Simons Fullers current project the young and adorable Jordan with one of he past projects. Man lessen your grib on the kid sir she is only 17 or 18 ya know. Kind of funny when “thier” idol did not make aquick million they were on the defensive. Jordan can sing but never wowed me to cookie cutter another young girl that can sing and fits thier ideal profile. I just hope when she is 28 that the sharks do not eat her in the pop world because image is important.

“Simons Fullers current project the young and adorable Jordan with one of he past projects. Man lessen your grib on the kid sir she is only 17 or 18 ya know.”
I think her management is doing a fantastic job - after all, she is the first AI winner to have sung the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. Regarding her CD sales: she has almost sold gold, last week her total CD sales was at 474,000, and she is still in the top 100, at at #53 on the Billboard 200. If she continues to sell at a steady pace, she will reach platinum by this fall.
That above was my opinion ..I heard too many stories of young adults that have gone wrong. I am not into big voices never was except for a few. A business aspect ya kind of see why Jordan is worth hanging on to for awhile just look at Disney big dallors out thier in that market .It catters to the young more which can be mentored and given room to grow.Old fart signing out.
Jordan I really do not get her and never even if she does sells millions. I should of stated how producers reacted to the contestants situation diferently which became more apparant with Jordan nothing to do with her. Yes it is life. Her father was an NFL player and the superbowl was on fox it does help allott like Taylor knowing Mrs.Bushs assistant helped them meet the President. Yes for her hope Jordan does well for her and her fans. The record I do not know any idol just what music I like.
