Michael Johns Odds to Win American Idol Offer Top Value

Australian favorite to win American Idol offered what was probably the best performance of the week.  Michael Johns was widely praised for his "It's all Wrong But It's All Right".

With a payout potential of $7 for every $1 bet, Johns has the best value of the bunch right now.  This is actually two strong weeks going for Idol's oldest contestant this season.  He blew us away last week with Queen's "We are The Champions".

Back him in his native Australia, the newspapers were raining praise upon their native son who now makes the US his home.

From The Australian:

Michael Johns' emotional rendition of the country legend's tune It's All Wrong, But It's All Right was a hit with judges, casting the home-grown singer to the top of the pile.
