God....I love U very much MJ!! Why the voters so...so...so....stupid, sorry but it's the true thing. MJ has the whole package, he has a big voice, charismatic, mature, humble, good looking n also sxy accent. Can't wait to buy his album. To be a famous star doesn't have to be a winner of AI, right??? Remember Daughrty??? Well, all the best for him... Go...MJ...Go... We'll always love u....

This was the worst decision that was made yet. Michael Johns has the sexiest, most soothing sound I have heard in a long time. I'm 63 years old and would love to listen to his CD when it comes out because I know he will be a star in his own right. Not bad to look at either!

He's gorgeous, wonderful voice, humble presentation. He should have been this year's idol. Do not agree with the voting procedure.
i KNOW YOU WILL BE A GREAT HIT.

I get tired of Ryan saying that people are voted off due to the lack of voting for their favorite.I believe that the text messaging is taking over the phone calls and not all of us text in our votes.Phone calls should be the only way to vote.I think ia ctually felt my heart break when it was announced that Micheal Johns was the one being sent home.

I have come to the conclusion that American Idol is a farce as far as being fair. There is something very suspicious about the " voting system " and the winner is not the best singer. I,personally,will never watch American Idol EVER again because it is,in my opinion " rigged " How else can anyone explain why there are people with little talent still left, and Michael is gone, who had the most talent and star quality? I'm sorry but the public is not that stupid. What happened to Taylor Hicks?? Chris is the best performer from that year and he was voted off. Doesn't that speak volumes about the way this show is run?? I think this showscredibility is tainted forever.

Hi Ellen,

Thanks so much for giving Michael's fans the opportunity to see him again. The man's an incredible talent!

Posted by Sharon | April 18, 2008 4:37 AM

Thanks Ellen, can't wait to see MICHAEL on your show. He's such an amazing artist... :)

Posted by Mary | April 18, 2008 2:06 AM

Ellen ,
It's great you're giving all the Michael John fans another chance to see him.He was wrongly ousted off of American Idol.He was by far the most talented.The viewers were dissapointed to see the "Great"talent eliminated while the less talented remain on week after week.

This guy is a sweetheart! How can Castro, Brooke, and Syesha sound better than Johns????
Micheal has a great future ahead of him; and I can hardly wait to see him on your show. HE is eye candy. His voice takes one to the clouds!

Posted by MJsupporter!!!!! | April 17, 2008 1:16 PM

Gerrie, oh no, it´s froggy, I forgot... I don´t wake up at night, too, beause if you are outside each day with a dog and keep the eyes closed in bed, you can sleep. I appreciate your country not only because of wooden shoes and so on, it is because of yoghurt with fruits and the wonderful panekokenhuis......
Cia, I had the second Grappa. I love Italy, italian people and the products of the country very much, too.

Schlafe gut, hear from you?

Posted by Berliner Mädel | April 17, 2008 12:54 PM

Kwwak, kwaak,today I am such a poor girl...suffer. Froggy, I had to work until now without any possibility to write you. To me Ellen is more beautiful than Ms. Ferrara. Women always conquer my heart with humor and an open view, like Ellen and Jodie. Have you done everything? Are you curious what will happen in the show with David Beckham? I must admit, that I am full exited what will happen with Ellen...will she show her tattoo? Does she have a little frog in her neck? I thought about to have a little frog somewhere when I was 26 years old, only a few years ago (big joke!).Funny, that your code is froggy now - karma? This was a nice theme in the past made by Ellen. By the way, I was looking wether Berlin has a restaurant and a service by handcapped people. I found out, we have it. Sometimes I hink, we have everything,but we don´t have your wonderful sea and beaches, not your wonderful bicycle ways and not as much tolerance as you have in your country. Do live open with a woman, froggy? I am sure, you do. Unfortunately I cannot do so everywhere, because I would loose to much influence for getting that what I need for helping people. Tell me what you want, but I must say, that I enjoy to read something from you, because it became a funny ritual - looking for some news by you. Grüße and grootjes to the village close to Rotterdam and to you and your dogs. I will have a Grappa now, want some?
