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?
