Michael Johns – Man About Town!

My my my. He’s been a busy busy grown up man.

Do you suppose that bit with the Dan Band was all improvised? He’s all kinds of awesome.

Dude, MJ got pwned.

And i have never heard the F-word so many times in one sitting.

That was deff staged.

That is FABULOUS! Oh I laughed out loud at my desk at work! Had to shut my door. I almost snorted salad out of my nose. Remind me not to watch Michael videos while eating or drinking. He is just great. I am a HUGE Cook fanatic, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to stand it when they are BOTH onstage at the same time on the tour! I will probably just pass out from hormone overload and laughter. Just kick ass, mj. Thank you! :clap_tb: Hooray Michael!

I have been a lukewarm Michael John’s fan, but this video is so great! I like seeing his great sense of humor and his voice is definately good. I had not heard of the Dan Band and they are not for the straight laced but they are really funny.

This year’s crop of idols is growing on me – DC and Jason were always my favs but now I am really looking forward to seeing MJ and Archie too. Actually I am looking forward to hearing all 10 of them – just wish I didn’t have to wait until the end of August.

Well, depending on what KLC is singing – that may be a bathroom break lol

I don’t know about the other events, but going by the photos at on Getty Images, he had some AI company at the BET Awards Celebrity Billiards Tournament–Chikeze, Jason, Carly, KLC, and Brooke were all there, too, at least. :smile_wp:

Thanks. I’ll add that info to the post!

That MJ and Dan Band bit is funny and I lurve MJ, but am I too mean to admit I was laughing more at the sight of MJ’s bald spot at the start of the video? Heh. ;p

rereader, I saw those pics a while ago, too. :)

LOVE the Dan Band. I have their CD actually. They also do a rousing version of Alanis Morrisette’s “You Oughta Know.” Awesome.

Good gracious, there must be something wrong with my sense of humor, because I found that all kinds of disturbing. Not funny at all.

If Jason is in ‘em, we’ll see ‘em, purplesmile! :lol_wp:

I usually like MJ’s sense of humor (although I think a steady diet of it would get on my nerves), but I, too, found that video unpleasant, skylight1219. I have no idea why–maybe all the gratuitous f* bombs? Maybe the song choice and the way it was handled? I dunno. I couldn’t hear a lot of it, and didn’t bother trying again.

Sky…i agree. Somethin’ wrong wit me also.
Wasn’t funny to me at all. Found it slightly disturbing as well. But I don’t find the F bomb technique amusing usually. Not shocked,hear/heard worse.. but..well…overdone it seems immature.

MJ rocks! That was so funny.
He was a good sport, he really seems like the kind of friend you want to hang out with. And his voice is still incredible.
Can’t wait to see him on tour.

Yeah, I thought this was the oldest member of the group, not the adolescent boy?? Yikes. But to each his own. Michael didn’t win me any points with that one.

I remember Scott Savol and Jessica Sierra doing Total Eclipse of the Heart on the season 4 tour, and, it was beautiful. The way they dropped the f bomb every other word, in this video, just made the song skanky. IMO

Didn’t like the ‘F’ bombs? I think that was the point — over done, over played, over fucked. And I think it was yet another case of playing to the audience. Dan’s Band groupies probably loved it lots. Not something he’d do with someone like Celine Dion, but, well, that’s not who he was with… man is smart and classy enough (imo) to behave where necessary. Or not.

Good for him.

I must be out in left field if this is supposed to be classy. Sorry I even watched it.

It was HILARIOUS. Michael’s a grown up MAN having fun.
Good for him. Awesome voice as always.

The song isn’t meant to be serious, it’s a parody.

Sorry I even watched it.

I gave fair warning about the F bomb in my post. I posted it for those who might enjoy it, as I did.

ETA: Please address each other with respect. Don’t go LMAOing at your fellow posters, it’s rude.

That was great! Too funny.

Thanks for the vid, mj.

I do not think this was meant to be classy. MJ was cute and funny and a good sport with it all. LOVE the pics of Jason and the rest – good looking group that is for sure.

What I wonder is if anyone has any vid’s of the rest watching MJ and their reactions to it – that would be fun to see also. Were they at the concert too?

I think The Dan Band video was funny. Definitely not for everyone in the AI audience though. I know that their whole schtick is that they only perform songs that were sung by female artists but they insert a lot of swearing in the songs. The only other thing I know is that Dan is married to actress Kathy Najimy. Funny stuff, but yes, rather crude. What do I know though because I like Jack Black’s band Tenacious D. Their stuff is often ultra crude. But often funny, in my opinion.

