Uh oh, Jordin was caught on camera making an ugly
face again. Amazing how in a mere matter of seconds her
cheshire cat grin magically reappeared. Very well coached.

She may just be the most "Idol Trained" contestant ever, which is saying a lot, and that could be a lot of what you all are seeing.

With all that training and experience up to 2005, you have perhaps the one with the most stage presence ever, at least for someone this young. She had met the judges in a meet-and-greet type of thing prior to the competition. Maybe that's the thing that keeps rubbing off on people: like many of the child-stars on Disney, she was pimped out as a child to this kind of environment...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this.

You've made my point. At 17, and with a 'resume' like this...it just doesn't sit right with me for a competition like Idol.

Can you say 'stage mom and dad'?

At 17, she should be more interested in learning to drive, getting her first kiss, finishing high school, etc.

Something just hasn't set right with me since her audition. She's got the talent...its just HER that doesn't sit right with me. I know i have a hard time putting it into words, and for that I apologize.

Say wha?! Was that a test to see if we'd read the whole thing?

IF you read the whole thing then it must have worked
I can't read that much, she gonna have to either put pictures in it, or come out with the movie lol

I think Jordan may be the one to win. I lvoe her voice. She usually does a great job whatever song she chooses.
That's just me tho.

I think to make the final, she will have to show that she is head and shoulders more talented and Charismatic than Blake. I'm not sure she can do that.....but I'll be sure and check the archives...(just kidding)

I know everything, except the things I don't know

So I posted a few weeks ago that I thought Jordin will win and I gotta say, I HOPE I'm right.
Blake is OK, but just doesn't have the vocals that Jordin has. What a voice on that girl!
She just seems sorta sweet & innocent now (like I remember Carrie Underwood). I just hope the 'business' doesn't get the best of any of them.

GO JORDIN!

Agman Special

Melinda was consistently better than Jordin, but has had far more professional singing experience. While her performances on Idol Gives Back and Bon Jovi Night were overdone and shrieky, Jordin proved herself, on Country Night, far more capable of great singing than Blake.

Hi YankeeDD,
I don't know what a lot of peeps have against Jordin. yes, she's young, but what's wrong with that? She'll learn the "performance" part of the business as she gets into it.

As for Blake? To me, he just had a few too many quirky habits. Like it looked strange to me the way he was always looking over his right shoulder. Guess he was "looking" at the band, but it was odd to me. He'll prolly still do well tho.
