ATTENTION: JOSIAH TWITTERED........Josiah Leming: Satisfied EP due out September 10th ( : on iTunes and I'll have hard copies at all live shows! I'll give you more info soon! Love you guys.
focus .....focus...oh my fuck ..this is someome else.. I dont know this artist. The end was killing me!!..stay away from the Jim babz..anything but that, cause it really fucks u up..but that wsa then and this is now.. i do believe u are a new man!! i only speak the truth from my heart because i really am one who honestly cares. love meg
i love josiah but maann he looks a mess. i think its all kind of getting to him, and that upsets me. he had such a pure talent. i hope he can take a break and pull it back together.
pixelrow is just being douche. If Josiah continues to written songs of this quality, he will definitely keep himself if the foreground of music history, to the contrary of what pixelrow said about needing a amazing voice to make a mark on the music seen, artist like Conor Oberst and Bob Dylan. I am interested to see how he does.
This is one of the most beautiful songs that i've heard in a long time. It's just really bad that his voice is so stressed. You can tell he has been doing alot of shows, he needs to slow down a bit and take some time off. We need more musicians like Josiah. Artists that actually write meaningful text and perform them with feeling. I wish him all the luck because he deserves it. Hype or not, this song is excellent.
Idk what was up here, cause I saw him perform last night, after weeks of playing shows every other day and sometimes, consecutively. And his voice sounded fine. Really weird. Guess he's matured! :]
pixelrow, you really need to keep your comments to yourself if you're going to be talking down to people for liking something that you don't. people like YOU are what's wrong with america today, because they're incapable of understanding the idea of DIFFERENT. if everyone liked everything you did, i'd personally be the first to put a bullet through my skull.
Singing from an artistic stand point is more about projection of emotion than projection of a note. Giving life and a sense of realism to a song. I will take a singer with soul over a singer with tremendous range any day, I want to feel the music not just hear it. There are few singers today that will rival the amount of soul and raw emotion put forth by Josiah Lemming.
lol - give it a year you wont even know his name. If he really is that good you will know in a year .... else - here is another wanna be teens. And there a hell of lot of them out there
I don't know what it is with people these days that have to call others out on their own opinions. Obviously, we believe in different things - I think he's been given an amazing ability to sing, and you might think the total opposite, etcetcetc - so let's just agree to disagree.
actaully - you are not entitled to an OPINION if it is not well qualified, researched and correct. As a classical trained singer - I can pick up what you cannot then. Josiah Lemming is not a spectacular singer... a hell of a lot of pop singers arent these days. But a whole lot are like Freddie Mercury or say Michael Jackson or even Elvis - now these ppl are spectacular singers. OK you dont have to be famous as these to be spectacular but tell me now honestly do you think Josiah Lemming compare?
It doesn't matter to me how much of a better critic you are because of your experience in singing, and doesn't matter to me who you say has superb talent and who doesn't. Because, when it comes down to it--and, yes, I do believe, even if it's not the most accurate opinion, I am entitled to an OPINION--my belief is that this young 'wanna-be' teenager is, and will continue to be, a spectacular singer. He may not have the same talent as MJ or Elvis, but he does have talent.
You act as though what you say is fact, the final word, and anyone who happens to think differently you argue with. Example being Bigcoled and I. I'm sorry to break it to you, but people happen to think Josiah Leming is an extremely beautiful singer--you don't have to be popular within the year for people to know that you have a brilliant gift.
Even if you reply back to this with some other explanation for why I should say Josiah is not a spectacular singer, it won't happen. Deal with it.
Of course he is not a spectacular singer - you have already admitted it. Even William Hung has got fans pepople even like his singing - and he is terrible and cannot sing at all. A few poxy singers here and there are hardly the criteria of success.
Actaully for ppl like Josiah Leming - youtube is the right platform - he has not even got this cracked.
Dogma and ppl like you are whats wrong with the world today. You probably think the Earth is fla too. More ppl dont like him. Deal with it.
You know, you probaly aren't meaning too--in fact, I think your goal is the total opposite--but your replies make me smile. More so because it's amusing to watch you come up with ways to warp my words than it is because I enjoy speaking to you. Look, I've already made it pretty clear--crystal clear, I would hope--that I do believe he's a spectacular singer and my opinion won't be changing any time soon.
And I've already stated that it's fine if you think differently than I, just don't correct me on how I feel about the singer and what I think of the singer. I never admitted to anything, but if that's what you need to believe to keep you from throwing yourself off a cliff, than so be it.
I think I've said enough on this matter, and, though it might provide some entertainment on my time, I have better things to do and more relevant things to discuss.
Why do you believe he is a spectacular singer? You have trouble coming up with any shred of evidence - BUT I have given a lot of evidence against. And in one point even you agreed he does not compare well to like of MJ or Elvis. Surely - even you know in your heart of heart - that he is not going to amount to much, will make some money, sell a few records and albums, then dis-appear.
Then you hold a false opinion - which I dont think u really hold but are just too stubborn to admit. :-) Bye
He has raw talent, an original voice. You are hearing a live version of his voice. It's not hiding behind vocal editing, it is himself and a piano. If all you want to do is bring people down then go somewhere else and keep your opinions to yourself because no one wants to hear them. I wish you all the luck Josiah, you are ten times as talented as half of the lip singing pop artists and rich punks that have rich dads to pay for a recording studio. If you cant say something nice, dont say anything
I think he needs to slow down. I love him, however he needs to relax more. This made me so sad to see him so desperate. You can see he wants it so bad. Worner brothers are making him work WAY TO HARD!!!! they need to slow him down. Ahhhhhhh!!! I wanta cry seeing this!
he's still an AMAZING singer even if he had to take off his falsetto... he still sang with his heart for the concert and the viewers.... ahhh!!! ILY josiah...!
wow im a big josiah fan...this is not the josiah i hear on his other songs..wow this was bad..guess he needs to rest his voice..and take a break. this was almost painful to listen too.
hey, it's yer tennant DJ..........I finally Youtoobed ya.......it's my last night in da hood Dawg!..........YEEEEAHHHHH
