American Idol Mandisa Wanna Praise You top 10

[HaleyJadeSings]

Ug! Simon you are a horrible jerk. Gospel music is her style and you dont need to try and change her into some Miley Cyrus freak. Good job Mandisa!!!! I love how you stood up and sang for God!!! <3

[wizardsfanable]

SIMON YOUR A JERK!!!!!!!!

[TheUjay]

Yes, she's on American Idol.. but I don't like the word "Idol" to describe Mandisa as an "Idol". She's there because that the word of Gospel will spread and the Love of God. This video CLEARLY shows how non-Christians, non-believers, and atheist how they show their thoughts, reactions, feelings, etc to God. If you're reading this, please pray for your siblings, parents, friends, cousins, relatives, etc. Because I BELIEVE that ONE DAY THERE WILL BE JUDGEMENT DAY.

[BeckyDellenbaugh]

Saw it the first time you sang it on American Idol and am just as blessed now as then! You go girl; gotta love your boldness for Jesus!

[javdpoll]

SHE IS SO AMAZING! Stronger!!!!!!

[gonyrangers]

Man, JESUS in her life puts her above any winner who chooses not to have JESUS.

[crickett8118]

@gonyrangers  grrrrrrrrrrreat saw you in person dis year Mandisa

[gonyrangers]

@crickett8118 thats nice. :)

[SanaLuvsYou1]

That girls sure is brave!!! love it:)

She standed up for what she believed..and eww, simon ticks me off!! of course, he would be the one to not like it...grr, but great job to her:)

[only4listening2music]

Wow, I have so much respect for her! I am a freshman and a christian, and this makes me smile!!!!!! <3 I don't know if I could have the guts to do a Christian song for them... wow!

[bazzingaification]

i have a lot of respect for her for going on this show and standing up for her beliefs the comments from simon however i have no respect for....

[g04mez]

They didn't get it because they don't have the Holly Spirit!!! I love the song!! You sing so beautiful and the most important thing is that you did it for God!!!

[AmericanIdolz2011]

Did anyone notice Taylor Hicks' number on the bottom of the screen?

[7xrepiv]

Simon is a moron, whats their not to get. If he can understand the words sang in that song then you must be pretty stupid, and since when was american idol about the words in the song. Its about their talent and the voice they have. Simon is the worst judge. All he knows to say is no.

[96chysayz]

she was the best :)

[girl41192]

Simon is a douche.

[imeneznano]

The judges are blind, that's why they don't get it. They are afraid to the world. They prefer please the world more than please God. The Lord says "From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. " Mat 11:12 GOD BLESS YOU MANDISA!!!

You are a brave girl, who is not ashamed of OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!!!

[ItsAMomThing06]

I wonder if Simon is a Christian after hearing his reaction to the song. She did exactly what Jesus was hurt for, professing her love for our Lord...which was awesome! Great job Mandisa!

[ladytec40]

great comments in here we all standing in our faith in Christ Jesus touching and agreeing Mandisa is a winner regardless, less she did her part in what God wanting her to do (WITNESS!!!) and she did exact that in front of the non-believers especially the judges, which did a poor judgement, but their day of Judgement is coming for them before the Great Holy Throne of God

[davidjkus]

Simon doesnt get anything Christian... but he will one day... :)

[jdawg10yayuuh]

I like when Paula said theres a new religion and people joined the church of mandisa she shook here head. Knowing that song was to glorify God not herself

[Alfredoo18]

Stupid English girl, he doesn't know the GODS power!!! He place is in supid little England, where is narrow roads and no saparate houses...

[EmzChica15]

God bless her! I love this song, and she is amazing for believing in Christ!

[hsmsk8er]

That.was.awesome. 

[okebaram]

Wow! I am so disappointed in this pagan world. What was that from the judges? Really? Are they there to judge the music and talent or to indulge in their hatred for Christ? She chose a great, modern song, with a great message, a great beat everything, and sang the mess out of it with unbelievable vocals; and they are mad just cause it's a gospel song? They are not even subtle!

[mooreg4life]

you know why they didnt ge tit cause they dont have God's power in them that had so much personality in it, it had a message and thats music go Mandisa

[pinkstangcloud]

I would hate to see the path she would have went down if she won.she is doing AMAZING with out winning a rigged show. I just got back from Ocala FL where she performed and it was amazing Luv ya girl keep praising him

[alias91919]

so brave for standing up for what you believe. thank you for standing up for God on NATIONAL TV !!! God Bless You.

[TheJesusfreakmusic]

sombody else won...so what. Mandisa got to sing with Tobymac on Lose My Soul.

SHE WON.

[jessgirl51595]

ehh, simons not even on the show anymore....forget him! If he didn't get blessed from that awesome performance, idk what will.

[bowiehs]

keeps singing for Jesus!

[Megsgirl247]

AMEN!!!

[OklahomaRamona]

The judges are dense. Hard to believe they don't "get it". Let's see them get up there in front of all those people and stand up for what they believe in. I bet neither of them has the guts or character to do it. Pray for the judges that they get the ability in their brains to "get it" before it's too late for them.

[emilychrissy143]

hey all you bozos out there who do not believe in god for example simon cowell you sir have no idea what you are talking about. god can do anything mandisa you were awesome sont let ppl get to you. keeep believeing mandisa.whoa you go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!1

[alexjason22]

i salute you mandisa! let us all Christians stand for the glory of Jesus Christ! i'm not ashamed of the gospel, Lord!!

[iluvsesshomaru09]

I'd be like, you are the worst example for all the kids watching this show.  You talk crap about ppl after they have done their best to sing for you, and you try to throw down Christians. American Idol should fire you for misconduct!

