PERTH man Michael Johns has wowed the American Idol judges to reach the top 50.
Initially bombing out at the first hurdle Johns was asked to perform again. He made an impression on day one with a rendition of a Doors song which secured his position.
On day four of the auditions, with a band and backing singers, Johns took his place and belted out Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.
He had a near standing ovation and quotes from Randy who said: "I've been a fan since day one", and Simon announcing: "It's the best audition of the day".
