    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.

    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

    HAWTness.

  18. fu-fu said at March 25th, 2009, 12:52 pm: ()

    I agree with the others who say Michael looks great in that outfit!

  19. Susan said at March 25th, 2009, 1:12 pm: ()

    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.

  21. dumbo said at March 25th, 2009, 3:38 pm: ()

    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.

  22. Bella said at March 26th, 2009, 7:31 am: ()

    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!!!

  23. GalGor said at March 26th, 2009, 1:39 pm: ()

    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.

  24. GalGor said at March 26th, 2009, 1:49 pm: ()

    …..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.

  25. oh_my_papa said at March 26th, 2009, 2:20 pm: ()

    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!!

  26. GalGor said at March 26th, 2009, 2:53 pm: ()

    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.

  27. oh_my_papa said at March 26th, 2009, 3:20 pm: ()

    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.

  28. GalGor said at March 26th, 2009, 3:21 pm: ()

    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.
