Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on October 20, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Michael Johns! From rocking the American Idol stage in season seven to charming audiences worldwide with your Aussie charisma and soulful voice—you've truly made eighth place feel like first. Who else could make Simon Cowell smile while belting out Queen classics?

Your journey since then has been nothing short of inspiring—continuing to captivate fans everywhere you go. Here's hoping this year brings even more unforgettable performances, endless applause, and perhaps another chance at karaoke night domination!

Cheers to a timeless talent who proves that coming in eighth can still mean you're number one in our hearts!
