Idol Chatter & Voice Views

After watching Joshua Ledet head home, some former Idol contestants couldn’t help expressing their dismay and support on Twitter Thursday night.

Here’s what some of them had to say.

Blake Lewis, Season 6: So sad that Joshua won’t be going head to head #IdolFinale I was really hoping he and Jessica would be the final two.

Kevin Covais, Season 5: Heard who’s in Idol’s Top 2. If it were a vocal contest Joshua Ledet would have made it. But it’s a popularity contest so Phillip advances.

Didi Benami, Season 9: @JLedetAI11 It was such a pleasure watching you perform on @AmericanIdol. Captivating, Sir. Can’t wait to see what see what’s next! 🙂 Bless

Pia Toscano, Season 10: I really would’ve loved to see my Joshua in the finale.. But boy did he make a mark on this show & on so many lives. Love ya baby.Proud of u.

Ashthon Jones, Season 10: @JLedetAI11 was sent home???????!!!!!!!! What the____!!!!!!! It’s gotta be a trick!!! There’s no freakin way! This has to be a joke!!!!! @JLedetAI11 is waaaaayyyy too talented!!! But that’s ok! Congrats to Phillip and Jessica tho

And, from Joshua himself, about two hours after last night’s show … “A lot of people wanted to know how I’m feeling rite now! Well I want all of you to take a second an go listen to Beyonce ‘I was here’ (:”
