Josh Krajcik playing the Cowtown Round Rumba Cafe, Columbus, Ohio -- Monday October 25, 2010 Song: "I Knew You Once" Album: Ghosts by Josh Krajcik Band.
The lyrics, the voice, the tears slowly rolling down my cheeks... you're in my head now, and my heart. Your music embraces and soothes the soul. Rare. Thank you for sharing. *sigh*
One year ago you were playing the Cowtown Round. Today you are on an international stage playing in front of tens of millions of people with millions of new fans. Congratulations and best of luck for whatever the future holds.
Honestly, I never knew he was this talented. Him singing other people's stuff on xfactor is not getting at the real Josh. These home recorded videos on youtube truly display the brilliance and raw talent of this guy. He could be the dark horse to win it all. A true artist indeed.
He's an artist in every sense of the word. My God, you can feel the passion in his fingers and when he opens his mouth, you feel a burst of ooey goodness that you can't get enough of. He's magic... thank you for being true to you and for sharing yourself with us. Good luck, great things are headed your way.
Well as I tell my son listen to your mother. Your gift should be shared with the masses. What an amazing voice, I so loved it. Have not heard a voice with that power ins soooo long. God Bless you Josh, i will buy your music as it is food for the soul. Signed - Just a MOM in PA
We just knew he was special!...Thank you America for sharing his talent with us all - we can't vote outside of the U.S, but he is as much in our hearts now as in yours : )
Man! What a talent! I hope you take it away on X Factor! You deserve a record deal! Your awsome; right up there with Elvis Presley! Your voice is beauuuuuuuutiful!
I think I must have watched this 41,892 times lol - my FAVORITE SONG! Can't get enough, can't wait for albums, tons of them! I truly hope you are working your butt off Josh, and loving every damn minute of it!!
Josh sure is one talented guy - been checking out all his videos on youtube for an hour now and all are amazing ! Thank God for shows like XFactor that allow us to hear people who are SO MUCH BETTER than the drivel we are subjected to on the radio . All the luck in the world , Josh - you are a star !
Each time I watch this clip, I think, "how did this guy not receive a record deal BEFORE the X-Factor?" So in awe of his talent and the passion he brings to his songs...amazing.
Wow to think this was on here over a year and it took xfactor for me to find it. Just awesome, as I said when he sang forever young, his voice is like a magnificently played instrument, maybe a soulful sax. Just an awesome talent. If you know him please give him this complement. and tell him shine on, I am rooting for him to be signed by someone who will help him reach his dreams.
If I weren't 42 and happily married - you'd have trouble on your hands! LOL I love you Josh - your music - your voice - you make me feel so good when you sing - and no one has done that for me in a very very long time! I wish you only the best - I hope you win X-Factor, but if you don't - keep plugging...you have something very special - from one musician to another - don't give up. You are beautiful, sweet Josh. :)
Gigantic talent. I remember the first time I heard the piano playing and song writing, like "What A Fool Believes" by Michael MacDonald . Josh is on this level and the world will know more and more.
I knew Josh for over 15 years before X and considered him a close friend. He was there when my son was born and even carried him out of the hospital then helped put the car seat in 14 years ago...and I haven't heard from him since he texted me right before the second live show. I hope you were more fortunate than me, because I feel slighted and betrayed by my good friend.
I'm buying his album! Greatest new artist in YEARS! Wow, I just discovered him due to X Factor..I'm from Columbus, Ohio. Who knew he could play piano and guitar too!! :0) First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is incredible!!
