American Idol 5 - Mandisa´s Audition

[scescuba]

I met her!!! :D :D :D

[TheCsinger1]

I love her so muchh

[Godisfaithful2011]

Simon is awful. She was and still is beautiful.

[xsingalingx]

i have met her. she is so beautiful<3

[theyeller111]

Paula <3

[McShort0Megstak]

You get him paula!

[shmexydancer101]

she's so amazing on 104.7 the fish! i had no idea that she was on american idol!!!!!!!

[cocoa020]

I was 10 when i watched this season, and the whole season I was rooting for Mandisa. Then she lost and my lil self was like W.T.F!!! She was AWESOME. I <3 Mandisa!! you go girl ;P

[jakeencpd]

you know she saw this in the rerun?

[xsingalingx]

simon you know she dropped 100 lbs so you can stfu.

[xsingalingx]

i met her today!!

[PRIMEHUNTER11011]

Push 4....sounds like she's saying f you. =p

[cheekypants321]

I fucking love Simon XD

[energizer61bunny]

Now there's a difference between being 'Honest' and just plain rude. I know Simon's rep, but that comment of really low and uncalled for...Even for him.

[saunei]

@energizer61bunny foreal. i thought simon was better than that.

[jemkanopret]

"She's like France" hahah

[yawningwithbordom]

really simon say that behind her back?????

[Marbear112]

I did not see American Idol but i heard that made fun of a women for her weight and then she forgive him!! and now i now that women is Mandisa and i will being in November at Women of Faith's over the top tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marbear112]

@Marbear112  seeing her

[izeckx]

Funny how Simon acts like a turd because of her weight. Look at her now, she looks amazing while Simon still looks like shit.

[MrMuzafarPasha]

@izeckx hahahaha

[DawnieQuel]

This video clip doesn't show her full response but I believe she actually responded with I forgive you Simon... cool lady

[Tesseract1976]

Simon is fat as well, but you can't see his. It's all between his ears.

[legacygal4eva]

That was possibly one of the meanest things Simon has said. Thank you, Paula for smacking him.

[okebaram]

It may seem funny and all, but people should be considerate and not stupid. You know you are talking about another person who will watch those comments. Treat others as you would like to be treated, or as you would like someone to treat, say your daughter. Stupid mockery from Simon.

[youscared422]

Omg, it's been awhile since I had seen her audition. I am so offended. Grace, beauty, and talent comes in all shapes and sizes. If we were all the same size, sang the same way, and looked the same, how boring would that be?

[DorianBallerina97]

The reason why hes a judge is he cant sing.

[xic4loca]

YEAH PAULA SMACK HIM HARD FOR BEING A MEANIE BEANIE! >:D

[mizapostolic98]

i love how Paula smacks him and randy laughes...he's big inthe vid 2 he shud have done something......lol but Mandisa's anazing!!

[missmonkeygirl911]

Mandisa told the crowds at one of her speeches that no matter what Simon said, she forgave him and that my friends, is TRUE beauty! God bless her!

[iluvsesshomaru09]

aw come on, Simon! Fat ppl can sing better than your grandma!

[CRUZAZUL0023]

i love her<33 i have her cd(:

[slehoux25]

Ugh Simon!!! How can someone be so rude? I seen Mandisa last week at Women of Faith and absolutely LOVE her :-) She is a woman of God.

[kenneyut]

@3chowell 

[kenneyut]

@3chowell

Amen to that!!!!!!

One thing I have noticed about people like him is that they can talk about others but cannot see themselves...I wish Paula would have conked him..

[awesomenessability]

Simon is rude but at least he didn't say it to her face. which he could have easily done...

[veronjn111]

simon i wouldnt be talking!!! your so rude!! nobody likes you!!! mendisa is a star now!!!! you may not have been there for her, but god was!!! i love you mendisa!! as for simion.... go fuck cow, jackass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[723bet]

Look where's Mandisa now! God favors those who use their gifts for His glory, and that's exactly what she's doing. I'm so glad she went into the Christian music industry. She is a blessing.

[chinesespiderman]

Mandisa is awesome! Simon is a jerk as always! He is also very shallow and immature to say something like that. Not to mention unprofessional, cruel, and unkind. Why was he ever a judge on this show anyway?! Is he the creator of this show? Great idea, but stupid mouth. I think I've seen the show maybe 3 times over the last 5 years because I can't stand to watch him tear people down. So sad.

[mcflurrie122]

I love mandisa...

She sung with Toby mac I believe

[pictureperfect971]

I love Paula's smack!!!!!!

[dramababe3474]

Go Paula!!!! Smack him for being rude!!

[chullybeans]

gosh, she's beautiful.

