im definitely done with this show. michael johns had more talent than at least 5 of the 7 left..i thought it would be him and cook in the final 2..hes my favorite, i wont give anyone else my votes and look forward to his career taking a big turn. we will be watching for you michael. oh, and ryan seacrest who i used to like, is someone i dont like anymore the way he handled it. it was outright mean and i am glad i will be rid of this show.

Michael should definitely have been saved. He is the whole package, an American idol. He is not only a great singer but he looks good too. I'm sure there is a record deal waiting for him. I'll definitely buy any album he puts out. Thumbs down to American Idol for not saving him like they did for the other contestant last year at this time by not sending anyone home.
WHEN is Kristy going to go home. She is the worst singer of the lot. Her voice leaves a lot to be desired. As for Jason, pretty eyes but is anyone home? David Cook has a great voice but a lousy attitude. Good luck to Carly Smithson and David Archuletta. I'm done with Idol for the season.

So much for a talent contest. AI is just a popularity contest. Michael Johns should not have left. He, David Cook and Carly should have been top 3. Michael has never, ever been in the bottom 3. Why did he get voted off? How do we as viewers ever know what the true count was? I was a fan of Ryan's but no more. he was so rude saying last year everyone was safe and then telling Michael he was going home. What a way to give false hope. Explain how people consistantly in the bottom 3 are still there. I will still watch this season for David and Carly but I am very disappointed on AI.

They are all good singers so I believe every week will be a shocker as to who goes home. However, the show needs to get back to being a SINGING competition not a POPULARITY competition. If people just focus on the singing they will realize that the top 3 people are David Cook, David Archuleta, and Carly Smithson. I feel that people are judging Carly too much because of her tattoos and because she's not originally from the US. Who cares..she's an amazing singer and is hands down the best female vocalist in the competition. It would be amazing to see her in the finale because I believe she could blow everyone away! I believe a David Cook/Carly Smithson finale would be smokin hotttt!!!

MJ will show everyone....he'll be just like Daughtry and blow the world away with his first album. Get that stupid Syesha off the show, she has absolutely NO talent what so ever, she is way out of her league compared to the rest of the remaining crowd.

I am a 66yr old grandmom to 12 kids. I watched Ai just to watch MJ perform. he has talent, looks and he is the whole package. I will not be watching any AI anymore because the best performer is gone. As for MJ, I will purchase any cd he releases. MICHAEL, YOU ARE A STAR************************************
April 15th, 2008 5:44 PM
Michael is the whole package, it's shocking that we let him slip away. Like many AI seasons in the past we tend to vote for those we think will be voted off based on their current performance. We need to remember those who do a great job consistently need that vote as well!
Michael was one of my top picks for this season. The girls all gotta go in my opinion (Carly should be the last of the bunch though). Jason, and the two Davids all deserve to be in the top 3.
April 16th, 2008 12:14 AM
I totally agree!! MJ was supposed to win...he had it all and he was my favorite by like 50 times! Absolutely disgusting that he was voted off--i think America just thought there was no way he could be, and didn't worry about it. Stupid, stupid!
And Ryan-- can anyone spell JEALOUS!!!??? what a lousy way of delivering the news..so pleased with himself.
Now Jason and David A are my faves...but honestly, the life is out of the competition.
April 16th, 2008 12:05 PM
WELL AFTER WATCHING LAST NIGHTS SHOW, WITHOUT MJ, IT CERTAINLY WAS A GOOD WAY TO GET TO SLEEP EARLY, STILL WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY FROM SNAKEQUEST-GUESS ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN-NO NEED TO WATCH THE SHOW ANY LONGER-GONNA WATCH A GOOD SHOW FRI MORNING-ELLEN WITH GUEST MICHEAL JOHNS

I have never missed an American Idol show til now. I could care less about who wins. David A reminds me of Reuben: great singer but who is going to go watch them sing? not me. I'd never thought I witness another as big an injustice as Jennifer Hudson being booted off with that incredible voice of hers and now it Michael Johns. He should have won the whole thing. Him and David A in the final 2 with Michael Johns winning by a landslide. Well, all I can say is Michael bring it on cause I'm buying and I'll come see you in concert. This is getting really old American Idol. Oh P.S. if you didn't vote off anyone on American Idol gives back last year what suddenly makes doing it this year an option. Would you have if it was lets say David A or David Cook??? Just wondering

Scooter - It was NOT a weak song choice. It was great.
April 18th, 2008 2:44 PM
What a stupid fluke. Everyone was surprised because Michael should NOT have been eliminated. And BTW... He was NOT voted off. You don't vote against people. Clearly, people thought he was safe and got lazy about voting. He was my favorite, and I've lost interest in the show since he's been gone.
Fans of his should go to iTunes and search for his ORIGINAL music. Try "The Rising" which was his band. I downloaded "Cradle" and "So Alive" FANTASTIC!

It was not fair because the phone lines to vote for Michael were always busy. If they are going to have national voting maybe they should have enough phone lines to actually vote. It would be interesting to see if the other two in the bottom had busy lines... I think they should have not sent him home but given him the chance to stay after Ryan said they didn't eliminate last year. Grrrrrr... thank God David Cook is still on.

The Best idol has ever seen. Get us a cd Fast!
April 22nd, 2008 10:30 PM
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.

american idols is stupid! ramielle's origin is from the philippines, michael is from australia & carly comes from ireland.. hmm, i guess i can tell now who's going to go next....

Yes, what ever happened to the judges infamous quote: "America got it Wrong"
May 3rd, 2008 3:31 AM
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!!
May 7th, 2008 3:27 AM

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.
June 2nd, 2008 4:38 PM
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.
