Josiah Leming Performs Mika’s “Grace Kelly,” Awes Simon Cowell
Posted February 13th, 2008 in All, Commentary, Entertainment, Music and TV Moment of the WeakHere is our promised follow-up to yesterday’s post declaring Josiah Leming the winner of all seven seasons of American Idol, at least as far as we’re concerned. If you have any interest in his back story, and it’s pretty interesting, watch the whole video. While the other contestants are preening and primping, Josiah has the starry-eyed look of an 18 year old who has spent the last two years living out of his car, and now finds himself sleeping on a real live bed, with sheets and everything.
If you’re not interested in his back story, just fast forward to his performance on stage. Make sure to take note of the glint in Simon’s eyes, which means a great deal more than the smile on his face. Meanwhile Paula hits the nail on the head for once, saying “You have a magical thing about you… You make people smile. You make the girls fall in love with you, you make the guys think you’re cool.”
Or as Truthiness puts it, “He left Randy sounding like Paula, Paula sounding like Simon, and Simon virtually speechless.”
