A Tribute To Mandisa by Danny Gokey, Melinda Doolittle and Colton Dixon - American Idol 2024 

That is what Mandisa was about praising the good Lord and gracious and greatful. So thrilled to see Idol pay tribute to such a wonderful inspiring soul. RIP ❤

AMEN!!

I know that they meant no harm, but I do wonder what JESUS thinks about this. In any case, thank GOD for His Grace.🙏🏽💜🕊️

​@@joiisler8986 Honoring and worshiping Jesus as a way to honor the legacy of a believer is the ultimate way to honor their life. Mandisa made it known that any platform she had was to only and always shine light to Jesus. I wouldn't expect anything else from friends that are fellow believers!

Amen!❤

AMEN! My thoughts exactly!!!

YESSSSSSSSS❤❤❤❤❤

They could have done better by allowing them to actually sing one of her songs. Most of the audience is not familiar with her own songs, I feel this was a missed opportunity...

Blessings Everyone❤️😊♥️🙏♥️

I hope Simon watched

Yes ,most Definitely

Amen and yes ma'am I just wish we could have got in there because she was crying out in her own way. Seeking the light of God from a chiropractor with colored glasses was a sign something was off. I am not talking about not seeing God in everything, I am talking about her search and cry and confirmation she was looking for! We must be careful to reach out before it gets too far along this path. Just because she had that big voice and praise didn't mean she did need help, too. I hope she dancing now in the Lord's presence knowing that He loves you so. I also pray a friend or family member adopts your cat. Amen! Thank you for your beautiful light and praise. Ww and I will miss you and your light because you didn't hide it or put it underneath the table. Amen God bless 🙌 your friends and family.

I was really expecting more than just one song tbh.

But that isn't Mandisa's song. That is a Mary Mary song😮😮😮

@@gwenwilliams3673 it's a song Mandisa sang when she was on American Idol.

Wow, I remember the criticism she received after this. It was just bizarre. But what a full circle moment that brings glory to God!

So very sad😢

"in the top 10 finishing 9th" The dvmbness of this sentence is 🤦‍♂

I have to be honest and say I heard her rendition of this song and it literally wasn't the best. I think the three people singing this together is really what makes the song

She's not in heaven according to Scriptures. She's in the grave awaiting resurrection according to 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. The dead know nothing according to Ecclesiastes 9:5.

IDOLS? Check yourself!!

@@mpdoriscarExactly right!

​@@mpdoriscar According to the Gospels her soul is in Paradise with Jesus (Luke 23:43). 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 mentions nothing about a grave.

You are right about their bodies...they are still in the grave. But their soul is with the Lord!

Read your Bible!!

Truth! They are so shallow. Surprised me.

@@user-xq9cl3pw4cHow are they shallow?

agree - i was a little disappointed in Danny's response - i was waiting for "she wanted to be remembered as a follower of JESUS!" but...

Amen wooo hooo praise him ✝️🙏

Amen!! I can tell that too…

Read 1 Thess 4;16, 17

Romans 10:6-7

100%

You know she is, she is with Jesus.

@@SarahEA1 Read 1 Thess 4:16, 17

@@johnmould-ys4zy I know what that is.

We don't know that only God Romans 10:6-7

@@ivycolon5170 I can only judge by her fruits of the spirit. She professed that Jesus is Lord and had repented.

True that! She was one of the ones who didn’t win but went on to have a more sensational career than some of the winners🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

Agree!!

I agree. I wish they would have

I agree! Plus, I wish they sang a medley of her songs. Everyone knows Mandisa loved mashing up her songs. 💖

@@encouragement_club I agree 100%..I felt disrespected cuz they just put it in to save face.

@@doodlepops707What denomination teaches this?! 🤔

Paul said it's better for him to leave so HE COULD BE WITH CHRIST. ​@@doodlepops707

@@doodlepops707 Glad you made that point. Many people repeat what they hear, but don't read the bible for themselves to see if it is so.

@@doodlepops707 The Bible says, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. In His presence, to be there with Him. Whether that present is in heaven or another dimension she is with Him! If that's heaven so be it!

@@inspirebymikaeli3502 You haven't read 1 Thessalonians, have you. You just want to remain stubborn and in the dark to fit your misinformed narrative, because it gives you a false sense of security or comfort. Keep your head buried in the sand, it's of no consequence. My God I can't stand cherry pickers!

Same here

Amen!❤

Thank God for Flights

Saw him at winter jam abt 4 years ago

Danny can’t even sing live!! He’s horrible.

@@gasmith7486he has a great range the song just isn’t in his vocal range he’s great

​@gasmith7486 No your wrong! He's also got a great voice! 🔥

2:35 Melinda did that

Same

I don't remember Colton at all

@@gregXxo season 11 with Joshua, Jessica and Phillips

Yes, she's at rest, awaiting the call of Jesus her Lifegiver! We'll see her again when Jesus returns. Matt 27:52

Thank you. I watched Idol alot but not since Randy, Paula, Simon, and Ryan left. I was wondering why they sang Mary Mary's (Erica Campbell & her sister's) song vs. one of Mandisa's song. I do recall Mandisa & Simon having a conversation about her weight & show business. She used tht great smile of hers & told Simon she would be alright (best of my recollection). Thts when I fell in ❤ with her. So sad😥 but Jesus won.

Colton is amazing listen to Miracles and Build a Boat don’t want you to miss the blessing.

He was on season11 on 2012. He was my favorite contestant of all time. Him and Adam Lambert. Check it out.
