As requested… here are some new photos of Jordin Sparks on MTV’s TRL the other night.

She’s a very pretty girl and seems to be in good shape. But we have to wonder if she will end up losing weight like some of the other AI contestants and winners? I guess only time will tell…


Wow, she’s a big girl. And could do with losing some weight.
I wouldn’t say she’s in good shape… she has got a pretty face though.
Of course she’s gonna magically slim down– I give her 6 months or less. These heavier “celebs” always start out by saying how content they are with their weight, then crash diet to please the masses.
IMO, she should lose at least 10 pounds– she’s young and her metabolism is not getting any faster.
That’s just her natural body shape. She is naturally big boned & curvy!! I read somewhere that she is 5′10 and wears a size 12.
She is NOT in good shape. She’s very overweight. Look at her thighs. I’m sorry, but she should lose a good 30 lbs. I would say she’s about 160 right now. What do you all think?
i’m guessing she’ll lose some weight, but probably won’t ever be skinny. it doesn’t seem like she would look good if she were very thin
Sure she’s bigger (in the celebrity world, in the real world, she’s average) but she IS in shape. And what I mean by that is, she’s bigger, but she is in no way sloppy or jiggly looking. Get what I’m saying?
Yeh, she said for herself she would never look right wearing less than a size 8. Plus she’s too big boned. It just wouldn’t look right on her frame. I think she is fine the way she is.
I think she’s big in a good way. She looks fit.
She looks good and she looks in shape. Sure, she’s not a size zero but that’s a good thing.
I think if she were to lose a lot of weight she would end up looking very unhealthy. She’s a tall girl, and she looks good with curves. Hopefully she can keep her confidence up and stay proud of herself. Unfortunately being that she’s entering the celebrity realm and only seventeen, I have a feeling she’ll end up losing a lot of weight to be a “star”. And it’s not going to be a good look for her.
i think shes already lost weight since the start of the show.
she looks healthy but abit overweight.
think if she lost about a stone she’d look
alot better- just hope she doesnt become all skinny like the rest of them!
I think lots of men likes women with curves
DREA- She is not VERYYYYY overweight! HA! Aretha Franklin is VERYYYY overweight. She is just a bit chubby. As long as she is living a healthy lifestyle!
At least she is wearing flattering clothes for her body type. I don’t see any fat rolls or love handles anywhere.
And she should only lose if she really truly wants to.
I saw a thing on the news where they interviewed some lady who said this girl should not have won Idol because she’s obese and not a good role model for our children.
She just kept saying that when she looks at Jordin all she sees is heart disease and diabetes.
Oh my god. I was so bothered by it. Seriously, she looks good to me. Maybe she’s a little thicker than she should be to be at her healthiest weight, but making claims that she’s severely overweight it ridiculous. Not to mention the size of her hips has nothing to do with her talent.
Anywho, I hope if she loses weight she does it in a positive way to improve herself and make herself healthier. But i don’t think she looks bad at all, I think she looks radiant and she certainly doesn’t look sloppy and out of shape, let alone obese.
Drea- sure she’s not skinny, but she looks toned for the most part. Not every one has to be abtastic.
And if she was 5′10 and 160, she definitely shouldn’t lose any weight. Her BMI would be very healthy.
What do you look like by the way?
She’s really err…. BIG. I remember seeing the three finalists on the cover of t.v. guide (i think?) and she was standing in the middle… lets just say the other two only had enough room for half of their bodies to be printed on the cover. She took up ALL the space.
she is quite tall lucky girl
i sadly think she will end up dieting to fit in, but unlike the lindsay lohans, rhianna’shilary duffs of the music world she may not have the perfect body but she can sing
Guys, get off it. You have no idea whether or not she’s in good shape unless you give her a fitness test. Jesus. She looks good though.
Nice face. Nice and sweet personality. Nice voice.
Many sources indicate she is 5 feet 10 inches.
To the person who guessed 160 pounds- that should be her first goal. She is definitely over 200 pounds.
