Michael Johns Its All Wrong but its all right Studio version

[LouieLand]

It's a good version but the live version has that tasty blues guitar that I really miss.

[JaniceALfan]

I love Michael Johns. He is one of the best singers ever on Idol. I was so disappointed when he left. I have bought his duet with Brooke. I simply love it. His voice is so easy to listen to.

[mkr88lm]

the best AI contestant ever.

[josetrrs61]

No homo but wish I had his voice. Lol he's outstanding!

[jo25182518]

How rigged is this competition really - talent like MICHAEL JOHNS, never to taken up with a recording contract

[angelalovesharry]

i like the live version better cause i find that there's a whole lot more feeling in it but screw that, he is amazing.

[dustyroze]

I think Michael Johns should have won on AI.

[r2hsm1]

So good! I love the performance version better, though.

[buckyandrockytxfan]

OMG!! I LOVE this!!! Woo hooo.....I never forgot about the Aussie!! And he sounds so awesome!! Havn't heard from him in a while, did he get a record deal? He can sure sing and it sounds very bluesy with a country edge.....very nice!!!

[r2hsm1]

@buckyandrockytxfan He's independent. He has a cd out, Hold Back My Heart, and it's great! You can find it on i-Tunes, Amazon & in stores. He's working on another cd now.

[dollylove46]

Love this, but I definitely prefer my Dolly's version.

[ncjenk2]

[ncjenk2]

[KesDaSinger]

i met michael johns at the american idol concert in CALIFORNIA....he's SOOOOOOO NICE!!!!

[Drunknwow]

yeah... a bit too fast. looses alot of that soulful sound, good, but not as good as it coulda been

[Drunknwow]

glad to see he has a studio version/relase of this song. might be a bit too fast, looses something from his perfmance version but still great.

[WazzerAlvin]

good work on the video!

[AShinningstar2006]

I agree Michael should have won American Idol. This man is truly talented. He has great soulful raspy voices. I didn't know he was comming out with a album, well be waiting for its debut.

[kinziewriteslove]

1. David Cook

2. Michael Johns

3. Carly Smithson

[bloobla32]

[KatieJayne11]

carly smithson, david cook, david archuleta and of course michael johns..

i was so dissapointed that arly and mj were voted off so early, they were definitly my favourites..

both really talented..

foreigners ROCK!:)

[larelize]

ahm....top 4?

better version:

1.David Cook

2. Michael Johns

3. Carly Smithson

4. David Archuleta...c=

[hattiehedgehog]

I completely agree that is my top 4 although i not sure who i like more michael or david C. I did originally want michael to win so i guess him but david cook great too and deserved to win

[iluvmuzic]

the ONE and ONLY...and there will NEVER BE ANOTHER MICHAEL JOHNS!!

I also saw him on the AI tour...need I say more?:)

[MUSICROX83]

I love the way he talks.

[chrysstallina]

I love this song! Michael John's was great! Top 4:

1. David Archuleta

2. Michael Johns

3. Carly Smithson

4. David Cook

These four were DEF the best this year! =)

[8Lucinda8]

oh hey sis LOL yeah the feelings mutual! =D

Archie ftw no doubt, best vocals of the season

Michael johns = INCREDIBLE

Carly def went too early =)

Cook was pretty talented

[shaka055]

agree with both of y'all!

Carly-> one of the best vocalist to ever be on idol..that girl was robbed! she's a star.

Archie-> so cute, talented and just incredible performer..very inspirational.

Michael Johns-> amazing man. this guy has all the attributes of a star.

Cook-> took the risks and it paid off..one of the best to ever be on idol.

[larelize]

David archuleta's just cute but not so talented,dude... I'm still for michael johns, david cook and jason castro...

[kasia251978]

simply the best...

[kasia251978]

the simplest description about Michael and his voice... simple the best!!!!!!

