American Idol's Josiah Leming on Ellen - Video

josiah leming on ellen 3 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!

    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.

    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.

    Ellen,
    You are an amazing lady to help out this beautiful young man. I have NEVER had a contestant touch my heart like Josiah did! He deserved to go through. What a relief to see you have helped him. I had not heard about all the support for him until tonight, and I couldn’t be happier for him! God Bless you Josiah!
