Congratulations on a wonderful event! Lelia, you looked so beautiful and sounded incredible - as always. Once again, I watched a totally captivated audience become immersed in your performance. I hope that you realize how rare and special your talent is - and you - as a person. I am forever a fan.

Lelia Broussard has the confidence of a seasoned artist who's been at this for decades. Her voice starts out playful, moves into rich, widens into soulful, then booms into intense, resonant passion. All the while, she lasers you with such frequent, flirtatious eye contact that you'd swear you're the only one in the place.

Main Line Today, 2005

Lelia Broussard is not your typical 15-year-old. She speaks eloquently about her music and her career. There's been a building buzz following Broussard since she released her debut CD, "Louisiana Soul," last year "I love Alicia Keys," she said. "I think she has a wonderful career and a great attitude about everything. Her whole persona. … She's classy. She's a rarity." Although the humble Broussard likely wouldn't admit it, she could be talking about herself.

The Mercury March, 2005

Lelia Broussard is one to watch for in the years to come. This lady has a maturity and poise to her that will take her far. She has time on her side, yes she does, and time will be very good to her. Never have I heard a voice that is as powerful as Lelia Broussard's, and she's masterfully learning how to harness the energy in her voice. Her unforgettable sound is prominent in everything she sings. Lelia's music and stage performances are full of energy and exuberance.

The Phoenix, January 2005

Louisiana Soul" is a sparkling introduction to Broussard's insightful songwriting. It is also a showcase for her rich voice – a voice that wraps itself around the lyrics and infuses them with warmth and depth. The CD's opening track "Love Me Anyway" immediately worms its way into the listener's brain and its haunting chorus remains there long after the song is over.

The Daily Local November 2004

When I met Lelia, I was impressed that someone so young has such poise and maturity, yet she's still a kid, and a lovely, warm, down-to-earth person. And she sings with authority and power but still with a range of emotion and nuance. Lelia's version of the holiday standard Winter Wonderland shows originality and a real interpretive skill, and she's able to distill her experiences so far in life in her own songs. Her voice and sensibility are so beyond her years.

I love your voice! You are certainly very talented

Lelia Broussard, simply put, is the real deal. Her debut CD is a captivating collection of self-written songs that transcend the boundaries of ordinary singer-songwriters. The fact that she is not yet 16 years old is nothing short of amazing. A gifted vocalist (think Christina Aguilera) and equally adept guitarist, Lelia moves from sweet intimate moments to funky Louisiana soul is less than a heartbeat, leaving her audience breathless. This is someone to watch, her star will definitely be rising, where and when are in the hands of this very young, very gifted artist.

Lizanne Knott, Morningstar Studios.

The first thing anyone listening to Lelia will say is that they can't believe this music is coming from a 15 year old. Her vocals are earthy and alive, her groove driven tunes wrapped around mature lyrics. This young woman has the whole package... I can easily see her going all the way in the music industry!

Dena Marchiony, The Philadelphia Songwriters Project.

I wanted to thank you for your powerful performance on Saturday night. I was so glad I got to go. Your compositions were complex and varied- like an old mansion with many rooms that you can never know completely- and delivered with an unflinching strength. Having the guests come up really made it feel like a celebration too. I've always liked "Stormy Monday" but you gave it a new life. I won't forget when you let loose on "...(Sunday I go to church to) PRAAAAAAAAYYYYY...", It made me wanted to get on my knees and worship the Blues! "Harmony" was beautiful also, clearly from the heart and very moving.

Lisa Muller, artist

I heard you on XPN last week, and I thought you were great. Your voice is excellent, and more importantly, your overall confidence and command is amazing. After I went to your site today, I was even more impressed with your overall ' act." You have that special " It" that people look for in an artist, whether she is involved musically or visually.

Dave Pomponio, Music Manager, The Pomponio Company

My husband and I saw Lelia at the Point on a whim and we cannot get the smiles off of our face after hearing your incredible daughter. She is a gift from the Heavens, no doubt!

Trish Welsh, fan

Pop Lelia's CD, Louisiana Soul, into your player, and no matter how cynical you are about teen girl pop stars, you just shut up. Because Lelia can
really, really sing. Can make it damned near impossible, in fact, to reconcile this fresh-faced Apprentice escapee at the dining room table with that soaring, smoky, rocking, rollicking, wailing, whispering Voice. Listen to Lelia's CD. Then ask yourself: If you were Mrs. Mozart, wouldn't you have done anything to make sure little Wolfgang got to play for the king?"

My husband, Kenny, and I really enjoyed ourselves on Saturday night. You have a beautiful voice and you must have been overjoyed to look around the room and see your family, friends, and all of the people that support and love you. We were sitting right on the couch next to your mother, so we felt like VIPs! We bought your CD and still marvel at the power of your voice.