Josh, PLEASE play this on X factor with the piano and all. And that will be it. If anybody has a doubt about you being the best of the show with this song it'll all be over. This is just beatiful. And yes again.. hug me immediately lol.
AMAZING !!!! Hope tons of Americans will vote for you - I'm in Denmark and can't !!! No matter what happens PLEASE make a CD .... you are so so talented and your voce is AMAZING !!! Go Josh
I can't really understand most of the lyrics, but the ones I do are sung tearfully good. A good song doesn't have to have great lyrics, it's the way it's sang that brings individual words to life. I've listened to this song 5 times and don't know what it's about, but I feel it, and it feels good. Extremely sad, but good.
this was before x factor and is amazing. And yes, ive heard the album after x factor. Im waiting on a live JK live album of new material from a huge fan. Go kill it Josh. No one can do what you do
man i dont think you should have to go through x factor auditions cos ur a class act, but im glad you did, or otherwise i, like other people would have got to hear that gift you have!!! all the best my friend, from ireland.........
His first band was Love Lies Bleeding...but I seem to be the only one who has any of their music (a live show at a bar called The Gemini)...and the band he released 2 albums with was called The Josh Krajcik Band. The second album is called Atavistic and I think the first one was called Ghosts. I have them both but the name isn't on the CD with the first one. I've heard you can find them on Groove Shark.
The Voice of the Decade possibly this century. Josh ought to have won X Factor but in hindsight its good he did not , so he can make the music he wants and we want not what Simon Cowell wants . Josh you are Brilliant...a true star and one day people will talk about you and the greats like Elvis, Lennon in the same breathe
@MrJalapenis Yes, I saw him multiple times in bars/restaurants and thought it would be just a matter of time for him, but it never really happened. Ohio, where dreams/careers go to die.
I wonder which of his original songs or arrangements they'll let him do on X Factor - Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, and a lot of good roadhouse blues in his music.
I am sure that there are 10,000 record producers out there chomping at the bit for him right now. Josh could walk off the xfactor and be signed immediately for even more that 5 mil! But as you can see that he is a good person so he might not do that. YAY Josh!
If x factor producers have any balls, they'll let Josh do this after final voting , if he makes the final show. He can't afford to sing such a piece that the public doesn't know, but talk about the real "X" factor!!!! Who knew he had a little Keith Jarrett or George Winston mixed in with the Joe Cocker genes - love the intro.
@ChadRylan I FOUND HIS CDS ON GROOVESHARK RADIO on the internet the song is about knowing or loving someone once.Then awkward phase of breakups. hope that helps excellent song
@trickyrick74 Like any GREAT song, it doesn't take the intire lyrics to strike the soul, and THEN I never knew what the song was about, and quite frankly I didn't care, I just knew the words were sang in a way that was soulfull, thats what its about. Now I know the song, it's one of my favorites. I'm not saying this in any disrespect. I didn't have to connect the dots before I knew what I was listening to, thats all.
I'm ashamed for all the patrons with thier smattering of applause for this talent. Maybe its the bars or whatever, but it's crazy when a star is plain sight.. and no one sees it.
@mizzkittty1 He's got an amazing girlfriend and after all these years of her unlimited devotion, I assure you she isn't going anywhere. But you can buy at least one of his albums on Amazon in MP3 format and improvise lol
@missstacey22 I agree, I hope he never plays there again, and the lame claps at the end. these people obviously don't know great talent when it is right in front of them. it's like listening to people talk through an etta james or ottis redding performance. It should be illegal.
2023. And we still believe he should be a way greater star. His talent hits the soul.

