American Idle

It’s official; Josiah Leming will be coming out with his EP Angels Undercover! This is exciting news for all of the Josiah fans, including myself. And we have his video for the song above!! It’s phenomenal!!!

Of course all the hullabaloo about the album not coming out started when rumors were flying about American Idol and 19 Entertainment putting a halt to Leming’s album, which we covered here recently in great detail.

Leming, for those who don’t know, is the kid who auditioned for Idol 7, sleeping in his car and homeless while his mother battled cancer. It was a sad day when Josiah was let go during Hollywood Week just prior to the announcement of the Top 50.

Many in the know believed Leming was among the better of the competitors and he has a rabid following among teenagers and adults alike. There is just something likeable about this kid from Tennessee, who has an everyday look but a haunting voice reminiscent of John Lennon. There is definitely a Lennon-esque quality to “Angels Undercover.”

His video is solid like all of his other material. It’s good to see that we will have some excellent music coming out of somebody from season 7 other than the Two Davids. It’s just hilarious and rather ironic that it’s coming from somebody who didn’t even make the Top 50.

Wonder if Idol thinks they made a mistake with this guy? I’ll bet they think so now.
