Jordan Sparks

After watching today's youtube clip about Jordan Sparks "weight problem" I didnt know how to react. As a beautiful and talented 17 year old girl I could not understand how someone could call her obese and claim that she shouldnt win the American Idol title because she was setting the idea that being "obese" was acceptable in society. Jordan Sparks was referred to as "normal", but in the sense that "normal" now is overweight in our past standards society because such a high percentage of Americans are overweight now. I personally feel that if someone is competing in a competition and is noticablly better than they should clearly win the competition. In the case with Jordan Sparks weight should not have a been a factor in her voting or publicity. The one thing that stuck out in my head was the fact that noone took measures this far with Rubin Studder who was much more over-weight than Jordan Sparks. The only thing I can understand is the fact that people are worried for Jordan in regards to future health problems, but at the same time she is a 6 foot girl who is never going to weigh 100 LBS. That would just be unrealistic.
