No, I am not watching the show (don’t watch much TV ~ really), but I got a message in my inbox today. I am a huge Travis Cottrell fan. Travis and his praise team usually travel with Beth Moore. They are the best worship team I have ever heard live – they just draw you in – even if you don’t know the songs.
Anyway, because I don’t watch American Idol, I didn’t know that one of the gals from the praise team is currently on the show. She has a tremendous voice. If you watch the show, look for Mandisa (and maybe vote for her :grin:, only if you like her though)…I do hope she wins, because she is a woman of God and the entertainment industry sure is in need of more Godly women…
Hullo!
Do you have your email address linked on your blog anywhere? I’ve been trying to contact you with a submission for the CoB, but can’t find a way to email you.
Thanks.
Ugh! Never mind! I found it (just wasn’t looking hard enough I guess).
You’ll be hearing from me soon.
Mandisa is one of my bets on the show. She’s really wonderful to watch and listen to!
I’m feeling much better today, thanks for visiting and commenting last week. i have a happier post up today 🙂
She is a wonderful singer, but even more importantly she already showed Simon a bit of God’s forgiveness. He made a comment about her weight and the following week she told him she forgave him even though he didn’t apologize. She said if Jesus Christ could forgive her, she could forgive him. It was even more beautiful than her voice.
Thanks Autumn for stopping by – looking forward to your entry…
Chrixean, I am so glad that you are feeling a little better…off to your blog in a minute – check yesterday, but didn’t see a post…
Lauren – that is wonderful to hear. She really has a great voice – even ‘live’. What a gift God has given her. If you read Travis’ web-site – they are full behind her and flying out to the show this week…maybe I need to tune in and just support her that way.
Well, I have been watching and knew she looked VERY FAMILIAR!!! That is where I have seen her and she sings like an ANGEL!!!!! I will CONTINUE to vote for her… 😉
I am a Travis Cotrell fan, too.
Thanks for that info, I didn’t know.
I’ve been an American Idol fan for a few years now, but I rarely watch TV. This particular show is a wholesome alternative to much of the ‘stuff’ that’s out there, that’s for sure. I love watching each performer grow in their talent over the weeks and share in their excitement when they’ve done well. Mandisa has a powerful voice, and I knew she must be a believer when she told Simon that (he has ridiculed her weight during the try-outs) that she forgave him just like Jesus forgave her…wow, those words of hers had a huge impact, and Simon responded kindly and hugged her, asking forgiveness, if I remember correctly. Isn’t something like that wonderful to witness on worldwide TV??
Thank you for your support on this young lady. Now I just have to find out when the show airs in AZ *grin*
Mandisa has been one of my favorites from the beginning!!
