She went on to become one of the greatest Christian artists of our day, but I will always remember the day she taught the world to forgive like Jesus. RIP Queen.
Amen!!! God used her on this show. She was a vessel of the Spirit. I purchased her book Saturday. I can’t put it down. Rip Sister. Your work will live on!!!!!
By forgiving Simon, Mandisa was not only right with God, but she was also an incredible witness to the judges and everyone watching. Great job Mandisa, I hope we can all learn from her (especially me).
How disgusting of Simon to body shame her because she suffered a lot of low self-worth because of her weight. But thank God she showed CHRIST'S love and forgiveness towards him, she was such a great witness for Christ! RIP beautiful lady!
Amen…Like I tell my students, happy people don’t have to stoop so low to make themselves feel high. She was one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met and I’m so glad I can listen to her voice as often as I’d like.
This is my first time seeing this. Forgiveness in action, and she was not afraid to speak of her faith even then. What an example. We miss you, Mandisa!
04/30/2024- Wow! Me too. I guess this is one of those edited outs that they are releasing now given the circumstances. Man... I literally remember this audition of hers. It was everything. Still gives me chills. wow.
She’s struggled with her weight due to binge eating to cope with sexual abuse and rape from a young age. Heartbreaking 💔 always be kind you never know what someone is going through. God bless
You are so right. Lost my mum a few years back and my one sister who was grieving just like the rest of us became very aggressive and angry but not towards me because my then I had completely cut her off because I did not want the toxicity in my life and told her the next time one of sees each again we may deceased or near dying. Unfortunately 2 years later the next time I saw her and talked to her she was in a hospice in an intubated state and transitioning and she passed away 2 days later of cancer. All that time she had been battling cancer and no one knew. Now I am left to grieve and I feel so horrible that I mentally cannot get out of this rut. If only I had been there for her when she reached out to me and I never responded to her message. Whew... My life has been nothing but a struggle ever since. I find myself some days in really really deep depression.
@@imhereforitall9218 I am so sorry of your pain. Please reach out to talk to someone who can help. I wish you comfort and healing as you cope with your loss.
Mandisa is a beautiful woman and I am so sorry that she wasted one tear on that despicable man Simon Cowell. Simon thinks that he is all that?? Not even close.
Agreed. Simon is so rude to people. Forget blunt. He's just straight up rude. But mandisa has a heart of gold. I may not be a christian but I'll always love her!
@@gracie872 you can always try it. 😊 It doesn't guarantee an easier life but the retirement benefits outweigh any of the present circumstances. Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
He may have made fun of her but God was on her side So go ahead and laugh because God had bigger plans for her. She sing for God Almighty so in your faces all who judged her.
Though Mandisa has two grammy awards now in her hands and simon cowell not even one. Thats how God moves when someone shows His Charecter for all to see.
She represented Jesus well. She used her gift for God. She was a Champion and Advocate for Mental Health in Christianity. We will deeply miss you. Thank you, Mandisa, for everything.
@Cajunomics I agree some people laugh or smile in uncomfortable situations. This may or may not have been the case either way he should have come to her defense and I agree with you Mandisa held herself with such class and dignity. I love her ♥️
