I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...This is a woman who went for her dreams despite her age and the hardships in American Idol and Jive (or any music business for that matter). She has such an amazing gift given to her and she was not shy to let others know. She wanted to show people her gift and to inspire future singers to do the same. Moreover, she inspired me. I am a musician (violin) and she has encouraged me to sing. Because of her, I will try out for a choir in college and see where it takes me. Thank you Jordin for your inspiration. You will always and forever be MY American Idol
