Jordin Sparks lives a few blocks from me! (Glendale, Taylor: homes, homeschooling)

[sablebaby]

I didn't know she lives up in north Glendale, but she does. I thought it was cool and thought I'd share.

That is cool! We've been pulling for her since the get-go. I think she's beautiful and I am blown over by how versatile she is.

If she wins she'll be in the Kelly-Carrie camp, not the Fantasia-Ruben-Taylor camp.
She has an amazing career ahead of her.

I caught just a little snippet on the news today. I read somewhere that she was home schooled, but I think they mentioned something about a stop at Sandra Day HS. Maybe she just started the home schooling because of AI?

Anyway, you (and Jordin) must be just over the hill from us then.

Hi nieghbor

I heard that too, but they said that she spent a couple (I am assuming 2) years in Sandra Day HS and then the other being home schooled, so my impression was that it happened before AI.

I thought it should have been the 3 women in the top 3, with Lakeshia losing next week, and Melinda losing to Jordan. IMO Blake can't hold a candle to any of these women LOL

Did you get to see her when she came?

[sablebaby]

I didn't get to see her because I had no idea she lives up here. When I saw it on the news that she was at her old HS Sandra Day O'Conner (which is down the street from me) I realized she lives here. Then I did a little search to see where she lives and sure enough they are about a mile from me or less. For some reason I thought she lived closer to downtown Glendale.

I'm not clear on when she started homeschooling, but you do a search on more info on her it lists a ton of things she has done so far. I didn't know she already recorded a 5 track cd, was a winner on Most Talented Kids, did something on Star Search, a winner for Torrid as a model, and the list goes on. They have been working on her career for a long time.

Hey, I like Blake. I think he's the only true original artist on that show. I dont think his voice is completely awesome, but hes cool.

I remember hearing that Jordan Sparks lives in AZ, I didnt know it was Glendale though.

I lived in the same town as Gina Glocksen, does that count for anything? LOL

LOL, yeah thats till counts

I like Blake also and yes he is a real artist. I would go to see him, he's very entertaining. You never know what he'll do next.

Jordin is okay - but Blake that is different - and I miss Gina
I would like to see Blake Lewis win - I think he would be a great representative to the kids - and Jordin is just the same -o same-o
