"I Won't Wait" - Michael Johns Video.

"I Won't Wait" with Michael Johns and The Rising. This is just one of the many unreleased hits Michael has recorded in the past. I can't wait to hear his new album "Hold Back My Heart", which hits the shelves June 23rd. (This is an UNOFFICIAL fan video).

Michael Johns On MTV News - Video

MTV News correspondent Jim Cantiello interviews Michael Johns (American Idol Season 7 Finalist) and Joel McHale (The Soup) on the red carpet for American Idol Season 8 Finale. It's such a blast just watching the two of them banter back and forth promoting each other shamelessly with mutual respect. The MTV correspondent's job was made easy as Michael and Joel took over the spot while he stood there and watched his "man crushes".

Anyone that follows Michael's Twitter already knows he's a fan of The Soup. Here's his Twitter quote from a few weeks ago regarding the subject in general.

I mean catching up with a best friend then coming home to watch the soup! Is there anything better?

Joel McHale has a new show coming out on NBC titled Community and says Chevy Chase is co-starring in the new series. It sounds hilarious already!  They talked a bit about the show and Michael gave an impromptu audition by exhibiting his fabulous Aussie humor.

How exciting it must've been for him to announce on MTV News that his album set for a June 23rd release. Most all of his fans already know that, but there's just something about MTV that makes music news seem huge! You can pre-order the album Hold Back My Heart from Amazon.com now! Joel McHale is quoted as saying he's 'Excited' to buy Michael's new album, but I've already ordered mine if that tells you anything. :P

His debut single "Heart On My Sleeve" is climbing the charts now and can be purchased at Amazon.com or iTunes today. My thanks to I Heart Pizza for bringing news of the video! Happy Birthday goes out to her too! I should feel bad since it's her birthday and she brings me a gift.

Next time I mention MTV News, I hope it's in reference to a Michael Johns video to go along with his new release. :D

All Campus Idol

Presented by the Blair Beinhaker Friendship Foundation
Capitol Theater, Overture Center: 7 – 9 p.m.

Soulful bellowing? We got that. High notes? For sure. A fellow students’ rendition of “Man, I Feel Like a Woman”? We hope not, but we’re not making any promises.

Ten contestants will compete, but only one will walk away with twice as many Facebook friends…

This will be a little different than the American Idol from TV. The MadHatters will be there to keep it classy and unlike the television show, all our judges giving feedback will be sober and Ryan Seacrest isn’t invited. Our contestants may not be famous singers quite yet—but it’s not like you’re Simon Cowell, so it works out. After the show you control the destiny of 10 other people when you text in your vote; enjoy the two-minute power trip.

The winner will open for a nationally recognized artist at the Blowout Concert! So, if you belong on the stage and not in the audience, audition to perform and bring down the house with your talent! Maybe your pickup broke down and your huntin’ dog died. Write a country song about it and sing at All-Campus Idol. The potential is limitless…

Audition information and registration is available here. (Auditions are over).

Please forgive me everyone. I just needed a really good giggle today. Happy April Fool's Day!

Michael Johns in Madison!
It’ll all work out….
…when planning an event, stress is inevitable. Whether you are contacting hundreds of people, flyering your entire town, or dealing with way too much drama, event planning can be overwhelming!
As the days go by and the countdown continues though, sometimes everything seems to fall into place.
Today is March 31st- just three weeks prior to All-Campus Idol 2009. And… the event coordinator may just be able to breath a sigh of relief and let out a squeal of excitement.
Auditions are now over and the Top 10 finalists (although a secret,) have been chosen!
And…the special guest, American Idol Alum and sole Aussie contestant, Michael Johns has been confirmed as a judge and performer too!
You see… if you believe, and put enough effort in- it’ll all work out.
