ABC's Good Morning America broadcast the exclusive first television interview with Mandisa; talking candidly about a difficult time she faced when a dear friend was lost to cancer - and how that event shook the singer's faith.  

Watch the interview.... 

After spending much of the past few years struggling with depression, Mandisa, who has proven to be one of American Idol's most successful alums as a Top 5 Idol with the most No. 1s, is ready to talk about her journey with transparency and vulnerability ahead of the release of her newest album, Out Of The Dark, out May 19.

During this dark time in her life, it wasn’t until close friends planned an intervention for her at a movie theater; waiting over 4 hours to talk with her and reason with her to get the help she needed.

In the interview, she recalls, “I came out of the movie theater, this was after years of me being in that dark place and ignoring everybody, and I noticed that my car had a bunch of sticky notes all over it.  As I got closer to it I realized that those notes said things like, ‘We love you. Come back to us. We miss you.’ And then as I got closer to my car, a group of my friends, who I had shut out, they were there.

“And they had been waiting at that movie theater as I sat there and watched two movies, not just one, they waited there for over four hours for me. And they pretty much had an intervention and they said, ‘We love you just as you are but we love you too much to leave you that way.’”
