American Idol - Micheal Johns - Dream On

[mustaine566]

simmon is just an arse...Steven tyler is a much better judge



[medanfoto]

For all shit give bad comment.. Can you sing like him at least same.. please appreciate..

[sharonmaclean47]

excellent job

[tpstrat14]

0:57 the end of the word "by" made me puke in my mouth a little bit. DOn't fuckin do that to a classic song, asshole...

[vwiilzboo]

this version is good, but NPH's version is awesome, true story

[Dinka101]

@vwiilzboo yes! he shocked the hell outta me when he hit that note on glee

[GregTheRussian47]

he sang 1 minute of it and the nquality sucked dick

[okush69]

i am against rape, but the replay button had it coming...

[fernandimaugusto]

prefiro o dio



[rainbowsinspain]

Love MJohns. His voice is the ultimate sex. Beats Gokeys version hands down.

[gunny0488]

aussie! <3

[party282000]

Thank god he didn't have steven tyler as a judge (did like him though)

[TravellingMusician]

lovin that electric guitar baby!

[darvon63]

what do mean Aerosmith or Ronnie James Dio? Join a fucking boy band. ish

[Dollfather]

He's awesome but Steven Tyler is ofcourse better

[tomvalerian]

Never listen to the Dio cover before this one...

[56soly]

Reece Mastin is way better at singing this song

[haloiscoolerthencod]

He screamed to early. Not trying to be a troll but its true

[liamlemur]

@haloiscoolerthencod they have to cut the song down into a minute and a half...

[markveinot76]

I really liked when he was on the show!! If anyone can pull this song off, they can sing anything literally. That'is one of the hardest songs!!

[haloiscoolerthencod]

His mouth is to small

[marinavila]

I like it a lot...

[ShredWithMe]

I think Neil Patrick Harris beats all....Yes glee is a lame TV show, and yes they do pitch correct everyone's voice. But NPH can actually sing. Game over kids.

[PoeticJustice05]

@ShredWithMe Not to mention Neil Patrick Harris is awesome at everything he does.

[Demaker222]

he s great but steven is much better

[14yormic]

hes pretty damn good, noone can ever sing someones song just as good as them.

[impossible2318]

he screamed to early.. not trollin just sayin. i wasnt ready for the scream that early :/ great singer tho!

[Jaahronmyo]

@impossible2318 Indeed he was 1 "Dream On" Too early.

[98al00an]

Michael Johns is gorgeous. Great singer, Everything in this man is perfect.

[PattonChase88]

He did really good

[debzeppeliniv]

whats funny about these shows they never sing contemporary stuff cos it is SHIT

[joelDQ]

estuvo bien.

[paulapaularaejohnson]

did a great job...your all judging him and comparing him to tyler.....beautiful job on his own!!!

[arslan08091989]

well ths is one the best song to sing but its hard to sing it wth perfection tho like steven tyler..he was out of pitch ...jus sayin

[horseblazer]

i LOVE Micheal Johns!

i wanted him to be in the top 3

[samie1013]

I LOVED THIS PERFORMANCE

screwww the judges

[AceOneOfMyIdols]

He should still be there after this song,he did great!

[Isamar82]

Hell of a great preformance....dream on!

[mizkasihati]

great talent

[laureah21]

Thought Reece MAstin of Australian X Factor did a GREAT job with this song considering he is only 16... hard one I would say



[Ir0nMaidan]

wtf is with him at 1:45 - 1:47 then he screams? wtf

[vegeta1885]

@Ir0nMaidan

listen the original first...

[Ir0nMaidan]

@vegeta1885 obviously ive listened to the original man i listen to it like 100 times a day and im not dissing him im just saying that he should be in order a bit more with the lyrics

[Ir0nMaidan]

wtf was with the order of him singing this song? like yikes at least try and keep it reasonable like he sang it "dream on dream on" then he screams like XD!! not saying it was bad but like it didnt follow through lol

[xisco32]

@Ir0nMaidan Are you serious? lol Ir0nMaidan o.O .I.

