BEAUTY, was nominated for a GRAMMY® and was the best-selling new artist debut
ever for her label, Sparrow Records (EMI Music), has lost an incredible 75 lbs and
everyone’s talking about it, including CNN online, whose feature has only been up today
and already received over 800k page views in just the first four hours, making it one of
the Top 5 read stories on the news giant’s website. PEOPLE magazine also profiled
Mandisa in an exclusive online feature last week, which both USA TODAY
