Another person who looks good in orange! I may have to admit that I’m wrong about it!

Thanks so much for the great pics and vid. OMG! I love that song and Michael singing it makes it even better. It is such a crime that he was not able to sing it on the show. After watching that short video, I would givee almost anything to hear him sing a full length version of that song.

damn with that smile how did you remain standing?
MJ could do justice to most of the INXS catalogue - I wonder if anyone told him to audition for Rockstar INXS and he ever considered it but I would imagine that MJ, already having had record deals and having written his own stuff would not want to be in a situation where he didn’t have as much artistic control, JD Fortune’s career was in total stall when Rockstar INXS came around whereas Michael’s career was not and while JD has a voice similar to Hutch, I think the fact MJ with his longer hair looked a lot like MH may have freaked the band out……..

Orange is the new pink..LOL..Im thinking about all the cool ninja moves. I think many of us were exposed to the likes of Teenage Mutant Ninja, VanDam, Bruce Lee, Steven Segal, Jackie Chan etc..So, ladies show him your cool moves…Watching all his fan encounters is fabulous!

i love his voice he sounds good no matter what he sings do you think it has to do a little bit about his looks too ? LOL OF Course It Doe’s Thats what makes him PERFECT . Im glad you got to meet him . He is One in a million. I had the pleasure of meeting him also and i was floored by him i was in total shock the first time he spoke to me and gave me a hug .

Anyone else notice that MJ is always saying “what am I doing”…….so sweet, we
should put it on a t-shirt for him…..lol.

Good idea helle!! That would be so funny. He does say that alot, he is being pulled in so many directions. Thanks for the great video and pictures. Always a thrill to come here everyday and see whats new. Thanks Michael for being so great to all your fans!! We love everything you do!!!

My dream come true- Michael+INXS!!!!!!! I want to cry, also. Thanks Michael for being so good to your fans!!!!!

Oh yes life is beautiful with Michael singing inxs. It was only a small piece of a beautiful song but he sounded so much better than jd fortune who really only impersonates hutch.
If michael johns were to sign some of inxs songs after practising them I would never stop crying with happiness.
He is one in a million. Michael Hutchence and Michael Johns a dream come true for all the fans.
I love this guy so much.
I’m glad he didn’t audition for Rockstar inxs because his own music is wonderful and he wouldn’t be satisfied I don’t think always singing someone elses songs even though MH’s songs are the best.
