[Lucas4thtry]

awk, ppl forgot about him

[allbe413]

To be that microphone!!

[amnaw]

I wonder why he didn't release this as a single & David Cook did.

[johnalthom13]

better than David Cook's:) hehe

[Kainosielu]

I definetly wont and didn't!!

[Raiisagani]

Thisis the best version. He's a great singer and Simon was being stupid. 

[Chaos41571]

I was mad when he got kicked off the show

[ealo11]

Michael Johns is adorable and a great singer.  Miss him on my tv.

[r0ck99videos]

I want to grab him

[letseatzombies]

Damn, he's amazing.

[eve0703]

what ban awesome voice . I'm still listening to him

[LegoxMe]

SO FUCKING HOT.

mmm, he has a nice bum too

[ilpicchiatello]

hope Jim kerr will never see this video !!!!!!

[mike81ish]

gorgeous! and his voice is WOW

[twilightblue33]

six foot 3 of hunkiness. New CD Heart on my Sleeve.

[antale007]

very very good

[SOL1237]

He is so AMAZING!!! =O

[98al00an]

I like Michael Johns version too. Little bet different, but his beautiful voice is making this song just awesome.. He doesn't need completely repeat original..Awesome..

[crossstitchhappy]

He does have a CD out right now!

[NewYorkerForGood]

i want him to record a c.d. :)

[Evilsmurf39]

this is shit, his version is nothing like the real one

[musicislove1901]

i really miss this guy. he was amazing.

[Parallax1688]

Paula is difficult to listen to

[kerron32]

He does an ok job of the song. Inxs had nothing to do with the song the first judge dont know his musical history to well. Simple minds are the band who recorded the song in the summer of 1985. The best scottish band of all time

[riveoside]

when Simon said he thinks Michael would do very well in the competition. He probably expected Michael being in the top 4 or 5. Not fuckin Jason.

[shaka055]

oh simon!

he was so hard on both michael and carly.

ugh.

[browneyeslc]

he's so sweet

[D34dPh4nt0m]

Woah woah woah, Don't say I don't know what good music is, I just stated that he wasn't in Simple minds. It was a folley in the video. I know who Micheal hutchence is and I know how he died. It was a statement to it's a simple minds song not an INXS song. Scrappy you're an idiot who doesn't know criticism to the people in the video.

[funnydragon11]

hes ok but i like the real actual video, i dont wanna be rude but he makes the song crappy

[windrix1]

He was the greatest,his elimination wasso stupid.

[szdwe]

'Michael Johns' and cook should be i finale

[yrisbdiaz]

He is really good!!! he shouldnt leave early from the competition,,,,, Complete Artist!!

[rofthorax]

He needs to do Jim Morrison, he looks a little like him..

[ewidentnie]

He's realluy good! I like his voice

[XtaroXtaroX]

great preformance, but they ruined it by changing the fuckin lyrics !!!!!

[fishSG1]

he should have won

[princess872003]

They would have never let an aussie won!

[fishSG1]

you mean win and that does not mean that he should not have won.

[LeBaggeLady]

He was my favorite last year...now I own his music....sexy and talented. But Adam is my addiction this year.

[marcellin20a]

hes more theatrical....shades of soul rock at most most but nothing compared to the soul sung by Micheal

[hotgeorge44]

he shud have won!!!!!!!!

[rickoteo]

wah!!!this guy was in season 7????????????i tot i saw him on season 7 as a guest singer!!!i tot he was from season 6 mna...i saw him perform once on the finals or semi finals on season 7 and he had an album man..and he looked like a pure singer??i nev thought he would be a contestant

[Bondiblu2]

He's good! Hope MJ makes it all the way the top - wherever that may be!

[D34dPh4nt0m]

Who the fuck is Michael Hutchence? He's not in simple mind you dumb fuck.

[raufcj11]

Michael Hutchence is the lead singer of INXS..awesome singer and entertainer

[mjseaon7]

Forzanucci, I agree with YOU! You are absolutely correct!

His single HEART ON MY SLEEVE, will come out, march 31st! His album, June 2, 2009.

MJ ROCKS!

[Forzanucci]

This Guys is gonna make it Big !