MJ, I don’t know if you were addressing me with the LMAOing in your post, but, I posted IMO. In My Opinion. Yeah, I know it was posted with a warning, and, yes, I’ve heard worse, but, I just didn’t find it humorous.

Funny clip, have never heard of the Dan band, but I love Kathy Najimy who is one funny lady. The two must be competing with each other at home for the biggest laugh..

MJ seems like the kind of guy that would be easy to hang out with, easy going, a little crude. American idol tends to make everyone seem so sanitized family friendly, it’s easy to assume we know what these people are like in “real life”.

and on another note, my fav comedian forever and ever died last night, funny,dirty, raw, progressive ever funky
George Carlin, RIP George, will miss you…

MJ, I don’t know if you were addressing me with the LMAOing in your post, but, I posted IMO.

No, that was addressed to somebody whose post I edited. Sorry for the confusion.

I said MJ was classy enough to know his audience and behave accordingly. Nothing about his song with Dan was classy — it wasn’t supposed to be. He’d have been totally out of place *at that venue* if he acted like he was playing for the President, that’s all.

Sorry if I offended — I try to be gentle.

That was hilarious. I agree with those who think it was appropriate for the intended audience.

I love MJ and this performance was lol, funny. I love all of the colors of MJ, the sexy soul singer, and the silly, ridiculous OTT comedian. He’s wonderful. Damn, did I just channel Paula with my ‘color’s commentary. Whew! Gotta watch that.

Oh, I got that it was a parody, it just felt a little off to me. However, tastes differ.

that was funny. it seems MJ had a good time and is a fan of Dan Band.

MJ can be hilarious at times. I will bow quietly out of this, since the majority seems to love it.

yeah it was obviously staged but who cares. Funny stuff. I laughed out loud. I actually liked this more than his after-idol press routines which were starting to grate. He seems more in his element here.

I thought it was hilarious and MJ came off like a good sport and a cool guy with a sense of humor about himself. (In honor of George Carlin, I will simply say that F-bombs don’t bug me and leave it at that.)

(In honor of George Carlin, I will simply say that F-bombs donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t bug me and leave it at that.)

I think it’s been well established in chat that the f word is by far one of my favorites LOL. And, RIP George, you hysterical mother fucker you.

So yeah, I thought this clip was quite hilarious. But, I have complete respect for the opinions that are offended by the word. We all have our hot buttons that creep us out. Mine as you could tell the other day by the intro at the Pride Festival, are crude sexual comments thrown at women. But the “f” word? Will make me laugh like a 12 year old boy.

My moral compass makes no sense, and I’m totally okay with that.

Yes, I thought it was funny and I wanted to say George Carlin was one of my favorites too – May he rest in peace and as he said:

“The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider freeways , but narrower viewpoints.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, LAUGH TOO LITTLE, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired,
read too little, watch TV too much , and pray too seldom.

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
going to be around forever.

. Remember, to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but
most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes
from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person
will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the
precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments
that take our breath away.”

Sorry if this is not ok to put here but it looked like a few loved him too and the bit that MJ did sure does remind of the types of thing George Carlin did and so even if you say the dirtiest things you are not always a “dirty” person?.

It was fun for him, I’m sure. The language doesn’t bother me, but, I hated Dan’s voice & delivery (MJ sounded fine). I couldn’t last more than one song at their show.

I thought it was funny although probably couldn’t sit through much of the Dan Band. Nice to see Michael let down his hair. I have a feeling there was some alcohol involved, lol.

Love The Dan Band. Love Michael Johns. The both together dueting on “Total Eclipse?” Fucking genious and all kinds of awesome.

I may be wrong but I think a lot of people do not seem to understand that the Dan Band is a music AND comedy act and that song is supposed to be done that way so Mr. Johns was merely singing the song as “written” by the Dan Band and I thought it was F**king hilarious. Archie can be G rated, Cookie can be AA [in Ontario we have an Adult Accompaniement category] and MJ can be R or NC-17, fine by me.

And yeah, props to George Carlin, sniff. I saw him just last year and even I gasped a few times, as he delved into new comedic areas of the profane, Georgy was pushing the comedy envelope still after all these years.

Being overseas, the Webà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s my only option. This is my first time to comment here (and likely my last)

Oh. most definitely your last.
