he may not have won the show but his talent shined through to become a country recording artist anyway. he isn't a big star like chesney or mcgraw but hes had a hit and hes on the radio and his videos are on cmt.

I don't really connect well with the contestants who can sing only country style music. Its American Idol....not Nashville Idol. I just think he was on the wrong show. He can sing fine for a country star, but I won't vote for him or the like on a show like this.

Anybody who puts him above Clay is insane, have bad taste or are tone deaf.

Now a star on country radio, a great representative of our Armed Forces.

josh gracin didn't need to become the american idol. hes got it going on and hes country star that will be shining for quite a while. his 3rd single was just released and he was nominated for a cma shows that he made the right choice to stay with country