[JesusFreak77753]

Simon that was mean and uncalled for man, i luv mandisa she is such a good musician which i don't really know why she is on American idol CUZ she is already a musician, she was on tour with tobyMac....now i would LOVE TO SEE TOBYMAC ON AMERICAN IDOL OR AMERICA'S GOT TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brandimillimillion09]

SIMON IS JUST STRAIGHT UP RUDE OHHHH I WISH I WAS THERE IF HE WOULD HAVE SAID THAT IN MY FACE OR BEHIND MY BACK WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPEN ALWAYS TALKEN BOUT SOMEBODY SOMEBODY NEED TO TALK ABOUT HIS GRUMPY BUT!!!!!

[freakfreak12345]

I wanted her to win that season!

[brandonhytr]

i hate simon, juding people on their inging is one thing but judging them on their appearance, FUCK U SIMON

[extrememakeoverfan]

It is crazy for him to go on about her weight when Ruben and Frenchie were both larger than her. But what does it matter when they can sing? I think Frenchie would have kicked ass her season by the way. They had to go and kick her off. Mandisa's got a fabulous voice as well.

[theshore465]

love the last part.

[soylareina80]

obviously his mother didnt teach him about having respect for others. he may have alot of money,and alot of fame, but he will end up a lonely man with that attitude. hes an idiot....thats all.God dont like ugly. :)

[bubs51]

Can Not stand him, what a nasty thing to say I guess you got fooled look at her go now baby!!

[proartek]

This is one of the most incredible musicians I have heard. She is such an inspiration, her voice beautiful. Hear her on KLove all the time. And, yes, Simon deserved what he got from Paula. Shame on him for being rude, insensitive, and an ass.

[proartek]

This is one of the most incredible musicians I have heard. She is such an inspiration, her voice beautiful. Hear her on KLove all the time.

[lioxz]

this is why we love simon : D

[TheSmartdreamer]

push 6 and you will see paula try to rap

[energizer61bunny]

Simon over does it sometimes.I think when he has nothing bad to say about someone's voice it scares him and he has to start making comments their appearance or something

[maybe1princess]

I think Simon left because nobody was going to watch the show if he was going to be the only judge originally from the cast

[WithMyAcoustic]

Saw her today at Baylor Univ!

[edithlovee]

@WithMyAcoustic Same here! :)

[christoperfect]

@WithMyAcoustic

Ditto! She was amazing!

[babanna9694]

Simon Is so rude. I really dislike him.

[reziboy100]

@babanna9694 he apologized later and gave her a hug and kiss :D

[sydwee915]

I was there Kiwi too . She rocked. She's an amazing singer and woman. A true woman of God. Beautiful inside and out!!!!

[kiwi1512]

I saw her today at Women of Faith in Hartford! She's amazing!

[lauham20006]

I just saw Mandisa at Women of Faith in St. Paul .. she said she lost 60 pounds and gained it all back, which does not stop a person form being a GREAT singer!! Mandisa is a wonderful person and she has a great sense of humor .. I am glad Paula hit him too!!

[DoubleDBlogXX]

she lost 100 pounds!!

[XxThereIsAGodxX]

Simon is a jerk. Mandisa is GORGEOUS and AMAZING! I wish she could make a recording of this song, her voice just fits!

[kornykorhorn]

Phenominal voice! Truly a gift.

[Pastorskidgirl1010]

Simon is a JERK!!!!!!!

[jbLover9811]

i love how paula attacks him at the end xD

[emmiforgod]

this is a great song! :) i am in LOVE with Mandisa! hodlem! :)

[goldenralph78]

I remember this audition...it was amazing....

what a beautiful and powerful voice she has....

I recall telling myself...God thank you one more time for bestowing me with this kind of gift to my senses...

Mandisa...keep on singing girl!!! higher and higher !

[cdavthekool]

AMEN SANG IT GUURL!

[elphabathropp47]

Why is it that the women on American Idol always get comments about their weight, but the men never do???

[meancreek]

@elphabathropp47 it's the same way in real life....

[mydaddys1]

wonder what simon is thinking now that shes tord with a hit like tobymac and shes a big hit herself simon is such a nerd lol :)

[TheBrightLeader]

not frenshie, shes like france lol

[Brittsaysrawr]

I'm singing the song "not guilty" in gosple chior

[37Davida]

Wow! Mandissa can sing, but Simon's comment about her weight was just plain ol rude, but I have to admit it made me laugh.

[dannyhill1971lives]

randy popped a boner.

[cheekypants321]

She needs to run her ass around the block a few times..

[FutureAgentGirl]

I absolutely love Mandisa's music! she is one of my favorite singers :D

[babeeequeens]

wow great quality video haha and great singer ! :)

[DAVIDUCKFUL]

0:30 !!! haha

[xliveyolifex]

Mandisa why didn't you win American Idol? Don't worry disa! My friends and I LOVE YOUR MUSIC!

