I've got you beat Vera, I'm almost 70 (in July). I haven't watched too much Idol on a regular basis until Carrie Underwood and now this year Michael Johns. I too feel there was some kind of glitch in the voting. Many times when I dialed in that night I got a dead line. I don't believe it was because his fans were not voting. I also agree with most of the postings that Ryan was very mean -spirited in the manner in which he 'booted' Michael off. It seemed like he got great pleasure in doing it. Michael has a great talent and I look forward to his bright future and will support him in buying his music when it hits the stores. I wish him all the best and as with most of the comments I will not be as interested in the rest of the shows now that he is gone. Good Luck Michael.

Everyone has an oppinion, here's mine.
Michael Johns is a good singer, Definitly better then Jason and Brooke, But not better then the "Quality" of David A.'s. ( I am 51 years old so not a little girl anymore,)So I am not swayed by his cutesy looks. I am swayed by the fact His voice is pure with a wide range of vocal ability, Carly has amazing vocals, as does David Cook who has great stage presence, years of experience has given David C that stage pressence, David A has not lived long enough YET.. Syeesha has great vocals, Kristi had potential, and blew it. Brooke should have gone home before Michael . If you quit looking at the
Physical looks of the contestants, and concentrate
on the vocals, you'll have to agree the top 3 should be David C & A and Carly as for the winner
David A from a marketing stand point. Who is easier to promote...young good looking..voice of an angel ... innocent. Cook and Carly both have had a shot in the mUsical world and failed.

Just to express my disappointment over MJ's elimination. To me, he's the best costestant so far with positive attitude and he has got the looks too. Since his elimination, i rarely watch American Idol and i dont find the contest as exciting as before. Anyway, good luck MJ!!

I have maintained for years that everything about this show is "fixed" by the producers. Since they are committed to signing the winner, they want to insure their choice wins. In this case, I believe they want David Cook to win because of his similarity to Daughtry, and because of Daughtry's success. With MJ also being a rocker they were afraid that splitting votes between those two contestants could result in Cook's untimely elimination, so they conveniently arrange for MJ's early dismissal.
-- MJ does have better vocal skills, but Cook's vocal skills are pretty good, and his musicianship (arrangements, creativity, etc.) are better, and his musical style is more contemporary. From an exec's point of view, Cook is a better commercial package.

I agree to some degree with Doug that the producers decided early on who they wanted to be in the finals and ultimately who they wanted to win (David C). MJ clearly has much better vocals than David C but I have to disagree that DC has better musical style and is more contemporary. I've downloaded MJ's music from AI on itunes and each song was his own arrangement. He didn't copy the original cover of the song. DC on the other hand was credited for original arrangements on his performances but they were note for note identical to the original song. Even Billie Jean was not DC's own arrangement despite brief mention from Seacreast that is wasn't Jackson's version of Billie Jean that DC was singing. Frankly, IMO, I think MJ is extremely talented and even though he had record deals before, that doesn't mean he should have been eliminated because obviously the previous records were just not promoted properly (I've downloaded them from itunes and they could have been hits when they were released had the proper marketing been done). This is proven by how MJ's previous records were quickly downloaded by viewers once he became an AI contestant and even more so after he was eliminated by the AI producers.
As for DC, he will probably have a pretty good career, but I don't think he'll be another Daughtry. That honor will reserved for MJ. DC just doesn't come across as having the same charisma and talent as MJ, especially prior to the top 12 weeks. Is DC a nice guy? Yes, but that doesn't mean he is a nicer guy than MJ. I like DC but I like MJ better and somebody needs to tell DC to stop wearing those boots with the wrong cut of jeans and to stop wearing his hair slicked down his face. Neither look flatters him.
Anyway, I predict that MJ will have a shining career, better than anyone ever imagined and wish him all the best in the future. He's the only reason I booked tickets for the AI tour after all these years . . . a chance to see an amazing artist like MJ.

I am still bummed out about your departure. You have a bight future ahead of you. You are going to be a legend, a household name, just like Elvis. I was there watching him on the Ed Sullivan Show, just like watchinjg you on television now. You have got a hold on me. Going to buy all your albums and videos, for all my friends and family and me. Hope to see you in Minneapolis. Jeanette xoxoxo