Her father being a former football player should advise her on how to lose weight.
isnt she like 6′ tall? i mean at least she’s not flubby, she seems like shes in good shape for her size, you know? like plus-size model quality…
She looks good, no rolls, no sloppiness. She weighs a lot more then 160, I’ll tell you that, probably closer to 180. 160 would probably be a good weight for her.
She looks solid, not flabby and fat. Her dad was a linebacker, so I bet being large runs in her family.
Hopefully she does not go against being healthy and loose lots of weight like other contestants…
She does look so tall next to Blake, hahah. Next to Ryan Seacrest she looked like a giant!
She looks great, very sexy.
She is a very beautiful young girl. Her body is extremely inviting and luscious. Nothing like a girl with thick, soft, feminine curves.
Does anyone know what her nationality is? Just wondering.
Listen people being too big or too small is not healthy. I think that her BMI is defenitely over the normal limit and she is young, what will happen later on in her life. I dont think she should look like Nicole Richie, but I do think she should lose some weight.
I seriously hope she doesn’t start losing mass amounts of weight.
I have such respect for her… I think she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I mean gorgeous, adorable in every sense of the word, and she isn’t obese and she isn’t anorexic. I find her to be perfect. Plus, she’s got this giant magnificent voice. I just love her.
Oh, and to you assholes calling her fat, Melinda Doolitle is WAY fatter than her, and also very flabby and lumpy. Jordan looks very put together, no rolls or flab. Oh, and I’d guess she’s at about 160 or 170.
“Seems to be in good shape”??? Are we looking at the same pictures here?? I mean, I’m not insulting the girl but last time I checked, being “in shape” was somehow connected to being physically fit.
Regardless, I think she’s pretty and incredibly talented. I’m sure her label will encourage her to become super sexy, wear mini skirts, change her image and drop 30 pounds.. Maybe we should all place bets on it..
SHE’S NOT OVERWEIGHT YOU BUNCH OF STUPID B*****S
HOW CAN YOU BE SO IGNORANT ?, GOD!
Oh my god. Somehow I knew this post would attract comments of the “OMG she is liek so unhelthy she must hav hart problums!” variety. Why can’t you people just do a little research?! BEING SLIGHTLY OVERWEIGHT IS NOT UNHEALTHY. Weight is NOT a black and weight issue; you are not either a size 2 or morbidly obese. There is a whole lot of lovely healthy gray area in between. The sad thing is, many of the people who love to ignorantly preach about how unhealthy curvy women are likely underweight, which is actually much less healthy than being slightly overweight. Go ahead and keep labelling normal people “unhealthy,” and “obese,” and “riddled with heart and joint problems;” fool yourself that starving yourself and overexercising and obsessing about your body is healthy. In the end, you’re only hurting yourselves.
You can’t change the shape you are born with. This girl has curves, and she will kill herself if she succumbs to what Hollywood expects of her. If she loses weight, I hope she does it for herself and no one else. Unfortunately, it WILL help her career probably if she does
She’s just BIG. I don’t mean fat-big, I mean she’s tall and large boned. I think she’d look better if she dropped maybe 10 pounds, but not much more than that. If she got too thin, she’d look like a total freak. She’s absolutly gorgeous, and while maybe a little heavier than ‘normal’, she carries it well, and dresses her body approperiatly. I’ve never seen a roll or a lot of jiggling, so for being a bigger girl, she’s probably in decent shape. I can’t believe that anyone would call this girl obese/severly overweight. Sure she’s a little chubby, but I don’t see why that’s so horrible.
She looks beautiful just the way she is. I know what I am about to say will not matter to some but to that some, I feel bad for you all because you can look at someone and not see something positive about them, you look at them to only see bad. Women are suppose to have curves, men love that. Curves look great in clothes. Clothes on a straight up and down person looks very boyish. I feel that the some I am talking to are envy of curvacious women because thighs, hips, and butt is what is in and has always been in. The thin are envy but too scared to gain weight because of what people might say. Women and men really know what looks good (Curves)!!!
She’s absolutely beautiful!
She is Beautiful! She seems like she has a good personality as well. She looks really good with that beautiful curvy body of hers.Hopefully she dosen’t join the anorexic bandwagon.
