'American Idol' Castoff Josiah Leming Speaks: 'I Don't Have Any Regrets'
Singer talks about his car, his goals and the song that would have gone much better than 'Stand by Me.'
MORRISTOWN, Tennessee — Josiah Leming wants you to know a few things. He's not just the kid who sleeps in his car and cries at the drop of a hat. He doesn't consider himself to be particularly emo, nor does he think he sings with a British accent, as he has been accused of doing. He has no regrets about any of the choices he made on "American Idol," not even his rather, uh, unique take on Ben E. King's "Stand by Me" that got him booted from the show.
And he's incredibly aware that the fame all of the above has brought him might not last too much longer.
"There's a small window of opportunity, and I don't want to do it too quick or too slow," he said. "I've always been aware of the fact that one day you can be everything, and the next day you can be nothing. Stuff like that has always weighed heavy on my mind. Things are given and taken away so quickly, it's always sitting in the back of my mind that I could just be another flash in the pan. Everyone wants to be optimistic, but you also want to be realistic."