[ChristianBChr]

@Ir0nMaidan Dude.. It's how the song goes.. -_-

[Ir0nMaidan]

@ChristianBChr not even close and dont take it so serious man im just saying because in the same line he says dream on then screams listen to the real song man he says it 3 times normal voice and then screams it. yiesh im not stupid

[ChristianBChr]

@Ir0nMaidan Sorry my bad, he DOES say it three times, not two. You got me there :P

But what do you mean "not even close"? It's just One word less -_-

[Ir0nMaidan]

@ChristianBChr lol nothing just saying but alrite man np

[theftbyme]

well the starting sounded very nice..... until the second part of the song it started to sound horrid

[vhector480]

i think he did great , everybody got their of show their art , Aerosmith is Aerosmith

and this guy is being himself !!!!! those that like to criticize show go on stage and sing it!!!!! and let's see what happens!!!!

[meMYSELFandI295]

God, the screaming was awful!!!! Whats up with Paula?? It was nothing infront of real version!! AWEROSMITH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

[666bafos]

they chopped the song in order to fit and that sucks and the song is by aerosmith not Dio he just covered the song

[Junokaii]

omg........... this guy..... is sooooooooooo terrible... I couldn't even finish listening to it... he sucked that bad..... Sounds like.... a bear trying to sing a leopard Sound... I'm so glad that steven tyler showed all these fuckers up...

[RadioAshFM]

@Junokaii Its hard to beat Steven Tyler though, what with those grand high notes he can hit. Tyler is a god damn ROCK GOD.

But yeah...Michael falls flat compared to Tyler.

[ilovedogs780]

OMG HE ISNT AAS GOOD AS TEVEN TLYER BUT HE IS GOOD=)

[TheFunny997]

Oh Gosh no, how awful

[Blkchevy98]

@TheFunny997 Not awful.... just different

[snijkens91]

even the scream part is good ...YOU ROCK!

[guitarman8759]

he did good but the scream was pretty off

[TheIoanna10]

amazing!

[JPDW3072]

Very nice 

[PuppetHands22]

He was doing great. It cant be done like Michael Jackson's Human Nature "Why"

Vocals on Dream On part :D too tough.

[PJAdarsh7]

his 'DREAM ON' scream was not that good but atleast he tried

[DemonLDR]

Should have left the end part out.

[ddavis2354]

it was good, but i think he should have rehearsed it abit more. he was off

[minina1991mix]

he sang amazinggggggggggg ,really amazing and fantasticcccccccc

[vazelos87]

Dio wins all.

[EquestriaDJ]

@vazelos87 Dio doesn't win anything. He allows you to give him stuff.

[RisingOmega]

@vazelos87 , Yep, Dio/malmsteen version is best ever!

[riveralmeyda25]

@vazelos87 You're an idiot, and you don't know about the music. Do you ever listened Steven Tyler singing ''Dream On'' Live? Dio never could shouted like Steven. ;)

[ICONicBoyzFan555]

anyone notice he was kinda...off?

[imrxxn]

ye dream onnn.......... Steven Tyler is good...

[tw0t0n]

that was fail

[joeylenseigne120]

steven tyler wins michael johns fails

[lightinmind]

of cause he can't beat up Steven, since he has smaller mouth.

[TSwift27]

@lightinmind Its "Of Course"

[Th2342000]

awesome version, of course its not steven tyler but its not supposed to be, its a tribiute to steven tyler by him choosing it

[spaghettizetti]

its nothing unless steven is singing no offense

[URSSband]

He fucked the end...

[baguazhang77]

Is everybody bashing these contestants going to be on the show next time to show us all how it is done?

I can't help but guess that the people doing all the criticizing know absolutely nothing about music or performing it, which would make it pretty pathetic that they have the nerve to nit pick other people who are out there actually making music.

We live in a society of spoiled brats, who pick apart everything that everyone else does, instead of considering how they can improve themselves.

[Prophecy1797]

@baguazhang77 You are such a Douche!!

[Xyzzulee]

Of course steven is going to be better... he wrote and sang the song!!!

[pbxmy]

does the description really say "or Ronnie James Dio"?

[98al00an]

@CardCollections... collect your cards with lambert dirty dancing, who is ending each his songs like a he's in labor..

Michael ! Great job! Steven Taylor could be proud of you, because you're giving to his beautiful song a new exiting life.