You are amazing!! When you sang At Last, it gave me chills!! So much talent you have! Good to hear real music for a change...good luck and God Bless!
I think I must have watched this 41,892 times lol - my FAVORITE SONG! Can't get enough, can't wait for albums, tons of them! I truly hope you are working your butt off Josh, and loving every damn minute of it!!

8 months later and I'm still completely in love with this!!!
Gigantic talent. I remember the first time I heard the piano playing and song writing, like "What A Fool Believes" by Michael MacDonald . Josh is on this level and the world will know more and more.
Love this voice. Hope he makes it! Awesome!
I didn't think I could like you more, but after seeing this I do. I don't understand why a talent like you has gone undiscovered so long.
Love his piano playing. WOW What Talent!
I knew you once too Josh, I hope now that everyone wants a piece of you, I'll still be fortunate enough to know you after your big break.

I knew Josh for over 15 years before X and considered him a close friend. He was there when my son was born and even carried him out of the hospital then helped put the car seat in 14 years ago...and I haven't heard from him since he texted me right before the second live show.

this was before x factor and is amazing. And yes, ive heard the album after x factor. Im waiting on a live JK live album of new material from a huge fan. Go kill it Josh. No one can do what you do
Josh and Chris Rene are the standouts on X-Factor. All the contestants can sing, but these two I would pay to see/hear. Love them.
man i dont think you should have to go through x factor auditions cos ur a class act, but im glad you did, or otherwise i, like other people would have got to hear that gift you have!!! all the best my friend, from ireland.........
@jasbud when i first hurd him i had chills all over my body and i still get them he is amazing i want him to win so bad
Wow,!!!!
His first band was Love Lies Bleeding...but I seem to be the only one who has any of their music (a live show at a bar called The Gemini)...and the band he released 2 albums with was called The Josh Krajcik Band. The second album is called Atavistic and I think the first one was called Ghosts. I have them both but the name isn't on the CD with the first one. I've heard you can find them on Groove Shark.

Josh you are Brilliant...a true star and one day people will talk about you and the greats like Elvis, Lennon in the same breathe
@fearfullymade57 The minute he open his mouth, he already nailed the song, He is ridiculous so good, that i cant stop thinking about his music.
I wonder if the audience in this bar realised how lucky they were, excellent.
:) LOVE :)
I wanna hear him sing some Ray Charles..like some Drown in my Tears or Georgia. I know he would kill these songs.
Who has two thumbs and is restarting piano lessons tomorrow? Me.
@MrJalapenis Yes, I saw him multiple times in bars/restaurants and thought it would be just a matter of time for him, but it never really happened. Ohio, where dreams/careers go to die.
@adrieenelj12 : same here, I wish he could win at end of the show.
I wonder which of his original songs or arrangements they'll let him do on X Factor - Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, and a lot of good roadhouse blues in his music.
@soberindothan He already has two cds released...check out amazon...Ghosts was first and Atavistic was his bands sophmore release..
I am sure that there are 10,000 record producers out there chomping at the bit for him right now. Josh could walk off the xfactor and be signed immediately for even more that 5 mil!
But as you can see that he is a good person so he might not do that.
YAY Josh!
dude is insane...in a good way.
Wonderful musician! the piano was so intense and then the whole song is BEAUTIFUL! Is this Josh song?
@livnafullife00 He should add the ringtone from the crowd into is song too
he needs to bring out the piano on x factor. i bet he is saving some awesome tracks for the xfactor we are going to be blown away///////////////
@ChadRylan I'm a sucker for piano..
If x factor producers have any balls, they'll let Josh do this after final voting , if he makes the final show. He can't afford to sing such a piece that the public doesn't know, but talk about the real "X" factor!!!! Who knew he had a little Keith Jarrett or George Winston mixed in with the Joe Cocker genes - love the intro.
Como eu queria a letra dessa música... não consigo entender algumas partes, não existe em nenhum lugar as letras das músicas antigas dele...
I think I can hear people crying.
@ChadRylan I FOUND HIS CDS ON GROOVESHARK RADIO on the internet the song is about knowing or loving someone once.Then awkward phase of breakups. hope that helps
excellent song
@trickyrick74 Like any GREAT song, it doesn't take the intire lyrics to strike the soul, and THEN I never knew what the song was about, and quite frankly I didn't care, I just knew the words were sang in a way that was soulfull, thats what its about. Now I know the song, it's one of my favorites. I'm not saying this in any disrespect. I didn't have to connect the dots before I knew what I was listening to, thats all.
@modcraft13 Hahaha...well done sir!
I'm ashamed for all the patrons with thier smattering of applause for this talent. Maybe its the bars or whatever, but it's crazy when a star is plain sight.. and no one sees it.
@Intensitalian What is the name of the band to search on Amazon? I couldn't find it when I searched his name. Maybe Sony made him remove it by now.
Words please??
lyrics??? :)
@mizzkittty1 He's got an amazing girlfriend and after all these years of her unlimited devotion, I assure you she isn't going anywhere. But you can buy at least one of his albums on Amazon in MP3 format and improvise lol
@ChadRylan How do you not understand the lyrics??? I don't get it. Stop. Listen. Appreciate.
@trtaylor75 hush up then
Karma is patient Josh...
@missstacey22 I agree, I hope he never plays there again, and the lame claps at the end. these people obviously don't know great talent when it is right in front of them. it's like listening to people talk through an etta james or ottis redding performance. It should be illegal.
I can't stand when people talk while someone is performing.
excuse him for being busy and not helping you out or anything..you sound selfish!
