Jordan Moreau Mandisa, the Grammy-winning Christian singer who began her career on “American Idol,” was found dead in her Nashville home on Thursday. She was 47. “We can confirm that yesterday Mandisa was found in her home deceased,” her representative confirmed to local outlet The Tennessean.
“At this time we do not know the cause of death or any further details. We ask for your prayers for her family and close-knit circle of friends during this incredibly difficult time.” The Christian radio network K-Love also honored the gospel and contemporary Christian singer. “Mandisa loved Jesus, and she used her unusually extensive platform to talk about Him at every turn,” wrote David Pierce, chief media officer of K-Love.

While we are saddened, Mandisa is home. We’re praying for Mandisa’s family and friends and ask you to join us.” Born Mandisa Lynn Hundley, the singer auditioned for Season 5 of “American Idol” in 2005 and became a favorite on the show when it aired a year later. She advanced to the top nine contestants before being eliminated.
During her run, she sang hits like “I’m Every Woman,” “I Don’t Hurt Anymore,” “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing,” “Any Man of Mine,” “Shackles (Praise You)” and more.