[weedgnarley]

@98al00an steven tyler**

[alexspfchexa]

Micheal Johns > Nota 7 . 5

Steven Tyler > Nota 1000000000000000000000000000

[theloliful]

well better than steven expect the scream :D nobody can do it

[BrandonSinkovich]

He could have get the high parts right...

[CardCollections]

when you listen to steven tyler, this sounds really bad. i'm not saying he's bad, but his voice is nowhere near big enough to to do this song. james durbin, adam lambert of even casey abrams should have maybe attempted it. or maybe they were smarter than that and thought they couldn't do it either

[sk83ryash]

Stfu 'Dreams are coming true'

The song doesnt even technically circle around dreams hopes and aspirations.

[jaegerbomb1990]

steven tylers is better, but this is decent.

[noeeeeeeeeeee]

he should have become the finalist

[carvindc400]

His performance was great... These 2 idiots don't have a clue... pitch problems? He was near perfect... The woman seems to be the only one with good musical taste... hehe

[gaby47]

nice version of the best rock and roll song ever written by the best rock band to ever exist....it will never compare to steven vocals but nice

[emperorsss]

I love Dio version and This version is OK, too.

[doctorwhomainiac]

way way better thn stevens

[humbertosultan]

@doctorwhomainiac fuck off douche. Respect the classics and shut the fuck up. ohh ,, almost forgot,,,please :)

[vczedi]

they didnt liked him because they dont know what is rock!

[theguyjohn101]

people should never compare a cover to the real song.. nothing will be better then the original song. but comparing this song to other covers.. this is the BEST ive heard

[KnopflerTheofanous]

michael is good enough..... you can also hear nikolas metaxas from the greek x factor just type : nikolas metaxas-dream on..i think his cover is one of the best i've ever heard in a live show..greetinkg from greece..:)

[nimbus1983]

Crap.

[Koutouzi1]

not bad dude 

[kathsmith100]

adam lambert and James Durbin don' t hold a candle to Michael Johns or Steven Tyler.

[TheAndyroo1998]

@domodiLLeta

i agree steven tylers version was the best. it will never be beaten by anyone. it is just legendary

[Luv2Rock333]

i think this song was a LITTLE big for him...he still did good though!! he was one of my favorites in this whole comeptition!! him, david cook and carly smithson!! it was WAYY better than Danny's thought!

[AceOneOfMyIdols]

Can't believe that this song sent him home!:(

[CrazySabertooth]

"This show is about being the best singer." -Randy Jackson

...Scotty winning kinda threw that entire concept out the window.

[ps333222]

spoiler alert country boy wins

[YankeesRock4eva]

NOBODY will be better than Steven Tyler...

[techyourself]

The band at my friend's wedding rocked harder than this.

[Leroy8127]

haha Randy is such a follower xD 

[98al00an]

Fantastic! Lambert? Come on...Have a rest

[TigerBeating]

I honestly dont think that anyone can do a great cover of any Aerosmith song now adays. No one can sing like Steven!

[foutch81]

he needs a bigger mouth to sing that song

[kathsmith100]

Adam Lamber sucks!!!

[MrWalrus121]

there are some songs that you just dont attempt, and this is one of themm

[gothless]

@MrWalrus121 yes you don attempt.. You gotta Ace it... if you can't.. dream on..

[Rawrceo]

still mad he didnt win.

[layzchili]

it was shit , but his voice was good

[shopoholic995]

FANTASTIC ATTEMPT!

[superkellerman8D]

Fucked that shit up. In the bad way. Absolute crap. He's an okay singer, but he really screwed up the song.

[jerryflack4eva]

why does it dio in the discreption

[joeblackspirit]

It's nothing special really...

What the fuck are those screemings that seems its is the bathroom at the end...Horrible.....

Please don't hurt Dio's memory or the Steve's voice

[AERONOOB]

@joeblackspirit lol

[domodiLLeta]

It's not greater than Steven's but it's hell better than Danny's. LOL

[fisherfanatic1]

He isn't near as good as Steven Tyler. ;)

[namey420]

@fisherfanatic1 no1 can sing this like tyler i don't know why any1 would try to redo an aerosmith song steven's voice is just his own no1 can scream it and sing it like him

[funkhauzer]

american idol finale brought me to this video..

