Josiah Leming Doesn’t Make The Cut On American Idol!?

Every year there are at least one or two cuts made by the judges on the top 24 show with which American Idol fans strongly disagree. Last night the judges really pissed off some “American Idol” fans by eliminating fan favorite Josiah Leming. During Hollywood week, Josiah delivered again with Mika’s “Grace Kelly” which was my favorite Hollywood audition.

Josiah Leming seemed to be a judge favorite until his shaky rendition of “Stand By Me.” Judges say Leming -who lives in his car and at times sings with a faux British accent- is too confident for his own good.

I disagree 100% with the judges final decision. After the American Idol top 24 show officially revealed that Josiah was cut, the American Idol message board was overrun with upset fans.

Josiah offered up a fresh new sound to this tired and stale competition. Not only were his innocent good looks sure to win over the hearts of the teen set, but his charismatic personality and original take on music would have been a fresh breath of air!

As for the other contestants, there were no surprises when the final 24 were announced. Let’s hope we get to see more of Josiah out in the real music world where he belongs anyway!
