With the TV show in the past, and most of the “Idols” tour behind him, Johns is concentrating on his post-tour plans. “We’re already working on an album,” he said. “Any down time we have on the tour I spend working on the music for the album. I’m hoping to have everything finished by Thanksgiving.”

From a “pared down” list of 25 to 30 songs — including one written for him by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Diane Warren — he’ll choose a dozen for the CD.

“I absolutely love to collaborate, to put two minds together, two musicians working, interpreting what a song can be. It’s so energizing.”

He laughed and said the tour has been exhausting, but “not in a bad way.”

“This tour, it’s just the best. It’s a chance to give something to the people who’ve been so supportive — and, you know, that (‘We Will Rock You’) beat. It gets me going no matter how tired I get.”

This interview is full of lots of good tidbits but especially the part about our dear Jane (cakelulu) and her fangirlie cake she made for MJ and presented to him in Toronto on 7-26.

Michael’s interview portion below…

With Michael Johns and Chikezie calmly awaiting their interview turn, a tour staffer asks them which will go next. Johns rises from the table and comes in my direction. “We have a history,” he tells the staffer, referring to our brief conversation in the lobby prior to the interview. “Our two-minute history?” I ask. “That’s enough for me,” he cackles as he takes a seat in the same spot where remnants of Carly Smithson’s club soda, now dried, landed.

Our first exchange is a personal one. A lifelong fan of Australian super group INXS, I am well aware that Johns is also a fan. I find out in our conversation that he will be writing with Andrew Farriss, musician and songwriter of INXS, in the coming months upon the close of the tour. A solo album is in the works with a single release date slated for the end of 2008 and an album release date of early next year.

The married Johns, 29, is, at 6′3″, tall and well-suited for his tennis hobby. Formerly known as Michael Lee on the musical circuit, Johns has been involved with various bands, namely the now-defunct The Rising. His passion for music is evident.

Hearkening back to Johns’ first performance during Idol’s ’60s week, where he did a sultry interpretation of ‘Light My Fire’ by The Doors, Johns tells me that their ‘Love Me Two Times’ describes him the best. He laments at how he would do nothing differently if given the chance to relive his Idol experience, save for how the sound of his rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Go Your Own Way’ during ’70s week sounded to television audiences. “Somehow, my performance that week got screwed up. The backing singers, you couldn’t hear ‘em. What you guys heard on the TV isn’t actually the sound in the room.”

Regarding criticism from judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul for his song choices, like The Beatles’ ‘A Day in the Life,’ Johns balks. “I respect them, but didn’t care what they said. For me, I literally never chose a song based on ‘Oh, they’re gonna love this.’ Their comments did not affect me one way or the other.”

Johns expresses his interest in involving himself with charities like Muscular Dystrophy and Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Not yet a father, Johns would love to be a Big Brother. He smiles as he tells me of playing songs for children at a children’s hospital, giving them a chance to get out of their rooms and escape from their illness if only for a bit.

A fan of former Idol contestant LaKisha Jones, Johns speaks fondly of his own fans. He pulls out his cell phone and shows me photos of a cake made by a lady named Jane. The cake was adorned with figurines in a circle, with one representing Johns in the middle as the singer. The intricate design of her work was captured in a few photos that he proudly shared.

He recalls how, during a lightning round of questions in a previous interview, he was asked if he preferred a Mac or PC. His reply that he did not have a laptop led to a group of his fans to chip in and buy him a MacBook. Appreciative of such a gesture yet embarrassed that they had spent such money, Johns tells me that they did so, “so I could blog more, reply to them quicker.”

It is evident why others describe Johns as ‘fun.’ Previously warned by Smithson and Cook of my epitaph question, Johns puts on his best Australian attempt at a British Austin Powers accent and says, “I came, I saw, I shagged them all rotten, baby!”

Smithson chimes in, “You can’t put that in a magazine!”

Johns retorts, “Why not?”

And, with that, it’s Chikezie’s turn.
