Celebrity Justice
Warner to Josiah -- Lived in a Ford Lately?

'Memba Josiah Leming, the "A.I." contestant who lived in his car? Our record industry sources tell us Warner Bros. Records has offered him a record deal. It hasn't been signed yet ... but it's "close."

But here's the kicker. A prominent record industry honcho told us, "With Warner as a label, he'll be back in his car before he knows it. Everyone knows they are not good for his kind of music."

16. Can we please stop using the term "'Memba"? It's just that it makes me want to kill things.

20. Josiah Leming is BRILLIANT! He's like a male Tori Amos, for anyone who remembers her. Give the little dude a chance.

21. I love this kid, his vocals are really good, but his attitude sucks. I think he needs to get out of the "pity-me" phase, and he will go places.

22. He's an arrogant crybaby. I hope he throws tantrums every time Warner does something he doesn't like.

24. The record honcho they talk about must be Clive Davis. I can't blame you Clive for being bitter. The idiots at American Idol let the best musician the show's ever had get away. Now you're stuck with the impossible task of making David Archuleta a mainstream commercial success. It sucks to be you!

25. American Idol portrayed Josiah in the worst possible light, obviousy for ratings, but really his music and songwriting has huge potential, otherwise he would never be signed. He is the antithesis of the typical American Idol 'manufactured' commercial artist, beside writing his own stuff, he projects emotion in his songs, hence his already huge fan following. He's a teenager so he has plenty of years to mature as an artist and person, but one shoudn't underestimate his emotional stability, he seems more driven than most teens and adults that I know.

27. He's still a phoney. Put him back in his car and let him sleep.

28. This guy had a lot of talent; he was just overwhelmed by the whole "Idol" thing I think.

29. Not only does Warner Bros suck (trust me) but NO RECORD LABEL WOULD RISK A CHANCE ON HIM (other than Warner, cause they suck)
