Mandisa’s 2005 American Idol audition has resurfaced following the news of her death. In the video, Simon Cowell made several comments about Mandisa’s weight after her audition, asking “Do we have a bigger stage this year?.” After Paula Abdul compared Mandisa to Frenchie Davis, Cowell said a better comparison would be to France. Mandisa later confronted Cowell, telling him she forgave his actions. A statement on her Facebook page on Friday, 19 April, read: “We can confirm that yesterday Mandisa was found in her home deceased. At this time we do not know the cause of death or any further details.”
