Even after several tries of getting the staff’s attention, they weren’t able to fix his mic. When his part came, he decided not to sing at all.

Sm: *cuts off mic*
Johnny:”okay cool, I ain’t singing shit until you fix it”

This one moment ended up going viral online with fans respecting his professionalism.

JOHNNY literally go "i won't sing, the mic is not even working" and let the backtrack play instead of lip syncing bcs everyone will know anyways bcs you'll just know they when 127 sing live.
