US TV Show – Gospel Dream 2009 Winner is Tony LeBron…Video Added!
32-year-old bilingual worship leader from Boca Raton, FL Tony LeBron beat thousands of entries to win the fourth season of the talent search TV series Gospel Dream last night on the Gospel Music Channel (GMC) television network (www.gospelmusicchannel.com).
LeBron was chosen over the other finalists Robert Mauti, 26 of Nashville, TN, and NeVar Massey, 34 from Hampton, GA in the dramatic season finale.
The finale opened with a memorable performance by Gospel Dream season three winner Melinda Watts, who sang “There Will Come a Day” from her debut album called People Get Ready, out this week on Razor & Tie Records. The theme of the show’s fourth season was The Greatest Inspirational Songs of All Time and the final three contestants then delivered both classics as well as mainstream hits last night. Massey sang Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” and “How Great Is Our God.” Mauti performed “Give Me Jesus” and the classic “I’ll Take You There.” But it was LeBron’s stunning, dual-language performances of Bruce Hornsby’s “The Way It Is” and “I Surrender All” that catapulted him to the crown.
The judges who tapped LeBron as the winner were Michelle Williams from the GRAMMY- winning group “Destiny’s Child”; one of Gospel music’s most prolific talents, J. Moss; and music industry executive Mitchell Solarek. American Idol® alumnae Kimberley Locke co-hosted the show along with Mike Kasem (“MTV’s Top 20 Video Countdown” “American Top 10″).
