Why wasn't this brought up when Reuben Studdard (sp?) won? I smell a double standard here.

This was exactly my thought. I think Jordin looks GREAT. yeah , she is a big girl, but her frame is big, I think she looks healthy and wonderful. And whats wrong with having one normal looking girl out there for others to identify with when the norm is skinny skinny and more skinny for role models. RIDICULOUS!Chat Icon

Re: Is Jordin Sparks too "fat" to be the new American Idol?

she's perfectly proportionate. Her Mom has a big frame, her Dad is a friggen football player - I think the girl is gorgeous, and I'd give up a lot to look like her.

Thats sad if the public thinks this girl is to Fat to be an Idol, please look at Marilyn Monroe, she was no size 2, Sofia Loren was no skinny chick. Our Country has this thing if you look healthy your fat. Well we should be ashamed of ourselves, and when/if she looses wait it will be another news story on "wow she must be anorexic (sp)" SAd, very Sad.

that's sad and pathetic. she's a healthy young girl. and not to be rude, most Americans are overweight anyway...so what are people crying about?




ITA. This is disgusting. We need someone who looks non-anorexic up there to show girls it's ok. Plus, she's certainly not obese, for crying out loud! SHe's a healthy weight.

Jordin is not fat, she is only 17 and still growing so she will probably make a big change by 21 or 25.

Re: Is Jordin Sparks too "fat" to be the new American Idol?

She is a little overweight but nowhere near fat. I only think though she should wear outfits that cover her arms, its more flattering. I agree though its nice to have a celebrity role model who is not a size 0.

Re: Is Jordin Sparks too "fat" to be the new American Idol?

This is why having daughters is a scary proposition today!!!

My almost 10 year old who is very athletic and naturally slim tells me that girls at school (she's in the 4th grade) already are talking about who is thin and who isn't and who should be on a diet. It's seriously scary and it does start even at this age.

Re: Is Jordin Sparks too "fat" to be the new American Idol?

What a horrible message this woman is sending out to young girls. And then we wonder why girls lack self-confidence and never happy with their own bodies. Give me a break lady!

When I see Jordan, I see a talented, beautiful young lady not heart disease and diabetes (that was the woman's comment).

Re: Is Jordin Sparks too "fat" to be the new American Idol?

OMG, is this some sort of SICK JOKE??????

Every night that I'd watch her sing, I'd inwardly think to myself, "MAN, what I wouldn't give to look like that".

By my estimates, she's probably about 5'10"...and what, 185??? Since when is that overweight????

I can't believe they're going to make her lose 40 lbs...that's sending completely the WRONG message to our youth.

Re: Is Jordin Sparks too "fat" to be the new American Idol?

She is a lovely young woman who does not have a weight problem. However, once the industry gets it's hands on her, they will convince her that she needs to lose weight. My guess ... before long she'll be a toothpick.

I also totally agree, double standard BS. Jordin looks like a healthy, pretty, normal teenager!

Just wanted to comment that I don't think she is fat. I did think she was a few pounds overweight but its no big deal.
