Michael Johns: The Stiff From Down Under

61. 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....

63. Thats funny how if that were a black guy not tipping all yall would have been talking negative abut how black people never tip, but you have this white guy, who's really a nobody, that didnt tip yall make excuses for him. Now how is that fair? I always tip and i'm black, I even tip at Sonics.

64. They don't normally tip in Austrailia...so..don't be so hard on him..not used to it I guess

65. When I first moved to Australia from the UK I tried to tip someone and he was extremely offended that I was patronising him for doing his job. If American employers paid a proper wage to their staff there wouldn't be all this nonsense.

67. Quit blowing it out of proportion. Most men don't carry cash. Credit or Debit cards. I know My son doesn't. He is always thanking and genuine personality. Remember Last season men voted off early and made it big. I know he will. Ryan should be voted off after the way he acted. If last year you allowed no one to be voted off because of Idol gives back then you should do the same this year. He rubbed it in his face. Go Michael.

70. I'm an avid Am.Idol fan and I must say that I was completely shocked when Mike was voted off the show last week. In my opinion as well as many others, that choice was certainly a very bad one. I'm almost positive many people were trying to get their votes registered but couldn't through. However Mike should consider this a relief. Many record producers have heard his wonderfully unique voice and I'd bet my next year's tax return that within one month (if that) his phone is going to be ringing off the wall. I think Mike is one of the sexiest charismatic men I've seen in a long time. His wife sure is a very lucky lady. I must say however that when they booted Mike it really made me wonder how that could've happened, That was the biggest shock ever in all the years I've been watching the show. I tried to call in my vote for last nights performances but never did get through. How does that happen? I started calling at 8:00pm and cont'd til a bit after 10:00pm and still never got to vote. I'm wondering if that's what happened with Mike. It's really pretty unfair. They always say vote vote vote for your favorite Idol but yet you can't get your vote posted. What's up with that? It's ridiculous!! One last comment==Mike if I were you I wouldn't be too down about being off the show because now you'll definately have a big time record deal and make lots of moola here very soon and the greatest thing about it is you won't have to do any Idol promotional bs. It'll all be about you and your beautiful sexy music. I look very forward to seeing your music in stores everywhere. PS If your wife ever tosses you overboard look me up . Barbara with Jack Miller Subaru in KCMO.Best of luck to ya.

71. Not only has american Idol kicked the wrong gye off, but our media should be stopped from this kind of haressment. Micheal jihn is not only talented but will prove then wrong if he will just keep on. he has a very good voice.
The one that is still there with the long hair should have already been gone or told to clean up his act, his appearance is not that of a idol, nor really is his voice.

72. MICHAEL JOHNS IS THE BEST SINGER THAT WAS ON AMERICAN IDOL.!! TO BAD PEOPLE LET THIS HAPPEN. THIS ISN'T A TALENT CONTEST ANYMORE IT IS ABOUT THESE SILLY SCREAMING GIRLS VOTING FOR THE NO TALENT ONES. I MEAN JASON, AND DAVID ARGUETTA.!!!!

74. I think this other man has paid for Michael.Don't you think

75. Michael told the guy he didn't have any cash. You people get all over people for the stupidest things. I love love love Michael's voice and think he's a great singer. He should be in the finale this week, not little Archiebot. Michael's looks and accent don't hurt him either. ;)
