The Big Picture Mandisa, the American Idol star from back in 2005, passed away at the age of 47. Starring in Season 5 of the series, Mandisa was in the top 10 along with musicians like Katherine McPhee and Kellie Pickler and that year’s winner, Taylor Hicks. Singing songs like “I’m Every Woman,” Mandisa captured the hearts of America before going on to release music all her own with her album True Beauty.
She received Grammy nominations for her work and even wrote a memoir in 2022 titled Out of the Dark: My Journey Through the Shadows to Find God’s Joy that highlighted the darker parts of fame and losing her friend to cancer. She was open and honest about her thoughts about her own body, weight gain, and shared with the world that her friends saved her from attempting to take her own life.
