Josiah was outstanding on Ellen. He got a standing ovation, and Ellen gave him some free music gear…which is great, but I think Josiah will be a millionaire before too long.

Maybe the songs he sing aren’t my style, but I didn’t really think he was awesome. He sounds like many of the high school bands around here. Not to put the kid down, but even if he made it, I don’t think his voice is strong enough to compete against other singers such as David Archuleta.

It is possible that he staged all that to get some popularity. But you can’t say his song don’t have quality. Or his voice, come to think of it.

And this would be the reason all music that comes out of american idol is terrible. First off, ET or some show like that showed him sitting “homeless” in his car outside of his parents house. WHAT ? Secondly, a person that has been homeless for a year like he claims, would be able to answer more questions than he can. All he says is, “I go where the road takes me”. No dude, you dont, this kid has no responses to how did you get money to eat ? where did you eat ? how would you wash your clothes ? how did you get the shiny new clothes you are wearing, and gel for your hair ? where do you shower ? where do you work ? do you work ? and so on, and so on. Thirdly, the british accent comes from….. ???? Oh right ! He listens to british music. Thats right too, everytime I eat a taco I speak mexican for a week. Vocal range ? I think the majority of people who want him to “go on to bigger and better things” better stop clenching their ass checks so they can remove their TV speakers from their anus and maybe then you will realize what he sounds like. He is always holding his guitar and strums 3 chords, anyone heard him play this instrument he made a priority to carry around on his “homeless venture” ? Given its not Instrumental Idol but still, it proves to be another notch in his poser belt. If you pluck a hair out of your ass clevege you are sure to make the same sound that sounds like his “singing”. Hey now at least Madonna and Britney have some company, they are no longer the only ones who have become british overnight.

Need I say more ???

One thing for sure. He shouldn’t be promoting a video on You Tube that shows him smoking. Not a good message to give out there to young people.

Josiah is amazing! He is original and his heart and soul come out in his music. I’m a 40 year old mother of 4 and I love his music just as much as my teenagers do. His talent is enjoyed by people of all ages. I have no doubt that this young man is in for some major success!! We’ll keep listening Josiah!

I liked that clip of Josiah Leming singing in that audition. He could have been in that top 24. I hope that some record labels consider signing him since he’s a songwriter and plays music as well. We need more of that in music today. This will be a better thing than that William Hung, who got over with his bad singing. For once, we will have someone with TALENT that didn’t make the top 24 or top 12 on American Idol.
And I commend Ellen DeGenres and her producers for getting Josiah to perform on her show just after American Idol rejected him. This way, he can sing and perform on his own platform!

Hey Josiah fans!

I just found that former American Idol Chris Sligh (#10) of Season 6 was a HUGE Josiah Leming fan! On his blog he says:

Josiah Lemming should’ve been in the top 24. He should’ve been in the top 10. He should’ve been in the top 5. The kid is seriously one of the most original contestants ever on Idol and is one of the most original songwriters I have heard in a long freaking time. His stuff is really acoustic and the recordings aren’t great. But when you listen to those freaking songs…holy cow. The dude is good.

Are you convinced now you made a big fu**en mistake American Idol?

Josiah’s #1 Fan,
Tobey
