I love Mandissa and she's more successful than idol could've gotten her to be with them controlling her music. God had much bigger plans for his child. God Bless You.
Rest in paradise to the beautiful and super talented Mandisa who was so graceful, poised, very transparent and she was so inspiring to countless people around the world. Her music was so beautiful ❤
It's crazy how Mandisa ended up being the most recent finalist so far on American Idol (and one of its only 5 finalists ever) to win the Grammy. Shows how stacked and diverse this season's finalists lineup was.
So proud of how she never have up! God was saying, "Just watch ne glorify myself through this wonderful soul." God showed that He - not Simon or the judges - had the last word in Mandisa's life. He pronounces her worth. It makes.me ponder what amazing things would God do through us if we only let Him (not people) have the last words in our lives. Sometimes I feel His eagerness to show Himself strong in and through me, only I let myself limit him. For her courage and determination, Mandisa is a hero to me.
Have you read Mandisa’s book? It is an amazing insight of her time with American Idol… behind the scenes, bonding with the people, her prayers and listening to God, and her perspective about life and purpose. Amazing!
I remember when Taylor won I and my friends slmost threw up and I threw a book at my T.V.~~He was the worst~~We loved Mandisa and now she's gone and I don't know to react to the dissapointment that year~~I swear something was fixed that year~~So many great singers were let go~~Something was seriously that year~~At least a few of the good ones became very popular and made it big time~~Ya'll know who I mean~~I adored you Mandisa and my heart is breaking, but I know you are safe in the arms of our Lord and I know you are alright~~Loved you all the way sweet girl and your beautiful voice~~You are so very missed~~I wish I could have been with you all the way for your much needed support~~You are and always be loved by so many of us as well as miising you and your beautiful voice and personality~~My heart is still breaking~~😥😥😥💖💖💖~~💖💖💖💖💖~~
Yeah but at the end she may not have won the show on American idle but she won the hearts of very many people who listen to her and became a stronger person because of what she's gone through😘😍🙏😇💛💙💜💚❤💗💖💓👍 👍
I have loved Mandisa when I was was in high school that was when I was 15 years old. She has helped get through a lot in my high school years. When my boyfriend dumped me I turned her on and I never went back to my ex until I moved to Georgia to tell him I forgive him. That is what Mandisa did for me. American Idol was just a milestone in her life to launch her to success. Simon you should never judge a book by its cover. Mandisa has been through a lot in her life from depression, cancer, being an only child of a musical family. Rest in Peace Mandisa I will forever be grateful for you I will always love you forever
Well Kelli Pickler, Chris Daughtry, and Mandisa were eliminated and all have highly successful careers. And Katherine McPhee has launched an acting career and Bucky has had solid music career as well. Funny thing is I haven't heard much from Taylor post idol and even Elliot has faded over the years, with really only 1 hit song. Mandisa and Daughtry seem like the biggest music successes and neither of them got a record deal out of the show.
When this first aired in 2006, I was 18 and I’d met Keith Urban at Newark Airport about three months earlier. I remember thinking it was really cool that his songs were being featured on American Idol. (He’s a really nice guy, by the way!)
They can’t say “And the winner is” at the Academy Awards anymore because it is offensive to the stars egos, but what is said on this show, especially by Simon Scowl, is ok? Hollywood hypocrites.
9:34 Fake Katherine pretending to be sad but can't hide the smile on her face because she's relieved that her biggest competition just got eliminated. Mandisa is a much better singer than she is. If AI was based off of real talent Mandisa would blow her out of the water.
The bottom 3 this season made no sense!! Mandisa and Paris could blow! Mandisa was probably the most successful out this bunch!!! Girl got a grammy in CCM!! Rest easy sis!
I can't really help but weep 😢 crying 😭😭😭😭 uncontrollably over her untimely passing 😢its so very sad she was completely broken and fell a victim of depression after this elimination it honestly destroyed her as a whole but Mandisa was so GREAT at wearing a million dollars smile in times of unfortunate SORROWS 😢 and I am IMMENSELY sorry we lost her this way her death for me personally has been indeed difficult disturbing and honesty troubling i am praying 🙏🙏🙏 for the family particularly her elderly mother😢
Her elimination didn’t stop her from becoming one of the best Christian artists of our time. She continued to inspire us with her music until she went to be with Jesus. RIP
Thank you that makes so much sense. I mean why do the category if one of the judges hates the kind of music? That's where they messed up in the show. Everything would have been different if this didn't happen.
I remember this season, all contestants were amazing, and I had thought Mandisa would be on the Top 3, but she's going home too early. My fave is Elliot, he's so handsome here
there was an intro for the top 12 before the opening sequence can u post that cause the song that is played during the intro i really liked it and now I can't find the song
If I was basing elimination on that night's performances I would've eliminated Taylor (still would have Mandisa in the bottom 3 though) and if I was basing it on body of work I would've eliminated Ace.