[M27D]

bladdy paula with her 'woo' stopped her singing before she needed to. What i did hear was AMAZING!!!!!! - Simons comment about needing a bigger stafe, VERY UNCALLED FOR!!!

[jimbeezy07]

woooow, simon's so insightful and clever, he just always knows exactly what to say to make people feel great about themselves, why is he even a judge here? he should quit this hot-dog stand and make millions by being an inspirational motivational speaker!!

[NICKLIKEYO]

simon is so rude..... he should be honest but he is just plain out rude and cocky.

[peppi311]

Simon can be so terribly mean. Mandisa got a Grammy nomination this year and has lost over 100 lbs. Take that!

[ultramotz08]

"do we have a biggest stage this year?" - hahah... LOL!!

[KULCAT]

she WAS a bomb

[TearsForLosers]

I miss Paula in American Idol, bring her back! :( Now, Simon is also leaving. American Idol will never be the same again..sigh..

[RyanP91]

god bless Simon- yes, what he said was awful- but he is REAL!! and the three of them: Randy, Paula, and Simon... it's perfect chemistry.. whatever American Idol becomes, it will never be the same, as the Original Three

[yannat11]

That was good.

[Boppaloppagus]

"forget french.....shes like---FRANCE!" Bahahahahahahaha

[hughiegrant]

GO PAULA! kill that Big ,old British Fly! LOL :))

[oceancitywrestling]

what an obvious song choice and an ugly face....and why is it wearing a cape?

[Luckyhearts]

unoriginal voice, boring. but awesome comment by Simon. It was a douchy comment, but hilarious

[JTNickelz]

Gotta love the son of a bitch haha

[FID3LCASHFLOW]

SImon is funny as shit.

[yhtomitalmighty]

paula hitting simon is priceless! :))

[mmdillon1]

A voice that transcends the AI competition, the judges are left floundering like dolts as they unexpectedly find themselves in the rare presence of true greatness. As such, Simon often attempts to regain control over that which has soared above his grasp via petty comments or by granting the supreme performer praise in a manner which implies that it's only truth because it was issued by him. But w/o question, witnessing a performance by this astounding phenomenon is truly a thrill without rival.

[moliterni92]

@mmdillon1 wow are you like best friends with her? you are completely exaggerating her talent!!!

[HersheyOreo2009]

@mmdillon1 What the crap??? You make her sound like heaven's gift to singing.

[LimeyFrost]

@HersheyOreo2009 lol that person also wrote something in the frenchie davis audition video xD

[dondarush]

She got her start on American Idol? I didn't know that...that's so cool! Finally, one of these TV-show-crafted stars turned to Christian music instead of that pop trash

[octoberboiy]

@dondarush Ruben Studdard was an American Idol winner one season, and he sings gospel.

[playmymusic96]

simon is a faggot sometimes

[lovingangil]

great voice

[jaytee080379]

SIMON, was bamg out of order on this one.

[jbLover9811]

YAY MANDISA!

[Violingurl2389]

thanks paula <3 you. we need to pray for Simon

[Appleinlove19]

i love mandisa, she's amazing! "She's France" my butt! at least her ego isn't as big as simon's, his takes up all of asia! chuck norris' ego isn't even that big!

[thenewenglandredneck]

@Appleinlove19 Asia plus the rest of Russia that isn't in Asia plus the countries once under the control of Russia when it was part of the Soviet Union.

[Appleinlove19]

@thenewenglandredneck oh my goodness, you are so right :)

[jaytee080379]

@thenewenglandredneck u were very rude. im sho u r jst jealous of her voice.

[thenewenglandredneck]

@jaytee080379 I believe we are at a misunderstanding. Appleinlove19 and I were talking about Simon's ego not Madisa. I [ersonally love Mandisa and would never make fun of her.

[jaytee080379]

@thenewenglandredneck , my apologies for the misunderstanding. and i appriciate u not being nasty abt it. u were the bigger person. thanx

[MikaylaaMadisonn]

I was just wondering, do the judges on The X Factor have as much fun as the judges on American Idol? Are they as fun to watch?

[gokuspr345]

She's allways been my favorite. idky. and simon really can be rude but it was kinda funny.

[bobnichols895]

gabyvalla, I hate that youtube has no plans to allow full tv episodes and movies. I have to head to (stream episodes (DOT) net) to watch tv episodes and movies instead while I would prefer to watch everything on youtube.

American Idol 5 - Mandisa´s Audition

[kyleandjewelshow]

she has a book

[o0ber]

You're moobs are bigger than Mandisa's Simon.

[PeanutPanhead]

she should have won she was WAY better then ANYONE on this season taylor hicks SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! and he was a freak

[LaYassmina]

This guy is SOOO damn hard to please. -_- She should have smacked him harder.

