Josiah Leming has been living out of his car since leaving home about a year ago and, although he initially said that he loves it, he broke down in tears over his loneliness.
He first sang an original tune, “To Run” but the judges stopped him after they detected a strange British accent coming through when he sang. He didn’t really have an explanation but I totally heard it right away too – I kept thinking of Keane (one of my fave Brit bands) and was glad when Randy and Simon asked about it. For fun, Simon had Josiah sing “Chasing Cars” (by Snow Patrol) and it was crazy! He was put through to the next round and as he was leaving, he slipped into a British accent again.
I really liked Josiah and I was happy that he made it through to Hollywood. I think he’s interesting and unique and could really surprise a few people.
Watch his audition:
Whoa.
Many people were touched by Josiah. Including me. He is truly incredible.
emmie__b@hotmail.com ,if anyone wants to contact me. Please let me know if there is any way I can help.
i love josiah very much…..
josiah! youre so very good!
muaah!
idol!!!11111
ahh. josiah. i couldve cried when he got voted off. :[ i keep wondering how he’s doing. i thought he had a good chance of winning it all :[ ilovethatkid.
HEY!!! Taylor
the name of the song that josiah sang was “grace kelly” by mika.
I heard an hour interview with him on VFTW.com. It is an internet radio station but you can still download the interview from their page. He takes calls in from listeners and he did an awesome interview. He said he is back home with family and his mom is battling the big “C”. She also has her own Blog regarding her illness and her battles with it. It just makes my heart even more sad for him. (google Sharon Leming). Did you know his mom is only 39 yrs old and has 9 children. I am 35 yrs old and can’t even manage to handle a full time job and a dog. God Bless that Family. Read her blog she discusses Josiah and her family. I wish anyone success that struggles to get there.
Clive Davis is going to lose a lot of money. At first I was simply crushed by Josiah’s top 24 rejection, but the more I think about it, as talented as he is he doesn’t need American Idol. Some other music exec (smarter than Cowell) with any sense at all will sign him and he will become history. Josiah is a young Paul McCartney. We are watching a legend being born before our eyes. Good luck to you, Josiah. My prayers are with you. I just know that you will be a very big success one day soon.
P.S. i meant he was frusturated with the band and he was so not over confident!
I think Josiah is a very outgoing kid and that if Simon saw those other tapes of him at 3:30 in the morning with his hair sticking up on end crying Simon would have understood how frusterated Josiah was. May all your dreams come true Josiah and i am blowing kisses for u!
Remember the song that Josiah was singing? Its called “Grace Kelly,” and it was written by Mika about how much Simon Cowell sucks!
You can hear the song here:

So glad i found it!
Put him back to idol! he’s very talented and not stereotyped!
He should have made it in!!! But, i think he will still do great outside of idol. I would so buy his CD. I’m planning to buy a bunch of songs from his myspace.
I love Josiah so much and he should NOT have gotten elimined off of idol. It sucked and I’m not even going to watch it this year!!! Josiah needs to become famous and I’ll come to every one of his concerts!!!

I think he looks like the kid from 6th sence….. Sometimes I see dead people
I know where I live you can use the internet for free at the library. Maybe he does that. Maybe since the show he has gotten some deals, I hope so, I mean that was taped awhile ago, correct? The live shows dont start till next week. I just hope he makes it big. I love american idol but I think they were wrong in this decision.
ITS NOT HARD ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS USE YOUR PARENTS HOUSE ADDRESS, USE YOU PERSONAL INFO FROM THERE DOWN LOAD PICTURES AND WHAT NOT AT IN WHERE THAT HAS A WI FI OR WHAT NOT.
I really wanna support Josiah, but I gotta wonder, too – how the hell does he have a MySpace account if he’s living out his car? Is that MySpace page bullshit, or is it really him?
I just hope that something happens to cause one of the top 24 to have to be cut so that Josiah may come back…. this was a travesty that he was cut!!! Regardless though, I hope that for his fans he continues to follow his dream. He does not need idol now to become a huge star, but I know that us Idol lovers would love to have him as our Idol.
please bring him back he was an original….what talent he has…which we only got to see a little bit..I would much rather him be confident that shy and can’t perform…my heart goes out to him…please bring him back from all in NC