Different from some unfair eliminations, Mandisa asked for this (despiste her talent be enough to keep her). She messed up on top 10 night/had a little controversy than she followed with this lame performance? I really believe the fact she wasnt in the bottom 3 actually hurt her/made her coast for this week thinking she would be fine.
Oh Jesus….. Shut up with your racist nonsense. Loser. Season 2- Rubin, season 3- Fantasia, season 6- Jordin…. 3 black winners in the first 6 seasons…. Try harder next time you race baiting waste of space.
Mandisa lost american idol but gained wings to sing to our Lord. RIP
Not eliminated...
Elevated!!!!RiP❤❤🎉
Did y'all hear what she said??? "THIS IS A SET-UP FOR WHAT I'M GOING TO DO FOREVER". REST IN HEAVEN ANGEL!!!!😢
RIP Mandisa 1976-2024 :(
Mandisa. What a beautiful spirit. You will be greatly missed. May you eternally Rest in God's Peace
I love Mandissa and she's more successful than idol could've gotten her to be with them controlling her music. God had much bigger plans for his child. God Bless You.
RIP Mandisa!
My condolences to Mandisa's family and friends. RIP
Yeah, "His" Big Plan to take her way too early 😢
AMEN ❤
Rest in Jesus Mandisa❤
May she rest in peace. Such a beautiful spirit!❤
Rest in paradise to the beautiful and super talented Mandisa who was so graceful, poised, very transparent and she was so inspiring to countless people around the world. Her music was so beautiful ❤
I will always Love Mandisa and her inspirational Music. She's a Beautiful Angel with Our Savior
Awww, beautiful person with a good soul. Sleep in peace. Sing in Glory 💔🙏
Little did all of the judges on american idol ESPECIALLY SIMON CAL know God had another plan in mind for mandisa!
I wonder how Simon feels now? Hopefully remorseful
RIP Mandisa, you will forever be in my heart ❤️
It's crazy how Mandisa ended up being the most recent finalist so far on American Idol (and one of its only 5 finalists ever) to win the Grammy. Shows how stacked and diverse this season's finalists lineup was.
You were always bigger than that stage 😢😢RIP 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
R.I.P Mandisa 💔 can’t believe she died, rock the heavens Mandisa and fly high 👼
And look how HUGELY FAMOUS she is now.
I love that she doesn't deny christ in front of man
huh?...
So true! :)
Amen 🙏 😇💜

You know what mandisa "your an over comer"
This was back in the day when the vote offs were so emotional 😭😭😭
So true. Now, fast forward from then to two weeks ago, and everything was put into perspective.
Don't feel like saying RIH Mandisa. You'll sorely be missed. 😢😢😢😢😢🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
👉🏾 YOU WERE BORN TO SING . 🗣🎙🙏🏿😇❤

Rip beautiful lady
This was 2006. 18 yrs ago. Unreal all that's occurred in this time..... Time waits...for no one...Gods gotcha now, girl..
RIP Mandisa. She died on April 19, 2024.
Yeah but at the end she may not have won the show on American idle but she won the hearts of very many people who listen to her and became a stronger person because of what she's gone through😘😍🙏😇💛💙💜💚❤💗💖💓👍 👍

Simon you should never judge a book by its cover.
Mandisa has been through a lot in her life from depression, cancer, being an only child of a musical family.
Rest in Peace Mandisa I will forever be grateful for you
I will always love you forever
Mandisa Whenever I go to Heaven I want to meet you I can’t wait to meet you one day.
It was so sad to see her go. She should have been in the top 3.
@sboudreaux27 and yet the top 3 are not even relevant
She didn’t do it for this week. Wasn’t crazy about the song choice... sorry
Incredible! I felt this one.... God bless you Mandisa
Imagine that beautiful voice worshipping at the feet of Jesus…Jesus telling her “welcome home my Beloved Daughter, in whom I am well pleased🥰🙏.”
8:48 I like how the audience screamed so loud 😂😂😅😊😊❤ when she got eliminated
Mandisa is Queen
RIP Mandisa we will miss you
Loved Mandisa! Now singing literally at the throne of God! No place that I'd rather be!
Paris was so underrated.
I couldn't believe Mandisa have to going home that night
as awful as it sounds, I think Mandisa got voted off with her being a heavy set woman. Simon making jokes about her weight was uncalled for though
Your channel literally means everything to me.
glad you enjoy it so much
I will miss you dearly mandisa
How dare he mandisa is awesome
Well Kelli Pickler, Chris Daughtry, and Mandisa were eliminated and all have highly successful careers.

Rest In Heaven Disa. ❤
News just broke that she has passed away.
She did
When this first aired in 2006, I was 18 and I’d met Keith Urban at Newark Airport about three months earlier. I remember thinking it was really cool that his songs were being featured on American Idol. (He’s a really nice guy, by the way!)
God had better and bigger plans for her after this ! Love her ♡♡♡
I started crying after this
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Me too! This was a shocker!
