When he broke it down the first time I felt like Issac Hayes in Soul Brother when he heard Samuel L. Jackson daughter sing for the first time and she showed up in his shades. He had and admiration for her I'm straight as an arrow though 😂😂😂
Joshua Ledet is something different. His talent is beyond any other artist out there. If he was born in the 70s or 80s Joshua would have been a meeeega star.
él debería haber ganado el american idol!!! además eligieron a el guitarrista ese xq es lindo pero joshua ledet es un genio!!!!!!!!!!! no hay otro como él
Still here! Nothing but natural raw talent. Let down by a society that has no clue what real music is. Lord if it don't reach down and grab your soul where you forget to breathe for a second then it's just the same ole generic noise. My idol days left when he did!
You know, what makes this such a wonderful video is that you totally captured a FANTASTIC performance!! I mean, this was one of those live, once in a lifetime, things that people are STILL watching and loving and raving over two years later. If you hadn't captured this one amazing live shows - we would NEVER have seen what this young man could do live - it's BETTER than the AI performance (if that's even possible!). I think that people will be watching and enjoying this great capture for a loooong time to come. Joshua Ledet does this thing LIVE that you simply have to GO to him to see - like in the 60s the Motown artists that just poured everything they had onto that stage every single night. You just don't see that anymore so THANK YOU for filming this AND sharing it!! Sorry this was so long. :-) I meant every word.
Wow!!! What a true talent!! This young man has it all!! Stage presence, passion for the music and a unique voice!!! In other words he does not sound like these modern day singers!!! He has his own style!!! Much love to you Joshua for keeping that ole school music going!!! I will definitely be looking for your music!!
This man don't make no sense. Why haven't no one signed him but he is probably under contract with American Idol.But he dominate the music industry maybe another michael jackson
+Javier Florian Joshua is brilliant! Absolutely, but he is not unique. The fact is there are many people here who can really sing.... just look through youtube - tons of talented singers out there. Its not rare. What does set Joshua apart is ease of his growl. He can really grind his voice and still sing. That facility is rare.
I think that's best than James Brown. Best Performance I've ever heard. Far much better than Seal and J Brown. No offence but this guy's talent is unbelievable ! APPLAUSE!!
He Is American Idol. If you don't get chills up yo spine you ain't Human.
I've never seen someone sing like this! This is crazy.
When he broke it down the first time I felt like Issac Hayes in Soul Brother when he heard Samuel L. Jackson daughter sing for the first time and she showed up in his shades. He had and admiration for her I'm straight as an arrow though 😂😂😂
Mr. Ledet hit all his notes because I sing also God gave him his voice. His family should be very proud of him.
Take a trip down to any old southern church...raw talent, uniqueness and talent runs deep. The birthplace of soul music..
This boy is it! Come on people no one like him
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! The stage presence is AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, OUT- OF- THIS- WOORRLLLDDD!!
wow. nobody does this better. Only Joshua Ledet! Beyong Amazing
I have never heard ANYONE slay this song like this. Wow.....
Siohvan Smith OKAY?
Check out Blair Perkins version
Siohvan I felt my roof shaking his voice just that strong
U right bout that!##
When this guy sings it sounds like he creating new notes its like singing notes I never heard before
This guy is amazing!!!!
Joshua Ledet fever...soul can never die when you have vocal like this around
bringing real music back from the heart
Joshua Ledet is something different. His talent is beyond any other artist out there. If he was born in the 70s or 80s Joshua would have been a meeeega star.
OMG! SO AMAZING! Christina Aguilera and Josh Ledet has the BEST RENDITION OF THIS SONG! I hope a featuring some day.
No one like him! OMG! I love him.

Greatest singer to come out of American Idol. When are they going to get an album out of his work? It's taken too long.
Que belleza de voz y de hombre,bravo.

Sam Bailey is awesome between her and Josh they make my day

The straight truth. move over, Luther.
IKR!!!
Good Lord I think The lord himself sounds close to this image of his voice
Does anyone know what note he hits at 2:47 ?
OMG!!!!!!!!!!
This boy is our modern day Otis Redding
GYATTTT
American Idol Blew it... Josh should have won... Listen to the tone, the quality the soul. James Brown would have been proud
Right on. He reminds me of James Brown
I swear, their biggest regret
The best performer around today. This man sells every single damn note. Love it!
Definitely a master of the Otis Redding school: sounding simultaneously unhinged and in complete control.
Mr. James Brown is giving this guy a standing ovation from Heaven, .... he's just standing in awe!
he dont make no damn sense!! this right here is pure talent!!!
Angel Mcshan yes yes yes
Angel Mcshan OKAY?
Angel Mcshan OKAY?
Angel Mcshan OKAY????
One of the best voice on the earth...i'm so so touched !
I cannot agree more...he is my living Spirit in these awful times all over the world..except this litte selfish Denmark.
Åse Rahbek You are a sensitive man !
Ioan Cutitaru Dear friend...I am 64 and a woman ha ha ha...but I hear passion....I love he sings with his whole mind and body..He is so uniqe.
Åse Rahbek I'm sorry lady,i agree ,he is all passion !
That is fine...I am no offended..yes Jushua is a powerhouse...has a wild ranged voice...and HE CAN REALLY SING AND PLAY WITH THE NOTES :)
Holy shit. If I paid to see his concert and he sang just that song, then walked off the stage, I would be satisfied.
Still here! Nothing but natural raw talent. Let down by a society that has no clue what real music is. Lord if it don't reach down and grab your soul where you forget to breathe for a second then it's just the same ole generic noise.
My idol days left when he did!
This boy voice is out of this world.. Keep on singing Mr. Ledet.
This young man performance was breath taking..
Josh is a beast, he slays any stage!!
Vee Franklin yes yes yes LMBO
That boy is so loved. Hope he continues to horn his voice. One day he would triumph. God bless him.
A SAVAGE.
The only word that comes to mind is, "Damn!"
What an excellent voice God given talent.
This just doesn't even seem humanly possible or real.
MadjikMan56 OKAY?
He's a black Rahm emanuel
This guy is unreal, I've got goose bumps all over me#musicislife
Joe Amrovhe @this time he still the best

I disagree, Josh is very unique. There's no one else on this planet that can sing like him period!!
+Veeluv Franklin I agree with you
Love how even more comfortable he is with this performing this...
So Amazing.....I had to hear this again
Revelation1:15 OKAY?
I think that's best than James Brown. Best Performance I've ever heard. Far much better than Seal and J Brown. No offence but this guy's talent is unbelievable ! APPLAUSE!!
I'm dead
On par with James Brown, it’s a draw. I definitely prefer his version over Seal’s
