still cant believe how a.i. dont not let him through. i can guess they did not like it when he kicked the band off stage lol and sung song solo which was bad rendition..but still had potential off this on performance.

i love this(: i just think he didn't know who he was then. the accent, no accent. he was living in his car..and then when the winner had the party or whatever, wasn't he trying to crash it? glad he has a record deal (apparently) now. i loveddd him when he was auditioning !

I know my comment seemed disrespectful, but seriously this kid comes across like an egotistical punk in interviews.

(Part 4)Leming inked a record deal with Warner Bros. and Reprise all the way back in May, which makes American Idols timing a bit curious, but heres guessing the producers never really got over that glorified karaoke comment he made.

(Part 3)He has personal reasons for getting his music out, threat or not. The personal reasons include wanting to rush-release his debut album so he can share the achievement with his mother, who is dying of cancer. But American Idol is seeking to prevent that from happening, sending a letter to the Leming camp that stated threatening legal action if he puts out his record in January as planned.

(Part 2)Even though Leming was booted from the show before the show narrowed its cast to 24 contestants, AIs 19 Entertainment claims that each singer signed into a contract that gave 19 exclusive rights of refusal for management, merchandising and recording, with Sony/BMG the preferred label of choice. Josiah was the only Idol contestant ever to get a record deal who didnt make the top 24, and one of only four contestants to get a deal this year, a Leming representative said.

(Part 1) This kid signed a record deal with Warner Bros Records and he said that getting kicked off American Idol was the best thing that could have happened to him. BUT! American Idol Threatens Legal Action Against Josiah Leming. Just two days after he released his album-teasing EP, Josiah Leming is already facing record company drama as the entertainment company behind American Idol threatened to pursue legal action if he releases his debut album through Reprise Records.