If the judges had the save back then, I’m sure they would have saved Mandisa
Random coincidence that you uploaded this on Mandisa's birthday! (oct 2)
actually this was uploaded on October 1st but close enough
I remember seeing her at Winter Jam in Reading Pa. We miss you Disa.
that's just rude just because Simon doesn't like madisa doesn't mean she's bad i like her singing
RIP Mandisa, Kenny Rogers, and the Gambler from his song
That boy Elliot was smooth at 11:25.
Truth is she crushed that song...R.I.P
I loved mandisa that season! She should of made it further and been in the top 3!
This was our favorite season of AI ever.
They can’t say “And the winner is” at the Academy Awards anymore because it is offensive to the stars egos, but what is said on this show, especially by Simon Scowl, is ok? Hollywood hypocrites.
I can't stand Simon here 8:53 😂😅😁😁😄😄 but I like how even the constants were surprised 8:53
She sang well here.
9:34 Fake Katherine pretending to be sad but can't hide the smile on her face because she's relieved that her biggest competition just got eliminated. Mandisa is a much better singer than she is. If AI was based off of real talent Mandisa would blow her out of the water.
May her soul rest in Perfect Peace. Sad news today 19/4/24
I yelled at my tv when Mandisa, Chris and Elliott went home. They were my favorites from the beginning.
The bottom 3 this season made no sense!! Mandisa and Paris could blow! Mandisa was probably the most successful out this bunch!!! Girl got a grammy in CCM!! Rest easy sis!
I can't really help but weep 😢 crying 😭😭😭😭 uncontrollably over her untimely passing 😢its so very sad she was completely broken and fell a victim of depression after this elimination it honestly destroyed her as a whole but Mandisa was so GREAT at wearing a million dollars smile in times of unfortunate SORROWS 😢 and I am IMMENSELY sorry we lost her this way her death for me personally has been indeed difficult disturbing and honesty troubling i am praying 🙏🙏🙏 for the family particularly her elderly mother😢
All she needed was exposure, she was meant to sing gospel, RIP Queen
Wow everyone was surprised, even Elliot
RIP Mandisa
RIP Kenny Rogers
Her elimination didn’t stop her from becoming one of the best Christian artists of our time. She continued to inspire us with her music until she went to be with Jesus. RIP
Kenny Rogers looked good here. I can't believe that he's gone.
Is it really fair to have a country music week when one of the judges hates country music? How is he meant to be objective?
Thank you that makes so much sense. I mean why do the category if one of the judges hates the kind of music? That's where they messed up in the show. Everything would have been different if this didn't happen.
RIP 🙏
Love Mandissa, BUT based on the night before, she deserved to be eliminated.
I remember this season, all contestants were amazing, and I had thought Mandisa would be on the Top 3, but she's going home too early.
My fave is Elliot, he's so handsome here
What song are they all singin at the outset
there was an intro for the top 12 before the opening sequence can u post that cause the song that is played during the intro i really liked it and now I can't find the song
And I mean the season 5 top 12 intro
❤❤❤
Mandisa is ph always was💕🙏🙌
I love the American lodo
rip mandisa
This was a set up ! she should’ve went far in this competition!!
She's still here :)
Amen
But look now mandisa is much more inspiration as a christian and God use her talents and life to make more shine
Love ameci
She should have not been in the bottom much less went home that night... I expected Kelli to go remembering that night
No she deserved to be in the bottom 3 just not eliminated.
the only one that I know until now is Mandisa
If ther's already a save in this season, she'll get it.
Wish she would have won!
Yeah, she was fantastic. I think my ideal top 5 would have been her, Paris, Chris, Kevin, and Elliot.
Would've been awesome, but, honestly, she didn't need to... Look at her now!!
Call me crazy but I loved the elimination theme they used for the first six seasons
If the save existed this season I definitely think the judges would’ve used it on Mandisa
I miss this type of criticism on Idol...
I need to soundtrack when the voting begins..
What year mandisa in American idol?
This was season 5 back in 2006
omg most of the season 5 finalists were popular..katherine, chris, mandisa..
RIP, also, to Mandisa. Came out of seemingly nowhere. ✝️
If I was basing elimination on that night's performances I would've eliminated Taylor (still would have Mandisa in the bottom 3 though) and if I was basing it on body of work I would've eliminated Ace.
Different from some unfair eliminations, Mandisa asked for this (despiste her talent be enough to keep her). She messed up on top 10 night/had a little controversy than she followed with this lame performance? I really believe the fact she wasnt in the bottom 3 actually hurt her/made her coast for this week thinking she would be fine.
Who came here after the death of Mandisa
Daya Daya madaya
Simon never has anything nice to say.
The time when they eliminate all black contestant .
Oh Jesus….. Shut up with your racist nonsense. Loser. Season 2- Rubin, season 3- Fantasia, season 6- Jordin…. 3 black winners in the first 6 seasons…. Try harder next time you race baiting waste of space.
Lol the top 3 got horrible comments from the judges
