Joshua is a humble young man. Before he began singing he told the audience that he was losing his voice and may not be able to perform all the high notes and that he would be disappointed in hisself, but please don"t be disappointed in him. Thats why at 2:54 he raises his eyes with hope he can please the audience
First time I've ever heard this song sung with soul. I always wanted to like Whitney, with her great voice. I just never heard the soul as clearly and as beautifully as this.
OMG! this is soooo amazing, Josh really knows how to interpret a song, what an amazing artist, he never cease to amaze me, i wish i had've been there, i probably would've lost my mind hearing him sing this song, he should've sang this on American Idol with Jessica, that would've been epic!!!
This guy has got a monster of a voice, its so wide and great that I dont know what could contain it. They will need to make some real special music to stand up to it. I think and hope that Josh will grow internationally as an artist, because more people need to be offered the gift of his voice, its just magical. And such a nice guy as well!!
I just stumbled on these videos of josh.im so blown away by his gift.he is outstanding. I'm 63 years old and I can't think of anybody to compare him with.he tops everybody.the other people's songs he sings end up belonging to him. What a gift....
Reba Gaudet he's like a a throw back to the old greats. Pours all his emotion into every word. The influence of the powerful black church is clearly there too, not only vocally but in his mannerisms as well.
Joshua is beynd amazing everytime he is on stage! He is the best thing to come out of 2012 this year!!! his only 20 and his up there with the greats who spent their lives gettin to that position! i am defintelty a joshua fan forver! xx
Thank you. The family set up this concert in a hurry before he went back to LA. He was definitely hot & tired...but still gave us a better concert than the one Idol put on in our hometown.
You are the man, Joshua, and in this world today - this is refreshing - and so heart warming - there is hope for the future no matter what it looks like - know that you are right on time, in this season, and you deliver the love, hope, and share the journey with us all - !!!!! Thanks for sharing and caring!
MEDIC....if you are close to joshua tell him he has a new grandmother here on the west coast of florida. voted for him all the way through as much as i could get in each night. God has blessed him with those vocals and i pray i'm around for years to come to see him taking off in his career.
i agree. i've been around for a long time and have never been so affected by an artist. His yet unreleased "Broken Man" is incredible. And he is performing at the Ryder Cup Golf tournament 9/27/12.
He actually surprised us all this past Saturday by singing for our cancer walk to raise money for the children. His dad said the opening prayer. The next day--on his way to Manila. Jett--I hope one day he has enough time to read all the wonderful comments here. He's just so overwhelmed for such a young man. I can't imagine!
Sang boy! OMG, he's good looking like Johnny Mathis, and the sound of Sam Cookeand a little bit of Terrence Trent D'Arby. I've been looking for him for years. I so can't wait for his CD to come out.
at each performance i voted online as many times as i coould for i wanted to make sure my vote was counted. atleast i hope they did. got same thing as you when i tried calling in. may joshua rise to the soul charts when he comes out with his first cd. the night he did percy sledge's when a man loves i woman i was screaming and crying for him. u-n-b-l-i-e-v-a-b-l-e!!!
What a great voice he has I loved when he sang at the white house for the Obama's you can tell everybody enjoy him singing when a man loves a woman it was like wow!
If they didn't use all of their energy on the AI videos, WHO CARES!!!? I'm using my energy, time and money on uplifting Joshua! I can't wait to hear him sing in St. Louis.Any ideas on how to bring this song to Joshua? This song alone would sell millions for Joshua. It's time for some real R & B and Joshua is just the one to bring it back to the forefront. Amazing Voice! By the way, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for sharing this video. I truly appreciate it.
You are welcome! And if you know him or anything like that....tell him he has a #1 supporter right here! Cant wait to hear more of his "own," original music! Link up the Dream....would love to see and hear what he would produce/write for/with him.
Joshua is such a pure talent. I was really sad that he didnt win Idol because i really think that his best chance at a great recording career would have been had he won.having that IDOL title would have made him more marketable because they will have problems marketing him. i promise! he would be more easily accepted in the pop or even gospel world but this guy oozes soul and i just dont think he will be recieved well in soul rnb market. its a shame but its the truth. great great performance.
True. But I think Dolly would be proud. Song writers don't consider it stealing; they are just so happy someone performs their songs they wrote. We do need someone to bring back these great older songs to the younger generation. Thank you to Dolly for writing that song!
Yes yes yes! That would be a great song to do. Mary I've only had a couple of semi-negative comments so on ALL my videos. I'm so glad. I'm hoping the haters used up their energy on the AI videos. Thank you!