[iPod465]

simon was mean but mandisa was awsome! :D

[Nhantp]

i love how simon is rude sometimes its funny xD

[logicpractitioner]

I'd rather be Mandisa than Simon on judgement day.

[Jaysangel118]

To cheekypants321 if continue to read your Bible u will also see that it says he who is without the sin cast the first stone. You need to becareful when you startcalling out the sins of others. They will soon be pointing yours out to you

[granttyler1]

@OHHYESSAHH

YOU ARE A RUDE ASSHOLE!

[marcellin20]

luv it when Paula smacked the shit outta simon. Reminds when my mum use to do the same to me when I said something rude.

[hamcoming00]

Her voice is glorious!!

[nurseangieh]

Yeah! I love that song! Mandisa is great!!!!

[SuperJesusfreak09]

Thank u Paula Simon needs a smack or two once in a while. Luv ya Mandisa. God bless u all.

[cheekypants321]

Everybody, before you go on about how god made her that way, you should know that it states clearly in the bible that gluttony is a SIN.

[CJ42090]

Loved it when Paula smacked Simon.

[TaliBruner]

@CJ42090 GO PAULA!!! Simon needed that!!!

[shaynapulley]

RE: Simon

All I could think was....

"THANK YOU, PAULA!!" - That boy needed a few hard smacks for that one!!!!!!! >:-(

[webkinzpolarbear123]

I love Mandisa's song My Deliverer. And is it me, or dose Simon need more then one smack? He really dosent need to be a jerk.

[dumbsauce777]

simon's been sippin on dat haterade, lol

[noregrets4life]

She's slimed down now.

OMG @ his comment.. just wow........rofl horrible but helarious.

[bubuchops]

Simon can be VERY rude! Mandisa is great, and it's the inside that matters! GO MANDISA!

[TophBeifong2272]

she told him she forgave him and he was absolutely speechless

[bubuchops]

haha, I like that she said that! :) Go Mandisa!! lol

[christianwackjob]

She's fat inside too.

[Vook]

Once in a while Simon forgets the difference between being unavoidably honest and being just unnecessarily rude.

[violet92rose]

how can someone be so rude, he isnt perfect and has no right to recognize other peoples problems- its not just Mandisa he does this with

[TARGETQUEEN]

@restless1999 Exactly my thoughts! Mandisa should have won!!!

[mmyerspa]

Mandisa rocks!!! Go with the one name, girl!!!

[brotallman]

well, anyway, she got the last word over Simon....look where she is now...

[xlefreakcestchic]

She said "She's got a Frenchie power" referring to Frenchie Davis, who auditioned in an earlier season. And who's voice absolutely stunned the judges.

[rideemerica07]

LMAO!

thank you simon for making my day

[Sixflags003]

Even though he was being a $%^&* that joke was funny. 'She's not french shes France"

[NewMoonIsCalling]

Thank you Paula for hitting him :P

[kenneyut]

@NewMoonIsCalling

I totally agree with you and like Vook stated, it is a difference between giving constructive criticism and being a total butt hole hurting peoples feelings...One thing I learned about people like him is that they are very good at dishing it out but horrible at taking it....I remember one Idol putting him in his place and he did not respond too well to it....

[jasdeviel]

@NewMoonIsCalling I wish she had gotten him in the face with a sucker punch instead >_<

[ca1121]

Wow asshole.

[MusicallyUbiquitous]

I always thought she was a bitch.

[blanketjacksonluver]

simon is such a jerk ya she may be big but she dose have fellings. i say the nexst time you talk about some one thinck about what your going to say befor you say somthing.

[bubbleroxme123]

love it! gosh simon is mean...i hope he likes it when i audition...

[BlueEyedDevl]

Simons such a fucking asshole! He was probably having a bad day and took it out on the contestants!

[maybe1princess]

Satan- urh...uhhh..I mean...Simon shouldn't have said that about Mandisa

[katie2291996]

- Grabs a Mandisa excercise video and shoves it in Simon's face -

[oyeababi89]

not to mention his co worker there isnt much skinner!! I love Paula and she did the right thing in hitting him

[oyeababi89]

She is seriulsy a very pretty woman and that was so rude of simon... I wouldn't have apoligized like she did though... OMG no i would've flipped on him

[petlover21]

simon is an ass

[iamjeffreestar]

HAHAHAAH! SiMON!

[MegsDae]

I love her version of Shackles!!!

[dumbdancers]

hehe i know her

[41britt]

It was funny when Puala Slapped Simmon!!!!

[LilMzViet]

II know! lol I miss Paula! Without her the show is not the same.

[cajoby]

I like simon but this time he can go fuck him self

[melbabe333]

Gosh, Simone was so rude. He's a big dick, with a lil' one.

hee ;D

Mandisa was awsome. She's got a heck of a voice.

[polkadoddle]

yea he is hehe nice