Basically 😂😅😊😊😊 that's what she do when someone probably offends her I noticed she was sarcastic and kind of shady too lmaoo at least she prayed for him 🙏🙏🙏 That was hilarious
Ya` gotta` love this lady!! her faith and grace are as big as her voice. Mandisa, "Thank you for blessing us with the time we got to share with you here on earth but now You will be blessed in heaven "
She was the only woman and contestant who truly humbled Simon on that show. She was a beautiful example of love, grace and faith in action and the world will truly miss her. Fly high beautiful Mandisa
mandisa is now with our papa God lets pray for healing in her family and friends hearts thank you for sharing your voice with the world mandisa rest in peace my sister in christ
Well he did say he apologized and he seemed rightly embarrassed by the reality of his words' impact. And she forgave him even without needing his apology. I don't know what else he should have done or said in this moment, his main responsibility was to make no further comments about her appearance which I don't think he did. I don't recall him making jokes about anyone's weight in future seasons either but I could definitely be wrong. Anyway I wouldn't have particularly cared to hear Simon speak more, this moment is about Mandisa extending grace to someone who didn't ask for it or deserve it.
She certainly hearkened to Jesus command and the Holy Spirit gave her wisdom to utter such words to Simon and he was humble enough to recognized he did wrong. I love them all.
Mandisa is now Famous in her own Right and one great song she sings on is "i dont wanna lose my soul" by Toby Mac...but she has Records of her own out now too.
Mandisa looked beautiful inside and out❣️ She set a very good example by forgiving Simon and moving forward. 😇 Simon needs to remember if he can’t say anything nice than don’t say anything at all. Now she is in heaven with Jesus. 👏
Society changed overnight and we all witnessed it, Thank you Mandissa for being the salt and light of the world my 4year daughter listens to goodmorning before school 😢😢😂😊
I heard about this, and how she dealt. This is the highest class of individual that humanity could hope for. Came in letting him know that she knew what he said. Then rained grace on him, in the name of Jesus. That’s pure beauty.
Came to watch this just because I heard she died! I wonder if after forgiving, she got over the self image issues though. I am so tearing up for the beautiful soul that made me sing so loudly while driving😢
I remember watching this as it happened and thought how awful that was of Simon to say that to her “behind” her back after her audition. She handled it very well. Now she’s with King Jesus 🥲
@@ChristopherOdegard-l5e he said "I apologize" after he was highly encouraged to do so, and he rolled his eyes as he said it. It wasn't genuine and it's different, at least to me, than a heartfelt "I am sorry".
I miss her so much. Not only did Simon need to apologize but Randy sat in his lil chair and laughed at Simon's comments. It's like high school all over again for them two😡
She told him in the beginning tho 😂😅😊😊😊❤ with she don't need a bigger stage comment 😭😭 I was actually embarrassed for him at one point LMAOO but the part where she said she cried got me Aww
Sad to hear her news from K love when you passed. Thank you Mandisa. Thank you for being a real Christian. People will remember you. Wish people hear overcomer song more and more.
She went on to become one of the greatest Christian artists of our day, but I will always remember the day she taught the world to forgive like Jesus. RIP Queen.
Amen🙏❤
Will Always Be With Us.....AMEN 🙏 💞 💖
Amen 🙏

