Why is everyone surprised? His song choice this week simply did not appeal to the voting demographic, (think young teenagers voting multiple times). This shows that a bad song and a kooky neck scarf can lead to disaster. He is most certainly talented, but who was he performing for? I hope the Irish lizard lady goes next.

This was WRONG!
The show begging for money, making us sit through almost 3 hours of boaring Tues. night, then to slap us in the face on Wed.
Michael Johns is a brilliant tallent and this was outrageous!
Ryan should be ashamed of himself for doing that to him. What kind of person would do that, it was beyone cruel.
I think they should bring Michael back on the show and Ryan should say how sorry he is for being the biggest jerk around.

HOW DO WE EMAIL FOX?
Was this some kind of PLOY to increase ratings?
Could someone post the EMAIL ADDRESS for FOX? I tried to find it but had no luck.
Thanks.

I'M SHOCKED!! I Cannot watch AI anymore, when the two most unoriginal contestants, Brook, and David C are still there, and MIchael is gone, Micheal if your reading this, nowis your time to make this happen, you will be the biggest star.

You can look at it two ways:
1st. Controversy causes buzz buzz causes more hype, in a sick and twisted way returns more viewers to see what other drama will come out of the controversy.
2nd. Daughty being eliminated brought HUGE buzz and hype for his first release album (Daughtry). We all know Michael Johns is damn good, I wouldn't be shocked if this was a ploy to build up the hype like they did Chris.
In the end Idol is only selling themselves short and with these cheesy tactics will make the show less appealing each year.

I was a huge fan of American Idol.. following it for years. The show is not a talent contest but a POPULARITY CONTEST. I will now only watch the auditions segments of the show and not the top 12. It is a waste of time since AMERICA can't get it right. I think its time to let America choose the bottom three and let the judges have the final vote. Kristy, Jason, or Brooke deserved to go home last night. Michael Johns is a very talented guy and of course he'll get signed. But the point if if America can't choose the best.. how the hell are they gonna choose a president?!?!?!

Really, I can't believe that he, out of all the others who should've been kicked out of the show a long time ago, was eliminated. It was just like a major shock. This show is messeduppp =/

I know there's a lot of wailing over American Idol's latest elimination, but honestly? I'm not too surprised. Michael John's performance was, to me, forgettable. I don't even remember what he sang. Michael John is a good guy and a solid singer, but he doesn't have that star quality that makes him stand out from the crowd. I was never a big fan - actually I usually forgot he was in the competition. I find singers such as Carly and Sayesha more entertaining simply because they seem to have a personality. Hey, they make mistakes, but at least there's a bit of a theme behind their song choices, not just some random "pick here pick there".
I know many of you will disagree with me, but please remember it's only an opinion. I noticed the last comment mentions that AI has turned into a popularity contest, which is partly true, but can also be explained. Carrie Underwood is an amazing singer, which is, of course, why she one. But if she had talked back to the judges, or demonstrated an attitude, I doubt she would have the title she has today.
Basically, no matter what the judges say, it's more than just singing. It's about having a personality and the ability to choose the right songs. It's about being memorable, which is harsh, but true.
So I say, American Idol should keep on doing what it's doing. Hopefully, America will get it right.

I cant belive this happend .poor Micheal not only did he get capture the audence but he was also so hot!The way Ryan said it was terible!He was my favorite .comeon america if we all band together we can get him back .Pleas email FOX.Stop sitting here on your buts writing to comment boards when you should be writing them to FOX.
April 11th, 2008 2:58 PM
These better not make it in the top 5!
8 - Kristi Lee
7 - Brooke
6 - Jason
Their vocal range suck! Ramiel can sing better than them. As far as Michael Johns I really thought he'd sail through the top 5 easy...o well - AI voters sucks anyway - it's all about favorites & good looks not talent.
April 11th, 2008 2:59 PM
Im outraged I was not as angry when they messed up and elimanated chris daughtry, but this has gone to far.micheal was a truly inspiring contestant, who captured my heart .and yours but if we really want the showthat he was on american idol,then we must take action we can start by leaving comments to fox but if we dont do anything we must boycot by stop watching AI. TAKE ACTION AMERICA

