Jordin Sparks Old Vocal Coach Is Talking
May 30, 2007
Here’s a pic of American Idol winner Jordin Sparks during a visit to the Live With Regis and Kelly show Tuesday in New York. She looks like she has already lost some weight. All that promoting and no sleep will do that to ya. She has told us over and over that she never had any vocal training and that her voice is “a gift from God” Well her vocal coach Melissa Black is talking.
Jordin was just 14 years old when she studied with me in 2004,” vocal coach Melissa Black told Star magazine. “Her mom, Jodi Sparks, and her grandmother, Pam Wiedmann — who acts as her manager — found me on the Internet. We were together for nine months of intense vocal work, with Jordin taking one 30-minute class a week at $25 per class … I knew she wouldn’t take long to perfect her craft because she was so good.”
Black says they haven’t spoken since Sparks stopped taking the classes, and she said mostly good things about her alleged former student. Nevertheless, Black admits, she was “hurt for a week” when the “Idol” winner said that she hadn’t had any formal training. “Jordin didn’t have to mention my name, but at least acknowledge you had training,” she told the tab. “But I’ve moved on, and I hold my head up high.”

whatEVER! Lay off. She is a public figure, but she’s also a person. She has achieved so much for her age and deserves respect, not derogatory criticism. She had vocal training for a matter of months. She probably had six lessons. That doesn’t even count. She has an amazing talent which is a gift from God, even if it was honed with a couple of lessons. Who cares about the status of her weight? What matters is that she is an inspiration and is living her dream with dignity. Would you rather her be skinny and acting like some of these people on the forefront of stardom who, in my opinion, have absolutely no talent and don’t deserve success?

I hav 2 agree with Deb, she’s gunna dissapear. Her voice isn’t anything special. And for the record, Katie, having six leesons, is still having lessons. She told everyone that she had never had vocal lessons, but she did. No matter what, 6 is a number, so it counts!
