they tell me i'm nothing more than a tragedy.

josiah bb! \o/

from the chick who correctly spoiled the top 24 and is therefore probably legit:

I just talked to Josiah. He is SO EXCITED!! The Ellen show called him this morning and said the first thing that Ellen said when she walked into work today was "Get Josiah on the Show" She adored him and is pissed he was cut. He's being flown out on Sunday and will tape on Monday. He gets to sing a original song. He thinks he is going to sing "One last song".

The excitement in his voice made my heart so happy. I'm so happy for him.

I think the episode will air on Tues, but am not sure about that. He will let us know as soon as it airs.

squee! oh, i'm so happy for him!

also, here he is on vote for the worst radio. i haven't listened yet, but my (admittedly biased and fangirly) friend said he's adorable on it.

EDIT: ok, i'm listening now and he IS adorable. ♥ he sings coldplay and is silly and awkward and just aw!

"you gotta look back and look for the bright side rather than sitting at home drinkin' every night and going 'shit, i didn't make it'."

"i was NOT gonna be another guy singing bryan adams."

"i'm an avid fan of short girls...tall girls intimidate me." (he's 5'4" and a half, aw.)

"LOVE regina spektor." *swoon*

guys hit on him via myspace; it's not his thing but he's totally fine with it.

"i wasn't trying to play games - all the girls i flirted with knew about the other ones." lol.

pimps little david.

awww, he talks about his mom towards the end. :( ♥

re idol screentime: "i'm really not THAT emotionally distraught...my cry ratio is not 5 tons/2 hours on a constant basis, i promise that."

he was excited when his thread got started on VFTW, lol.

Eeeeee! He is ridiculous! And omg, he is pimping little david ala David Arch? *faints* That just makes me like him even more. I totes understand why guys hit on him on myspace. ^^;; People want to protect him yo!

Josiah...I'm 5'1, bb!

Ahh, I just love him. And him being on Ellen is AMAZING exposure. Especially since he's going to be singing one of his own songs. I don't think any Top 50 contestants ever got this kind of media attention, lol.

This is exciting news, thank you!

So if tapes on Monday, any idea when it would air, like Tuesday? I'm so excited for him getting more exposure, he really deserves it and I hope he does sing "one last song" because it is a hit waiting to happen.

Hi! I was doing a search for Josiah Leming and found your journal, and I think your entries about him are so cute, haha! I was wondering if it would be okay if I could add you? My friends list is getting tired of me talking about him, so I have been looking for someone that could understand! Haha.

(I also love your icon!! :D)