Just stop watching already. After the past few years it's hard to believe so many still watch. I mean, just look at last year, Good Lord what was Sanjaya?
The only just thing to do would be to fire Ryan Seacrest and give his job to Michael John.
April 11th, 2008 5:30 PM
AI is rigged - They are only in it to sell CD's Michael Johns did not fit the mold - Too old for them.
I think Michael Johns was the best - I can't stand David Cook, I don't know what anyone sees in him - It is definitly rigged.
The only thing Simon could say was" it was a bad song choice" - No Way!!! That is all he could say - He had to say something- They told him to say that.

Just last week I commented to my wife that I thought it was great that Ryan was not doing the b.s. toying with the emotions of contestants as he'd done in years past, and then what he did to Michael Johns??? Absolutely classless and unnecessary. To tease that last year no one was sent home during "Idol gives back" week, but this year....."we say goodbye to Michael Johns." Doubly insulting since Michael was easily the most talented, soulful, and interesting person on the show this year. I guess the upside is that he won't be tied to the ridiculous contract they make the 'winner' sign, and can sign on with someone who appreciates his real talents.
April 11th, 2008 5:43 PM
I don't want to be rude, but what are your problems? I agree that Micheal shouldn't have been voted off, and that he was an amazing singer, but don't boycott Idol!! I don't believe American Idol is rigged, and I do think they follow the votes. I think that people from last year remembered no one getting voted off this week, so they didnt bother to vote! So, don't stop watching American Idol and continue voting for the good people!!
April 11th, 2008 6:59 PM
FU, AI!
April 11th, 2008 7:27 PM
I Think Michael Johns was set up to loose. I tried voting for him for an hour following the show after 30 attempts to BUSY signals I gave up figuring he was solid. I threw one vote to Jason and one to Syesha and got right threw. I was on speed dial and couldn't get "one" vote in for my man Michael Johns. THIS WAS RIGGED... NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, In Past Weeks I've always got through and that was when he made it... So to be last and suddenly I can't get a vote in is AMAZING.
April 11th, 2008 7:34 PM
at first when ryan said syesha i was sure she was going home then he said carly and i was afraid she was going to go home (carly's my fav) then he said you are safe and i was flippin out!!! i was sure he'd make it further too
April 11th, 2008 7:41 PM
It's difficult to believe that Michael Johns didn't get more votes than Syesha or Kristy Lee Cook--it's so unbelievable. I have no motivation to watch AI anymore--no one moves me from the contestants who are left behind (ok maybe Jason would do) and in terms of singing--Michael Johns delivered everytime--I wish the rest of the contestants good luck but some of them don't deserve to be there and Michael Johns had the talent to be at the worst 3rd place so what ever happened was just ridiculous....
April 11th, 2008 8:30 PM
I can't believe the votes were right. I just can't believe it. He was the reason I watched and spent money on Itunes. Won't be watching anymore unless I hear they bring him back.
April 11th, 2008 9:33 PM
I was shocked when I saw that Michael Johns was eliminated. I loved him. He did not deserve to be eliminated, he should have stayed! Its difficult to think that he won't be there anymore. *sigh* this definitely did not make my day... I'm going to miss him. :(
April 11th, 2008 9:37 PM
How wrong America was with that vote! But the way the vote was presented was just as shocking as the elimination itself, it was really done in such poor taste. Michael Johns deserved better than that!
April 11th, 2008 9:45 PM
You are all right-do something about it-flood ryan seaquest and fox with the same Emails, IJUST DID about Micheal and his tasteless treatment-that is the only way fox is gonna get the message!!!!!!!!!!
"don't you forget about me" - we won't Mike