Passionate soul singer with humility! He's got it all.Sign him up.✌💋✌
I wish him and Fantasia would team up
The best rendition ever.
Joshua is singing the "Heck" out of this song!! Love you "Sweetie"!!
So, so, so, so rigged. His voice is the only voice I've ever heard that gives me chills no matter what he's singing. His voice is crazy.
Joshua is a humble young man. Before he began singing he told the audience that he was losing his voice and may not be able to perform all the high notes and that he would be disappointed in hisself, but please don"t be disappointed in him. Thats why at 2:54 he raises his eyes with hope he can please the audience
He truly is the male version of Fantasia.
Truly a blessed and anointed voice he has! Wow!
He's my all time favorite American Idol contestant! Simply amazing every single time he performs!!
He’s my second favorite of season 11. Jessica Sanchez is my all-time favorite American Idol contestant. I wouldn’t mind her coming in second to him.
First time I've ever heard this song sung with soul. I always wanted to like Whitney, with her great voice. I just never heard the soul as clearly and as beautifully as this.
OMG! this is soooo amazing, Josh really knows how to interpret a song, what an amazing artist, he never cease to amaze me, i wish i had've been there, i probably would've lost my mind hearing him sing this song, he should've sang this on American Idol with Jessica, that would've been epic!!!
He is so beyond amazing...I just love him.
This guy has got a monster of a voice, its so wide and great that I dont know what could contain it. They will need to make some real special music to stand up to it. I think and hope that Josh will grow internationally as an artist, because more people need to be offered the gift of his voice, its just magical. And such a nice guy as well!!
Never heard a man sing this and he did GREAT! I love Josh!
I just stumbled on these videos of josh.im so blown away by his gift.he is outstanding. I'm 63 years old and I can't think of anybody to compare him with.he tops everybody.the other people's songs he sings end up belonging to him. What a gift....

What a voice...you are blessed beyond...special beyond any competition. You are a healer!!! you are called for this. Love you
Joshua is beynd amazing everytime he is on stage! He is the best thing to come out of 2012 this year!!! his only 20 and his up there with the greats who spent their lives gettin to that position! i am defintelty a joshua fan forver! xx

Thank you. The family set up this concert in a hurry before he went back to LA. He was definitely hot & tired...but still gave us a better concert than the one Idol put on in our hometown.
A god of song and melody
honey i feel the same....was voting for him as many times as i could each performance. can't wait to see him make it and he will make it BIG for sure.
Joshua simply Amazing ❤️

