American Idol Michael John sings "Get Away" in the band Film

[MsDoxma]

God, I love this song. And him singing it.

[dropsofintensity]

He reminds me of Richard Ashcroft from The Verve. His vocal stylings are very similar. Take a listen to Lucky Man by The Verve. Their styles are very much the same.

[daredevillulu]

WOW amazing! blew me away

[kjygyrl]

ahhh! i love him!! his voice is so good!

[makemedance1234]

I like the way michael sounds in film too bad he can't team up with them again. I'd like to hear more song like these on his future recordings.

[annecy6]

he looked so young in this vid? but still gorgeous!

[DanceWithYourSoul]

yeah he's like 22 here because this was back in 2000 or 2001.

[Qcloud9]

Michael has a strong, athletic physique from playing tennis and football competitively. His body is perfect, he's buff, that's muscle, not fat at all!!!

[happyhead7]

wow he got fat.

[culverapex]

Winning the contest isn't as important as the exposure :) We all know that Michael Johns is awesome, and that he's going places.

[Alexander44622]

Good song and good singer)!

[winnie106]

MYGODD!!! WHAT A GREAT VOICE!

He shoul've won! seriously...!

[Qcloud9]

I love this version, Michael is great whether he's singing it like this or rocking it in the other version. I said this was from an audition because that's what it said on an mp3 I found of this.

[jimmorrisonfan67]

I think his voice is different in these songs. He has a wide range. Looks like he just came from a tennis match. Love Michael!

[Romi421]

This is so awesome. Michael you're the best.

[LintLicker2616]

AMAZING! :] <3 cant wait 4 the cd

[beachbutterfly]

brillant, I totally agree he is the best and too good for idol he could not show case his talent as much though I still felt he did a great job on there but Mariah Carey come on, I agree 100%.

Want your albums Michael, love ya :D

[lynmac123]

This is the perfect vocal, perfect song, perfect man. Looking forward to hearing more from you Michael.

[Seboctoid]

If he could have sung like this on Idol he would have won. The show doesn't let them be themselves. They have to sing Mariah Carey? Give me a break.

[latinapeacechick]

agree 100%

[Romi421]

Thanks for posting this.

He's amazing, this is so perfect, love his voice.

[rainman0006]

Best person ever on that show.

[Qcloud9]

I agree 100%!!!!

[suzzzz11]

Already a star, just needed your break. Now

everything you dreamed of is about to come

true. I couldn't be happier for you.  Can't wait to hear your CD.

Susie

[HandleWIthMittens]

This guy was on AI and he didn't win? That show sucks.

[meowziannie]

Thanks for posting this. Love this performance!

[luvsrock]

If his album is anything like this I'll be the first in line!! AMAZING!!!

[Qcloud9]

Michael is so good, I tend to forget to mention the band, they're awesome too!

[batfur]

You are already an icon for me Michael. We will never forget you.

[Qcloud9]

He's so versatile. I love this one too.

He's on his way...already a legend to me!

[Effervescent54]

Micheal Johns is awesome!!!!I love his edgy vocals plus he is HOT!!!!

[ganga316]

michael definitely didnt need to win AI at all.. but it wud ve been nice for him to be at least in the top 5 like Daughtry once was..

im hoping he comes out witha kick ass album anyway... we love u MJ!

[aq1q]

Yes i wanted him in the top 3 or something.

[Kapitanovs]

I guarante that he will become a legend. For me he already is

[aq1q]

he is SO fantastic. I can't believe. I love cook, but Michael is better.

[Nonchalant78]

I love you michael, ur fantastic!

[clalbh]

Micheal Johns your the best! pls come out with an album!!!!

[sepiaskinsoon]

BIG FAN whose glad MJ got outa there. though he needed the exposure, he's way too good for AI. over the years AI has done nothing but scummed the airways with one soul-less hack singer after another. Not one of their contestants, including the winners, comes close to MJ's level of originality and talent (he writes his own songs)--not to mention his sex appeal. BTW: I just purchased every album (2) and songs he/his bands have released over the years. Love the guy, (hate the wifey thing).

[Giseli575]

will miss you...

keep it up! please!!!

[jennerpeach41]

I've liked Johns from his first audition,I dont think he'll win cause archaleta's lil groupies and Cook is good. I think Johns is the best but not winning may be a good thing , look at Chris Daughtry.

Michael Johns is sooo handsome and sexy!

[sham277]

i doubt he'd join any of his old bands once he's done with AI though.....quite sad really , haha , but its ok , this is a really good song

[Ronaldinha1023]

woo!

[vestoplast]

Micheal better sing for hard Rock band! Haha!

[mattfifi]

seems to me the intro sounds like wonderwall by oasis. haha.

[rocknessmonster93]

BIG TIME!

[imshadowynne]

Okay, not that it really matters, but why are they all sitting down kind of in a row? It just doesn't look natural, and several times it looks like Michael is ready to stand up.

[Qcloud9]

I think this was an audition.

[garyae]

you so great mite!

[jjohns519]

I could listen to him all day.  Awesome voice.

[joeybird69]

Beautifully sung!

[areVnia]

yeahh...seems like pearl jam/...

[deauzie]

a pom won australian idol

[Brossie2008]

Damien Leith was actually an Irish man

[ArchipelagoATL]

Unfortunately for the band 'film', Michael Lee was a good front man with the wrong voice. Look for other film songs, especially the first album, if you want to hear how it was MEANT to be sung.

[heehee1988]

I Love your voice!!! I really hope you win in American idol!!!!!!1

[sunshineforthesun]

He is amazing and all and has the cahnce to win buut it would be weird to have an "Australian" Win "American" idol. hes american but his accent isnt.

[shamustb99]

It's hard to fault him for emigrating to this country when ALL of our ancestors emigrated here from somewhere else. By default, EVERYONE living in this country, with the exception of Native Indians, aren't "from" here. Carly was born in Ireland, Michael was born in Australia, Ramiele's parents were not born in the USA. We are all immigrants, at the end of the day. Doesn't matter if one emigrated 10 years ago or 10 generations ago. IF you're here legally you belong.

[Amparito56]

I agree..In fact..David "Archuleta" appearently has latin roots the same as Jason "Castro" and Danny "Noriega"

[alexu242]

he's hottt.One of my favorites on American Idol!!

[Lorizh]

Kind of like Oasis meets Pearl Jam, I like Michael Johns...a lot, lol. He's hot and has a great voice!

[Makkaer1111]

This man has "It" and will Succeed.Simply AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[guitarman069]

he should should grow his hair long...awesome grunge vocals

[imilynours]

the best of michael john good signing i hope you win in american idol you're ready.

[dml1dml]

Vote for him =)

[Scarletnettie]

Wow, what an amazing voice! This guy doesn't need Idol to succeed!

[o0SMASH0o]

[cfcstriker10]

[HashRouge]

[dderow]

[wigglesfreak254]
