Michael Johns sang a few lines from a new song at the AI Live after party in Atlantic City, NJ Saturday night. That guy can sang

Warning: The video is sideways. But, you’ll get the picture. The fan was from michaeljohnsonline.

Check it out after the jump…

    I love Michael’s voice, I look forward to hearing more new music from him. His sound is definitely one I can see in rotation on my mp3 player.

    I wish some of the Idols this season would collaborate on writing music together, I heard that some did in S5, which I find pretty cool.

    Ummmm…Michael Johns, give me an album full of that, and I’m SO buying it!

  • http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=84731174 purplesmile

    I’m totally buying, as well, Michael!

  • kathrynTX

    Yep if he continues in that vein, I’m buyin’ it too! I liked his voice on Idol and I still like it. I really like when he does the bluesy/rock thing, like IAWBIAR and this little tease he just gave us. I think I’d like some harder rocking tunes too from him. Thank you, MJ, for the preview! And thank YOU mj, also.

    OMG, this is his niche. Robin Thicke sold tons of cd of what was supposed to be ‘blue eyed soul, but he does not have the vocal chops of Michael Johns, nor the soul. If Michael Johns does this type of stuff, I am so on it. I think many more will be too.

  • ealbino

    He just sold me :clap_tb:

    That was all kinds of awesome. Left me wanting MORE. Thanks for posting, mj!

  • Jul

    OMG, I was freakin out when I found this video last night!! Eeeee, MJ release that single right now!!

  • sabby_rina

    He had me at “Hello folks” *swoons*

  • Lisa

    I will buy a cd of that!

    BTW… Someone has now converted the video on the MJ website to upright, in case anyone wants to see it normally.

  • wjmtv

    Damn. Sign me up too.

  • http://www.myspace.com/gwendolyndiane GwendolynD

    Okay…I won’t watch it again.

    And, I forgive him for saying he should have finished fourth….

    So there.

  • dante

    I am not a big MJ fan, but I so liked this song – and I love the Mavid dances. I would totally buy this kind of music from him and I have to admit he is pretty cute. But I don’t forgive him for saying he should have finished fourth…..

  • AInoob

    What did I miss? He said he should have finished fourth?

    Oh, no. It never happened.

    Sorry I brought it up….

  • AInoob

    LOL, I feel like the kid no one wants to sit at their table :laugh_tb:

    But truly, wherever he feels he should have finished in the season’s lineup, I think him being booted when he was turned out to be quite a boon to his career. I only hated having to hear him mention in *every* interview about his shocking elimination.

  • Lisa

    Oh, no. It never happened.

    Sorry I brought it upà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.

    See what happens when you step out of the rehab doors? :laugh_tb:

  • http://myspace.com/susanatfox sumidol

    OH NO Gwen – ha ha ha – Oh no you did int! No, MJ never ever said that! I knew you could do it MJ – love you even more now.

    Well, seeing as there was no Cookie concert last night, as he was busy flying to and fro (among other things – LOL!), I’m clearly having withdrawals, the brain is foggy, and it’s Monday.

    Michael Johns didn’t do a thing. He’s perfectly innocent! ;)

    The song is potentially hot. He’s all kinds of cute when he’s shyly flipping that book (or whatever).

    He’s shocked to know that he has male fans, so….that’s funny.

    Have I convinced y’all yet?!

  • Barbariba

    This is the Michael johns I love! Thanks, mj for the clip. I agree with everyone here who said they love the bluesy rock n soul of MJ’s voice. I had planned on buying his album anyway but now if the rest of the album is anyhting close to the snippet we just heard, I am so going to be buying a few more copies. MJ has an amazing voice and the world needs to hear him.

  • AInoob

    Nice find with that full picture, everywhere else I’ve seen it, it was conveniently cropped :wink1_tb:

  • heart2

    Yeppers, I’ll be buying Michaels CD. I mean he is all kinds of AWESOME. This guy has real talant, something I haven’t see in a very,very, very long time.

  • Duke

    that was great

  • heart2

    Don’t ask the question if you don’t like the answer. Why should Micheal have to lie. When people ask me the same stupid question over and over and over,I just think ………………ask me again and I’ll tell you the same. Just tell the truth.

  • cakelulu

    That video was filmed by one of our members at http://www.michaeljohnsonline.com

    He is an awesome singer and what a fabulous guy..I had the privilege of meeting him in Toronto…beautiful inside and out!!

    I am practicing the sprint for when his CD comes out..first in line!

  • abbysee

    Dammit, am I gonna have to join michaeljohns online? Sh^t! LOL! I don’t care at this point if he said he shoulda been a contenda, lol. He’s got an amazing voice.

  • absabella

    Thanks MJ for posting!

  • s0x_prisoner

    wowwwwww… :D

  • waffle

    Just viewed the picture Gwendolyn posted upthread of DC in an airport, and didn’t realize the girl behind him was HIS girl, until I read a few of the comments that came with the picture. Wow, I can’t believe how strongly some of his fans feel about her! Crazy!!!

    Michael seemed pretty excited about that new song. Hope he’s able to release it soon. :)

  • asa

    WOW!!! He’s sooo good!!! Amazing!!! :clap_tb:
