  • Oh Morristown, Yeah I've heard of that place. Heh Heh I live there so its funny. Definitely No one with British accents here

  • I FUCKING LOVE HIM

  • Look at where he is now<3

  • @Danzo775 Oh, sorry I was too busy listening to his talent. playing gigs pays a little. what if his car breaks down and needs repair and getting oil changed? that shit cost a lot

  • how does he get money for gas? 

  • @KayTeaInWonderland when you watch the video do you just close your ears? He said he played shows, probably in small clubs and venues and got paid.

  • Warner brothers signed him up with a contract after he failed, so call him a nobody, but what have you done with yo life?

  • lol he cried on TV

  • what an amazing guarantee he made

  • man...i did not like him at all when he auditioned...but listening to him live, and to his composed stuff....amazing stuff....this where i think idol's greatest shortfall is that theyre not looking for artists, just cookie cutters with perfect voices and showman moves on stage...prob the reason why most of them fizzle out

  • he should be a lead singer of a band

  • if these ass hat judges didn't know...that's how a lot of acoustic/alternative bands and solo artists make their vocals sound and people seem to eat that shit up. i thought he sounded great

  • he's a cutie...lol

  • haha! That's hilarious witht he accent and all...Haha! Yep, he's been alone in his car listening to the British singing a little too long.

  • ENGLAND FOR THE ENGLISH you tosser

  • american idol is a joke compared to xfactor

  • "You got three people who like you..." Mine as well said, "Three people who like you... Cause I know I hate you... And the rest of the world couldn't be that fond."

  • this dude was SSOOO annoying.....

  • @jimbeezy07 Yeah he was, but he isn't anymore. He's an incredible artist now. Plus he was a baby 'cause he was all alone and his mom was dying of cancer..

  • @totalmeltdown911 Thats 2 bad. I didnt know his mom was sick, but I'm glad to hear homeboy got his shit 2gether.

  • what´s the name of the song at the end of the video? Not the Joshua Radin song....

  • @algigo its called ohh la by the kooks

  • @munguia19 sorry mean ooh la

  • he most win because he is god and he leavs in a car he needs money !!

  • Josiah has the "XFactor".  American Idol simply wasn't ready for him. He was before his time.

  • lol whats wrong with you dude. You mad? Somebody asked whats the song in the background ~ closer by Josh Radin~

  • still gives me goosebumps! ( :

  • His mom is Australian >_> douche bags

  • I'm from Morristown :)

  • look up the korian homeless kid on korean got talent

  • The song is Closer by Josh Radin

  • @cammowe1 shutup its called to run

    noob

  • I feel like I was lucky I didn't watch it real time.

    (But also I was lucky I could find him in overseas)

    I could see him as a musician,not a person in reality TV.

  • what's the name of the song at min 1:07???

  • I LOVE him <3

  • Aha, I must have a twisted sense of humor. I laughed when he cried because he said his car is "all he needs" and then was crying because he was lonely. Oh well. Carry on emotional peoples.

  • I love him.

  • 240P, we meet again >:o VARY DISH-OHNARABUL!

  • OHMIGOSH I watched his audition on TV and LOVED him; He was my fav :) when he was cut I began to wonder what was going on in his life...just today I saw somebody's profile picture (it was of him). I had no idea who he was so I found him on iTunes (I'm buying his songs now) and I watched this video. CRAZINESS! I'VE FINALLY FOUND HIM!!!!! This is unbelievable :)

  • I had watched this on youtube after seeing him live in October and it was very emotional when he says "It's gonna be worth it someday, I know it is." Because it was like his someday was a reality the night before.

  • When he cried at first! I almost had to cry to, He is so cute! and i really like his name

  • awright...

  • i was like in love with him when he was still on there he's adorable and is like amazing. i was mad when they sent him home

  • whats the first song in the background?

  • It's funny when he says that it's weird going from seeing them on TV to reality cause that is exactly how I felt when I met him! He is unbelievable, words can't even describe how amazing he is and I am so glad that he is still around and staying with the Lemingheads!

  • oh no i cried fuck

  • ha..gas prices are too high to live in your car!

  • i'm in love.

  • they totally missed out.

