LaKisha Jones was a contestant on American Idol a couple seasons ago. This is her latest single. Buy and listen to the original hereIt has remixes by Jody Den Broeder, Friscia & Lamboy, and One Cool Cuban. Listen to a clip of the One Cool Cuban mix here
It's a pretty good song. I like how LaKisha's vocal performance is restrained and not overly powerful. Just enough. Jody's mix is absolutely stunning. It's an elegant Disco/House mix. His Discopella is really pretty too. Just LaKisha's vocals, the piano and some very light percussion. The Friscia & Lamboy mix showed some promise but the amount of vocoding on the vocals in some places is distracting. The instrumental hook of the mix reminds me of some early 90's underground song I used to hear a lot. The One Cool Cuban one is decent too. |

Cannot wait to hear this one, LaKisha has the ability to be a dance artist. Unlike the gay-hating Mandisa.
I wish Melinda Dolittle would do a dance friendly recording.

It pains me to think back on those bad PR moves that Mandisa did at the beginning, because her first album True Beauty is stunning and totally deserving of the Grammy nomination it received. She also does a killer remake of Mary Mary's "Shackles" on it, which probably could have gotten the remix treatment if she didn't say such stupid things. Her new single "My Deliverer" is also great, so another reason I wish she could just take back what she said. Can't wait to hear the Lakisha mixes. |

What did big girl Mandisa actually say?? I never had heard any of this drama... Mandisa breaks her silence
By Neal Broverman | An Advocate.com exclusive posted April 6, 2006
Wednesday night was your last night on American Idol. What are your feelings? You must be upset.
I was. I was shocked, and I wasn't ready to go. In hindsight, I look back on it now and it was my time. You can't go wrong with who they've got left. It's going to be a great season this year.
There's been controversy about your comments on the Idol Web site and your appreciation for antigay writer and lecturer Beth Moore. Some took it as an endorsement of the "ex-gay" movement. What do you say to people who were turned off by that?
I just heard about that a couple of days ago. It broke my heart. I live my life by the value system that you treat others the way you want to be treated. I let love be my guide. I absolutely hate no one. When I heard that I was really upset.
Is there a conflict between being religious and being gay?
I know my value system, based on that, that on the word [of the Bible], that it does speak of that. I do know I have no place to judge anybody. I know that at the end of time we all face the judge and his name is not going to be Mandisa, so I cannot place any judgment on anyone.
Would you be comfortable performing or singing at a gay event?
I would not, no.
Would it conflict with your religious beliefs?
Based on what I believe, I'm not an advocate for [being gay], so it's nothing I would take part in.
Do you think that feeling contributed—along with your Web site profile—to some people not voting for you?
It's possible. Honestly, I'm not sure. I've heard a lot of different theories about what could have happened, and all of 'em sound pretty decent to me. So I just know I did my best and I tried to live my life in public the way I do in my personal life. You know, it was just my time and it could have contributed.
Would you change anything if you had the choice?
I wouldn't. I don't have any regrets. It's been an amazing ride for me. I have enjoyed every second, every minute of it. So I am not looking back on it. I enjoyed myself so much, I wouldn't want to change a thing.
Before you sang the Mary, Mary gospel song “Wanna Praise You,” you mentioned that people's various addictions and lifestyles are not as strong as God. Were you speaking of gay people?
No, no. That song was a very personal testimony for me. I've been dealing with an addiction to food for most of my life. I've been living in a lifestyle of pure indulgence, giving in to every single desire that I've had as far as what I've put into my body. So when I was speaking that, I was strictly speaking of how the Lord has helped me to overcome my personal struggle and I was just saying if God can do it for me—and a lot of other people face many different things out there—I was trying to be a testimony that he can do it for anybody.
Do you think gay people can turn straight?
I don't really know. I honestly don't know much about it. I wouldn't be very knowledgeable to speak on that subject.
What are your future plans?
Not sure. There's a lot of possibilities that have opened up for me. So I'm just looking forward to seeing what is next and can't wait to see what's in store.
Thank you, Mandisa. Good luck.
Thank you.

^^ Thanks, never knew all that. Very similar in tone to Miss California's recent dumba$$ remarks. Someday hopefully people will realize how hurtful and judgmental they are being, regardless of their "intention" or "personal opinion". In America, we do have the right of free speech but most people should use a little more discretion...

Wow, i absolutely love the JDB remix of this song... Its the perfect combination of electro and disco, and the vocals are so amazing on the track.
This seems like it's going to be a Pride anthem this year.
One of my top 10 dance remixes of 2009 so far

That song is just heavenly all the way through. I'm totally enjoying the F&L take on this, although the song kind of fades from memory almost instantly for me. |

Just the right amount of everything, in my opinion. Very nice. I also love Agnes's song, but would much rather have something like this as the "Pride" anthem of this year. The lyrics are much more uplifting, obviously. |
