IT'S D-day for Michael Johns fans tonight, with American Idol viewers able to watch the Aussie warbler's bid to make the final 24.
The swoon-worthy singer easily made the top 50, impressing the judges with his rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody on the Fox 8 show.
Grumpy old man Simon Cowell gave him the biggest wrap, describing the performance as "the best audition of the day".
Perth-raised Johns, 29, took his band The Rising stateside five years ago after being signed by Maverick records, then owned by pop queen Madonna.
The deal hit a dud note but Johns scored a green card when he fell in love and married a Texan girl.
