Jordin Sparks

I’m glad that Jordin Sparks’ vocal troubles are behind her and that she’s been back on the Alica Keys tour for a while now.

Her debut CD has already passed the sales of Taylor Hicks on the strength of “Tattoo” and “No Air”. Go Jordin Sparks!

Jordin looks HUGE in that first picture. I thought it was Lakisha.

I think David Archuleta will be more successful than her. (I think.)

Jordin Sparks rocks Miami! Good to know she’s back to work. It will be a nice exposure for her to be the front act of Alicia Keys.

Wow, that top pick doesn’t do the girl any favors. Her legs look enormous. Good for her on the CD sales and the fact her vocal chords were not permanently damaged, she has a nice voice.

Regarding passing Taylor Hicks in sales, consider the fact she has two songs getting radio play – Mr. Hicks never had that type of advantage.

Jordin is definitely a great singer, but David Archuleta and her can’t even be compared. He is absolutely amazing and is definitely going to sell more albums than her, without a doubt.

I swear, those were my thoughts exactly. Note to Jordin, leggings, honey, are a NO-NO….stick with dresses, you look darling in them! P.S, Sorry to sound mean, I think you’re a sweet girl.

Has her album gone platinum yet?

I think (i hope) DA will be more successful too, but I worry about him being marketed wrongly….we’ll have to wait and see.

Jordin has always looked a lot older than her age, hasn’t she? I agree she looks better in knee-length dresses. She looked great at the season 7 finale of AI.

I’m watching Alicia Keys & Jordin in concert in June! I’ve always been a big fan of Alicia’s, so I can’t wait!

Wow! Jordin looks huge! When you consider she was the same age as David when she won, and if you look at the two of them now, it’s unreal to think she’s 18 compared to Archie’s 17!

I know that everyone keeps thinking Archie looks young, but is it that he actually is normal sized and it’s everyone else his age who looks “old”? Because, I seriously can’t believe Jordin is only a year older!

I love Jordin….but that look is pretty BAD! And even that golden dress that she wore to the finale made her look really big! 0_0 But go ahead and SANG JORDIN!

hello gorgeous,

I think Archie looks young for his age (about 14/15), but many around him look much older than their age. Cook looks like he’s in his late 20s, M. Johns looks like mid-30s, Brooke looks late 20s – mid-30s, Carly looks late 20s – mid-30s.

Jordin to me could pass for mid-30s, especially when her hair was curly. I think her people are trying to make her look more age-appropriate with the clothes, straight hair, etc. That outfit above is doing her no favors though.

Well, I just saw David on Regis and Kelly, and he looks like he’s 17. I did notice his shoulders are getting broader (smile) – how cool to see somebody grow up right on your TV!

Strangely, on the show Archie kept getting younger looking. Now post-Idol, he’s looking like a regular 17 year old again.

Anyway, Jordin DOES NOT look 18. She looks older than Melinda Doolittle even, and she must be 30 now!

I like Jordin, but she needs to DIET, NOW!!!!

She has gained some weight, that’s for sure. I still like her. She’s cute. I agree that Archie and Cookie will sell way more records than she has. I do think she has staying power though. GO JORDIN!!

Oh my gosh, she looks like a baby whale. Of course, her record sales have passed Taylors. His career was seriously mishandled, as was Rubens. You couldn’t even find his CDs in the stores when he was touring. And, I still prefer his music over Jordin Sparks any day of the week.

She’s cute, but I think she’s put on some pounds. Its cool though.

Wow. Um, I am just glad that Jordan’s vocal cords weren’t permanently damaged. It is good to see a beautiful young woman gifted with a lovely voice in healthy form performing on tour with superstar Alicia Keys. This experience/exposure is highly beneficial to her career, not to mention profitable.

True. Jordan’s ‘weight’ will be an issue that she will have to contend with throughout her career. And I sincerely hope that she never battles the eating disorders of anorexia nervosa or bulimia in a quest to chase the supposedly ideal ‘thin’ body. She may never be anywhere near thin. But she can strive for healthiness. I believe that her supporters would be pleased if Jordin maintained a healthy eating regimen & exercised as so many of us should.

As far as album sales are concerned however, that remains to be seen. Anyway, continued success for Jordan! Much success for David A!

Then there is David Cook. Ah, David Cook. Multi-platinum future, for sure!!;)