[spiceupfury5]

oh my gosh i was at the 2008 tour and this was amazing live

[mkr88lm]

he's amazing. i love the live version better but this is great too :)

[ScarlettRhiannon]

I met him at a meet 'n greet last week. He was very nice and down to earth. He was so cool I just wanted to hang out with him for a while! LOL. David Cook (sorry to break the news) was very rude and unfriendly. That was a BIG disappointment. I couldn't believe it. I was a huge DC fan until that little encounter. He can kiss my butt now.

But MJ ROCKS!

[Kendra86]

What? What did he do?

[Qcloud9]

Yes!...

Yes you can!!!...

Yes!

[swimmer1023]

dolly loved this <33333 i loved it more!!!!!!!!!!!

[lovrascal]

He made Dolly Proud. She loves it and she loves HIM. She wants to write for him and sing with him. So Ha!!

[butterfly1405]

wonderful voice!

[dleah1969]

he just aint in it with DOLLY

[KickAssBluegrass1]

Brilliant, you made Dolly proud and I am proud of you!! Canada loves you MJ..

[iltanail]

he should have won

[hugglesMcBuggles]

Yes definatly!

[greendaisy88]

this is cool, but the slower live version he did on the show was so dirty, gritty and sexy that there is no comparison. And tennis has done a body good, have you seen him from behind? Whew, that is some good lookin man!!!!

[lishun]

i totally agree that the version he performed on AI was tonnes better.

[mickeysalazar]

I Don't Think It Was Right To Sing

Dolly Parton's Sonf its not right she sings it better then Michael John.

[GPXgirl]

God, I love this song much.. it's so beautiful, i want to cry..

[hermitmcdermitt999]

FUCK YEAH! Immense aussie talent right there! Doing us fellow aussies proud..

[ABCyborg12]

i was hoping he'd make it to the final 5 at least. so didnt deserve getting voted off ):

[kelbelswell246]

i love love love this song! its even better live!

[mimitinkboo]

i love this man.he is one of the best. ican't wait untill he has his own cd.

[taifink]

MJ was so good, he left way too soon.

[lionbabe511]

i kinda like the version on t.v. more

but still LOVE LOVE LOVE

[gusjet1]

This guy is a true talent, I hope we see a lot of him in the future. Cook and Castro were also very, yes and archie too. What a season for American Idol. the best ever. There won't another one this good, I don't think anyway.

[hattiehedgehog]

He is so great! I will definitely consider getting his CD along with David Cook!

[BillieJeanne777]

i...LOVE him!!!!

[kimmiesmith73]

I love his version of that song...he is AMAZING!!! Great voice and not too bad on the eyes either! :)

[MissJackieOlsen]

He was so good that week I was in total shock; It was too brilliant. Of course I know he's naturally amazing (and hott).

[m70dcs]

michael definitly should have won this years idol great singer

[ivanangelov1]

He is sooo hot, such a sexy voice... Cook and Michael are the only ones that I really enjoyed...

[pbernotasJ]

Totally agree! The competition version was much much better!!

[iltanail]

who wrote this song?

[boots2137]

dolly parton i believe :]

[secondevil]

He's got a phenomenal voice. It's so rich and sexy.

[smacri]

Yummers. So hot.

[bofriend]

Awesome montage. Michael Johns is HAWT!

[PinkLemonade8526]

This was my favorite performence of his. I cried so hard when he left! He was my fav guy.

[augustmando]

Michael Jones singing of Dolly Parton's song was much better during the actual competition compared to the studio version.

[michaeljohnslover23]

OH MY GOD! I LOVE HIM! I HATE THAT HE'S MARRIED! hE MAY BE OLDER THAN ME BUT I DON'T GIVE A HOOT! HE WILL BE MY FUTURE HUSBAND AND HE WILL GET A DIVORCE FROM HIS WIFE FOR ME! I WILL BE THE NEXT MRS. JOHNS! HA HA JK JK! BUT I REALLY REALLY DO LIKE WAIT I MEAN LOVE! I REALLY DO LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM!

[linseyharrison]

This version is okay, but the live version was MUCH better. Very sexy!

