Michael Johns Wuz Robbed
I can’t believe he got eliminated on American Idol!!!!! WTF!???? He’s such a big talent and good-looking too. I’m just so insanely upset..because he’s one contestant that I thought WILL NOT be eliminated tonight. Anyone but him! It was his very first time in the bottom three and he got eliminated. Arghhhhh such BLASPHEMY!!! WTF are people like Kristy Lee Cook still doing on the show??? I have never felt so disappointed since Clay Aiken lost the crown to Ruben Studdard back in Season 2. Sigh. Soooooooo unfair. Disgusting. Even the crowd and judges were stunned into silence. Such is life. The show is rigged. Michael Johns did soooooo well on the iTunes chart…way above others like Syesha Mercado..so how can he possibly lose? The only possible reason to counter this is that those fans who were motivated into paying $0.99 for a Michael Johns song can’t be bothered to vote for him. That is just absurd. BAH! His elimination performance was enough to prove why he should not have been eliminated. And I am very disappointed with Ryan Seacrest’s lack of grace while announcing the results. He was being a complete douchebag. What’s worst is that he did it in a week so hyped up by the media - “Idol Gives Back”. There was really no reason for him to be so mean. And so, after such a shocking ouster, an inevitable question remains: why? Why was Michael Johns ejected from the Idoldome when he was a fixture in many “Idol” forecasters Top Three lists? Why was Michael Johns eliminated on a week when his performance was nowhere near the worst of the evening? In other words, why him? Why now? Why ever? All along, Michael has been a strong individual and a consistent performer. In fact, he hasn’t had a single weak moment in the time we’ve known him — and that was his undoing. America thought Michael didn’t need their help. And so they focused on the others. …. And then there was Michael Johns. There was an ease about Michael from the start. He was cool long before “Idol” stylists got their hands on him. He sounded good, and he looked even better. According to Simon, he was even a “very, very nice guy.” Unfortunately for Michael, Michael had it all. He never lost his voice, he was never rushed to the hospital, and we never saw him cry. With stats like that, what did he need us for? Michael seemed to be doing just fine, and so nobody fought to keep him. Had he just shown his frailty by slipping on a strategically placed banana peel during a group number, or by totally bombing during Tuesday’s performance, we would have come to his rescue. Unfortunately for Michael, however, he didn’t bomb on Tuesday. And so America clapped for Michael, their favorite cool guy, and texted in their votes for their most fragile favorite instead.
