Review Text
DeDe's powerful vocals combined with her soul's interpretation make this album a top pick for those seeking not only entertainment but an uplifting journey. After a long pause from singing DeDe's passion for entertaining and performing was ignited again in 2007 as she let go of a 24 year addiction to alcohol. DeDe's fear that too much time had passed by and the abuse from alcohol had deteriorated the gift of singing that had come so effortlessly for her throughout high school and college. After meeting and falling in love with her husband she recorded a song for their wedding in 2007. The overwhelming response to her song and the encouragement from her husband provided the courage and belief DeDe needed to once again believe in herself and move in the direction of her dream, recording an album. Today DeDe uses her witty professional speaking and her moving and powerful singing to deliver a message of hope and transformation to all ages. DeDe is also the founder and CEO of 'Snap Out of It' community which includes an online popular talk show called 'Snap Out of It' a radio network called the 'Snap Out of It' Radio Network and the 'Snap Out of it' women's community where she helps women let go of limiting beliefs and regain their power to live the life of their dreams. DeDe performs around the country singing and speaking and truly knows the power of love, hope and shifting of beliefs! Here is what others are saying: DeDe is vibrant onstage as well as off. Her energy and enthusiasm seeps into the soul of those around her. DeDe has a special gift...one that is beautiful, yet strong, but always makes you want more. DeDe's music is incredible. Her passion, endless...she is a true artist. Kelly Burleson CEO Chameleon Marketing, Oklahoma City. I sat down to listen to the Snap Out of it, Women! Talk show and I was BLOWN away! You ROCK! I loved it. There was just the right balance of seriousness with levity. Your guest was great; informative and entertaining. DeDe, you're a marvelous host as always, because you don't allow your guests to "dangle" trying to come up with something to say. Bonnie Bolin Peterson CEO Intentions in Motion - McKinney Texas My inspiration for buying the CD was 'In This Very Room'. When you sang it, you just blew me away!!!! However, I have enjoyed the whole CD all weekend and introduced it to my sister. Your song 'Anyway' ---- Wow!! You are love and light! I wait for you to sing at the church again. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Blessings and Peace, Jimmie Gibbons Chaplain Unity Greenville Church - Dallas Texas I wanted to thank you for your CD that I purchased at the 'Snap Out of It Meeting'. I am going through a trying time and it has helped me SO MUCH!! Love, light, & joy, Niesje- Dallas Texas 'Thank you DeDe! Your voice is awesome! And you truly struck a nerve that had been hiding beneath for many years. It has been in the works for a good many years and it's gonna come to the surface and be eliminated. I look forward to your next meet up! :)' Carol Ann-Snap Out of It Girl - Dallas Texas 'I can't thank you enough for all of your help DeDe, and I really enjoyed being a guest on your 'Snap Out of It' radio show last week. You made the interview flow so well." Dr. Bill Path - Author of Moments of Forever WOW! Every time I listen to you I get chills, but these just simply blow me away! I was playing 'Leading with your Heart' at my desk this morning, and Jim came out of his office and said, 'A little Barbara Streisand?' That about sums it up, I think! These are wonderful! Lori Bedford -Gerald Gamble Co. - OKC My 'interview' on DeDe's Snap Out of It Show was such a pleasure, the conversation evolving and improvised out of our great meeting-of-the-minds from both of us being performers. Our effortless hour together felt more like we were chatting over coffee in a relaxed café. The discussion coming from that fertile ground was unique compared to that of other interviews I've had. Exchanges on this level are m
