Well, it's not like everyone has to comment on it...

**|so alive|** · 07-02-2009, 05:57 AM

I didn't say that. But a lot of celebrities did, and as a musician I thought he'd have something to say.

**Cereal Killer** · 07-02-2009, 06:06 AM

If he did, he obviously didn't want to share it with "the world".

Could I be added please?

I have no idea how I haven't been around here before

**|so alive|** · 07-05-2009, 12:12 PM

Good, we could use a new fan

adding you.

**Cereal Killer** · 07-05-2009, 01:07 PM

Welcome colourtunes!

**CookieMonster** · 07-05-2009, 01:49 PM

Welcome!

I've been so bad about posting my thoughts on the album.. bad me

I gotta tell you, my parents LOVE the thing.

My mom already informed she would be stealing it to take with her on their vacation next month. XD Which is fine, cuz I already have it safely tucked away on my computer and iPod

I'm having fun detecting the differences in the songs that were on the old album. I really like new ummph that he gave Little Bear. Makes it even more memorable

I'll be back with more... I don't like saying too much at once XD

**|so alive|** · 07-05-2009, 02:02 PM

You wouldn't

Can't wait for the rest of the review... I really wish they would've sold the album here. I want to pay the man what he deserves.

Thank you girls!

**Cereal Killer** · 07-08-2009, 06:04 PM

I haven't really listened to the new versions of the old songs enough to spot too many differences.

I did listen to Fire quite a bit back in the day when the new version was released. It had a cool sound and so do the others but yeah, I could be listening to them more.

On the other hand I'm totally in love with This Is Goodbye.

Such a pretty song and his voice couldn't be more beautiful. If he's planning on releasing more singles, that should be it.

Michael and Brooke will tour together this summer. From MJO:

Quote:

Former American Idol finalists, Michael Johns and Brooke White, have just announced a slew of tour dates. The first show will kick off in Pomona, CA on August 16th. Johns will be promoting his new album Hold Back My Heart, which hit stores in late June. The Aussie singer will be premiering the video for the first single off the album, “Heart on My Sleeve,” shortly. White will be out supporting her album High Hopes & Heartbreak which will be released on July 21st. “Radio Radio,” the first single pulled from the album has already had critics comparing her to greats like Carly Simon and Carol King.

So strange they hooked up to tout, I always thought it'd be Carly.
But then again, he did say he wants to perform with Brooke before the Idol tour...

**Cereal Killer** · 07-10-2009, 05:21 AM

Well, they recorded that duet together and it works really well. Here's a snippet of them performing it together earlier this summer:

Sorry about the double post but this news is all kinds of cool!

Michael is singing the theme song from a new NBC show called "The Wanted". Here's a promo for the show, you can hear the song in the background:

YouTube - The Wanted on NBC, July 20th, 10pm - Pt. 2

And you can listen to a snippet of it and buy it on Amazon.

That sounds sooooooooo good.

This is is the exact kind of Michael I love! I realize that it's mostly gone by now but that doesn't stop me from salivating for more.

Must. Have. This. Song!

Look, it's two my favorite things, the hot Aussie and football!
