  • My favorite cover of this song by far...

  • Everyone is going on about his British accent and such but many people find themselves singing in a British accent. It's unique.

  • this is great!! what chords did you use?

  • This guy is great.does he tour?

  • this is one of my favorite covers of yours, you should sing it more often(:

  • I didn't think it was possiblw but he got 932872 times more amazing for doing this song.

  • Beautiful cover!

  • where can i get the mp3 of this? i want this on my ipod!!

  • noo freaking lieee.this is my favorite song...ill will marry u one dayy sexxy;) hahah i wishh!

  • A cover or an orginal the boy can do no wrong!

  • i love your rendition man,very well done.it's cool you put your own twist on it.

  • this kid. omg come on. he sooo sexy, yummy, amazing voice. i fell in love with him

  • I have been following this kid since his first appearance on Idol. I absolutely LOVE his sound, emotion, creativity...He's absolutely amazing. What baffles me, the guy Mike Posner is great..I like his stuff...but he does absolutely the SAME thing as Josiah. As far as Music creation, writing his own lyrics....But Josiah isn't as "poppy" as Posner...I mean...it's just amazing how backwords things can be! Please keep it up Josiah, I hope you become a Billionaire!!!

  • I like this version much better than the original. But maybe I'm a bit bias =)

  • @jumpingbabyflea123 Nay I agree. This sounds more like soul music, and less like pop. =)

  • I like this version much better than the original. But maybe I'm a bit bias =)

  • Hey, what are the tabs for your cover Josiah?

  • i just love this song! :) btw you have a great voice! don`t waste your talent man! ;D Adore you :) <3

  • this kid puts beiber to shame

    born and raised in stratford heard him growing up, this kid is 10x more of a talented singer than beibs

  • wow i am from south africa capetown u rock keep it up u give me wisdom and make me feel life is worth living

  • No matter how many times i listen to this song it never gets old. Forever and ever Josiah Leming:)

  • brilliant cover.

  • This isn't nearly as horrible as your appearance made it appear it was going to be.

    thumbs up indeed.

  • ten people missed the like button. josiah, i love you :)

  • Brad Pitt fer sure.

  • @JoBice69 I KNOW RIGHT! 

  • this is amazing, best cover ive found. has anyone found the chords??

  • chords? you can't play notes?

  • @4tun8one2 chords sound better on an acoustic in my opinion

  • Your music is always so full of emotion you make me cry every time. You're inspiring and I can learn a lot from you. Keep up the good work, Josiah. You're the most beautiful person I know.

  • too much vibrato

  • great raw talent dude. keep on rockin. i'll keep on listening. cheers

  • I agree, but accents that come and go..?

  • you're not 43 are you? :P

    amazing.

    seriously amazing.

  • This is good but I really just hate this kid for putting on a fake accent.

  • @Stophocles

    Accents are often highly individual, and have much to do with the formation of the palate and ear. I've known people from California with speech impediments that sounded like they were from Boston, and I have a few very close friends who speak with traces of the queen's english from too much BBC as children. In any case, it's impossible to know if his drawl is authentic or not, but as a southerner, I can definitely say I've heard similar accents before.

  • This rendition of this song is so passionate and wonderful.

    Josiah is incredible!

    Go watch him live!

  • i had never heard this song until now....wow. awesome!!!

  • Nice

  • This is one of my favourite songs of all time, and I'm glad to say I am so pleased with this cover...friggen excellent. A friend introduced me to Josiah...check out the song "Theysay".

  • You did an incredible job with one of my favorite songs. Thank you

  • AMAZING cover! Makes me LOVE a song I never really thought twice about --so emotional!

  • awesome, brilliant.

  • i wish i could jam with you. how gay.

  • I see it!!

  • omg that's what i thought too! every time he faces front he looks just like him!

  • @jai2133 ya he does!!! i've thought that too!!

  • @jai2133 its the lips too :p

  • The sound is not perfect, but otherwise is good...

    TH - Denmark

  • Wow. That really got me. You're amazing. I hope all is well with you and your life. :)

  • He's terrible at communicating with fans. If he wanted to keep the momentum going, he shouldn't have abandoned his youtube following.

