American Idol Finalist Mandisa Signs with Sparrow Records.

Jason Bean — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:26:37 +0000

Mandisa from American Idol Season 5 just signed a record deal with Sparrow Records.

Mandisa said one of the greatest experiences of her time on American Idol was when she publicly forgave Simon for the comments he made about her and her weight. She said it humbled Simon and made the news and she could have left American Idol at that time and been happy.

You can go to the Hear It First website and see an exclusive video of Mandisa talking about her faith and experience on American Idol this past season.

Free Music – “A Beautiful Collision” by David Crowder Band

Jason Bean — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:10:13 +0000

The free music download for this week at Hear It First is “A Beautiful Collision” by the David Crowder Band. This is a really great song and I like the following verse:

So courageous until now
Fumbling and scared
So afraid You’ll find me out,
Alone here with my doubt

Here it comes, a beautiful collision
Is happening now.
There seems no end to where You begin and there I am now
You and I collide

The song has a really interesting sound to it, there’s a little bit of banjo that sounds really good. Our praise band at church has a banjo player for some of our songs and it adds a nice filling sound to the worship songs when he’s there. You’d never know I’m from Kentucky would you? I’m not a big fan of country music though, I like music and I like the sound of the banjo most of the time.

Hear It First has a contest going on right now where you can read a David Crowder autographed book and CD.
