The controversy in question presumably involves the Citrus Heights (California)-based singer Mandisa Lynn Hundley, who was born on October 2, 1976 (this means that she is currently 30 years and 232 days old).

The singer, who prefers to be known only be her first name, stood ninth in the finals of the fifth season of the hit television show entitled American Idol.

Mandisa referred to Beth Moore in her profile on American Idol. She was a backup singer for Ms. Moore. Her reference to Ms. Moore on the show created a stir, which was believed to be the reason for her elimination from American Idol. When Mandisa endorsed Ms. Moore, many people thought it was inappropriate because the latter had done considerable work in ministries which had various groups of people as their members.

All the reality tv shows  create controversy only for TRP  purpose.
