Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Watched over by 30 million viewers weekly, Mandisa catapulted into instant fame with her winning smile and powerhouse vocals as she sang her way into the final rounds of American Idol: Season 5. The critics agreed: Entertainment Weekly chimed in with praise ("It's all about Mandisa!"), claiming Mandisa turned American Idol into a one-woman show. Her debut single "Only The World" is exploding on Christian radio and debuted at #19 in 2 weeks.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 16 of 18 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, August 1, 2007 By  Raven (California) - See all my reviews I love this CD. Many of the songs (God Speaking, Voice of a Savior, Love Somebody besides her first two singles) I loved from the first time I heard it. Some of the other songs I got to like after hearing them second time or so. People who are putting her down because its a Christian cd is unfair. Fine you don't like Christian music thats your opinion and Mandisa wanted to sing Christian thats what she wants. I loved her on Idol. But at least by NOT winning she can make the kind of music she wants. Go Mandisa! 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Great first CD, July 31, 2007 By  Lynn M. Hartsough - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Mandisa delivers a CD that did not disappoint. I love that fact that there are lots of styles of music on this CD. She delivers songs that are pop in their stlying such as "Only the World", "True Beauty" and "Steal My Joy". She then teams up with Toby Mac on "Love Somebody" for a fun hip-hop sound. She also does a fun dance song in "Shackles" and a great rendition of "Oh my Lord" which is more gospel in its styling. My favorite songs are the ballads like "God Speaking" and "He will Come", but the entire CD is one I know will gets lots of play in my house. It is rare that I find a CD that my entire family loves, but this one got rave reviews from all members of my family. It is a wonderfully encouraging CD and she allows us to see her struggles and where she turns for help with her struggles and that alone makes it a CD that many will connect with. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE HER, August 2, 2007 By  E. Fresolone - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I LOVED Mendisa on Idol. I'm very happy that she has put out a CD. I'm not a christian music lover, but this is who she. And thankfully she is able to do what she wants, not what she is told to do by corporate America. GOOD FOR YOU, Mandisa. I look forward to a non-christian album.
