The real American Idol?

I've missed the last - I don't know how many - seasons of American Idol.

Somehow this year, maybe because of the lack of programs due to the writer's strike, I started watching American Idol. And for the most part, I thought the music sucked although the show was entertaining. Listening to people show off their pipes to a Whitney or Celine song is really not my thing. 

But one guy, I thought was amazing during one of his auditions, although he did not get through to the final 24. Josiah Leming, whose rendition of Mika's Grace Kelly, knocked my socks off. I thought it was actually more compelling than than Mika's original.    

I ran across his original music today on Youtube and thought it was amazing. Can't get the lyrics out of my head... He just might end up bigger than the winner of AI.  

To run - Josiah Leming
