Michael Johns Takes a Shot at Sanjaya

The Aussie song-stealing douche, one of our least favorite contestants this season, decided to take a different approach to his exit interviews. Instead of being classy like Amanda Overmyer or pathetic like David Hernandez, he just pulled a Carly Smithson and insulted VFTW's favorite papaya Sanjaya. In an E! Online interview, Michael said, "There was no laughingstock. There were no jokers...They wanted it to be a singing competition instead of a TV show with the controversy of Sanjaya." First off, Sanjaya was not a laughingstock. He was awesome. Secondly, almost all of the contestants this year are too boring to inspire any kind of emotion. I mean who feels one way or another about Syesha? Michael was also going to sing "Vision of Love" next week on American Idol. On second thought, that would have been hilariously bad. Can we vote him back just for one week?

This whole season of idol is a huge laughingstock between all the lame plants, Idol Gives head and the continuing drop in ratings. Nigel and friends are probably wishing Sanjaya was on this season as well right about now.

I think Michaela is hurt because Sanjaya lasted a week longer.

I find it sad that the AI producers can't accept that their show has passed any notion of being "a singing competition" in the true sense of the word and has long since crossed over to the side of schlocky camp and tiresome predictability. Sure, I didn't know that Michael Johns was going to be the one going home last night, but I:

a. knew that each and every contestant was going to absolutely suck on Tuesday,
b. knew that it wouldn't be Carly, Archuleta, David Cook, or Brooke White going home,
c. didn't care that it was Johns,
and
d. don't give a flying flaming fuckerdoodle what happens next week or any of the subsequent weeks thereafter.

Do they really think the reason they got such high ratings last season was because people genuinely enjoyed watching Jordin Sparks sing like a goat or Blake Lewis briggity-break it diggity-down on stupid 80's songs? No, they tuned in to see what crazy hairstyle Sanjaya would rock and if he could possibly stick it out for one more week. At least they kept it somewhat interesting for the remainder of the season after Sanjaya was sent packing by keeping an incredibly talented singer (Melinda Doolittle) in the competition up to the top 3.

You know those really high ratings you got last year, Idol? That was your show reaching its summit, its apex, its pinnacle, its highest point. Once you reach that point, Idol, you can only do two things:

1. You can learn to fly and push yourself higher
or
2. You can let gravity do its work and begin your slow, painful descent to the bottom.

I think we know what you've chosen to do, Idol. You've topped out, and the only direction to go is down. Some would say you've "jumped the shark."

I just say you screwed the pooch.

Ok, but whether you like it or not, most people watching did consider Sanjaya a laughingstock. That is the sole reason that the judges and/or producers put him through - so they could have their whipping boy. He was there to make good TV. He was there to generate controversy so people would talk and more people would watch and they would all get richer. If it was really all about talent, Sanjaya never would have made it past Hollywood week, if he would have even made it there. And those are the reasons that you backed him! You know that AI never took Sanjaya seriously and they always meant for him to be the joke of the season, and that's why you wanted him to win. Not because you thought he was a good singer.

You love the word "fuckerdoodle." It sounds like something out of Stephen King.

That's pretty unfortunate that Johns had to resort to bashing Sanjaya. If Johns wasn't a human dial tone perhaps he would have lasted longer. This whole competition is filled with dial tones. I miss Amanda.

What an asshat. He gets kicked off before Papaya did because he was uninteresting and couldn't hit his notes, and then he has to call out the best VFTW pick ever.

You are an asshat, Michael Johns. This season is terrible and no one cares about any of you, and all of your album deals with FAIL. YOU FAIL.

Maybe you should have been funny like Kristy. Jerkface.

Beckeye and Jenn need to learn to love the ponyhawk. Trust me, it will make you a better person, clear up your acne and give you a warm tingly feeling all over.

It's bound to be a lot better than the humorless tone deaf AI fans you reveal yourself to be in the posts you just made.

How dare he diss Sanjaya? He's just jealous cuz he's better. I now officially hate ADB just as much as I hate CuntyPlant.