[marcellin20a]

lol. wish he was in season 8 considering all the shit performances Ive seen in the top 36

[tclover88]

sexy voice, then, I started to think how gorgeous he is :)

[WilhelmFink1039]

If I ever met him, I'd just wanna listen to him talk. His voice is incredible! ;D Sexy...

[afeze18]

[level1critique]

[yourtiy]

[lovrascal]

A Pure Aussie Hottie..Love ya Michael Johns! You freaken rocked this song!!!!!!!!!!! Hey !! Hey! Hey!!

And Randy is a Moron...It's Simple Minds..retard...there Michael I said it for you.

[bboymare]

omg. this is one of my favorite idol videos. aussie is hot. ;)

[Downloader2007]

Natural performer. He reminds me of Ronan Keating.

[finalfantasyXfan131]

when he started the song I knew he was great already

[nwcub77]

I remember watching this performance when it was on UK TV and was totally blown away - he has the looks, charisma, voice, stage presence...basically a natural perfomer! :)

[idolangelx13]

should have been in the top 3 with david cook and david archuleta

[swordlily1girl]

agree :)

[SandRshowXD]

michael johns rules buy his new cd on march

[TehJourneyNoob]

do we have a date for it comin out?

[mooqtie215]

[Vaclavthekid]

Michael Johns > Archuleta, Cook

[gojaydeego2]

the best moment in any idol history

[mushd89]

AGREE, he's gorgeous, australian, has great taste in music, talented...the list goes on and on ..

[hotgeorge44]

cud he be any hotter!!!

[anya7979]

He was fantastic in this song... he was always fantastic

[justinchester0018]

I love MICHAEL JOHNS!

[gojaydeego2]

me to man how culdent he have one right

[kamil5550]

Isn't this song in the breakfast club?

[aaliyahsharnay]

i love him

[curtisgorner]

i love this song...i prefer original though but he does it well

[Stacestang]

I like Michael way better than the original. He does totally AWESOME on this song. LOVE IT. He sings it so perfectly. I love his strong voice.

[fastrig]

The original is way better

[lovrascal]

Awesome Michael ...Love it!! The full version in the Phillipines was over the top HOT!! Great Job. Way better then the original.

[NarutoMajere]

Bad. Original was way better.

[beasheen]

I love you Michael Johns...

He performed here in the Philippines. Wow! And sing this song! Mwaaaaaaaaahh. It was just a while ago.

I will not forget about you and November 18, 2008!

[AbhiB]

maybe he had a better back ground music it swould have sounded better as this was very weak BG music

[teeftaller7]

I hope they don't have a top 24 this year.

[finalfantasyXfan131]

no even worse a top 36

[ilovetobeused]

this guy can go eat a big dick

[c0ldprince]

Bleh. Original is better :/

[TheYoung1s]

He should have tried out for aussie idol..i think he would have done better here.

[rhythmiche]

hey, all you guys who gave the young1 here a hands down, take a moment and think a little... where do you think votes come from? - from idol's supporting states that's where. michael was awesome he was my fave but it's true he woulda lasted longer if he had a bigger homebase in the states.

[sdmahr]

Michael, I'd like to get my hands on those turkeyes who hurt you! You sure showed them...SUPERSTAR :)

[lovrascal]

I like Michael's version better then the original. Hot,Sexy Michael owned this song. Good Job, Michael.

[u8myapple]

The only reason I wouldn't like MJ and DC in the final two is because they are such good friends. I do agree with Simon about singing more bluesy music though. He would be awesome singing blues. His rock sound is OK, but the originals are just better, so there is no improvement. I think that is what hurt him. I think he is one of the most interesting and sexiest guys that AI has ever had though and truly has a good voice.

[NativeMoon]

Agreed - I think soul and blues is where its at for him. I know he mentioned pop and dance but those genres make him more karaoke and the guy can actually sing and has a really interesting voice.

[090783]

I love you Michael Johns..you are soooo...totally...HOT...Please FUCK me!!!

[hubguy5]

uggh.....not doing it for me.....go do some pearl jam covers.....

[redjfmsox]

Michael Rocks Best voice ever :)

[the1hypocrite]

"Michael vocally owned this song. Simple Minds should be proud of such a justified cover"

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Simple minds gives a shit bout this nobody, lol

[BratFaceAnaya]

dam hes pretty good!

