*Joshua Ledet, the 3rd Place Finalist who had the “American Idol” judges practically losing weight from all the up and down standing ovations they laid on him in Season 11, took advantage of the success soon after when he performed at the White House in front of President Barack Obama for the “Memphis Soul” event.
Now, with the release of his first single, “Love Can Do” — an ode to Love and the value in its many manifestations, Ledet speaks with the Electronic Urban Report/EURweb’s DeBorah B. Pryor, about how proud he is of the singles’ video (scroll down to watch), what inspired the song and how he hopes listeners will receive it.
His response to one question is especially telling…and shows how American Idol can sometimes stretch the truth in promoting some aspects of the show.

Joshua Ledet sounds like a true winner. Someone who can humbly handle the great career in store for him. While he may not have won the American Idol crown in 2013, (the winner was 21-year-old Phillip Phillips, a guitar player from Georgia and the 5th white guy in a row to win on the show,) the emotional singer did release an original, self-penned song, “Here to Die” on YouTube.
And Rolling Stone praised the work proclaiming, “This song needs to get a commercial release. And when it does, I’ll give whatever label that puts it out a standing ovation.”
On March 2015, Ledet performed “Love Can Do” Live! for the first time on local TV in Indonesia and performed in concert for over 10,000 people. He is currently working with legendary songwriter, Diane Warren, and also performed at the Allstate Tom Joyner Family Reunion in Orlando, Florida over the 2015 Labor Day weekend.
Here’s to you, Joshua Ledet. The world awaits your brand of Love!
