According to an insider, Josh had some issues with his voice during rehearsals last week. Josh’s vocal health issues were blamed on smokes and alcohol. The contestant was also warned by his mentor, Nicole Scherzinger (Team Over 30’s), to stop both immediately before he gets kicked off the competition.

Of course, it’s easier said than done. Josh is trying hard to stop because he knows he needs to if he has his sights set on winning the $5 million dollar price.