[marcellin20]

he reminds me of Peter Garrett. Wish he auditioned in Australian idol.

[MovinOut45]

he shoulda been top 2.  archuletta was mediocre.

[redhotpearl]

I cant believe that david archuleta got so far he messed so much...

[qg6ff]

So which girl was simon talking about? Kady or Carly? Probably Carly?

[IngaMarie]

He's got a great voice and talent. It'd be a shame not to get a record from him

[Tzoni]

mitähä vittua ne kehuu taas iha liikaa

[weedan2k8]

this is what made me want him 2 win i like david cook but tht he was just much better at times nd david archulito wasnt as good as david cook or michael johns both were gd anoth 2 win show :D

[itsgoodforyourcolons]

this Aussie dude has got great personality

[michaeljohns223]

his name is MICHAEL JOHNS and he ROCKS

[EddyBritt]

too bad he's not gay ! :(

[michaeljohns223]

ew you sicko!!! y would he be gay?

[EddyBritt]

How cute!

am I a sicko because I wished he was gay ???

Are we freaks of nature because we didn't choose or sexual orientation ?!

I'm sorry... he's hot!

[xonp34]

i could so picture david cook singing this

[bellabana]

MJ didn't get the praise he deserved,

they always held him to a higher standard than the others because he has such a good voice, this song is really hard to sing yet he made it sound effortless. Simon was too busy telling MJ we expect more without appreciating how well he'd just sung, what a wanker!

[leena003]

i wish he'd been able to perform some INXS songs, he would have rocked

[EddyBritt]

I'm the best inxs fan in the world and usually I don't allow everyone to sing their songs but he can go for it!

[type7926]

Isn't this song by Simple Minds?

[TsubasaEmoFool]

Paula be cwazy.

[webphrey]

hes really good but it always bothered me when he preformed when he keeps lifting his hands. it was just strange.

[666numerofbeast]

that was bad!!!!!!!

[MaccaForever]

Does Randy know Simple Minds sing this song? I think he believes INXS do!

Michael Johns is amazing and should NOT have left so early! He's an incredible singer!

[Sunnydaleexile06]

The way he moved always put me off. He's slightly off beat but I love his voice.

[Zetapie]

Did Paula really say "all" the boys are "unique and different," and that Michael is "no exception"?

By the by, so much love for Simon.

[JoeyArmstrongismine]

WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL and i dont want 2 hear anything about any other american idol contestant because none r even close 2 as awesome as MJ

[JoeyArmstrongismine]

I WILL FIND THOSE PPL AND BEAT THEM UP

[ATTAHJERRY]

shut up paula

[michaeljohnsfan9601]

musicdude2009,i totally 100% agree

[musicdude2009]

The top 3 should of been MJ and the two davids.

[limyohwan]

Definitely, the three of them were the strongest. I still don't get how come Michael got kicked out that early.

[musicdude2009]

His fans probably thought he was safe.

[bellabana]

Simon proved what a complete dick he was when making comments about MJ and did him a huge disservice all during the competition, because he held Michael to a much higher standard than the other idols he didn't show him enough appreciation when he sang really well, he always wanted more, instead of giving Michael the credit he deserved. This song is really hard to sing and yet Michael sang it so easily, especially when you compare it to the original.

[dw1234520022003]

typo n my comment second 2 last word is supposed 2 b tunes

[dw1234520022003]

i donno if randy got confuised thinkin this was an inxs song but johns reminds me of hutchence with his stage presence i was hoping he would do some inxs the whole time he was on idol im hoping he does some inxs on an album am i the only person in the world thats wanting him 2 do some inxs yunes though?

[hockeybeast55]

why did he not win he is the best!!!he could bet david cook in a sing off any day!!!

[michaeljohnslover23]

I love it! Can't get enough of it! Of course he's better than david a. jason castro and david cook. david cook was good but MJ was way better.

[mike20079]

He's hot, I love the way he say records! In my opinion he was way better than cook or archuleta. hes also got huge hips! mmmmm! so hot! what a huge butt! every video of him Im distracted by his hot ass.

