If This Kid Didn’t Make It, ‘American Idol’ Must Be GREAT This Season
I am an “American Idol” fan. Watched every season. Called for three hours straight for the Ruben/Clay showdown. I know what I’m talking about when it comes to Idol.
I love Hollywood week. This year is preparing to be a great season. Josiah Leming got the boot. Little, homeless 19-year-old Josiah who did an incredible audition with the keyboard didn’t make it. I can only image how good the top 12 guys must be. They’d better be good since Josiah isn’t there.
I’ve read a lot of reports since Josiah got kicked off and I’m afraid this kid is going to let fame go to his head. He is in deed very talented; record labels are already calling him. I think FOX called him too. I just hope that he is able to manage the short-lived fame and use it to turn his life around.
American Idol is on tonight, the top 12 guys will be competing for your votes.
Okay, I love his voice….much as I loved The Pen Salesman-Guy; what was his name — Jon Lewis or something like that….but my gut tells me that something is “off” with his backstory. I think that everything he is saying is true, but presented and remixed in a context that will plays a little too well in the media. I’m sure he’ll get a contract, but as you said, I’m not confident about how he’ll handle the fame.
