I'm glad that you have a good sense of humor.I'm 49 and despite Jordin being only 17 she appeals to me more than Blake because of her amazing voice{better than Melinda}.But they're not looking to target people my age but rather the teenage set.Blake has a gimmick and gimmicks sell to that age group.

OH don't be a typical arrogant azz. Jordin is a normal sized girl. Just because she isn't a size 3.

Yeah, that's all you can comprehend...physical appearance! Jordin has a very attractive face, especially when she wears her hair straight and she's far from "chunky"...what she is, and I've commented on it before, is very tall. If she needs to lose a few pounds, she'll have experts to help her...she's 17 for gosh sakes, when she 22 she'll be a babe, guaranteed! And weight didn't stop Rubin...and he was a bit well...big! Ms Franklin has a bit of "Respect" in the industry as do others of her build...your constant "beauty is everything" comments are beyond tiresome.

I'm sure they probably did...for the first time in their lives, they would have had folks advising them on dress etc as well as their singing! Jordin at 17 is, as Buffy said, a "normal" girl figure wise, they can finetune that if it's decided that it would help her image, what she does have is a very pretty face and a great personality...those are much harder to change so she's ahead of the game.

Somer you know whats amazing there was another thread on this board about Mike Vick and what transpired with him and the moronic statements of Clinton Portis and you just pray to g-d that they don't have kids which most probably is wishful thinking,because who knows what kind of values they would instill in them.Then you look at Jordin whose father is Fillippe Sparks (i'm sure i botched the spelling) who was a cornerback for the NY Giants and look at the job he and his wife have done raising her.

Yeah, we hear about the bad, the failures...but in truth...lots of sport stars went on to be excellent parents and citizens, take Calvin Hill for example. I favored Melinda in this competition but I can't help but admire Jordin and I'm sure she will be a star...and remain the young woman she is today, her parents have indeed a lot to be proud of!

Well that's true but Carrie Underwood won and country supposedly has a limited fan base compared to pop (not sure if that's true). Carrie was clearly the best as is Jordin (now that Melinda is gone). Sanjaya had that teenybopper support along with Stern and Votefortheworst yet it wasn't enough to carry him...I think Jordin wins easily!
