I've watched several weeks' worth of American Idol, and actually enjoyed some of the five original finalists' performances. While Phillip Phillips ultimately won (no comment from RadioDAZZ needed here), and Jessica Sanchez had a preternaturally beautiful voice (just captivating), Joshua Ledet brought us all back to soul, funk, and sweat-soaked gospel. I would love to see Joshua make an album with Jessica. Joshua Ledet is one of the greatest performers to get onto the stage in decades...he's a genuine, humble, soulful blend of Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Bill Withers and Tom Jones (yep -- Tom Jones).
More than this, I wanted to share a few YouTube clips of Joshua Ledet with my friends, fans and followers. If you like this fellow... how cries out a song, how he puts his heart and soul on the line, how he gives 100%... and if it really takes you to a holy place (he brought tears to my eyes with his rendition of the BeeGees' hit "To Love Somebody") FORWARD THIS article to everyone you know. SHARE this article with all of your SOCIAL MEDIA groups -- Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest -- all of 'em.
Give the man the support, love and social push that he needs to keep his confidence and resolve solid.
Make a joyous noise and let the record companies HEAR YOU. This guy is amazing. We need numbers, people. Be heard, oh ye DAZZ-o-Lites. Let's give Joshua Ledet a groundswell of indomitable grassroots support. Hasn't Louisiana suffered enough? Give this young man a break. I want to hear him on the radio. I want his CDs sitting in my friends' homes and cars. I want to hear his music on the radio. I want him to have his choice of record labels.
Get the word out! Forward this article and share it with all of your contacts on social media!
Forward. Re-Tweet. Don't settle for mediocrity when there's still a beautiful voice. Joshua has true star quality. When it comes to musical performers, Joshua Ledet is The American Dream -- don't let that dream evaporate!
Some samples of Joshua's stunning, spellbinding and soulful voice (a gift from the heavens!) follow. You know the procedure: Click on a link. Listen. Get back up off of the floor. Dry your eyes. Come back here. Click on the next one.

Joshua: In a nation immersed in mediocrity, you shine like a star. You are the REAL AMERICAN IDOL. -- RadioDAZZ and Douglas E. Castle (one of your fans). And there's more...