  • "the british are taking over" AHAHAHA died.

  • @BlueSkyesable "Closer" - Joshua Radin.

  • IT IS JOE-SSSSSS-EYE-UH ASSHOLE.

  • @Mondires my name is josiah and i always get that :P

  • @BobandSteveFilms Me too lol.

  • i LOVE Josiah soooo much!!!!<3 when i found him on youtube it was love at first sight!!!!:D

  • HE should've been the Justin Bieber.

  • @LivingLikeSlaves no because everyone would hate him xD

  • @CHEVYedsf true dat, true dat. but he's way cuter and way more talented and therefore deserves way more attention then this jb fag. well maybe the low level of attention is what makes me love him so <3

    DAMN i love him

  • @LivingLikeSlaves Omg He's SO much better looking than JB. Lmao

  • damn that took them way too long to decide to say yes

  • i loved when he sang chasing cars

    i love him as well

    youll get your chance one day !!!!!

  • "...it's gonna be worth it someday i know it." that you are right about josiah <3

  • i like how after he is told he sings british... he starts talking british.

  • he has a horrible voice, I don't care his tears

  • i have better stuff to do then bash people online all day. i know this is youtube and that's all ppl seem to do anymore on here. i'll admit he has a good voice and he is a decent songwriter, but the fact that he lied about all that just to try to boost himself bothers me. i wanted ppl to know how much of a phony he is.

  • @dirtywyteboi is mom died in knoxville though ... and she was diagnosed in 2000? so ... i don't think he skipped just like that .... like youre making it seem. In fact, your story is pretty hard to believe.

  • @dirtywyteboi is mom died in knoxville though ... and she was diagnosed in 2000? Oh yeah ... he also had 8 siblings? so ... i don't think he skipped just like that .... like youre making it seem. In fact, your story is pretty hard to believe.

  • idk man. i never heard of matrix city, ga. anyways tho, if it helps to prove my point, his sister's name lacey & you can find her on facebook. idk bout matrix ga being on my channel or whatever. i didn't even know i had a channel. but i assure you i'm from morristown, tn. it ain't a big deal, man. i just hate seeing ppl go out and try to act pathetic when they've had shit handed to them their entire lives. know what i mean? for the ones of us that haven't, it's pretty offensive.

  • "any publicity is good publicity" right?

    how else do you get publicity than going onto a show like american idol with a story of how you've been living in your car for "10-12 months" and somehow you still have clean clothes and a million pairs of shoes and a guitar with obviously newish strings on it.....c'mon ppl. don't show sympathy for this little twit. He's a decent singer, but he's a total asshole. Ignored his mom until death and tried to pull off a fake british accent......WHAT THE FUCK??

  • @dirtywyteboi A bit hard to believe, especially since this the internet... People go around saying anything and this sounds ridiculous but who knows.

  • He's a spoiled little brat, if you ask me. He had everything in life handed to him and when it got a little rough (his mom having cancer) he flew the coop. Yall are probably thinking he took care of his mom when he made a record right?? Negative. He never called to check on her or came by Morristown since the American Idol tryout (except right after, I think for a short time) until she passed away and he came to the funeral with cameras upon cameras like he was Brad Pitt or something...

  • I'm from Morristown. My ex was good friends with Josiah's sister and I wanna set the record straight on this kid.

    He wasn't homeless. His family is very wealthy. They live in one of the nicest subdivisions in Morristown and his mom came down with cancer. He took money from her and bought this rink-a-dink car he was driving in this video. He ran off and left his mom because he's selfish and didn't want to take care of her like he needed to. He left it all up to his 300lb (estimate) sister.

  • @dirtywyteboi How come your channel says you're from Matrix City, Georgia, not Morristown, Tennessee? Sounds like you're lying

  • Whatever morons are saying he is nowhere right now, are completely ignorant. He has grown up and released an album in 2010 and his voice is stronger than ever. He is such a somebody. In fact, he's not just a somebody, he's Josiah Leming, and he has a glorious voice.

  • alright loool

  • guess it didn't work out there for ya did it buddy?

  • he a douche... where is he now? being a nobody

  • @jorge10928 who the hell are you? you just post hate comments and dont do shit? congrats faggot.

