Michael Johns Eliminated from American Idol

Even though the show didn’t air until Thursday night, that didn’t stop Michael Johns from being eliminated from American Idol. The Australian singer, once considered a contender to win the contest, was sent packing in front of a shocked crowd, many of whom booed the decision. The other members of the bottom three were Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson.

I HATE RYAN SEACREST

No-talent Ryan Seacrest started off the elimination proceedings by directing the first five contestants to the safety couches. This left only the bottom three. He then let everyone know that Mercado and Smithson were safe, but followed it up with, “Last year, we didn’t eliminate anyone during the ‘Idol Gives Back’ week….”

A hush fell over the crowd, waiting for the next words from the insanely grinning hack,

“…but Michael Johns leaves us tonight.”

Here’s hoping that Seacrest’s already-too-long career comes to an end in the same manner. But I digress.