Girl is tall and weighs more than 160. I’d say around 180-185. She’ll lose about 35 pounds……my guess.
There was a news clip with two people on it and one was saying that overweight people should not be winning american idol because it inspires kids to be overweight.
This just kinda made me think of that.
She is very pretty, but would be more pretty if she lost a *couple* pounds.
There are not enough 120-140 pound women.
There are too many 100 pound women. Too many who get to that weight by unhealthy ways.
There are way too many 175 pound women. Too many who get that way from unhealthy living habits.
Overall, American women are too fat. There are frightened anorexic exceptions to the general situation.
I know it is not easy for them, but it is the truth.
This girl is already borderline fat—and she could have serious problems if she does not change to a healthier lifestyle,
I’m about her height and I have been every size between an 8 and a 28. I was 320, got down to 145, and currently at 155. So, I consider my estimations pretty accurate. If she wears a size 12 as someone mentioned, at her height I would estimate 180 (no way over 200 as someone said). I think she actually looks more like 165-175. But it doesn’t really matter, I’d bet anything her BMI is in the “acceptable range” maybe sllliightly over weight, like a 25 BMI (over 24 or so is “overweight”. And she looks good. She’s pretty. She looks happy and healthy and she’s extremely talented (well, I’m guessing… I’ve never actually watched an episode of American Idol).
Leave her alone.
you people need help. really. really. you think she’s fat?!?!?!?! get a reality check folks.
She’s actually been a Torrid model, so I don’t think she’ll lose any weight. If she’s bold enough to be a plus-size model, she’s obviously proud of her body.
I’d like to hear from the voice of reason:
Tim Jones.
my best guess? she’s maybe a teence overweight. but if she starts doing a reasonable training regimen, she’ll shave off a few pounds (mostly of baby fat, which she still, quite reasonably, has) just a few mind, and look smashing. i never once thought she looked fat, per se. i mean, i’m 5′2 on a good day and she’s a giantess; what do I know from how her body should look?
I DEFINITELY don’t like her at all. I think she’s conceited, and irritating. However, I will say that she is a pretty girl, and she is not very overweight. She’s not stick thin, but she’s not Oprah post weight loss. The girl looks good, although I can’t say she looks in shape, because obviously she’s wearing too many clothes to make that determination. Because of her conceited nature however, I think she will lose some weight to fit in. Look what happened to Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, and the rest of them. It’ll happen to her too.
Omg, are you stupid or something? I am not an American, I do not follow American Idol, so this is the first time I see this woman. And she looks good. Absolutely normal. Not fat, not skinny.
If you seriously think shes overweight, then you need to have a really loooong talk with your body image.
I think it would be great if she didn’t loose any weight
and conform herself to the unrealistic hollywood standards of the super-skinny waif girls!
So hey, what does our guy Tim Jones think?? I agree,
he is the voice of reason!
hey jeks, remember she is 17, an i don’t think it is right at all, to even put a post about her on here, seeing as this is the unless u are Nicloe richie and look like your on your last limb sight, i loved this sight till now, she is still a baby, and i am sad that anyone here would talk bad about her, all who did should feel ashamed.
Jerks*
meybe she just looks so big becouse that guy is really small? She looks great to me, doesnt need to lose weight, plus that’s probably pretty much her bone stucture, how she is built wont change…
She was a plus size model. She will not lose the weight. And some of you think shes unhealthily OVERWEIGHT? Wow. -bashes head against wall-
She’s disgusting? Overweight?
No way, she has a very average figured, most American’s aren’t little tiny people. And she’s not overweight, she’s a size 12, she’s a normal weight, especially considering she’s 5′10.
I’m positive that if we saw her in real life you wouldn’t think twice about her weight other than noticing that in general shes a big girl, definition of full figured, shes what most plus sized models look like (Odd because a size 12 ISN’T EVEN PLUS SIZED!)
I think we get so used to seeing celebrities as so thin and petite we forget what non-celebrities look like… I think its so funny to see celebrities in fan photos with average looking people, celebrities always look SO incredibly tiny and fragile: in height and weight.
