As most of my friends know, I am certified to be tone deaf and have no interest whatsoever in singing competitions. But watching this girl, she got me.
She's the American answer to our Siti Norhaliza. She's 17, the age when Siti won HER singing competition; she's sweet and cutesy; she doesn't have an abusive boyfriend or illegitimate child; she's well-balanced, happy and close to her family. And she can REALLY SING!!
Of course she has no problems with the English language :D, but you get the point...
When people were going for Lakisha, Sanjaya and Melinda Doolittle, I already knew the Jordin was going to win. Her rendition of "I Who Have Nothing" - blew me away.
Congratulations, Jordin. I'm already a fan :-)
This is My Now - By Jordin Sparks
There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I’d reached the end.
Baby, that was then.
But I am made of more than my yesterdays.
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
I had to decide.
Was I gonna play it safe?
Or look somewhere deep inside,
Try to turn the tide.
Find the strength to take that step of faith?
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
I have a courage like never before, yeah.
I settled for less, but I’m ready for more.
Ready for more…
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
This is my now.
