Johns, Smithson rock Chicago

Michael Johns and Carly Smithson performed for the first time since being kicked off “American Idol” on Saturday.
The pair made duets out of U2’s “One” and Sam & Dave’s “Hold on, I’m Coming.” They knocked them out of the park, especially the second tune.
Johns seems to have a natural star quality. He engaged the audience very well, and both songs fit right into his bluesy sort of style.
Smithson was more subdued working the audience, but she’s got the pipes. Her voice alone got the crowd behind her.
I don’t know what Simon would have said, but I would vote for both of them. Still, I doubt I’ll buy tickets to the “American Idol” tour.
