The daytime talk divas are really going all out this week, eh? On yesterday's Ellen, which was filmed in Chicago, former Idol contestants Michael Johns and Carly Smithson gave an exclusive performance, singing a duet version of the U2 classic "One." This was much more fun than the 'repeat performances' we get during their press tour, and it's safe to say Michael Johns, in particular, would have made Bono proud with this one. Gina DiNunno
I wish Michael Johns had been more consistent throughout the contest, this was a perfect song for him! Michael and Carly deserved to be in at least the top 4. At different times throughout the seasion, I thought both of these could have been the Idol.
Sorry, but that didn't work at all. Their voices didn't blend what so ever. Additionally, their timing was off and when they were singing the same lines, they weren't in sync at all. It would have been fine had Michael just sang it by himself. Carly's voice didn't work with the song, it's much too high.