Amen

True you never know. Lots of singers are heavy set. If someone has a psychological problem causing overeating they need compassion and help.
Mandisa COULDN'T have said it better!! 😍🙂
How disgusting of Simon to body shame her because she suffered a lot of low self-worth because of her weight. But thank God she showed CHRIST'S love and forgiveness towards him, she was such a great witness for Christ! RIP beautiful lady!

Wow I wanted to cry when she said all that, I felt her courage.
I cried 😭💔 People should really be mindful with their choice of words, it can be painful.
She is singing with the angels now! Rest in Peace beautiful!😢
THATS *IF* she didn't commit suicide
She’s struggled with her weight due to binge eating to cope with sexual abuse and rape from a young age. Heartbreaking 💔 always be kind you never know what someone is going through. God bless

Years later, Mandisa would win in the Grammy Awards.
Amen
How in the world did I miss this??? What an amazing display of grace and class. I love how Simon reacted and how supported her🙏💕

Which is why we need to do as Mandisa Did - FORGIVE and go the next step and PRAY for Simon’s Salvation in the name of JESUS CHRIST ❣️❣️❣️
He may have made fun of her but God was on her side So go ahead and laugh because God had bigger plans for her. She sing for God Almighty so in your faces all who judged her.
Terry Ann Mann Preach!!!!!
And She gave him the TEACHING of what Our Lord Jesus Christ Teaches L-O-V-E 🙏🏼.... Love Conquers All.... Handle him with Simpleness ... Hallelujah 🙌🏼
She’s such a genuine person. She really showed the grace that we are given. Love her!
You are a beautiful soul Mandisa. We will miss you. May you keep singing with the angels.
My mom told me that this moment changed Simon Cowell’s behavior from being a really brutal and mean judge, to an honest judge
The grace she extended out to Simon is a marvel and miracle to the world. That changed him in ways we couldn't even begin to imagine yet.
Just heard of her passing & didn’t know she got started on American Idol. She has overcome this world & gone home to be with the Lord.
Here when she passed away. She was always doing God's work and now she is truly with Him.
That's if she didn't commit suicide
Mandisa is a BEAUTIFUL full-figured woman, full of grace, love, and the character of Christ Himself!!!
RIP to this wonderful beautiful woman. She really deserved that Hollywood ticket. Im glad her voice could be heard while she could.
Though Mandisa has two grammy awards now in her hands and simon cowell not even one. Thats how God moves when someone shows His Charecter for all to see.
Simon is not a singer so why would he have a grammy? 😂😂
She glorified Jesus in that
😂😂Boy how times have changed. Simon would've got cancelled if he made those comments today!
She represented Jesus well. She used her gift for God. She was a Champion and Advocate for Mental Health in Christianity. We will deeply miss you. Thank you, Mandisa, for everything.
That’s because there is money in Jesus. Christian artists make good $$$.
Randy talking about "you said the right thing to him" he's just as guilty as Simon laughing after every remark and didn't one time defend her!
@Cajunomics I agree some people laugh or smile in uncomfortable situations. This may or may not have been the case either way he should have come to her defense and I agree with you Mandisa held herself with such class and dignity. I love her ♥️
I noticed that too and was disappointed in Randy. Simon is a cow!
@@dsmyers281Simon Cow-ell 🐄
She will never be forgotten R.I.P Mandisa
And She gave him the TEACHING of what Our Lord Jesus Christ Teaches L-O-V-E 🙏🏼.... Love Conquers All.... Handled him with Simpleness ... Hallelujah 🙌🏼
She just beat him up with the name of Jesus! Amen!
With a smile on her beautiful face!
May she Rest In Peace 🕊️
Beautiful young lady…will be missed. “Overcomer” is my go to song when heavy days need conquering.
This was beautiful! Who are we to not forgive when Jesus forgave all of our sins?! She is right and so brave! Amen!
Mandisa you have never changed your radiate beautiful Queen Esther anointing spirit. The Lord just continues to use you in a mighty way
What a great lesson you left behind for us all. You are a Queen Mandisa. Rest on!
BEAUTIFUL woman of God. Words of grace. I do love Mandisa.
She made him look like a clown
Without even doing anything
Basically 😂😅😊😊😊 that's what she do when someone probably offends her I noticed she was sarcastic and kind of shady too lmaoo at least she prayed for him 🙏🙏🙏 That was hilarious
You are missed. Beautiful faith Beautiful voice. I love your music
Idk how she does it. I hope God will help me to forgive like that.
It’s because of the Holy Spirit inside of her from the moment she surrendered her will and put her hope and trust in Jesus
Amen
She really killed em with kindness!
Lol “y’all looking at my bottom as I walk out” 😂 lol she’s so cute
I laughed over that: May her soul rest in peace 🕊️
I want Mandisa's words to be my ringtone.
A child of God always does demonstrate Jesus ❤ the humility and meekness she has demonstrated is so beautiful !
Ya` gotta` love this lady!! her faith and grace are as big as her voice. Mandisa, "Thank you for blessing us with the time we got to share with you here on earth but now You will be blessed in heaven "
RIP Mandisa 😢 a sweet soul who wasn’t long for this world. She’s shining in heaven now.
That's so true. Very sad!
Mandisa means sweetness
I’ve met her she’s so amazing
I saw her at the Winter jam tour!!!
She’s so talented and so well spoken. She definitely allows God to use her. I love her so much!!
Well spoken. How condescending.
She’s truly a class act! Love her ❤❤
RIP beautiful soul. You witnessed to the world ❤❤
I love Mandisa. She's such an inspiration!
She was the only woman and contestant who truly humbled Simon on that show. She was a beautiful example of love, grace and faith in action and the world will truly miss her. Fly high beautiful Mandisa

She was so amazing and will be forever missed
I love your song I, unfinished
Mandisa I'm humbled,come here for a hug
But he never owned up to his wrongs and truly apologized.

