JOSIAH LEMING HAS THE MOST SICKEST VOICE IN THE WORLD!!! He is amazing!! he should've been the top 24... but hey he said it "everything happens for a reason", and he is right...Gosh I'm in llooovveeee with him!!!!! He just grabs people's attention, his sound, or maybe his British accent, or when he sings the high notes...He is adorable!!! his likeable!!!! Josiah would deffenatly go far, and has an amazing future ahead of him, and this just the beginning!!!

THANK U SOOOOOO MUCH for having this kid on your show. i really feel that he has a great talent. he really makes my heart melt when he sings. i can only hope that we see more of him. it would be nice if someone gave him a record deal. American Idol gave up an awesome singer. thanks again!

Hey Ellen, Watsuuppp!
all I can say is the minute I saw this kid,I said he is special,they should have put him through for sure,I wish he had sang that song for his second round! he just grabbed mt heart from his personality,to his smile,to his talent and big heart! he will be a star on his own,and thanks to you he has a big start,that was so generous of you,what a big heart you have,you make gloomy days bright for alot of us..Thank you Ellen,Laurie, from cape cod mass.

Ellen, thanks so much for having Josiah Leming on your show. I have watched the DVR of it over and over again.

Josiah has a beautiful talent at combining lyrics and music to form songs that are absolutely haunting. Also, I am surprised at how comfortable he seems in front of the camera. He's a natural!

I am going to be watching his rise to the top. Thanks for being a part of it!

I have never really tuned in to your show. Nothing personal I just don't have time for TV. However, I absolutely love Josiah Leming. I want to see so much more of him. I now am recording your show. I will be watching ellen from now on. Please help Josiah make it. He is the next big star he has the talent. I also loved the special you did on Christina. Thank you for recognizing his talent! Your awesome! Cassie

Hi, Ellen!! This is Carrie Leigh Barnes from Dallas Tx!! I DVR your show everyday... crazy enough, so does my sister, and my mom. As soon as you had Josiah on your show, they were blowing up my phone! I live in Austin now, sadly, away from them, to go school. I miss them like Crazy.... I have a friend on AI right now, but I know Josiah should have had a chance! I think it's amazing what you've done for him and you never fail to impress me, or us for that matter. I don't know how you stay so happy everyday! I pray I can be like that. We love you....
Carrie, Courtney, and Barbara Jean Barnes... she'd kill me if I told you her middle name... shhh!! lol (nickname: Tookie) holla

Ellen,

Thank you so much for having Josiah on your show on Tuesday. I can't believe Idol producers would let him get away, but obviously your producers are a little bit smarter!

It is an inspiration to see Josiah sing, I can't wait to see what he does in the future. Thank you so much for finding him and putting him on your show.

Wow Ellen. I am so glad you had him on your show. He truly is amazing. He is so inspiring, and he is very talented. I hope you have him on your show again soon.

Posted by Amber | February 21, 2008 7:40 PM

I hope Ellen helps this kid out get a record deal or something or at least produce his first album :) He is amazing and is really marketable. Better piggy back on the Idol bandwagon and publicity.... If William Hung did it for lack of singing talent, Josiah will really make it.