I’m a small and very thin person, and prefer the thin fit look. However, I think that Jordin, being 17, and 5′11″ as far as I have read, is probably as some have guessed, weighs 180-185lbs. I think that for her to look her professional best she could lose maybe 25lbs., tops. The girl is 17 years old! Her body still needs nutrition to develop. She has a fabulous singing voice, is a beautiful girl, and doesn’t need to get a complex in this f*@#%^&*!!!cked up society. She’ll have enough pressures. That woman that said she was too obese to win AI should get rapped over the nose with a newspaper. What a bitch. I hope that Jordin won’t get neurotic, and has a wonderful singing career. I would LOVE to have her singing voice!

I totally agree with Jed. There is a medium that we rarely see represented in Hollywood. It seems to be black or white.
I think she looks like an ancient greek statue, figure wise.
Really. They sculpted their GODDESSESS to look like this, for a reason.
She looks healthy, powerful and downright gorgeous.
Alix, I saw that interview with MeMe Roth (who kind of reminded me of Ann Coulter, scarily enough) - and I was shocked by how nasty and illogical she was!! And I was surprised that she made such a big deal out of Jordin being a bad-weight-role-model (what about Ruben?)..
I know we can’t *tell* everything about a person’s health just by looking at them, but she looks like she is curvy - not flabby. She’s tall, she has broad shoulders… and her waist-hip ratio looks “healthy” to me. She looks happy, too.
what the hell are you guys talking about? Shes 17 YEARS OLD! She shouldn’t be pressured to diet or lose weight or anything: shes fine the way she is now. you people disgust me.
skinnygirl: shes 17, shes a minor, delete this post.
sorry u guys are stupid, thisgirl is hardly overweight! Does she carry any fat around her stomach……no!
The girl is hardly overweight!
She just isnt a skinny little rake, nor is she built like kate moss!
SHE IS OF NORMAL SIZRE!
U STUPID LITTL PRETEEN PRATS HAVRE SUCH A FUCKING DISTORTED IMAGE OF SIZE AND BEAUTY, THEN U COMPLAIN WHEN THESE PEOPLE TURN INTO SIZE ZERO’S!
WHAT DO U FUCKING EXPECT!
THIS HAS JUST TURNED IN2 A LONG RANTY BUT YOU PEOPLE(THOSE CALLING HER BIG) FUCKING PISS ME OFF!
Jordin is beautiful. She doesn’t need to lose weight to conform. You idiots on here think she needs to lose a few, and my guess is you are nowhere near as gorgeous or talented as her. Are you trying to make everyone into plastic Barbie dolls? Men also prefer curves. They need somthing to grab onto. All the whiny skinny girls secretly wish they had tits and an ass, like real women. If she decides to get in shape, I hope she does it for herself and not for all the sheeple.
skinnygirl/rian could you please do a keira knightley post if possible please?
I think she looks really good. She pulls off being larger. I’m all embarrased to say this but like on youtube when ppl talk about that guy Blake their always saying how hot his ass is and now I’m all curious, lol.
Sure she isn’t a size zero, but keep in mind we have only seen her on tv next to mostly small framed guys. She doesn’t have a fat face at all and I think she carries her weight very well. I think other than the fact that she was on AI, her weight would only be a big deal b/c of her age but trust me by the time you get t college, a lot of girls gain weight and get closer to the average size twleve. she is beautiful!
I think she looks very beautiful and sexy. That size suits her, though she’ll have to work hard to keep it firm as the years pull it all down.
To have this womanly waist-to-hip ratio, some of us can afford to keep on some pounds (like her) and others need to be quite slim (like the more ‘boyishly’ framed).
I really think she looks stunning at this size and while so young.
Personally, I dont think she is in great shape. But shes a gorgeous girl with an amazing voice. With that much talent, who really needs to look perfect, right?
she’s bigger, but her dad is a football player for crying out loud…what else do you expect?
I haven’t really been following AI at all, but she looks cute. She definitely has curves, but in a more balanced way than Kelly Clarkson.
Her face is hideous… she has one of those faces that just looks out of proportion with the extra weight around it.. like triangular or something. She’s not fat, she’s just ugly.
