Last night, Michael Johns was eliminated from "American Idol." It's down to 7 contestants now.
This writer today is shocked; she argues he was one of the most "talented" contestants left, and had a great deal of "star quality."
And yet, to me, this goes to show just how subjective these kinds of analyses can be, how much assigning such qualities can be in the mind of the beholder. Because to me Michael Johns was a good singer and performer; but not an outstanding one. I never got the feeling he truly connected with enough people, that he had enough personality. But that's just me; obviously others felt otherwise (but not enough of them voted for him).
