American Idle

Remember Josiah Leming? The kid with the ebullient personality who lived out of his car during the American Idol 7 auditions? For some odd reason the kid got booted before the Top 50, but he stormed back with a vengeance and didn’t let the Hollywood bigwigs get in his way of becoming famous.

All he did (in order) was stay in Hollywood, hit the talk-show circuit, become more famous than most of the Idols chosen for the Top 24 in season 7 (honestly, do you remember what some of them did?) AND put out his own album.

And he did this (drum roll please) before most of the season 7 finalists! Now some are saying this album is all over the place and I don’t agree. What I will say is that the album has a lot of variety, which is a hell of a lot different from some overproduced, hype-ridden (yeah, Kristy Lee Cook, we’re talkin’ about your album) piece of crap.

Josiah has basically catapulted himself into the same breath as Sanjaya, except Leming actually put out an album. Sanjaya, last I checked, is still doing those insurance commercials.

So go check out Josiah Leming‘s new EP, “Angels Undercover” by going to my “other American Idol” Web site and clicking on American Idle Store in the upper left corner of the page. You’ll be glad you did!
