American Idol Reject Faces Legal Action

Legal woes hit American Idol, particularly American Idol reject Josiah Leming.

Leming, the homeless singer-former Idol contestant who got axed shortly before the top 24 round, is facing legal action, also from Idol, in the form of threats to block the release of his upcoming album due in January. The legal action against Leming cites violation to terms of agreement.

Like the other contestants, Leming signed a strict contract that only allowed him to sign with the Sony/BMG, the show's hand-picked label. Rather, he signed with Warner Bros. earlier this year. He cites his dream for his terminally-ill mother to hear his music while she is still alive, which is understandable.

While there are terms to agree to on a contract, I sincerely hope Leming gets to release his album while his mother is still alive to share the joy of it with him.