[angelismyp]

By the way, my daughter knew I was kidding with her. She thinks he's cute too. He really did deserve to win in my opinion though. I hope he will keep singing and really go places. He can with that voice of his and those looks if that's what he wants.

[angelismyp]

He is so hot and sexy! It's ashamed he is married. Sure wish he were my husband!! He has a beautiful voice also. I love his singing and he should have been "The American Idol" !!! I will just dream that he's my husband. I told my daughter that he was my husband but not to tell her daddy !!

[RussField]

This is fantastic.

[palasluna]

he is awesome, he suppose to be in the top3

[tolleck]

Why did he have to get voted off so early? I think he could have won if you chose the right songs.

[haydenpanettiere501]

hes married =[

[a2z95]

i know! he's soooooooo hot!!!! plus he's almost 30...even worse!

[haydenpanettiere501]

Gorgous/Hot/ hes married and way to old for me..(im 16)

Im sad!

[bellabana]

I liked the live bluesy rendition better, but this just proves that Michael can sing any style of music. Unlike David A and Cook, who sound the same every week not matter what song they sing, they are so bland and boring. It is such a pity we didn't get to hear Michael sing his versions of Mariah Carey, Andrew Lloyd Weber and Neil Diamond songs.

[agnesmoorhead]

The production on this sucks but Michael John's voice is still incredible. He and Carly left way too soon.

[culverapex]

I love Michael Johns, I really do, but this version doesn't have the same soul as his AI performance. This one is overly produced, comming off 'pop-y'.

[huskerscrapper]

This is such an outstanding recording. I want him to do this type of album. I would buy it in a heartbeat!

[mimitinkboo]

i luv mj. i wish he would have stayed. i think could have won.

[charlyenance]

Have to say... I'm a guy and I still get goosebumps when I hear this. O_O Is that a little fruity?

[tylerm54321]

same here

[keannaberezowski]

hehe.....fruit XD nice term :P

[charlyenance]

cool, I didn't want to be the only one^^

sorry I have not commented sooner bean busy.

[JulieMileyRox]

UR HOT! lol i love this guy!~

[Lindotwo]

Michael has GOT to put this song on an album. It is beyond sexy. I love the guitar and arrangement too.

[tclover88]

Everyone probably think he's going to win anyway so no one vote for him :) Hahaha I'm so shocked when he went home. I should have vote for him if I knew. He's an amazing singer. Luv ya MJ!!

[haydemunch]

he was amazin that week. changed my mind about him. god knows why he went home so early, he shouldve been there longer than brooke, carly, kristy...

[lilypotter66]

He's great!

I think Jason should have been gone before him. And Michael should have been in longer than Kristy.

[potcfanatic]

Holy shit this is amazing.

[MissJackieOlsen]

I think that Brook should have gone that week or Kristy Cook (cause i like Jason ;) )

[MissJackieOlsen]

He really should not have gone that early. If he had stayed than chances are that he would have stolen all of Cookies fans. (plus he's hot)

[loretitto23]

i still cant believe hes gone and jason castro is still on the show...

[desperatebrix]

this guy culd have been the biggest threat to david cook's victory..but either way..luv them both!

[jesseauspitz]

this is so hot. lol.

[kcloud88]

OMG!! Michael Johns is soooooo hot!!!! His voice is soooo sexy!!!!

[rYiOkUn]

THIS WAS MY ABSOLUTE FAV MJ SONG!!! XDDD I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I'm SO buying his CD as soon as he releases one. X3

[shawubble]

sexy papa johns

[shawubble]

in studio and on stage he sounds the same great

[slovertaker]

i thought its gonna be cook-johns in finals... but mj ws eliminated,, they r both gr8

[fwai2hk]

Love the way he sang. Love this song. Why itunes is not available in HK?????

[seaside48]

The best Idol contestant! Love his voice and he isn't bad to look at!!!!!!

[smileymiley123]

I KNOW AE,

He is a REALLY good looking guy.

