I don't think he had a bad attitude. He dismissed the band because as a solo musician, he had no experience with a band. Its a lot more complicated with a band, each note and beat has to be in sync. and josiah's style isn't always in a perfect beat. He slows and picks up the beat alot, it's hard to do with a band.
Too bad he pulled a Bo Bice during Hollywood week, too soon! And dismissed the band to sing acappella. Then flopped, after no sleep. He was cut on the basis of a poor performance and a bad attitude.
This kid deserves fame. Not sluts like Ke$ha, nor underages like Bieber, but this kid right here deserves fame! These singers we call "artists" today have no claim to that title. You can hear the god damned pain and passion in this guy's voice as he bleeds his heart out to anyone who will listen. All the other popular crap today is about getting laid, learning stupid dance moves, and drinking excessively, while this kid is making legitimate music that everyone ignores.
He's got kind of a weird vibrato thing going on, but I like him. If a recording studio can make Justin Beiber sound talented it could do wonders for this guy.
I love his voice so much, it's raw tallent right there ! Right there, is what we're missing big time in the music industry. RIGHT THERE is my american idol : >
he was homeless for like 3 years then did american idol and everyone fell in love with him but he didnt win he is famouse but not like david archiletta or beyonce
no one knows y he isn't famous yet. heck! i haven't even heard of this guy before until today. i think he isn't famous yet becuz singers have to work harder to be famous. maybe this kid or watever needs to work harder for that fame becuz nowadays u hear more about actors and actresses than u do singers and some bands. anyway this song isn't tht bad.
@darkstars101 he's better than you jackass. He's actually really good, I suggest you shut the fuck up and leave if you're hating on what he's trying to accomplish, you no good shit.
@darkstars101 Shut the fuck UP, I don't need to know another cock fucking asshole. Your mom is old, along with the appearace on your face. Find your own life.
Its called stating an opinion. And at what point in that comment did I say "I'm better then him"? I think hes a couple of vocal cords away from a voice. Thats my opinion, so go pound sand faggot fan boy.
@RocketDomiLane Yeah but like someone said in the other comment board, that he signed a contract with warner brothers and should have his cd out this yr.
his mother passed away... and he signed with warner bros but the contract he signed with American idol told him he could only record for SONY/BMG only.. for a certian amount of time.
too cwal99: actually ur rite, i watched an interview of him and then read the script after. and he said he kinda needed to get away frm the depression and he also wanted to go out and earn money to help pay for his mom's hospital bills and such which he did by playing in clubs and obviously hoping to win american idol. im not saying he's the greatest guy because he has admited to mistakes in his life and im not trying to make him seem perfect.
oh come on guys, just forget what he did or where he come from, just heard his music and if u like his music then nice and if u dont then nice too, we're not the same kind of ppl .. well i just want to put an end to this. well cya and take care :P
I dont care what anyone says! This young man has a old sole! I can relate to everything he sings. I wish him nothing but the best! and forget the rest!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
omg what a pathetic little kid. seriously. no offense, but like, did ANYONE else realize how many times he cried during the season he was on? he cried like every time he mentioned how he lived in his car, and lol its not cuz he's "sensitive", i think he has an emotional issue. u guys can give him all the sympathy u want i think hes pretty pathetic. hah
in my opinion i dont think he's really that amazing but i think to criticize him for being emotional is immature. It obviously paid off because he's more successful now. You may think his music is sad but he still got you to watch him whether you like it or not.
Not having a home is a serious thing. His music is deep and he pours everything he has into each song. He's a truly deep human being, why trash talk him? If he isn't sensetive, I dont know who is. Have you actualy listened to his music?
ok well do u even know why he doesnt have a home? he even said it. he said he was really selfish so he got kicked out of his house. that was his dicision, its not like he had no choice. so i think for people to give him sympathy cuz he lives in a car because he was a jerk is stupid. im not trash talking, its the truth. and yes i have listened to his music and hes nothing special.
i loved him on AI. every time i love someone on american idol, they get cut on the hollywood rounds. i think i may have jinxed them all. maybe i should stop my love?
umm duh i know that. do u have a problem with me commplementing or somthing? wow. like all the comments say stuff that, its not like its him but were just saying. gosh.
I only see 2 comments written in 2nd person form...1 of them including yours. I was just explaining that this wasn't posted by Josiah Leming. Sorry if I came across as rude.
And this is why I don't watch American Idol anymore.. he should have gone all the way.