Wow, she looks tall!
I think that, clinically, she is a little bit overweight. She is very pretty though, beautiful girl!
I think she is big and I am sure she is gonna lose weight fast and say “I eat like a pig really but I struggle to put on weight” or “I have always been naturally thin”…
She ain’t a rail for sure, but I think she looks fine. She could stand to lose a bit of weight, but I think she’s beautiful where she is. Why should everyone in Hollywood be skinny, after all we are all different and different sizes in real life, so why not in Hollywood too?
If everyone looked the same we’d get tired of looking at eachother
why must everyone slim down argh
No, she shouldn’t lose any weight. I like it that she isn’t just another lollipop lady!
Swanhilda,
Unfortunately, there is no reasoning with most of these people. They have ceased to think. Essentially, they just parrot and spout buzz-words and the pseudosciences perpetuated by the tabloids.
As I said before, Jordin is a very beautiful young girl. She has great curves and is extremely feminine. Some people are saying she would look better if she lost 30 pounds, I honestly think she would look fantastic if she gained 30 pounds.
Jordin looks alright; she could maybe lose about 10 lbs and look really good. She has a beautiful face!
Someone else mentioned her dad being a linebacker in the NFL, but he was actually a cornerback. He is very lean and slim. Not big at all. I think she gets her “big-boned-ness” from her mom! But I’m sure her dad could help her in the fitness department!
is she hispanic, black, what?
anyway i think this is her natural weight, and she’s 17, still growing, so i’m not going to be one to advise a diet at this point.
i’m sure she will lose a good 20 easily though, as with her new fame, she’ll probably become a lot more health concious, excahnging chips and soda for fruit an vegetables which will easily help her to naturally drop some. i don’t think she’ll go drastic though. her height is a blessing because she can hide a lot of extra weight. she should be greateful.
I’m about her height and weight and wear a size 10. I think I look fine and she does too. The perception of some here is quite sick. Maybe those people should get out more and go live in the real world where not all woman look like supermodels. I never had any complaints about my size and I’m healthy too. I’ve never been in America though, I suppose everybody looks like a perfect size 0 there…… (yeah sure…)
miss bliss you have a perfectly normal body
and that is the shape models had less than 10yrs ago, now it seems being a UK6 has become the norm (with models i mean)
and most women are never so small, well not without working very hard at not eating and being very pettite
and i swear US0 isnt a UK4 , well i dont think so, because I can wear US2 and it was a designer skirt
trust me my UK10 ass and boderline 29inch hips are no where near a US2 which translates to a UK6 (supposedly)
It seems like she gained weight? I’m not sure.
She looks like a big, healthy girl. By big I do not mean fat, I mean very tall with a larger frame (she probably couldn’t get down to a size 2-4 just because of her bone structure - that being said, I don’t wish she’ll be succumbed to try). I think she’s just fine. I still cringe when I remember that idiot bitch on Fox News bashing about how “the last thing we need is an overweight American Idol” and calling Jordin obese. She is not obese. Her BMI is probably within the healthy range or very close to it.
Brenda G: 29 inch hips? Is that a typo, because most models have hips LARGER than that, so I’d find it hard to believe that you would be a UK 10 with 29 inch hips. Surely you would be more like…I dunno…a US 00…For instance, Daria Werbowy (just an example) is a US 4 dress size. Her measurements are 34-24-34.
She’s half black and half white. I don’t know the specifics
elise
i go by what was written on the inside of lee hipsters, i dont have scales or measuring tapes
otherwise i get obsessed with my wieght and measurements, so i probably have it wrong because i wouldnt describe myself as thin, just slim and definately not model measurements
in my dreams (well the healthy ones like adriana lima, gisele etc anyway)
She is in shape - there was an article about her in People this week. She is very active and plays alot of sports.
You can be in shape and still be a size 12.
She is beautiful and doesn’t need to slim down to look like all the other anorexic celebs out there.
Thank GOD there is someone out there like her, to show that you can be beautiful, healthy and IN SHAPE at ANY size.
I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:
