Poll of the week: MJ doesn't hold back in champion series

Unsurprisingly, another seventh-season finalist was crowned as the winner of IDOL LIVE's poll of the week champion series when readers were surveyed on which eighth-place finalist of all eight seasons they prefer.

Michael Johns, who saw his post-Idol album Hold Back My Heart hit store shelves yesterday, took home 40 of the 62 votes cast in all, good for a whopping 64% of the total vote count.

Following was behind in second place was Bucky Covington with seven votes (11%), who is the most successful eighth-place finisher to date. And this past season's Scott MacIntyre was only able to nab six votes (9%).