[cheatshot26]

Not quite there - just under the note... almost Michael - just not quite.

[nothingreally1234]

this is one of my favorite american idol performances of alllll time

[pazshippuden]

no canta bn don´t like me

[SiUltapz]

Danny Gokey's version was better ... Specially the Screech of death XD

... btw to all of the nonsarcasm speakers... this is sarcasm

[bren57mar]

American dream is dead Michael. You were too good for idol.

[mauripaz12]

acm un pt



[roxville21]

Michael Johns' "Dream On" is one of my all time favorite american idol performances along with Von Smith "You're All I Need", Ace Young's "Butterflies" and Constantine Maroulis "My Funny Valentine."

[s2kman89]

james durbin needs to do this or i will definitely be pissed off

[xxY2JLEDGENDKILLERxx]

@s2kman89 he sang it at his audition...

[nickodemo1]

aweful

[roryisgoed]

english is his native tongue?

[den60adam]

@roryisgoed australian

[senorjiveturkey]

Poor guy got screwed, the back up band sounded like shit

[reedrichards82]

@senorjiveturkey if Aerosmith would've played, then they would've done the whole song like those people are kind of messed up

[Kainosielu]

he should've stayed longer, definetly.

[driverx111]

WOWIE SO GOOD

[sueellen360]

go Steven!

xD

[MyFloridaCracker]

He had to go first, which is the kiss of death and Randy didn't help with his comments. Michael got eliminated after singing this song. 

[Chaserbl]

This is far far faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from Aerosmith, and Dio well, he may look like Tom Cruise but we all know it's mission impossible

[71farhan]

This is no way near to Aerosmith or even Dio's cover.

[veget0010]

@71farhan Are you implying Dio's cover sucks?

[71farhan]

@veget0010 no i am saying this one sucks Dios iis much much better.

[marcozvaca]

82 people arent dreaming on



[rockerchicksuperstar]

You and David Cook was the reason why I watched American Idol that year. I even bought tickets at Us Bank Arena in Cincinnati to see you guys live. I quit watching American Idol like I used to after that year because they pick the same old bull shit sounding singers lol

[dockarnage]

am i the only one that sees Sinbad at 3:25?

[taj334]

Dio and Malmsteen did a better job :D

[FahadOrfali1993]

@taj334 i completely agree

[RapeChoke]

had some bad pitch problems i agree with the first decisions, Hate when fans yell like teenage kids and try to hype it up when it wasn't even close to perfection.

I give it a 5 out of 10

[spartan11036]

@RapeChoke i disagree 8 at least

[hellosaydee]

Michael Johns was and always will be my favorite!

This was by far my favorite season of ai,, i dont watch it anymore..

[khim04steventyler]

@hellosaydee you should watch the season now ! its geat especially steven tyler :)

[hellosaydee]

@khim04steventyler yeah i watch sometimes just for him, lol hes so great ahaha

[ailynmico]

adam lambert shoulda sing this song, he would have been great! james durbin is going to the finals with steven....

[mirGaarasgirl14]

@ailynmico hell yeah!

[peterlol21]

@ailynmico epic fail, both lost noob

[TheGamblersCousin]

Cant wait till James Durbin does this song. Micheal Johns Didnt do it great I mean he did fine, meh..

[TheGamblersCousin]

Cant wait till James Durbin does this song.

[DustinPedroia2008MVP]

the song doesn't have the same appeal, when its shortened like this

[eagles01211]

@DustinPedroia2008MVP its not like they could sing the whole song......

[DustinPedroia2008MVP]

@eagles01211 yea, so he should have picked a different song, i love this song, but i have to listen to the whole thing to really get the feel of it

[wnlcook]

this almost made me hate this song

[fabiantenor]

epic fail

[Baseballmonster7]

this song kicks ass

[98al00an]

Simon, don't make me laugh... Wanna be-sh? Come on... Michael Johns doesn't need to wanna be... He is Michael Johns already.

[everlyredhot]

song : ruined

[MyGunsNRomance]

tyler is better 10000000000000000000000 times

[twobaker11]

Nope. Still can't find anyone to beat my dream scream!

[iannyrockwell]

Adam lambert can do this
