Josiah Leming may have gotten eliminated from American Idol but Ellen welcomed him with open arms. Ellen is a big fan and made sure that Josiah didn't leave empty handed.

I think that American Idol made a HUGE mistake! All it takes is the right person to hear and give a dream a chance!
Hang in there Josiah!! Your going to be make it big!
Love his voice and cant wait for your first album!
Mom must be proud!
Thanks Ellen for helping him and encouraging him to take it further!

beautiful voice!!

I thought Josiah was adorable and very talented while on Idol - I had him predicted to win the competition and was very sad when he left. Today when I heard his song on your show once again I was blown away. He is talented musically, instrumentally and can write a song to touch the depths of your soul. Good Luck - publish the song so we can enjoy it again!

I loved Josiah song that he performed on your show. He will be a great stars a lot of great people said they slept in their cars before they got their big start. I will but his CD when it comes out!

Hey Ellen, i just wanted to say first and formost, I LOVE YOU!!! AND YOUR SHOW! I think your absolutley AMAZING. I dont watch American Idol, but the young man that performed on your show is soo absolutley talented with an amazing voice. (I got chills up and down my back)I love to hear more of him! Well take care, much love, Brittany

Ellen, Josiah absolutely amazes me! When he sings it brings chills down my spine and butterflies in my belly. Could you ask him that if he happends to be in the Dominican Republic the week of Feb 8-15th, 2009 if he would sing in our wedding?
Far fetched I know, he just brings out such a feeling when he sings that even my fiance(Jason MacDonald) had tears in his eyes listening to him on American Idle. That's my big fantacy.
You never know he might decide to take a vacation next year, in the Dominican, Punta Cana, at the Majestic Colonial resort. Dream Big,right? Luv Cindy Latendre

Big fan of your show!

Ellen i have watched your show everyday for the last year you are my favorite show to watch.

Josh!!!!

You are AWESOME!!!! Thank you for having enough strength and courage to step out and share your talents!!

Thank you Ellen! I LOVE Josiah!! He is so very talented and I think greatly deserved a chance on idol more so than many of the people that made it to the top 20. I would buy his CD today, and I don't tend to buy many CDs. I desperately want to help him reach his dreams!

Thanks again Ellen for giving him an opportunity, he will be a star!

Great Songwriter! I hope his music is available soon.

I would buy this today if it were possible! If Ellen put this preformance online to buy, I'd do it, especially knowing the $$$ would go straight to this sweet guy and his mom!!!!

I confess, I hardly ever watch American Idol. Nor for that matter was I aware of Josiah, until seeing him trying to get into a party for "fallen idols" on some TV show. Seeing him on Ellen's show, hearing a little of his story, was interesting; hearing him perform blew me away - I felt the emotion he conveyed in the song. I was in tears. What a beautiful soul in a talented young man.

Thanks so much for giving Josiah Leming a stage and chance to perform.I am a 50 year old mother who cried so hard when he was kicked off idol!No child should be on his on at that age, I know this ,as I was! Now to hear his Mom is ill , breaks my heart even more! I will pray that this gives him the opportunity and exposure he needs for that break he's looking for !! He rocks, you rock Ellen and congrats to you and your beautiful partner! Watching daily from Ontario, that's one of those silly PROVINCE'S in CANADA!! Karen Shields-Muir P.S.`I will also pray you do not have to cook alot !! I'm just sayin !

He is very talented. Is that his own song, or was it written by another artist. I also heard that he got a recording contract, but hasn't signed it yet. I'm not sure if that's true though. Best of luck, Josiah! I love you Ellen !!!

Best Wishes and Good Luck!!
Sorry about idol ....You are not main streem.... You have a special style...It would not have worked for you any way....This is ssssooooo much better so you can be YOU when you sing !!!!!Not what some one else wants to see!!!!Todays Elton John ????? This Kid has alot of talent. Not a bunch of empty lines.....There is true heart and soul in this music.....Magic and Conection with every word and note played...Just like some of the clasics....WTG ...You keep climbing young man....you are almost to the TOP....

You've got IT !!!!!

Please, don't forget Josiah. He has a gift. May he be given one in return. Where is he now? What is he doing? I wish him success.
