Was glad to learn Josiah Leming is finding there's life after American Idol. He has gone from one extreme to another in only a few days. A year ago he was living in his car. He dropped out of high school at 17 to drive Southeast and Midwest for gigs and to wait tables. His mother has terminal cancer. His father is out of work.
Now has drivers at his disposal to cart him around hollywood meeting with executives.
Access Hollywood and Mtv news sent crews to his parents home the day after he was elimated. Ellen DeGeneres was so touched by his story she booked him as a guest on her show.
He has sold close to $40,000 worth of his music off the internet since his idol experience. Record labels have approached him. Two TV networks have expressed interest in using him for projects.
Reality TV wrote of him. Every year there are at least one or two cuts made by the judges on the top-24 show with which American Idol fans strongly disagree. Leming knows his fame has a shelf life. He now has an opportunity to deal with.
