    The Season 7 finalist admits: he found it difficult to blog about the Top 6 "when each of them is so incredibly good!" Still, this Aussie looker has his favorites. Season 7 featured a slew of unforgettable performers, but Michael Johns stood out -- not just because of his sexy Australian accent (by way of Atlanta) and the Jim Morrison-like swagger he displayed on the American Idol stage, there was formidable talent behind those dashing good looks. And like a fine wine, each of those qualities has only gotten better with age, along with a deeper appreciation of the Idol… Full Story »
