Josiah Leming was left out of the Top 24 on this season of American Idol and it shocked a lot of people (including me). He was on Ellen this morning. It was a great interview and visit. He still has his British accent half the time and I can’t help but think there are things about this kid that we just don’t know.
He also said that, looking back, he understands what happened with his Idol audition. Still, he is incredibly talented in my books and Ellen had a wonderful surprise for him.
Watch the video:
Here are some screen shots for you Josiah fans!
More after the jump!

Love him. American Idol will soon regret not being able to call him one of their own.
Actually, knowing them, they will probably say they eliminated him to further his career and take the credit. Wouldn’t be surprised.
He is such a talent in so many ways. I do think he got a bit over-confident at his last audition but like Josiah said himself, you learn from mistakes. He’ll probably be a lot better off without Idol anyway.
I wish him all the luck in the world.
I love Josiah!! I still can’t believe they booted him off! I really don’t even want to watch Idol this year.
dat boy wrote a hella good of a lyrics if you listen carefully very impressive. diz song gon to be a hit soon….
Josiah you are very talented. I so happy Ellen is helping you–you deserve it. You have a dream and you wear your heart on your sleeve always remember this as it is your soul that we hear.
If your ever in PA you can stay with me! You are a strong man. Forever you’ll be in my heart.

It was great to see him signing again. Im sure he will succeed with his music and won’t be needing American Idol for that. He is talented and deserves to make it through.
I really hate the thing that was happened to JOSIAH…He is great…A total package of a real star…I hate it…Anyway, I’m always here waiting for his first album. Should he conduct a concert here in the Philippines….no doubt….I’ll be the one to have the first class ticket….Go man…u r the best….