[MistressPoettax96]

INDULEGENT?

SI

YOU..

WHAT????

[MistressPoettax96]

Wooo!

[bshryackco]

I didn't watch American Idol that year, but I sure wish I did. You are AWESOME Mandisa! I am so proud of you for promoting our God and not buckling under the pressure! Not many people would have been that brave, so that shows your faith! I saw you perform at Women of Faith and you were fabulous!!! P.S. - I'm still praying for Simon Cowell! He was awful to you and you handled it so gracefully!  God is proud of you I'm sure!

[202cardline]

I don't watch American Idol - but from what I gather, this contest is obviously not about having the winning stage presence, or voice.

I personally found these judges horrible. ='D Could they be any more obvious?

Also, what church does she go to. ಠ_ಠ I would go to a church if they sang like that.

[wicaco]

Is she saying, "are you free to die?" O_O

Easy there, crazy! Girl sounds likes the fundamentalist Christian version of a suicide bomber.

[alexjason22]

@wicaco what? she said, "this song goes down to everybody that wants to be free. your addiction, lifestyle and situation maybe big but GOD is bigger." Thank you mandisa for standing for your faith! all the glory to the Lord!!!

[notesfromheaven03]

Im So Glaad & Proud That She Sanq This Sonq (: .

[GodIsLove2013]

God bless mandisa!! =D

[Stvnkid92jesus]

I love how she is so bold in this. Wow. I love this woman and I applaud her for singing this song on American Idol. Regardless of what the judges had said, look how good she is doing. Go Mandisa! If more singers were like her, this world of music would be much better than what it is.

[jesuslover4ever13]

There is a reason there are 0 dislikes for this song! God blesses those who stand up for Truth and stand up for Him! I love how she shook her head when the judges said the "Church of Mandisa." All the glory to the King and that is what she is giving Him!

[lilogoodboi]

its sad that the judges don't see the Truth that Mandisa is proclaiming!!!

[lmpie94]

that must have bugged her how they called her the "church of mandisa" and coming to worship her. i dont think that is what she wanted at all. but shes a great testimony, and getting in the top ten is an incredible achievement. it was just God's will that she got as far as she did. praise God!

[wicaco]

@lmpie94 It very obviously bugged her, and I love Paula for doing that!

[amojzis]

You go girl!

[codywilliams722]

this song is so moving praise Jesus!

[horsegirl403]

I want to be bold in my faith like that women right there! A wonderful role model

[GC2013]

This song sent her home...how sad...

[Brightstar27]

Those silly judges judges her based on philosphical and not musical criticism. How unprofessional and useless.

[extrememakeoverfan]

I think it's HELLA cool that she sung this cause I love to listen to Christian songs, and this is one of them. I can see where it wouldn't fit with this show, but I loved it nonetheless.

[SugarRose25]

She wasn't going to get far with the judges on a Christian song praising the Lord. It was wrong what Paula said. Of course it's not for them. Mandisa, treasure in heaven girl + a record deal...right?

[praisinghim77]

We all know why they didn't get it!!!! Yay Mandisa, Jesus was pleased.

[praisinghim77]

We all know why the didn't get it!!!! Yay Mandisa, Jesus was pleased.

[zachxgoesxrawr]

"The song choices tonight...I just don't quite get it."

"I just didn't get that. Not for me."

I get it. And it is for me. Mandisa is a shining example.

[boredood]

Thank God we have bold Christians in the world. :)

[mvalliere5]

she should have made it farther than Kellie Pickler, Ace Young, and Bucky Covington

[8706EJ]

aint simon an atheist? of course he not go understand the song.

[123JBrox]

OMG!!! i luv your songs! i use listen to them when i was 7, and now, your coming to my church!!! i'm so happy, i wanna be front row, but tix are almost sold out. anyway, i cant wait to see you at my church and sing the love for god.

[TobyMac1213]

YOU GO, MANDISA!!!!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE!!!! I feel sorry for her, because the judges didn't like it, only because it was a Christian song. But hey, Mandisa rocked it, and she showed the whole world how much she loves God! And that's ALL that matters!

[cheriverge]

she can saang

[hezal88]

Mandisa rocks!!! Fantastic, she's got a so strong voice!

[Livin4God93]

Haha the judges and Ryan's response was quite pathetic! She came out singing a song that she loved and it was about her faith in God and they acted like "Why would you pick that song?"

Like how many songs have been sung glorifying sex or any other sins and Mandisa chose a song glorifying Jesus and they find that weird? I love Mandisa so much and am so glad she stuck with Christian music cause I love worshiping to her songs =)

[CarissaJoy4580]

So proud of her! I still admire her for this performance and her legacy on American Idol.

[brucetheholyroller17]

that took alot of guts to sing a gospel song on american idol!

[Ianeka18]

I think the judges response are funny: they didn't get it at all! I guess they still have their shackles on :) I also loved Mandisa's response at 2:18 after Paula said that Mandisa was a new religion. She knows theres only one God worth praising, and she's still praising Him today!

[777Godisgood777]

GOD Bless you Mandisa! Show this world that Jesus Christ is the most high! Simon's statement shows that his demons are clearly scared of the name of Jesus. But every knee will bow and every tongue will confess in the sight of the Lord on Judgement day!

[YepThatWhatiSaid]

Girl im so proud of you standing up for what you belive in God Bless

[torechick6666]

@YepThatWhatiSaid Agreed. I think she's bigger then the winner this season.

[wicaco]

@torechick6666 Oh, she's definately "bigger". LOL

[ltbubbles123]

@YepThatWhatiSaid Dude for real. I thinks that is the only Christian song ever been sung on AI.
