sorry to Corrine Bailey Rae…..people need to stop being idiotic when taking drugs…if anything, although it’s bad, if ur taking them, less is more people…

still, it’s so sad, great musician, handsome man….just sad for her.

stop “doing” stupid drugs, or risk your life. smoke pot instead. no one has ever “O.D.ed” on weed.

Isn’t their a better way to kill yourself rather than drugs. Like old age maybe?

Josiah leming: He is AMAZING! Good for him, Warner Bros. is a great label!
John Lennon, Bob Dylan move over, Josiah Leming is coming. This guy is is amazing, such talent has not been seen in a loong time, I was incredibly impressed by him when I first heard him on his MySpace account, he has some songs for purchase but you can also just listen to them, doesn’t matter you’ll end up buying them anyway, they are all extraordinary! Everything, from the melodies to the lyrics it’s just too good to pass on. He is a triple threat he sings well, he writes his own melodies and he’s an amazing lyricist. And he’s only…how old?? 18?? WOW!!!

So glad Josiah landed a record deal- he is SO TALENTED. Warner Brothers is going to make ALOT of money. American Idol producers should be kicking themselves for letting him go. He could have made them lots of money.

Josiah Leming is a true artist. Check out his MySpace page to listen to his music. Forget the living in the car, American Idol thing. That is the past. Josiah is the future!

It’s rare to find someone so young with such musical talent.
Josiah writes songs with such maturity and poetic artistry.This kid’s music deserves to be heard because his songs pull at your heartstrings and leave you coming back for more.Josiah is not good…he’s GREEAT!

I LOVE Josiah Leming and have since I first saw him on AI audition show. HE IS AMAZING! He can sing, write music, and play the piano and guitar really well. He is VERY intense and his words flow like poetry. I CANNOT believe he is only 18 (soon to be 19 on Wednesday). ;)
He has a big fan base (myself included) on his MYSPACE. Check it out.

Kid Rock has nards of steel! Imagine the courage it must take to have your posse beat people up. Waffle eaters…autograph hounds…no one is safe when the Kid’s posse is in town. Tommy Lee is soooo lucky that the Kid’s posse didn’ accompany him to the bathroom that night…

Colleen | 3/27/2008, 1:01 am EST

I’m so excited to hear about Josiah’s record deal!! Of course I’ve already bought(and am enjoying) the music on his page, but now looking forward to hearing him “properly” recorded.

Incredible news! Also, his fan base continues to grow…now over 40,000 on myspace!! Check him out!

you all put kid rock down I wonder what that person did to kid rock prior to getting his butt kicked the media never reports both sides of any story. Perhaps this man was invading kids personal space. Before placing negative comments the whole story should be told. People should treat celebrities like they would treat any common person.
