Josiah, You've become an inspiration to me. There was one day where I wanted to give up and quit school and run out of town. I too feel like there is something out there for me, something i'm searching for. I'm glad everything has been working out for you.
i'm always looking out for these songs, also one last song, in a better quality... please go to a studio, they are amazing just the way they are! and everybody loves 'em... :/ you could be even more famous!
why arent you famous yet?!?!? ive loved u ever since idol you are so good i think you should try out for xfactor they def made a mistake sending you home and i think theyve realized that so why not go back and give it another shot!!!
you're voice control has gotten really good man! hah, i like seeing your progress. i love your "raw" aspect, but i can tell you're getting more fluid but you still have those raw screams, love it. good job.
You've gotten better. Think you might try for American Idol again? I believe you'd make it to the top 12 this time. =] I was rooting for you, cause where you're from isn't far from me. about an hour away or so. ^_^ I wish you nothing but the best. -Lydia
amazing, josiah!! you covered this beautifully. my parents brought me up on james taylor and billy joel. it's so great to see someone my age covering such a timeless song . keep it up. with love, from NYC <3
I have many pals/friends displaying various talents.....yet your name comes to mind during the multiple conversations of people to keep watching. Best wishes, You are heard and seen! (((Big Hugs))) ---prairie
You're completely original. You sing from the bottom of your heart and you can totally tell. Every song you sing is outstanding and stunning. Never stop singing, EVER. ++COME BACK OUT TO LOUISIANA TO PLAY A SHOW FOR OVER 18 YEAR OLDS!
yaaaaaaay. Still sounding (and looking) great Josiah. Hope you're well and certain events in London havn't stopped you wanting to come back! Would be great to hear some ep's and new songs in person! Come back to London!
At the beginning I was like, 'Whoa! You sound different!' and then around 1:13 you started to make me smile, thinking that you hadn't changed after all! :) Thank you for making a new video, and I really like your hat, haha. :D
There's just something about your voice that pierces straight to my heart.
Whatever happens, please swear that you will never EVER let yourself be changed by the music industry: it will eat you up and spit you out with your soul gone if you let it.
You are a precious, lovely, awe-inspiring, and beautifully genuine person. Keep on being exactly who you are cuz I just can't get enough of you!
i cried when you didn't pass the final auditions in idol .. then i googled your name and found you here on youtube.. im so happy that i was able to watch you perform ^^
So great, I'm jealous of your neighbors... I would love to hear this blaring through my walls. Another great one Josiah... keep 'em coming. Coldplay maybe? If not... Joy and Happiness. Favorite for sure!
it´s a dream...thx for your music and for your lovely emotions...