  • Comment removed

  • Uhm... His mother died recently. That might explain the absence. :/

  • maybe warner should of steped it up with the marketing. you cant expect any artist once they get started to continue personally doing everything..Street teams and mods should be keepin the blogs and post going ya know. But yes i have heard this same thing from so many i stopped counting. But really hes only one guy. He cant be everywhere. But i would most defo..stress to those higher up to get with it. just sayin.

  • Sorry for my misunderstanding,funfubmegan,I just want to spread his music for non-English speaking country.I 've been Some place in US.(I stayed longest in San Diego,among them) but strange thing is I've never been to Okinawa.even I hope to visit.

  • oh and screw Zen I got God on my side, and he'll smite your as down while your busy sqating and chanting. And if that doesnt work i got a voodo pin that will.. bahaha...( Im just fucking being playful..calm down people..this is all a fucking joke. hahaha)

  • If you just be kidding,it's ok,lol.I worred for the artist. and "learn Zen"="calm down".

  • he reminds me of onerepublic

  • I always like Josiah From American idol and I just ran across him on you tube.

    - Kat

  • Oh My Gosh!!!! I love it!!! Josiah You're great. I love your music.

  • Your a sad excuse for a human being..you come looking to spead the word of hate. First off you have no clue what or whom i know. And for your information i have plenty of private things of him that others dont have so I have no need to download. So whos the fucktard?

  • I come to here to listen good music.Sad thing is some person mistakes what to say and where is proper place.Let's go back to music.

  • who died and made you king.? You have no right to judge me.!!. first off , you aren't even from this country..so don't tell me what's proper here.Secondly , if you paid attention,or had higher comprehension skills you would of seen I was defending him. If you dont want drama stoppin talkin shit.

  • people like you make me fucking sick..your obviously ignorant. it sux to be you.

  • You know nothing of music if u like this piece of shit

    How can this be any good u fucking retard.

  • First of all, everyone has a different opinion and a different taste of music. It's just up to the person not to look like an arrogant prick by shoving their selfish fucking opinion down everyone's throat just to troll or feel good about themselves.

    If you don't have a taste in this music, go listen to the shit you do like and stop trying to have everyone smell your asshole.

    Opinions are just like assholes, everyone has one.

  • Yeah,we all have different opinion,and if we don't deny others and listen,it should be better.that's the reason we have language..(have to back to Josiah.Maybe I got why he choose this song(watching his myspace photo caption))

  • Comment removed

  • great cover.. singing is amazing, you should also try playing it finger picking the notes like the original song, it would also sound great.

    good job

  • scicero1 how long must you contune this same ole lame-o shit? I totally disagree with "YOU" and" " Randy." You dont get it do you? We love him for who he fucking is, dont give a shit about anything else. Nothing else matters. Jeoy if your reading this..please NEXT- A on the Lame-A for me Aye? u know i heart u foxy. wink.

  • better than the original! and i only know of 2 covers that are better than the original counting this one! the other one is jumper by bedlight for blue eyes!

  • To be honest guys alot of singers from Austrailia,England, and Japan sound like there American when they sing so why can't Josiah have an accent. Its different and in my opinion great music.

  • Oh sending my huggs and well wishes to you and your family..Im prayin for your mom to come home soon. I hope youll give your mom a hug for me if you see her for mothers day .x

  • blah blah blah...im sick of hearing the same stupid argument about josiahs accent..I couln't give a shit if he sung from his bung!! As long as it's passionate and beautiful, I couldn't really give a shit about the rest..why worry yourself over shit that doesnt even matter. Take your bitchen elsewhere cuz its really gotten lame!

  • I cannot notice English accent or like that,I only know I am listening good music.Better not think like a school exam,

    Better not listen accent,listen music,please find what is real.

    (If you blame my English,tell me in Japanese(joking))

  • Just be real

  • mhmm, I love himm :)

  • amazing stuff, lucky to have such a great voice.

  • Yeah seriously! This is Josiah's actual username right? You're CD didn't come out!!!

  • whereee are youu?

    post vids!

