He truly was the best ......Amaro should of bowed down....Even she knows he was the most talented.... Its just sad that the 5 mill went to an unworthy person while the desrving once again went on without.....Daughtry is another example of the failure of allowing teenagers to vote.....
he should have won this. melanie amaro has a great voice. but she sounds exactely like her idols. josh sounds like himself, made all the songs his own. perhaps they thought, he wouldn't fit in the image of a pepsi commercial. think simon and LA destroyed his chances to win by giving him more and more bad comments. shame on them.
@Wandooney HE DOES pick his songs or at the very least he has a choice or a say in what he will sing. If you really pay attention, Simon says " If Nicole picked the song it will be Meatloaf , if Josh picked it it will be something GOOD.
This along with "The Pretender" proves Josh can sing ANYTHING and be believable and relevant. He can be vulnerable and exposed singing a song like this, and then rock the house down with the next song. That kind of range is rare these days, and I really hope America appreciates it.
However, not just any soulful rock but the ones that most music fans like and are familiar with such as "A Little Help From My Friend" instead of "Jar of Hearts".
It doesn't matter how well a contender sings a song. If it's a song that most music lovers are not familiar with, it would hamper his chance of winning.
I hope Josh will be wise enough to choose songs that have the IT Factor to win the X Factor.
@simon6071 unfortunately, Josh doesn't get to pick his songs. Do you follow the show? He hasn't picked one song. If Josh could pick his own songs I'm sure they would be better then what was chosen for him. Pay attention, he hasn't picked his songs.
@Wandooney I get your message. Thanks. I wasn't really following the show after being discouraged by results of other singing competitions that showed favoritism towards blacks. It's just not right that competitors can't pick their own songs. That leaves more room for the judges to rig the result.
@Wandooney I don't understand why L A Reid criticized Drew for the song choice as if she had any say in choosing the song Skyscraper which he thought was not suitable for Drew. It is absurd that contestants are not allowed to choose their own songs. Even though Josh has the talent to sing songs chosen by Nicole with professional quality performance, an excellent choice of song is still crucial for winning. I think the rule of having songs chosen by the mentors instead of the singers is not fair.
Best version of this song ever!! His voice is just amazing.. i can't imagine having that guy singing live in front of 10 000's of ppl.. That would be outstanding!
this man is amazin grace himslef...mann,,,,am in NZ n i follow this show N i tell u what ...it doesnt take a guineus that he will b the last man standing...mind ma spellin .i guess da winner is .......jOSH..............AMERICAN IDOL 2011
He did okay, but if I compare him to Christina Perri, he looks like a total amateur. Nowhere in the same planet as the job Christina does... it's almost insulting to her version, in my opinion. Paula said he "nailed it"? Simon says it was incredible and stunning?!? Wow.
@Calcium1857 Christina Perry's voice is flat as Pippa Middleton's arse.....flatter than a fried egg hahaha. Josh made this song bearable for me because I despised it before and never understood why she was popular. Josh has the most beautiful voice I've heard in a long time. But fair play to staying loyal to the original.
@joachoca you are really damn fresh i just listen to craig and had to switch asap.....craig had no soul just dry as jamaican crackers....plz stop this nonsense and listen again
Takes a truly awesome performer to make a line like "you're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul" connect emotionally instead of making the listener laugh at it's lameness. Josh connects big time!
This was my first time watching X-Factor and this song turned me into an instant fan of Josh's. This guy really did his own thing with this song and it was awesome.
wow... this is the first time i've heard this song...so i immediately searched for the artist...I just found out that this was way better than the original...wow...powerful voice...nice job...
Josh ist the best of all the men in X factor.... I´m from Slovakia and the name KRAJCIK ist here frequent... Does he has some parents comming from here??? Dont you know anybody??
Being a fan of the English xfactor and not gay lol i must say this man is is the best singer I've heard on any show like this and cant believe hes not been signed up before i would defo buy anything by this guy hes so much bigger than any show.
He looks great tonight. Like the styling, however, really surprised that Simon loved the song. I love Josh, and agree his emotion in the middle, fantastic!
Seriously wish someone else was mentoring him, not that he really needs it.
When I heard Josh sing this, I thought of some of the great Broadway productions. He could actually even sing a major lead on Broadway. He is leaps and bounds above all the rest of the very good contenders!
Josh could sing the phonebook and make us love it...he is going to win but even if he doesn't this will get him a great record deal and all of us can actually spend our money on a great artist with true talent...love him, his voice and his talent.
@Mrhawklanz Listen again.This song starts out with really deep notes. Josh was able to go all the way down with them. If the song starts out slowly it is because that is the way it was written. Josh knows his music, no question about that.
Josh doesnt need this competition, he is too good. Hopefully, the show will be what he needs to be "discovered" though. I would buy his CD in a heartbeat.
@kittybop1 Amen to that! I would buy his CD in a heartbeat as well. Josh K. is beyond talented and I just hope the dumb teeny boppers don't vote for someone like Astro or the other sub-par performers. It kills me to see the praise some of the performers on this show that can't even come close to Josh K.
@musicloverboy Exactly! He conveys emotion really well, even if I'm not a fan of the song. He was better than Craig on the UK's one cause he made it his own.
@sunnygirly2k4 lol! agreed...all of The Americans are better than all of The UK artists..comparing Craig who can carry a tune to Josh whose voice is unique and moving is a perfect example..
I'm just glad Josh is so talented that he can do well with any song that's given to him. This wasn't the best song choice, really Nicole. Good thing Josh pulled it through! I'm so hoping to see him next week.
