It was a shocking surprise what happened last night on American Idol.
There was a breeze of hope that no one was going to be leaving the show this week ... but i guess that was only a feeling, because Michael Johns was voted off and it was totally not funny!
Michael Johns, Carly Smithson and Saliesha Mercado were in the danger zone and till the last minute i felt that either no one was leaving or that Carly would be the one to go!
Well, Michael picked himself up with grace, sang a great version of 'Dream On' and walked away ...
Last year, no contestant left the show on the Idol Gives Back week ... so I'm not sure what happened exactly! Did the audiences not vote enough? Or was there some other fishy thing happening ... Or was it simply Michael's bad luck?
What do you think of the elimination and how do you rate the Top 7 now?
I was so frustrated by that - he should have stayed because out of all the contestants he had the greatest potential and power to win the hearts of many.
I didn't watch the show before I read the news, so my heart sank fo this man because he deserved so much.
I really have enjoyed watching him and considered myself a fan from the moment he walked into the audition room.
One week ago I posted somewhere on the net: "...it doesn't really matter if Michael wins this competition or not because he's a winner at the end. I honestly can't see him going back to his normal life after this show"
And I don't budge from what I said.
Australia ought to be very proud of him.
This man will be having so many recording labels fighting over him.
I just wish him with all my heart the best for the future.
