American Idol paid tribute to season 5 alum Mandisa on Monday, April 29, following her death at the age of 47.
Danny meanwhile, said Mandisa was a true 'cheerleader' of other people's music, noting that she was someone to lean on when he was dropped by his label — and subsequently picked up by another — years prior. 'It just felt amazing and she was always that person,' she gushed of the musician. “Mandisa loved Jesus, and she used her unusually extensive platform to talk about Him at every turn,” he said on April 19. “Her kindness was epic, her smile electric, her voice massive, but it was no match for the size of her heart.”
Before her death, Mandisa was candid about her ups and downs, revealing in 2017 that her friends intervened during a dark period in her life.
