the voting system? Then perhaps the show won't continue to bore viewers or lose them altogether.

Michael is great, great, great. Beautiful, sexy, mature singing voice.
Love his stage presentation. He's right up there in image with Bruce Springsteen. And his version of the Dolly Parton song --- SPECTACULAR.
Please bring Michael back, or I won't watch idol any more, never, .
