I can’t believe that I never shared this video clip before! I was telling someone about my cousin Mandisa, who you may remember from American Idol, and when I directed them to my blog to see her - she wasn’t there! Holy crap! What a colossal fail!
Anyway, Mandisa is a cousin (by marriage obviously), and she is one of the greatest singers alive if you ask me (and a whole lot of other people too). She made it onto American Idol, and came damn close to winning it. In fact, she was robbed! They gave it to that guy from Alabama who thought he was Elvis… pathetic!
Here is Mandisa doing what was arguably one of her most popular song renditions, I’m Every Woman. Enjoy!
By the way, Mandisa has her own Web site, she’s on MySpace, and also a brand new Christmas album out. So you should stop by and pick it up over on Amazon or iTunes if you are a fan of the holiday season. Or, even if you are not.

she is great! what a voice. i never heard her before, as i don’t do TV or american idol, but sure am glad to have heard her. definitely going to check her out on myspace.
OMG, John! She TOTALLY does ROCK ON!!!! She’s awesome! I’m gonna have to show this post to Sammie and I’m sure she’ll remember her - she is a die hard AI fan! She’ll be excited to learn she’s your cousin!
She was one of my three favorites on that season of American Idol. Elliot Yamin was my first fav but Mandisa (or ManDiva as they called her) was right after him. Its just too bad that America wasn’t ready to vote in a plus sized singer.
She was my favorite that year. Loved to see this video again. (What is she doing now?)
