article: "I wanted to stand on my voice, and my own two feet, but they wanted to know about the story and they wanted to use it. I definitely wasn't going for the sympathy vote. A lot of people think I got through on the basis of that, but who knows? They tell me I'm a 'human-interest piece'."

Aw, loved both of those videos!

I just went to watch him on Ellen and my mom stopped it from recording earlier. Dammit. I guess that's what YouTube is for... :/

"I've always been aware of the fact that one day you can be everything, and the next day you can be nothing. Stuff like that has always weighed heavy on my mind. Things are given and taken away so quickly, it's always sitting in the back of my mind that I could just be another flash in the pan. Everyone wants to be optimistic, but you also want to be realistic.

"I definitely didn't want to be one of the sob stories on 'American Idol.' I wanted to stand on my voice, and my own two feet, but they wanted to know about the story and they wanted to use it. I definitely wasn't going for the sympathy vote. A lot of people think I got through on the basis of that, but who knows? They tell me I'm a 'human-interest piece.' "

"And whether I help one person or a billion people, I don't care. And if I have to get into my car and get back on the road again and try to reach as many people as I can, that's the goal. I don't care about the fame, I don't care about the fortune. I don't need the money. I can stay alive, I've already proven that. ... I don't have any regrets, not with any of this. You've got to do things wrong before you can do them right."

*sniffle* This kid seriously brings me to new levels of "I cannot even." ♥♥

I just want to snuggle him, in like a completely little brother/ big sister kind of way.

Thanks for posting all of this.

Yeah, he is one simply amazing kid. I'm so glad Idol introduced him to the world.

I admit I started tearing up when he started talking about how the piano was his best friend and it would never let him down. Oh Josiah bb!! ♥
