Love the pictures..thanks Maja!!! I knew we’d be able to listen to him sing America The Beautiful!
It was wonderful MJ!!…just needed the interviewer to keep quiet….how dare they talk when you are singing!!
Wow, that’s some great body paint
Thanks for the pics Maja!
Michael:
Hope you had a good time. I heard you singing on our speed channel during the pre-race events. I was watching another interview and heard a familiar voice in the background…it was you!!!!!!!!!!!! Like Jane said…I immediately wanted them to shush….good thing I had my dvr on! PS – you look great in that Patron suit.
Michael as usual you are terrific. Do you know how much you look like Michael Hutchence in this picture? You are both the best looking guys. Love everything about you.
A beautiful song accompanied by a beautiful voice. The little bit we got to hear gave me shivers, terrific!
Great Pics Love him with a little Facial hair Hansome as ever . It was nice to see when i woke up and had my coffee .
Rawrrrrrrrrr!!
Wow……so now I’m hoping that Michael will wear that Patron racing jumpsuit on his solo tour and come out and sing “Baby You Can Drive My Car” or something. Haha!
He looks so HAWT and his rendition of “America the Beautiful” was breathtaking! I love the passion he expresses in every word of the song. Fabulous, Michael! xoxo
You sounded fabulous MJ!!! Love the pictures too!!! Thanks Maja!
Michael you sounded great and SERIOUSLY, That outfit really good on you.. ..

Very good pictures. He sounds great. This just makes me want him to do a video. I need to see more of him.
Wish I could have been there in person (and I would have if I had learned when he would be singing!)
Dear Michael, you sound perfect and look…. O O O ! About look Why are you
making youself look for 10 years old then actually you are. ? Could you stop it?
Thank you. But anyway, I adore you.
I mean – older.. Sorry.
Hi MJ! From what I can see looks like you had a really fun time. And from what I can hear you kicked major #^&^#&#^* singing as always
Wish I could have been there. Miss ya, love ya, safe travels home.
Jess
Awesome. <3
HAWTness.
I agree with the others who say Michael looks great in that outfit!
Hi! Does anyone have JUST MICHAEL SINGING anywhere? I can hear him in the background & it just kills me not to just hear HIM, because it sounds like he did one heck of a beatiful Job! I’m not surprised.
As Michael is now as American as apple pie and it must make him so happy to be able to sing America the Beautiful.
I’ve read in interviews that the American National Anthem is his very favourite song to sing ever.
You can’t have it both ways, but it’s still a bit of a pity that us Aussies will never officially hear him sing Advance Australia Fair as that right is reserved only for Australians. But I’m glad his adopted country at least gets to hear him sing their anthems so well.
Although Michael has sang our National Anthem..America The Beautiful is not Our Anthem. ( I wish it was)
I have also read in interviews of many song Michael like to sing..seems he has alot of favorites… ever.
Michael came to this Country for a singing career..which alot of artist do..so give him a break. He also is As Astralian as Vegemite. Just love him for who he is!! Why would he not be able to sing your Anthem???? he’s as much as an Australian as you are..he just happens to live abroad.
I never said America the Beautiful was your National Anthem only now that Michael is as American as apple pie it must make him happy to be able to sing such a song.
If he was still “Australian as vegemite” as you state he wouldn’t be declaring quite a few times that the American National Anthem is his favourite song to sing ever.
It comes across as a bit insensitive to us Australians who feel just as deeply about Advance Australia Fair and the meaning and emotion behind it as you do about your NA. So some Aussies wouldn’t be too enthusiastic about him singing our anthem after stating how much he loves singing yours!!!
AUSTRALIANS – YOU JUST NEED TO REGRET THAT MICHAEL WAS SO YOUNG
AND HAD NO CHANCE TO SING YOUR NA, BUT FOR NOW HE HONORED TO
SING AMERICAN NA, BECAUSE HE GROWN HERE AS CITIZEN AND SINGER.
…..AND YOU STILL CAN INVITE HIM TO SING YOUR’S NA. I’M POSITIVE-HE WILL
SING IT WITH THE SAME HIGH FEELINGS AND PRIDE.
I pretty much cracked up when I heard him say that..that’s when I nicked named him ” Michael My Little Fibber Lips Johns”..hee hee hee. Well, we got to hear him sing Advance Australia Fair ( last years Polo Event) and he sang it with a lot of Emotion and Pride. So my advice is don’t hang on every word that he says. It will make you Crazy!!
GUYS, TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MICHAEL WANTED TO SAY , WHEN HE’S SINGING NA… TRY IMAGINE YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER IS SINGING FOR
MILLIONS .. MILLIONS.. HE HAS FULL RIGHT TO BE PROUD TO SAY THAT NA ONE OF HIS FAVORITES.
I totally agree..I just thought it was funny…considering he says that about alot of songs. don’t you worry..I will always stand Up for Michael..Not that he needs me to.
And you know- this funny arguments are saying that WE LOVE MICHAEL.
Some of you want Michael will be more Australian, some of you – more American. Let’s just accept the fact- he’s an American for now.
BUT.. DEAR AUSTRALIA, DEAR FOR MICHAEL – HE NEVER EVER CUT HIS
ROOTS WITH YOU. HE LOVES YOU. YOU’RE HIS MOTHERLAND FOREVER.
lovin the scruff. and he sounded wonderful singing america the beautiful. oh how much i wanted them to shut up so we can just listen to our michael singing. oh well i hope a video of him just singing comes up on youtube soon.
