~~~I wonder if he has any contact with his parents. I hope if not that someone clues them in on what is going on and they make some move to reconnect with him. I know thousands of kids his age live on the street, but there is just something so vunerable about him. It breaks my heart to think about what can happen to him out there. He is 18, but he looks about 15. ~~~ _________________________ if you're interested, his mother has a website. http://www.mylifewithcancer.com/heresmyblog.html there is a link with photos and Josiah is in them. He was never estranged from his family, he was just making his way in the world.

Cricket - YES, Kyle. I really liked him. Sigh..I did too, Terolyn and Skydiver. I guess I don't like Randy and Paula's taste. Let's just see how well Colton David does, since he was picked over Kyle by them. I won't be voting for him. Simon was so right. There was definitely an audience for Kyle. Even Blake could have appeared spoiled, I thought voice was very pure and could possibly handle all the different songs better than some of the other women they picked. I have a few favorites so far, but I'm not that into AI this year for some reason. They rush through the singing so much, you really don't know who is good and who isn't. They get rid of people we haven't really heard.

I saw a little blurb on the tv guide channel earlier while they were doing the week in AI with Kimberly and Justin about Josiah? the one who was living in his car. It was pretty brief but said that he was back home with his family or reconnected with his family and wasn't living in his car anymore (sorry, I forget exactly how it was phrased.)

~~~Let's just see how well Colton David does, since he was picked over Kyle by them.~~~~ he wasn't picked over Kyle, that just happened to be the two left at the end. Pretty sure the judges made a point of saying that. The broohaha about Josiah was totally over the top. He was never homeless, he was never estranged from his family, he chose of his own accord to not stay with friends but to sleep in his car instead. Kind of like Jewel did when she left home to try and get into the business.

Does anyone remember David A as a child on a TV contest show? I knew he looked familiar and his name sounded familiar but I can't place the show he was on. I think it was all kids.

David A won Star Search, hosted by Arsenio Hall, when he was 10yo or so. He also appeared and sang on The Jenny Jones Show. There's footage online (rickey.org, I think) where he is singing in a hallway to such people as Justin Guarini and Kelly. He's no stranger to the stage or performing.

Allie, about the kid who is living in his car. He is on good terms with his parents; he decided to venture on his own to make his way in life. Like you it broke my heart to watch him go back to living life in his car, hopefully it is only temporary. He does have talent I too wish him well; thanks for caring.

There was a writeup on Jason C (the guy with the dreads) in today's Dallas Morning News. He is supposed to be very well known in the local music scene and is by all accounts very talented. He has only been singing a few years (before he was a drummer). The reason he wasn't shown in the earlier clips is because they didn't get permission for his audition song to be shown on AI. Simon apparently told him that his was one of the top 5 auditions. I'm looking forward to hearing him.

OH jeez, I almost forgot tonight is the first voting night. Had to dig through the junk pile to find the landline phone cord long enough to reach the pc.

Not blown away by the 1st guy, David H. The judges liked him though. He wasn't bad - just no for me Chikesee?? - the 2nd guy was out of tune & he was wearing an orange suit (what's with that). Randy & Paula were nice but really not blown away & Simon hated him - I agree with Simon totally on this guy.

I'm tired of seeing Simon in gray shirts. He needs a better stylist.

3rd guy was so far the best - but still I'm so not blown away. 4th guy sang "Moon River" - Simon says like a cruise ship & he's not really impressed - I agree.