I'll ALWAYS BE A JOSHUA's NUMBER 1 fan ❤❤❤❤❤❤r
2022 still watching this, my GOODness.. His Voice is Superb,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It was!! I always considered this to be a "girl's song". But Joshua slayed it! Too bad my battery ran out!
WONDERFUL!!!!! It was absolutely amazing!!!!!! I was there and am so glad I was!!!!
I agree--he is getting standing ovations all across the country right now on the Idol tour! So proud of him!!
His family are SO happy about the way things turned out & thank IDOL everyday for putting him where he is. So we are too. He'll be just fine!
THANK GOD I found these videos Medic, thank you so much.
i agree!!!!!! Josh was and is STILL better than them ALL!!!! He should have won hands down.
You're so right. They are both great & will go far!
MEDIC....if you are close to joshua tell him he has a new grandmother here on the west coast of florida. voted for him all the way through as much as i could get in each night. God has blessed him with those vocals and i pray i'm around for years to come to see him taking off in his career.
I didn't know that Josh had the "Lock, and Key" to "Grace Whitney"!!
I don't stop to ear him
omg... his voice is so amazing
How this guy didn't win is a travesty. I stopped watching Idol after this. He should be a MEGA STAR right now!!!
I do agree. However, he is traveling all over the world singing. He's doing great!
If he had sung this at Top 3 night, he would have made to the Finale!!!
Thank you Caren! He gave us a wonderful concert! Wonderful family!
Thanks for pointing me in this direction, Caren. I'm with you.
i agree. i've been around for a long time and have never been so affected by an artist. His yet unreleased "Broken Man" is incredible. And he is performing at the Ryder Cup Golf tournament 9/27/12.
I LUV LUV LUV JOSHUA I'M UR # 1 FAN FROM BMORE GOD BLESS U BABE
Wow. What a great way to put it. Thank you.
Awww. And thanks again. I have a feeling he'll be going everywhere after the IDOl tour!!
He actually surprised us all this past Saturday by singing for our cancer walk to raise money for the children. His dad said the opening prayer.
The next day--on his way to Manila. Jett--I hope one day he has enough time to read all the wonderful comments here. He's just so overwhelmed for such a young man. I can't imagine!
I predict this video will go viral! Thank you for posting it!
Phillip Phillips is a dime a dozen. Joshua Ledet and Jessica Sanchez are rare commodities.
I love him he has so much talent, soul, and swagg!
Thank you Rose. He does light up the stage!!
agree totally. marcus. he will become the new man of soul...just watch. when he gets done with the idol tour nobody will be holding him back. :)
Thank you. That is a wonderful way to put it!!
Great voice he will make it ,just keep singing.
Sang boy! OMG, he's good looking like Johnny Mathis, and the sound of Sam Cookeand a little bit of Terrence Trent D'Arby. I've been looking for him for years. I so can't wait for his CD to come out.
Because someone was trying her best to bring Joshua to us, and she used up all her resources. Thank You MEDIC7876, you are a GEM!
Love, love, love! His range is INSANE! Sings this in the same key as Whitney.
Something about him makes me think of a gospel singer...either way he is amazing
Real Soul !
at each performance i voted online as many times as i coould for i wanted to make sure my vote was counted. atleast i hope they did. got same thing as you when i tried calling in. may joshua rise to the soul charts when he comes out with his first cd. the night he did percy sledge's when a man loves i woman i was screaming and crying for him. u-n-b-l-i-e-v-a-b-l-e!!!
he just makes things feel so spirtitual. beautiful. him and jessica shouldve did a duet with this song
I just saw him at the American Idol concert in our town, He blew the others away!!
Thank you for your kind words. We think he is doing better not being the winner. Big career ahead of him now when he cuts loose from IDOL.
What a great voice he has I loved when he sang at the white house for the Obama's you can tell everybody enjoy him singing when a man loves a woman it was like wow!
if i had a voice like josh i wud enter america idol again next year, or any singing competition coz hes got the best voice of the twenty first century
Thank you Tedius. I think they are both great!
Thank you. I think he sings the girl-songs even better!!!
I love that playfulness too! So cute.
You're welcome. I'd love to give this kid a hug.
OO so Excited! thanks for post in this!!!
He told us that! I have a feeling we'll be seeing him alot!

THIS IS AMAZING!
ok cool thank u for posting them. its a shame that i will never see him perform live
God, I love this guy!
Joshua is such a pure talent. I was really sad that he didnt win Idol because i really think that his best chance at a great recording career would have been had he won.having that IDOL title would have made him more marketable because they will have problems marketing him. i promise! he would be more easily accepted in the pop or even gospel world but this guy oozes soul and i just dont think he will be recieved well in soul rnb market. its a shame but its the truth. great great performance.
I can't imagine that he didn't win American Idol. Who beat him out?
True. But I think Dolly would be proud. Song writers don't consider it stealing; they are just so happy someone performs their songs they wrote. We do need someone to bring back these great older songs to the younger generation. Thank you to Dolly for writing that song!
Speechless!
Love him he is amazing xx
All of them are on tour right now. We'll get to see them all July 30th. Can't wait!
I love Jessica's rendition of this and also Joshua's, I can't wait to hear them sing at the American idol tour!-3
This made my day(:
Yes yes yes! That would be a great song to do. Mary I've only had a couple of semi-negative comments so on ALL my videos. I'm so glad. I'm hoping the haters used up their energy on the AI videos. Thank you!
Joshua, you are amazing! Thanks Medic7876!
I LOVE U JOSHUA!
I LOVE YOU JOSHUA .... ♥
