She went on to become the praise and worship leader within the church. Before auditioning for the show, Johnson was a performer, producer, and singer-songwriter. Johnson, whom had three children at the time, was motivated to audition for the show by her children to give them a better life. Johnson had gone through her second divorce as was having a tough time staying financially sound. The day before she left Orlando to try out in New Orleans she lost her house to foreclosure. Her friends and family helped her get to the audition, and Johnson carried what she could and auditioned in flip flops, socks, and the clothes she had on her back. Johnson was almost eliminated because her appearance was not up to par, a sentiment expressed by two of the judges Mary Mary, especially Erica Campbell, however after performing "This is the day The Lord Hath made," she was unanimously voted through, and given a standing ovation by Campbell. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Le'Andria Johnson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
