The children will never know that “going viral” meant people saying “did you see idol last night”

I just jammed “Call me the breeze” with him tonite. Such a cool dude.

It’s unfortunate that such a beautiful woman is no longer with us. R.I.P girl. Keep singing to the Lord

Mandisa is gorgeous inside and out. Simon Cowell is an asshole for making that comment about her weight. This is why thinking should be considered before opening your mouth

Mandisa Hundley was the 7th American Idol finalist to join the choir invisible. She died of complications from class III obesity. The 6th one was CJ Harris from season 13. He died of a heart attack. The 5th one was Willie Spence from season 19. He died in a head-on collision on the freeway near Chattanooga, Tennessee. The 4th one was Nikki McKibbin from season 1. She died of brain aneurysm. The 3rd one was Leah LaBelle from season 3. She died in a car wreck. The 2nd one was Rickey Smith from season 2. He was killed by a drunk driver on the freeway. The first American Idol finalist to die was Michael Johns from season 7. He died of natural causes.

The contestant that was harassed the most in the history of Idol….She should have won.

Still epic in 2024 ❤

Yes

Rest in peace to you, beautiful angel, and you inspire me to never give up on my goals in life. I love and miss you so much, and we will meet face to face in a better place with the Lord.

Watching in 2024❤

And those comments from Simon are EXACTLY!!!! why I still will NEVER!!!! watch American Idle ever again.

R.I.P Mandisa 👼🤍

She is a superstar. I have no idea why she wasn't hugely successful after the show ended.

Amazing performance. Bo rocks!

She was adorable. Simon may be honest, but he is also rude, crude, and obnoxious. She married Ace Young who wrote songs for Chris Daughtry. They starred in musicals together and have a lasting marriage. Degarmo has not done shabby at all.

Rest in peace.

RIP, she was such a talented young lady.

Cowell is an ahole…always has been. When your brand is “be hateful to people by calling it truth” then you got a problem.

That was very good. She captured the dramatics and all

I hope she wins!

RIP Mandisa may you be in a better place singing with the angels

RIP Mandisa 😔😔😔

Rest in peace love 💕

She would have lived a lot longer if she wasn’t nearly 500 pounds!

I prefer Tomika.

He was very rude in the past. I think he's calmed down after having a son.

I feel like for Kelly it was a sing off rather than a duet. That’s why she made a hot mess out of a beautiful song. What a shame.

I forgot how good this was.

RIP Chica

I loved her!

i remember Celine Dion and aretha franklin in 1998 😂😂😂

I wonder what Simon felt like when Mandisa was gone this year. RIP Mandisa you will always be remembered

My favorite artist to ever come through idol

I votes for her and stopped watching after she lost

Well, the public bullying started here.

When you’re fat. It brings. More health problems. Simon told her that years ago it may have sounded rude. But he was honest

Rest in heaven Mandisa, You're lucky to be called home by God even if we're missing you so much on earth we know you're in a better place.

RIH Mandisa 😢

She could have finished the song 🙏🙏🙏🙏why didn't she lmaoo

Rip Mandisa, gone too soon ❤

Rip peace to mandisa Ryan seacrest just announced it on Sunday they will be sending a special tribute to her next week

Mandisa was a true sweetheart! She will be missed. She had a fantastic voice and a beautiful heart. ❤️ Rest in the arms of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Hard to believe this was nearly two decades ago. And even harder to believe she is gone. Such an amazing talent, taken from us way too soon.

Wowww, video uploaded 17 years ago 😳 I think this is the oldest video I've seen on youtube.

Wow! Those comment by Simon “Coward” were disgusting, repulsive, repugnant, reprehensible and rude! He definitely owed Mandisa an apology for those awful thoughts going through his mind as she was excited to show her talent that was most worthy of applause! RIP Mandisa! 😢

RIP love

..i miss U..mandisa..

Quite cruel of him. Even if he thought it, he could have kept it to himself.

R.I.P. Mandisa Thomas.