  • I wish this was seen by him, my comments are not meant to hurt anything. Just be original man, you could be the greatest. instead, you chose to be someone else, and you are living someone elses life, they get the credit, not you.

  • josiah, you'd sound good covering the fray!

    just a suggestion.

    this is great, by the way.

    my favorite is one last song, though. :D

    much love, sydney.

  • why does everyone say he's accent is fake and he should speak in his own voice when britney spears speaks british all the time and nobody has a problem with it she not british either i love his accent by the way

  • this kid is amazing everytime he sings it makes you wanna love him more

  • You are disrespectful to my man Josiah. first off, if his accent as u quote" kills him" Warner would not have bothered.,They saw Talent & potential. & they have supported his creative abilities! why? Because they recognize him for who he is as the artist and person not as an accent!! Their is nothing fake about him. What you see is what you get. He's the real deal. "Never Change JL.babez We your fans <3 u " wink.

  • oh and i looked at your u tube page..your a tard ! who cares about stupid commercials like that..You havent got the mentality to judge music based on what i see on your page

  • Commercials are humourous, Funny, and not expected to be real.. They dont have fake accents

  • Scecero- Your out of your mind.!!!!.what attracted the attention of others was the fact that he didtnt sound like the average Joe off the road, hes different! He's just being who he wants to be. So if you don't like his voice then why do u bother at all?!?! I love his voice and I think he should just be who he wants to be no matter. :P

  • If you read wtf I wrote, I asked for a song without the fake accent. I have no problem with his voice, just anything fake

  • I wish you knew how to read, I have on problem with his music. I have been explaineing that he has an accent which hurt his chances. I also posted a clip to prove what I said.

    I LIKE JOSIAH very much,i just wish he would sing a f*&^KING song without the accent. If you seen the clip, his accent is what beat him. randy pointed it out, he did not let it go. Same w/ simon. You cant deny this,it is in the video.

    again, I like his music. I think if he put a song out w/o accent he could prove himself

  • I know, we all know you can sing. Honestly your work is great. I just think what kills you is the accent thing, Trust your voice, be you, I think you are better than you think you are.

    Please, just one sing without the accent, your voice only

  • that is his voice.

  • No, his accent is fake

  • he even talks with a little bit of an accent...it's totally not fake

  • He is from down south, he admitted he likes the accent more. I fugured making a reply would get taken out of context, I just think this kid could really sing. Many have said his accent (which is not real) is what hurts him.

    I think he is great, don't get me wrong. I just feel bad because it hurts him.

    I can;t believe I am even posting, I just think his songs are the best, but, I would like to hear his real voice.

  • You feel bad for him?

    I doubt he needs your pity.

    His fake accent, or so you say, is a conscious decision.

  • how is it fake if he talks with an accent as well? his accent is different, but it's there when he talks too.

    i happen to love it <3

  • You must be very young, just like every other commenter. He is going to have it when he talks because he wants to, watch the video of his mother, and rest of his family. My goal is not to bash, it is to explain and hope someone sees this because I want him to take my challenge and use his own voice.

  • If you woke up tomorrow and talked with an Irish accent all day, and everyone who knew you, family , friends, etc, would all think you are nuts. This is my problem with this dude, I like the guy, I just hate fake accents. and his fake story about living in his car. That got busted months later.

    anyone can say they lived in there car when they got a rich mommy at home when everything goes wrong. again, everything is fake. when he choses to be real, he will make it. until then, he is fake.

  • you fall for it because you are his target audience, I am sure you were a Brittany fan once too right? its a phase.

    I did not know so many people could not see that when you act or pretend to be something or someone else it is not a good perception of yourself.

    also, its biological, english accent is not inherited. it is learned

  • biological by definition means that it is inherent so not to be condescending but maybe you're the one who needs to check themselves.

    i hung out with him like 5 days ago...highly doubt he kept up an accent just for shits and giggles.

    even the lead singer of creedence clearwater revival sang with a fake southern accent. so if you are in fact going to stick with your thoughts of it being fake, well...some things just work.

  • OMG he is from Tennessee, How can he have an english accent . Search it on youtube, look at what simon says to him, how randy is like wtf where did that come from. Please, you cant not understand this.