Yes he did >_>
She certainly hearkened to Jesus command and the Holy Spirit gave her wisdom to utter such words to Simon and he was humble enough to recognized he did wrong. I love them all.
He didn't even apologize
fousies he did at the end
Eeks out "I do apologize" after being coerced by the other judges. You call that an apology?
fousies If you watched other videos of this at the end it wasn’t very loud and clear by Simon did apologize
Great lesson there. You don't need someone to apologize in order to forgive them.
Disa is amazing! Love her so much!
Mandisa is now Famous in her own Right and one great song she sings on is "i dont wanna lose my soul" by Toby Mac...but she has Records of her own out now too.
Man, she will definitely be missed! I have my struggles as well even if they’re unknown she definitely was a fighter!
wow I really cried watching this. Bless Mandisa for showing the love of God with her courage and choosing forigiveness
Mandisa looked beautiful inside and out❣️
She set a very good example by forgiving Simon and moving forward. 😇
Simon needs to remember if he can’t say anything nice than don’t say anything at all.
Now she is in heaven with Jesus. 👏
Rest in love in the arms of Jesus!! Thank you for your beautiful music and inspiring spirit!
Beautiful in every sense of the word!!! Word-Up Simon,
Great lesson for you and everyone else in this world!😊
Love you Mandisa! You are next in line for your miracle
Damn, that hurt. I learned my lesson. I will say nothing negative to anyone. Words do HURT. ONE LOVE,
May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
I have ALOT of respect for especially after seeing this. God bless her 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
amen mandisa glory to god
She's so courageous!!!😊
She was incredible in every way.

Wow such a sweet and classy lady now she's God's angel😍, r.i.p Mandisa you are such a Class Act❗
Rest in Peace Mandisa.
She is class. God bless her.
She is the epitome of grace and love
Mandisa was a light in dark places! Her love for Jesus overpowered Simon's cold heart. She is singing with the angels now! Deeply missed😢
No one has to body shame me-I do it everyday
May your soul rest in Paradise.. GOD is the great I AM..
R.I.P. Mandisa Lynn Hundley our deepest condolences to the family Prays your Way Amen.
When God say yes no one can stop the plans. I ❤her grace when she forgive him. I bet Simon felt some kind of way.
Epic, Beautiful lady. There is truth in that the good die young...Rest in peace Goddess.
Mandisa is a blessing. Her personality is kind, energetic and gracious. And she applied what was biblical on Matthew chapter 18❤
Wow!!! I need some Mandisa
Simon still couldn't say "I'm sorry" but like she said she didn't need him to say sorry to forgive him.
He did apologize though at the end.
@@ChristopherOdegard-l5e he said "I apologize" after he was highly encouraged to do so, and he rolled his eyes as he said it. It wasn't genuine and it's different, at least to me, than a heartfelt "I am sorry".
❤❤❤
Rest well ma'am. Overcomer and Good morning are my 2 faves! You were an inspiration! Hug Jesus for me
R.I.P. Mandisa 🙏🏻
&
R.I.P. The *Real* American Idol (Randy, Paula and Simon)
Simon, Show SINCERE regret and apology to Mandisa...not smirking and sarcasm!
So classy and such a beautiful example of how we are called to forgive just as Jesus forgives us.
Mandisa is an African name mean "sweetness" she was a sweetheart ❤ RIP
It hurts to see you go so soon however knowing you had this ❤ for Jesus makes me know your soul is at peace & rest. What a beautiful voice & spirit.
*GIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRLLLL* YOU ROCK!!!!!! LET JESUS SHINE THROUGH YOU!
I miss her so much. Not only did Simon need to apologize but Randy sat in his lil chair and laughed at Simon's comments. It's like high school all over again for them two😡
Amen - Mandisa was an amazing person. She is so right about forgiveness. RIP Mandisa......see ya up there!
The worse part about it is that SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL
Mandisa was a beautiful soul.
Mandisa, a woman of grace.😊❤
Descanse em paz guerreira. Nós do Brasil te amamos.
She told him in the beginning tho 😂😅😊😊😊❤ with she don't need a bigger stage comment 😭😭 I was actually embarrassed for him at one point LMAOO but the part where she said she cried got me Aww
Sad to hear her news from K love when you passed. Thank you Mandisa. Thank you for being a real Christian. People will remember you. Wish people hear overcomer song more and more.
Sometimes, people are a little TOO forgiving when they eally need to confront people.
He doesn't deserve a pass.
