American Idol contestant Michael Johns has admitted that he was shocked after he was ousted from the singing competition this past week.
He spoke to reporters on Friday, stating that “I would be lying to say I wasn’t shocked.”
He stated “I hadn’t been in the bottom three and I thought definitely the last two to three weeks have been my strongest. But we’re in this competition and stuff can happen and it did.”
He also commented on his song choice, stating it was “amazing” to sing Dream On by Aerosmith.
When asked if he had regrets about the song choice, he stated “Absolutely no regrets at all, mate.”
When asked about Simon, he commented by stating “I respect his opinion, but he wanted me to sing that soul/blues stuff, like, every week, but you can’t. I’m a rock/soul singer, I like to do both genres so I wasn’t just going to necessarily pan toward what the judges said.”
We will have to see how the upcoming week goes for Idol, and if we have another shocking elimination.