Finally someone else thinks he is good lookin, soo many people r sayin he is WAY ugly. Too bad he is way older than me *crys*

DAMN YOU AMERICA, You Just Lost Yourselves a REALLY talented guy.

[LaurAsh988]

Michael is VERY good looking. Who can deny that?!

[smileymiley123]

Haha true.

He will go far though

[amieamie12]

lol at 0:39 david cooks buttgettin rubbed in the middle of ramieles back hahahaha

[sdmahr]

Micahel, this was my favorite song you did on A.I. I Bought it and play it ALL the time. What a GREAT SONG!!! YOU ARE THE AMERICAN IDOL!!!

[evegpt]

the love version was more blue...at least the music was...

[ziina92]

wow great!

[juliewoodruff]

WOW no kidding that was a greate video.. well done and thank you

[Juliancth]

[bibibites]

[DuffyLew91]

I want one of those t-shirts from the video!

[Roozoon]

fav performance this season :)

[BEWD1393]

love him, love him!!! there couldnt be a better singer on american idol and i cant believed he was voted off so soon. he is way better then some that are still on the show. hope he makes many records in the future!!

[luvsrock]

I'm disappointed in this studio version. The live was so incredible and full of emotion. LOVE HIM ANYWAY!

[athousandstrats]

I like the live arrangement better, but this is awesome too.

[dudegirl409999]

hate to agree with rufflekingkidding but i have to its right.

[rueffingkidding]

okay don't yell at me but I don't like this as much as the live version! He sounded SO amazing when he sang this live! This studio version has takin all the blues and the gritty, emotional, sexiness out of it!!!

[schrotberger87]

I.

LOVE.

THIS.

SONG.

Rock on Michael!!!

[vinnyhuey]

i miss him so much i hope he'll make an album

[jesh3]

this makes me cry..

[SophieBaiLei]

I could listen to him all day!!!!!!!

[lebrooks]

this man is a musical genius. check out "ode to michael johns" video

[latinapeacechick]

I'm going to miss him so much!!! I will miss his performances! I hope he releases an album...

[dp2882]

Is he the only person alive who sounds better live than in the studio version?

[latinapeacechick]

jason mraz

[dtones520]

None of the Idol people ever sound very good on the idol recordings of songs. I dont know why, but I have never heard one of the idol contestants sound as good as they do live on the studio recordings.

[lilacwinter]

I think he sounds awesome no matter what... live just a plus because he looks so good. ;)

[purchai]

I was so surprised when he left; he was one of my favorites! I mean, he hasn't even been in the bottom 3 recently, so it's like bam!

[MelroseVintage]

Who cares if he can sing ...he is so pretty to look at lol

[aq1q]

all u think about?

He is an freaking amazing singer.

[MusikLuvrToo]

Very nice! I'll miss Michael - never dreamed he'd be gone tonight.

[lavender1960]

PS And I love MJ

[Roethlisberger723]

amazing!!!! michael johns rocks!!! what program did u use to make the video??

[latenightalumna]

@terribleimpulse: yeah, definitely. the live arrangement was more stark, stripped down, really showcased his raw emotional delivery, and the texture of his voice. it was like a good slug of bourbon, whereas the studio version has no edge or vitality to it, like watered down beer.

[terribleimpulse]

The alcohol comparison amuses me-- and you're absolutely right :)

[ibleet]

His best performance by a mile.

[terribleimpulse]

Good stuff. I prefer the instrumental accompaniment from his live performance though, the electric guitar was more fiery and fit the song better.

[lavender1960]

I agree, they used piano and electric guitar and judicious use of the backup singers

in the live performance, made it all more sexier because it was starker

Melissa Etheridge did a cover of I Will Always Love You and she did something similar, an electric guitar line vs her voice and maybe one other instrument, maybe drums and it sounds so cool

here is country guitar and keyboard, keyboard?

what next the keytar?

good analogy bourbon vs watered down beer

[dazrock89]

such a sexy voice...

[mamamelody]

Gifted and even if he doesn't win American Idol he will be very successful as a recording and live performer.

The Aussies have it going on...