  • @plungepro who the hell are you? you just post hate comments and dont do shit? congrats faggot.

  • my name is josiah!! =) lol i wanna do american idol also please check my channel and tell me if i could make it

  • when i watched this on tv a few years ago, i never thought that i would actually meet this guy...twice. best live performance, hes really something amazing! support support support!

  • i know i commented already, but i just have to say this after watching again, as i remember it.

    This was the only contestant in Idol, or in TV history, that made me cry. Just listening to the hardships this kid endured, being alone in this world, but still maintaining a positive outlook on something as huge as Idol, and those cocksucking judges cut him because he wasn't comfortable working with a band. He blew them away with his voice alone, then they just wouldn't allow it again?

  • BOY GOO BAK HOME..n get ya life 2getha!!!

  • @daedaebelly His life IS together. He's releasing an album and making perfectly good dough selling his music and playing shows. His music is actually great.

  • @daedaebelly he did

  • I LOVED HIM WHEN HE WAS ON THERE!!!

  • Simon said Joshua again towards the end there.

  • the first time he cried, i almost cried too. i love him :)

  • omg i fell so bad thumbs up if im right

  • The 2 male judges are very wrong about him singing with a British accent.Josiah was very formal with his song and the lyrics were very touching. amazingly the judges said he sounded like snow patrol and then named a song from them and he new the song they were talking about and sung it very well. When Simon says the British are taking over america, well good guess Einstein. its where we got or language the English migrated from england to america, like George Washington, and many more.

  • @tylermcclinton618 Just quit

  • he deserves it. <3

  • dude thats what i wana do when i grow up.

  • I didn't even know he was on American Idol... :O

  • Just so everyone knows, he's a lot more relaxed with a keyboard, he seems awkward here. Brilliant guy.

  • @Pincusx1755 you caո ԝаtсհ tv from all οver tհe ԝorld οո yοur pс jսѕt by downloаdinց ѕοmе рrοgrаm, it's ցοt thοusаոdѕ οf сհaոոеls on it. jսst go to linevid com (рսt a . bеfοre tհe сom οbvіouѕly, іt ԝoո't let mе рost lіnkѕ fοr somе reasoո) іt's ոοt ехaсtly frеe bսt іt'ѕ ϳuѕt one time рaymеnt and іt ԝorks rеаlly wеll

  • he cried too much during the season but i like his voice(:

  • I don't really know anything about this guy, but I am going to hear him and Tyler Hilton in concert tonight. I hope he's good. I have enjoyed the little bit I have heard on Youtube.

  • Comment removed

  • oh now i remember him!

  • i love how when he sings he can't help moving his hands and fingers.. like hes dying to have his piano in front of him. :)

  • he went to my schoool

  • 0:49 the asian bear on the car seat. josiah loves asians! <3

  • i met him the other day i went to a concert with my girlfriend he's really good and hes nice too

  • hes preety good

  • just saw him at my school. amazing.

  • @ohheylova do u go to cortland!? i just saw him too!!

  • haha he was just at my school

  • hes coming to my hs tomorrrrrorow. (:

  • Hes coming to my highschool tomorrow((:

  • to run makes my life

  • just met him today! :)

  • What song was playing during his interview?

  • met this guy today at school! whoop whoop! hes so sexiii<3333. hahaha. andd ahmazing!!

  • I just met him face-to-face! He's surprisingly short. 0.o

  • he was at my school today!

  • @haybalee He's going to out school pretty soon(:

  • 0:50

    That right there shows just how badly he needed to be the winner of this competition, to be adored and loved by all of america, he isn't afraid to show his emotions on national tv. Half of his songs are all about his own experiences. Listen to To Run (In the vid) and This Cigar. amazing. You can find him on iTunes. Her is an amazing song as well! Just go buy some of his stuff. It's poetry.

  • I miss him </3

  • lol..somethings never change..still a big ham.sweet. Never forget these moments Mr. I know itwould bhard to believe that you were not the only one to be feeling utterly lonesome in this world. You were not alone. Anyhoo, I still think Randy was on to something. Front man with a back up..chello and base im tellin you that you wouldnt regret it!! would be a more musically mature side. And a casual image styled to fit. In my best belief would suit you best. Only time will tell aye.

