Absolutely. I knew from the outset Mandisa didn't have a hope of winning because of her weight. Our society is not very tolerant of truly obese people, but especially of such women. But Mandisa has much to recommend her.

Uh, can you say Reuben Studdard?
Mandisa went a long way, though. She breezed through the semi-finals without a worry. And I admire how she didn't let her weight slow her down, regardless of what people thought--she was even shaking her hips tonight during her farewell song. She was glowing! :)
