According to the early top 24 results that are being leaked he fails to make it through — i was rooting for him though. How does he sing with a British accent though?

It’s a good clip, thanks. Josiah cried while performing his song. He really has audience of American Idol with him now. His Grace Kelly performance was really good.

grace kelly is probably one of the most challenging songs to sing, but he did it so DAMN well. it’s too bad he wont make it to top 24. his performance yesterday was just so bad, as though he winged it, but when youre in so much pressure can you really blame him?

American Idol is rigged. How can you not put someone like Josiah through? This is total crap. Oh, and Josiah if your reading this, don’t let those sucky judges let you down. I’m sure any one in the right mind will give you some kind of record deal.
This is your #1 fan signing off.

I give all my love to this man! It’s so sad such a talented young boy has to live in his car. Why? Why do people so amazing have to have bad things happen to them? Why does he live in his car? Why did he get cut from American Idol? I can’t believe they cut him! He’s such a sweetheart with an amazing voice and he needs this now more than anyone! But Josiah, I really do hope that this doesn’t hurt you. You have fans and we want to hear from you. We love your voice and don’t want you to stop!

Josiah,
Just want to let you know I will be anxious to buy your first recording. I wish they would have let you finish the song you wrote, the one that got you onto Hollywood. You were by far the most talented of anyone I saw in the top 50. You screwed up the last song but they got to know from the other 2 auditions that you are a future MegaStar!!!!!! If anyone has his music please send me a download, I think you are a mixture of Graham Nash and Herman’s Hermits!

You were robbed! I don’t even want to watch the rest of the season. If you are ever in the KC area look me up - you will always have a place to stay. And I am not talking about your car parked in my driveway.
Hang in there! You are obviously a very strong-willed young man and that may have been your demise on idol, but it is also going to take you far in the music industry. Continue to stand up for what you believe and be true to yourself and your art.

I am truly disappointed Josiah got cut he is brilliant.
Maybe he is better off though look what happened to Chris Daughtry he was a better success not being assoiciated with the show. Josiah has true talent so he doesnt need a corney show like IDOL!
JOSIAH will make it no worries!!!

The song that Josiah is singing “Grace Kelly” was written by Mika about how much Simon Cowell sucks! You can hear the song here:

I think he didn’t make it through because the judges were unsure that he could handle the pressure. But I think that they are allowing contestants to play the piano and play instruments is a move in the right direction for AI. They should search for an all around star, someone that can play an instrument and write songs, and not just a singer…That could get a little boring after awhile.
