Move over, William Hung, there’s a new famous-for-no-reason American Idol reject heading for fame!
Josiah Leming - the contestant who was living in his car and didn’t make the Top 24 - appeared on Ellen today, assuring the audience he doesn’t cry five times every two hours. And, he mentioned that his mother has terminal cancer.
Always one to parlay a frown upside down, Ellen, who not only gave him a chance to sing his original One Last Song, gave him $8000 worth of recording equipment including a guitar, laptop, keyboard and gift certificate to Musicians Friend.
Let’s hope he can squeeze all that fancy merch into his beat-up old Ford Thunderbird!
