oreo 1 Posted April 6, 2006 O.K. so I'm an American Idol fan. Last night Mandisa, a very heavy woman was voted off. She's an excellent singer, a beautiful woman, but she's fat. On Tuesday night she wore an especially unflattering outfit which I believe made her look heavier than ever. While Ruben was called, "The Velvet Teddy Bear, " because of his weight, Mandisa was considered just plain fat. It's not fair, but it's fact. Men can get away with being heavy much better than women. I hope that Mandisa loses weight and becomes a successful performer. All of us who are post surgical know the rewards of losing weight. Oreo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulax 8 Posted April 6, 2006 OMG, I know what you are talking about. I haven't been an avid watcher, but I thought those 3 were safe. Manidsa is one incredibly beautiful woman, holyyyyyy! I hope she makes it anyway, in spite of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piperbaby 0 Posted April 6, 2006 I dont think that she was voted off because she was fat. She did not do a great job with that Shania Twain song on Tuesday. The week before she sang a churchy/gospel type song which could have lost her a lot of votes. I am sure she will go on to be sucessful she is very talented and beautiful.

Tricia K. 0 Posted April 7, 2006 I agree with piper. Mandisa is extremely talented and I don't believe her weight had anything to do with why she was voted off. I firmly believe that her choice of songs this and last week is what sealed her fate. I don't think this will be the last we've seen or heard of her though.
