MTV: American Idol Report Card: Joshua Ledet Lays It Down

Source: MTV.com

Joshua Ledet: It's easy to score a lay-up when everyone else is clanking nothing but iron. It's hard to see how pastor's kid Ledet could have missed with Michael Bolton's "When a Man Loves a Woman." He had the killer white jacket with a red rose, the Sam Cooke-like vocal histrionics (nice "A Change is Gonna Come" callback), a too-cool-for-school swagger and those high notes. Oh man, those high notes. "The best thing I've ever seen on 'American Idol,' " Lopez said. Preach on, JL! We mean you, Josh — not Jennifer.
