Joshua Ledet sings "I Am Ready for Love" on "American Idol," as the contestants choose their second songs.

He starts slow and theatrical; but you know it's going to build to something big. Interesting; he's being restrained again, it gets bigger but never explodes. A nice, pure vocal.

Judges give him a standing ovation. "I don't even know what to say anymore, I am speechless," says Randy Jackson.

"Mmmm... mmm!" says Jennifer Lopez with a big smile. "That was transcendent." She says once you start singing, "you bring us so present," everyone stops thinking and just listens.
