Check out video footage of his appearance below."I'm ready to go out here and rock 'n' roll," Johnson told "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest just before the performance."You are so ready for the rock-star life," judge Jennifer Lopez said afterwards. "You have the goods to back it up."Fellow judge Keith Urban agreed. "That was a great song," he said. "You've got to figure out how to put a twist on that."Johnson, 22, is making his third appearance on "American Idol", after unsuccessful bids in 2011 and 2012.RIVAL SONS are in the studio working on their fourth full-length album, the follow-up to 2012's "Head Down".
