Joshua Ledet sang Fantasia’s I Believe and Sam Cooke’s A Change Is Gonna Come at the American Idol 11 Top 7 Redux performance show.
I’m sure he committed a mistake at the end of the first song which was arranged to fit the limited time they have on the live show. It was still superb, though, and he really gets possessed with the music when he performs.
The judges were all praises with his rendition of I Believe, with Steven Tyler even saying he could sing the phonebook. Watch Joshua’s I Believe performance below.
Joshua’s A Change Is Gonna Come was described as “stellar” by Randy Jackson.

Joshua Ledet received a standing ovation from all three judges for his performance of the song If You Don’t Know Me By Now on American Idol 11 Songs from the ‘80s Week.
The song was originally done by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes in 1972 but was recorded live by Patti Labelle and was released as part of her album Patti in 1985. In 1989, Simply Red also covered the single. So that makes it a legit ‘80s song.
Joshua sang with a choir which made the performance more churchy.
All three judges were all praises, with Randy saying that the performance was so god he wanted to stand up from the beginning up to the end. Jennifer called it a powerhouse performance, while Steven said it was “just perfect.”

The judges all gave them standing ovations and were all praises for the two.
