American Idol - Joshua Ledet - PLEASE FORWARD - PLEASE Re-TWEET

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .




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...

"I Can't Break Away" - Big Pig Cries To Demonic Entities - I'm Scared...

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .



Big PigListen to this demonic march and enjoy the crack of the whip. They also sing some incantation in a language which is totally unfamiliar to me. It makes DAZZ shiver. The song, "I Can't Break Away" was performed in the transitional 1980's by the group Big Pig. It will absolutely give you chills. It's from the Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Soundtrack, at the opening credits.

USELESS FACTOIDS ABOUT THE GROUP!

The Australian group Big Pig made a memorable first impression in 1988 with the belligerent percussion and incendiary vocals of their only U.S. hit, "Breakaway." Big Pig was noted for their fashion sense as well, wearing leather aprons that gave them a unique look. Formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1986, Big Pig was comprised of Oleh Witer (vocals, percussion), Sherine Abeyratne (vocals, percussion), Tony Antonaides (vocals, harmonica), Tim Rosewarne (vocals, keyboards), Neil Baker (drums), Adrian Scaglione (drums), and Nick Disbray (vocals, percussion). Witer, Sherine, and Rosewarne were originally in the band Bang; however, Witer wanted an edgier, more experimental sound that also retained Bang's funky rhythms. In 1986, Big Pig released a self-titled EP; it was later distributed by Australia's Mushroom label with bonus dance mixes of "Hungry Town" and "Money God." "Hungry Town" reached number 14 on the Australian charts, and it was also included on the Young Einstein soundtrack. The group started recording their debut LP Bonk in 1987 with producer Nick Launay. The album was released in America by A&M Records in 1988, and the eye-popping video for "Breakaway" was played on MTV. The song also landed at number four in Australia. "Breakaway" then reappeared on the Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure soundtrack. Despite the support -- and inevitable hype -- Big Pig received because of "Breakaway," they had already vanished from the U.S. airwaves by the time their second album, You Lucky People, was released in 1990. Big Pig toured and then ceased recording. ~ Michael Sutton, Rovi

Listen to the metal of the guitars, and the crack of the whip in the percussion foundation. The song is truly one-of-a-kind. Click, and crank up the volume. You'll have to force yourself not to sing the refrain.