[michaeljohnslover23]

he doesn't have big lips

[mike20079]

I said hips, you know, to go with his great ass. michael johns was by far the best this year, I have no idea why some people just liked the davids more instead of him, prob. b/c of popularity? anyway I was pissed when he got voted off, I was rooting for carly after that, but I still dont think she as good as michael, but a close 2nd.

[BlingyDamon3]

eh i would put carly over michael in the end mike20079 but i think those two were the best of the year and NEITHER SHOULD'VE GONE DOWN THAT EARLY!!!!!!!! i really dont see what all the fuss is about little archuleta i wanted to punch him!

[DannyequalsLOVE]

all i can say is SEXY.....

[kyladreamweaver]

This is the performance that flipped me over from 'fan' to 'is stalker really a BAD thing?'. Still can't get enough of it and I would lovelovelove to see him record a full version.

[michaeljohnslover23]

ha ha yeah i thought is stalker a bad thing when he first auditioned

[RiverDragon29]

his jacket is fuckin snazzy.

[thephantomplatypus]

idk why, but i just can't get enough of this performance.

three cheers for michael johns!

[AmericanIdolFans2008]

hip hip hurray

hip hip hurray

hip hip hurray

ok there ya go thephantomplatypus

[thephantomplatypus]

haha

[lebleubayou]

I still cannot figure out how Jason Castro beat this guy out. VERY WRONG. MJ is classy.

[PhantomlyWicked]

ahh this song was on the breakfast club. ahh michael johns is soooo hot (:

[ACKXXXX]

this song was on futurama too, right?

[lili8556974]

HE'S SO MARVELOUS!!!

[guitarguy217]

this guy was one of my favorites. his version of this song is way better than the original

[terpsichelle]

i totally agree with everyone else!!! i still think he should have been in the final 3 or even in the final 2...and I DO AGREE that he's better than Cook!!! he started the whole "owning" the song thing...the whole "rock originality" going on...he should've been the season 7 american idol!!!

[radioactivemonkey7]

He is the cutest person on EARTH. I think he is way better than David Cook.

[goddess35]

he's hot, much better looking than cook. he is a good singer, but cook is a better singer.I dont understand why he got voted off so soon though. is it cause he is form austraulia?

[Qcloud9]

I could listen to him all day and I will!

[126TCY]

aaahhhhmazing!!!! put that cd out asap!!

[hockeybeast55]

he should have never gotten voter out hes hot can so totally sign his fricken beast!!!!!!!!!

[090783]

i just heard the original version of this song..and I must say michael did way better.

[canadian212121]

One of his best songs, very very very nice.

[adaabyade]

he's way better than the losers castro and archuleta

[alyzzle08]

no u def dont kno wat ur talkin about.. america got it right!!

[iDontGetIt4444]

Watch my vid response! ^^^^

This is my favorite of Michael's!

[iDontGetIt4444]

I wont forget abou you MJ! He should have been at LEAST in the top 3! WHY AMERICA? WHYYYYYYYYY?????!!!!!?????!!!!­?????

[iDontGetIt4444]

hehe love the way he says recooohhhhhrrd

[ligerpuss]

I thought he was goin 2 win- he should of!

[laurkat22]

We love you Michael! You should have won!

[Switchz28x]

I TOTALLY AGREE. I LOVE YOU

[awburn]

Dont worry Michael we WONT forget about you.

~~~~Long Live the Aussie Posse~~~

[potcfanatic]

Take his advice everyone ;) Let's never forget MJ.

[canadian212121]

HE is THE Rock Singer, no doubt!.

Y no dejes que te digan que no lo eres.

[taystheone]

I too miss MJ so much!!! AI really lost out when they let Michael go...no longer watching, just isn't the same!! Waiting anxiously for a CD!!!

[wench34]

I have not forgotten about you Michael, either......have credit card waiting to buy your album!

American Idol lost the best when you were let go..

[fairwindsgirl2]

the real american idol..i wont forget about him =)

[entertainer1987]

I miss Michael every day. The show just isn't the same without him.

[alulu8]

I read the writer of this song hates it! Apparently, he wasn't that keen on it after writing it - it was for a film maybe that's why.

Great job Michael Johns!

[thebigL90]

his elimination was a great mistake. Show was kinda dry without him...:(

[icelover19]

yyyyyy
