A dream come true.


Last year American Idol did something they have never done before, they produced the youngest winner in American Idol history at seventeen years old, her name is Jordin Sparks. Now that the new season is approaching a lot of people thought that she was just another shadow from the American Idol curtain because of the overdue album, but just when you thought she was not going to show she comes with a powerful song titled Tattoo. In American Idol Jordin never once entered the bottom two or three, saying a whole lot to the people who doubted that she would be the next Idol. At seventeen and standing well over her peers, Jordin has the music industry at her feet. Jordin is not only an amazingly powerful singer but she also models for a plus-size women clothing line, Torrid. It seems to me that this plus-size girl is doing more than plus-size things. I watch American Idol religiously and I have to be honest about not liking Jordin at first but I have come to love the youngin' and respect the fact that she is beating the odds by being a plus-size singer and showing everyone that she can do anything she wants. With the powerful and elegant voice to go with her bubbly attitude she can't help but be loved, although she never felt so much love before. Jordin went through the typical weight issue that most people go through. In high school Jordin towered over her classmates and told everyone that she often felt out of place. Even though she was different she had the loving support of a family and friends that stood by her side all the way. All the way through American Idol and still standing by her today. In the final show she was in tears because of the love she was given on stage and by the judges, this was obviously a dream come true for a girl who faced a big obstacle that many people fear to take on. I am very proud of the girl even though I have never met her. I can foresee a lot of great things coming towards this amazingly beautiful singer in the future.

I agree, am sure that this young singer has many other great things headed her way. If she keeps it up like she is doing now she will be extremely famous.