    If his accent was real, they would have acknowledged it was real on the freakin show. Obvisouly as said during live tv "where did the accent come from" this is live, you can search the clip. He was asked were the hell hsi accent came from and how it changed. <---- key word changed.

  • ummmmm dude who cares if he doesnt have an accent but he sings with one? why is that a bad thing?

  • this should be on itunes this version is fucking amazing<3 i love you josiah!

  • INCREDIBLE>

    new songs ssooon???

  • Amazing.

  • waz up josh? any new album? do let me know, i will surely buy here in dubai united arab emirates....keep it up.....

  • Josiah Leming is the man..i love this kid..he is most def my favorite artist..im 19 and i believe in him with every ounce of my being..he's an amazing artist

  • That. Was beautiful. :)

  • second of all you use fear to try and prove your point to make u feel like you did your good deed. Referring to him having sin and non repentence. Only got knows his heart. You dont know if he prays/or repents for anything. You sound wishy washy...and make no concise sense. WHEN YOU POINT THE FINGER YOU HAVE 4 FINGERS POINTING BACK AT YOU!! (YOUR CASTING STONES MY FRIIEND. MAY GOD FORGIVE YOU!!

  • Actually, you dont point your thumb at yourself (at least i don't). So, it's only three :D

  • Hahaha True dat..Yo, I didn't write the phrase, it's older than our parents. :)

  • You know how old my parents are? That's a bit creepy :| LoL

  • Bahahaha..I know..Right? I'm Psychic what else can I say. wink.

  • thats really weird.

  • uh i got to respond first. Were dieing because were in this damn world even though were not suppose to be aprart of it. As for Adam and Eve..We are cursed it says not phisically dead. Josiah aint physiacally dieing . They refer to spiritual death due to sin. Thats what separates us from God. But dont give advice on something you clearly dont know completely.

  • prove it

  • I liked this song, you always seem to make me teary. I like the burning passions in your songs & this was a good example of that passion. It seems to me like you're running away from somthing though - what are you running away from? Physically we die for Adam & Eve's sin, but our souls can suffer a 2nd death in hell & that's because of our sin & nonrepentance. Everything comes to the light that was in darkness - even if it happend as a freshmen. But that dosn't mean there isn't hope. God Bless

  • i like this much better than the poriginal

    i love the way he added his own little sting to it.

    not diggin the hair or the vid effects but i still love josiahh haha

  • I bet his voice changed because of smokin... smokin helps us musicians a lot.. Oh how I wish it didn't cause cancer... hays...

    -jE

  • yep, i totally called that brad pitt thing.

    hes way cuter

  • What the Buck ..LMAO..I think i just pissed my knickers...Brad Pitt? Yeah, that's a nice complement but you got to be kidding me..Haha. He's much hotter than that dude! Brad aint even Foxy..He's all suit. Plus Josiah has a sexxxier voice. Just my opinion. :)

  • Wow, he DOES look like Brad Pitt! When's he having a cd come out? I don't follow American Idol, but a friend put me on to him, and I've loved him since I heard his "One Last Song." AMAZING!

  • I totally fell in love with Josiah Leming after hearing "One Last Song" too! That song is brilliant. <3

  • wow ..beside the fact that he looks EXACTLY LIKE BRAD PITT IN THIS VIDEO, i think i even like this better than the original

  • he should've won american idol, he was two times more real than any other contestants. plus, he has such a great voice and you can tell hes singing because he just loves it, not for fame or the money.

    in this video he kind of reminds me of a young brad pitt, but cuter and chubbier cheeks.

  • You're great, but you should turn off the video effects. We all love your sweet face the way it is. :) And yes, I know I sound creepy. BUT SERIOUSLY! :D

  • Hold your ponies..Last heard he was tweeking the album..dang yall know hes a profectionist..it only makes it better for the rest of us. Aint that right babez? wink

  • wow --- amazing

  • does anyone know when his new album is coming out,

    it supposed to be coming out this month, but he hasn't posted a thing about his new album in a long time.

    anyone with information, please send me a message!

    i'm like going crazy waiting for his new album

  • ya dude me too if any1 has info send it my way too!