  • its my old buddy Josiah he was actually at my/his old church this morning he is back home visiting his family and friends, I got to talk to him after church, surprisingly after about 6 years, he still remembered me, and his exact words were when he saw me was, "Hey Nathan hows it going dude", and I mentioned that I started playing guitar 4 years ago, and he told me to keep playing and that he hopes to see me make it in the music industry, so that was pretty cool, all in all it was a good day.

  • What was the song playing from the beginning?

  • Comment removed

  • @MrUser383883 it should be Joshua Radin singing 'Closer'...

  • beautiful

  • i think it was his strategy with accent to push simon heart

  • Sometime when you try to speak with british accent, you couldn't stop doing. really hard

  • @calciumkid85 i know. i feel josiah fans will attack us for calling him out on it. but he's from morristown tennessee not the uk. its crazy how he keeps trying to have that accent. i'd love him all the same even if he didnt have that.

  • @elisabethhannah10

    Jedward have american accents, and they're irish.

  • My sister met him when he went to Boston for a concert and she got a picture with him. He's a cutie. (: The good voice is a bonus. (:

  • "pillawsss"

  • omg i almost peed at "the british are taking over" lol i think josiah is just so cute and adorable tho

  • haha, i was just thinking it, and then the judges said it "he doesn't sound like he's from tennessee...."

  • @jimbeezy07 haha you be trollin!!!!!!!!!

  • i guess it's true.. people that been true allod of sh*t are always the one that will get a great future

  • i was kinda sad they didn't give him a bigger chance...like top 12 you know? but...i'm glad to hear he's now making CD's and stuff! good for him!

  • OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I LOVE THE KOOKS (at the end!) SO AWESOME.

    Ok... And he's cute, imo. Very sweet boy. I'm glad they gave him a chance.

  • i wonder where he showers?

  • where do you poop dude... bath?

    that's hard.

  • prostitute

  • his story is touching

  • @gomergilligan - You're a moron.

  • he is so so sweet. When he cried I just felt his big heart there. I almost cried too.... Lovely person..... he was nervous but that cut of him singing before the audition was great....

  • i didnt know he came from American Idol

  • sounds like panic at the disco

  • :20-26 yo he got that dam line from titanic leo said that biter lol

  • Whats the name of the song in the beginning?

  • @Niwocajo Closer by Joshua Radin i believe

  • this is a really awkward audition what with judges' reactions... and getting the song wrong lol.

  • So good! His story is sad :(

  • the kooks <3

  • his talking voice has an english accent too. :D it is cute!

  • @iaozuna I'm going to venture a guess and just say he's not stupid enough to actually believe that being a high school drop out and playing guitar on the road is supporting his family. Let's just call a duck a duck. If he really needed to help his family he would have gotten a job and stuck around. There is nothing in the world wrong with following your dreams. I just HATE it when people aren't straight forward about it. The hardest path by the way is finishing high school and working hard.

  • @Rivalen5 Yeah but you don't really know him and his life history.

  • @UtubeDuDeDuh I don't have to know his life story to know that being a high school drop out isn't helping his family.

  • next American idol season (season 9 wont be the same without Simon Cowell, Ellen and Kara dio are boring judges,, I miSs paula abdul, too

  • did he make it in the top 24, i didn't really watch season 7,,,

  • I like how he picked up a british accent

  • i hate them american idol bitch judges

  • I agree with everyone saying he brought dropping out of school and being homeless onto himself, but when he was crying it was still sad, and I felt sympathetic.

  • how far did this guy go in the show?

  • I'm gonna get hated on for this....but it's his own fault he's crying about having nothing. Dropping out and living in his car, both his own decisions.

  • im still in love with him <3

  • He must be a tiny person. He is smaller than Ryan, and Ryan is pretty small. But mad talent is in that little package.

  • hey josiah, it's worth it now.

  • I love himmmm

    he is amazing

  • He's adorable! lolz

  • what is the song that starts at 1:03???

  • this is the great josh radin with closer... unfamous from scrubs.
