American Idol Results: Michael Johns voted off the show

American Idol Results: Michael Johns voted off the show The results from the American Idol voting were announced last night and Michael Johns was the singer voted off the popular reality competition. The Australian-born singer was eliminated from the American Idol, shocking judges and fans alike. "I'm going to miss you. You're a very, very good singer and a very, very nice guy," Idol judge Simon Cowell told Johns after the elimination results were in. It was quite surprising to see Michael Johns leave American Idol, considering he was one of the favorite singers to win the show, listed with odds 15/2 at the online bookmaker BodogLife, only Archuleta and Cook had better odds with 13/10 and 3/2 respectively. The bookie may look into changing the odds offered on the winner of American Idol, considering Michael Johns, Carly Smithson, and Syesha Mercado were at the bottom three this week, while underdogs Kristy Lee Cook (125/1) and Jason Castro (25/1) got a worry-free passage to the next episode.

Before the elimination, host Ryan Seacrest told the audience that "Idol Gives Back" had garnered over $60 million thus far and reminded viewers that donations were still being accepted. According to reports, over 31 million votes were cast this week, making last night the season's highest so far. After the last night's elimination results, we are down to only 7 American Idol contestants, visit BodogLife to see the latest odds on the remaining performers.
