    Fox LA

    Great recap MJ.

    Aww, what a sweetheart MJ is. The news anchors cracked me up with their MJ lust (even the guy had a huge mancrush!)

    God, he’s so pretty.

    Yep, those Fox LA girls are crazy over Michael. “Are you dating anyone?” LOL

    MJ is such a class act.. He really is such genuine guy.

    I knew he was going to do soul again next week for Mariah. He would have killed it. He just mixing things up to be interesting.

    He said it himself… he is a rock soul singer. He likes to do both. I am proud of him for sticking with his song choice. ANd he really can rock too. When he sang his swan song I thought I was looking at a rock star right there.

    I really really hope he gets a great record deal after all of this. I am sick to mys tomach having to see him deal with this unjustified boot.

    Whatever Michael. You keep going! I know you will definitely have a great future.
    Can’t wait for your album!

    PS: I am still crying from time to time. Sorry.

    Amen sister. Amen.

    Awww, great interviews. He has a great attitude. Can’t wait to see him on tour. I’ll definately check out his post-Idol music.

    Maracaibo–I’m still crying form time to time too!

    Michael’s amazing!

    Great interview post show from Michael.

    Apparently Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman and Dolly Parton called Michael this morning to tell him how much they enjoyed his performances.

    maracaibo, even though most people hated him, I felt this way when Constantine got the unjustified boot 3 years ago. I’m still not over it! Take it easy this weekend!

  11. 11 Trina Apr 11th, 2008 at 4:31 pm

    Oh. My. God. He was going to sing Vision of Love next week? Excuse me while I go sob in a corner :-(

    MJohns - the one who will have songwriters lined up to write for him. He’s Australian and there could be movies for him too, since Aussie is a big movie kingdom. Nothing is guaranteed for the remainers. I’m sorry yawl, but I see coffeehouse for Jason and Brooke (repeat repeat repeat).

    And let’s not forget private event parties, which pay a whole lotta money$$$.

    BTW, does anybody know what happened to Sundance & Sabrina on Motown. Weren’t they supposed to have a duet out? Sorry but Sundance never impressed me as being star quality. I think Sabrina is the one who will work hard to be heard again.

    Oh. My. God. He was going to sing Vision of Love next week? Excuse me while I go sob in a corner :-(

    He was.. Can you imagine how awesome that was going to be? I mean he was going to do his soulfuversionl of the song. That would have rocked. And I am going to miss one great recording.

    Geez.. I am so sad… The world is really unfair. He is such a class act.
    Here’s another interview from EW.

    He is such a class act. That is all.

    the end of that EW interview is tooooo cute

    Ace Young was just on Neil Cavuto’s business show on Fox News Channel giving MJ advice and plugging his cd coming in July. It was short but he basically told him good things can still happen for him; Idol is life changing, yada, yada, yada. It was cute. (He also mentioned his grammy nomination, lol).

  16. 16 thebluemartini Apr 11th, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    He is such a sweetheart! Love the EW interview^

  17. 17 t2 Apr 11th, 2008 at 5:03 pm

    From the EW interview:

    Was Randy right that you should do bluesy soul stuff and not rock?

    I love singing the bluesy soul stuff. It’s totally what my record is going to sound like. But there’s also going to be something you can dance to. And rock. It’s going to be Otis Redding meets the Stones meets INXS.

    Any chance we can get Nigel to let Michael Johns out of his contract early to make this record … like right NOW!!!

    maracaibo, thanks for the link to the EW article. Very classy, indeed.

    Paula hated what Ryan pulled too

    Vision of Love?? Holy Crap!! Is it too soon in MJ’s career to have him appear on results night as a guest?

  21. 21 IGetCranked Apr 11th, 2008 at 8:38 pm

    Just found this by accident:

    MLB

    *goes to watch what Trina posted*

  22. 22 purplesmile Apr 11th, 2008 at 10:58 pm

    I love that EW article. Too bad we won’t be hearing that cool, bluesy Vision of Love. That would have been swoon-worthy. Sigh. It’s been more than 24 since Michael’s boot but I’m still in denial. Another sigh…

  23. 23 bean99 Apr 12th, 2008 at 12:20 am

    Me too, Purplesmile. Vision of Love would have been great.

    I enjoyed the Fox LA interview. Apparently women everywhere are feeling the same pain, even show hosts. Michael does a great job on interviews and comes across as a real sweetheart. We had started to see that on the show along with his goofy side.
