[@kennethwalker9347]

2024 and he is still the best to ever be on American idol

[@angieoconnor7400]

That's why he was invited to perform at the White House. Fantastic.

[@mannysmom]

Some are trained, others are taught; Joshua Ledet, God given talent for sure!!!

ANNOINTED

[@terryallen9546]

All of the above. God checks all the boxes.

[@richardmarkjones8931]

Also trained but I get ur point ;)

[@0594Twins]

One of the BEST singers ever on Idol he should’ve won that year

[@user-ox9rz6qn7b]

Still sitting here in 2023 and I think he was the winner all the way!

[@freda4882]

Wow his voice has a mad range! I can hear him singing anything, gospel, r&b, blues and even rock.

[@keishaj336]

Anybody else watching this in 2019 and feel like he should've won 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@kimrose6665]

Keisha J He should’ve won...

[@keishaj336]

@@kimrose6665 I know 😣

[@colinboland5738]

Pretty sure this was the last episode of American Idol I ever watched, cause he got voted off and Phillip Phillips won and I literally hated everything. Just imagine if this guy was releasing albums today.

[@iamasurvivor4181]

Definitely yes!,,, I still listen to him and wonder what he's doin. Pure raw talent

[@Siggy4844]

Yes, I periodically come back to watching his performances. He is such a talented singer and definitely was my favorite. I think he was robbed, I still can't believe that boring Phillip Phillips won, ugh!

[@bradleylymer1666]

I simply don't understand how this guy didn't win. So so good

[@deannien.montgomery3824]

Yes, you and me too. It just go to show how warped America’s thinking process is.

[@deannien.montgomery3824]

Joshua stole my heart then and still does every time I hear him sing. He was born to bring sweet passionate music to our ears. Talking about being born to sing, he’s a rare jewel. He is the best of the best performers in the singing industry today. We all know and I know he knows he was the best to ever hit the American Idol stage. Kudos to you Joshua. Still love you baby.

[@Eggy79]

Yeah there's no place in the multiverse where Phillip Phillips is a better singer or performer than Joshua Ledet

[@joshuapeterson9020]

Even now, several years later, I watch Joshua Ledet's performances on American Idol and still now, to this day, I don't understand how he didn't win. Either him or Jessica Sanchez ... they were both sooooooo much better than everyone else.

[@adreanatolliver6082]

I was thinking the same thing! I still just don't get it! He should have won!

[@carmenbertios6586]

Me too😊

[@miriamwooten7763]

I so agree

[@semaje9265]

After he got voted off, I stop watching it myself. He left a lasting impression and I wanted to leave it at that.

[@skylin9090]

Joshua Ledet is the Best Male Vocalist of this time period without a doubt!

[@MzLilBratDee]

Who is still listening in 2019......Amazing Vocals

[@cdizzle35]

Still the WINNER in my opinion! He slayed every single performance and Phillip Phillips wins?? Really? This is why we DO NOT put America in charge of TALENT. Epic Fail 9 times out of 10! Great job Joshua!! All of us here know you should have WON IT ALL.

[@s.rosesmith6525]

Who remembers Phillip Phillips? ??I do not

[@richardleonard4281]

Fuck me dead! Joshua set the bar so high even Bubka couldn't vault over it. Man that kid was good. Jessica was outstanding and I loved Candace Glover but Joshua,Joshua,Joshua what a performance. Pure throwback style soul!

[@bettyb521]

I still don't understand why he didn't win on American idol.....the best ever...Joshua ledet

[@TheAs63401]

I understand

[@alyandrianiera9204]

He has way more talent than them that is why.... And they cannot handle it

[@pennymngadi7711]

I don't ever get tired of this boy. Even today I don't know how come he didn't win.

[@jasongwuri2490]

The year Joshua Ledet blew away American Idol with all his performances with standing ovations by judges. One of the best vocalist in Idol history. I still cannot believe he came 3rd. Dont know what America is voting. Year 2012 was Joshua's year! The best vocals hands down. Still watching 2020...

[@soul-hersistar1080]

This was a WHOLE concert right here!!!💯💯💯💯💯

[@AndyFaeBaker0890]

I would pay any day to see him in concert and its 2020!!!

[@itstrese2u855]

Yesssss this boy right here can sang not sing but sang 👏👏👏👏👏

[@BREHOFICIAL]

This was THE season

[@8thwonder0608]

No. Season 3 was the best season. Fantasia (who won), Jennifer Hudson, Paris, and a couple others.

[@BREHOFICIAL]

Sorry. I don't know... I didn't watch that one (I was probably 4 or haha...) Then this was the best of the ones I've watched

[@danieloloyede8327]

Trust real soul singer

[@chamellearthur8322]

I love how his eyes sparkled after every performance.....Magnificent talent loved him then love him now

[@bellestarr4040]

Win ,Lose,or Draw you are the American Idol 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@iCookVoter]

I wanted him to win and if that didn't happen I was hoping someone would sign him. He's truly a gifted singer and performer. Hopefully we see him again.

[@Danieloloyede]

best male vocalist ever born in the 90s yes

Seriously... why is he not famous yet?! He has got EVERYTHING!!!

[@123418205]

[@hassanjumaa7390]

He is coming from Christian family and nowadays fame is all about sold your soul to the devil

[@Solutions3000]

@@hassanjumaa7390 Three years later, is there some type of official contract, for such a transaction as selling one's "soul to the devil"? I frequently see posts that express similar ideas.

After watching his interview on song association and saying one of the producers didn’t like him which ended up with hI’m getting more “No’s” makes me realize this show was definitely rigged because he is a living icon🙌🏽

JOSHUA you, TOOK that song to the bank

[@godsbabi1]

🤔🤨😳 American Idol lost me after he lost. Ridiculous! Such a gifted treasure.

[@symmetricalastic]

How Phillip Phillips won instead of Joshua or Jessica I don't understand it. I honestly think the show is rigged because whenever I tried to call it just said deleted a bunch of times. There is no way Phillip has a better voice than Joshua and Jessica =/

[@pumpkin19521]

I def agree, Josh made history on that show, there has never been another like him since, he made it hard for me to have a fav every season cuz no one is blowing me away like he did!!

[@nalgasbiengrandes]

I wanted Jessica or Joshua to win!:(

[@smartiew88]

I've wondered this so many times too! It's just baffling to think he was picked over those two!

[@shirleythibodeax3863]

Joshua Ledet is the most best singer I've ever heard in my whole entire life and I don't know what to say I'm kind of speechless but that performance blew me away he sings like an angel and much more better then anyone could sing and that's just the truth

[@petrenavengreen]

Shirley honey your statement is full of redundancy. U can't use most and best simultaneously to describe something. They are both superlative forms of adjective which means that sentence is grammatically incorrect. U can't say whole and entire either cause whole means entire so that's another redundancy. On that note, the boy can sing. Have a good day honey. Peace and love from Jamaica.

[@rebtolentino4343]

I HATE IT HE DIDN'T WIN ! JOSHUA IS ALL NATURAL SOOOO SPOTLESS ! WHERE IS HE NOW ? HOPE HE CONTINUES SINGING .
