46. So what if the guy didn't tip? I'm just glad this news is supposed to be the bad stuff TMZ get on this guy... :)
Michael is an amazing person and singer. And that's why all the other contestants, judges and fans LOVE him...
He's the coolest guy and a FABULOUS singer. Looking forward to his CD coming out!
LOVE YA MJ!

49. This D Bag has lived in America now for a pretty long time (at least five years... maybe ten). He should know to tip.

50. 'Tip' is a foreign language in Australia....its just not part of the culture and comes very un-natural to us.....Aussie's love American tourists for this reason....

51. Shame on you TMZ!!! How do you know whether he tipped or not, you did not show us all of the video, so anything could have happened. You may not have seen the whole exchange. Is this all TMZ does???To try to get "dirt" on people that don't deserve it! This man has done nothing to be ashamed for...great, talented guy, the whole package!!!

52. Leave Michael alone. He is an amazing singer and is better than the whole stupid American Idol thing!

55. This guy is so hot and can sing What a big mistake to let him off AI. I don't know what some people where thinking as there are a few whom should have left weeks ago. He will make it bigger then the one that wins just like chris doughtry did!! i can't wait for him to come out with something he is a good investment. Go Michael!!!

57. Michael has been in the states for ages. More likely it is the we are a non cash society thing. My hair salon just put up a notice of no more tipping on cards or checks. I had no cash, left the place with every intention of finding an ATM. Then I got a call from my husband and walked directly to the car without going back because of still being on the phone. I apologized and doubled up for her the next time. Parking is another thing, special events, I forget cash. Anything you are not in the habit of doing can be ripe for this type of thing. He's been holed up for the show for months now, he's still getting his head wrapped around this AI Fame. Personally, I know hide some fives in my wallet, for emergencies, except last time I forgot I had them. umph...

58. The fact that Michael Johns got "voted off' PROVES that this show has NO MERIT in doing what it purports to do: finding the most talented and marketable singer out of the large number of applicants. I wish him WELL, and will buy his CDs when they most certainly are released!! Even better, I hope to see him frequently on TV or the big screen!

59. Where WE come from, Australia, people actually get paid of LIVING WAGE. And tipping is out of the ordinary. Its a big world out there, remember - we're not all living the the way of the great U. S of A....

60. Jason's performance was a joke. For those are old enough to remember Tiny Tim playing the uke singing tiptoe the tulips.....deja-vu??
