cousin it strikes again


Time to address most recent hubbub over Jordin Sparks. On Wednesday night's elimination show, as Chris Richardson was giving his farewell performance, the camera zoomed in on a very bored-looking Jordin Sparks. Then, upon noticing the camera was on her, Jordin immediately feigned tears.

Now a bunch of people think she's fake.

Amid all the buzz about Melinda and LaKisha's blandness, I think some issues surrounding Jordin's personality have gone unnoticed. I see her having tremendous diva potential, and -- as illustrated by Wednesday night's behavior -- her youth makes her slightly unprepared to deal with fame.

Particularly in recent weeks, I think Jordin's praise has been exaggerated. I don't like her outfits, I don't think there's anything especially unique about her voice and I don't think she even put forth half an effort on rock week.

What annoys me most is that Melinda, LaKisha and Jordin all offer the same thing to the music industry. Which is why, until further notice, you can officially call me a Blaker Girl.

If those are the reasons you've become a Blaker girl...well then, you do not appreciate Blake enough! He's a very talented young man. As far as Jordin faking tears....are you kidding? Don't you know sheer exhaustion when you see it? What showed in the face of Melinda could have been misconstrued as boredom as well. All the contestants are emotionally and physically exhausted at this point...Jordin has just experienced two deaths in her family. You have no idea what these kids have gone through. But more to the point, the girls were reflecting upon the fact that two of their very close friends were going to be sent home that evening, which was more than enough reason for each of them shed a tear. Name calling is really not called for under any circumstances, but your comments were unkind enough to make me say something....
