I feel so bad for Jordin Sparks. I was reading online the other day that she has been struck with a career-threatening throat injury. The reports say that she’s suffering from an acute vocal cord hemorrhage and that it’s forced her to cancel several dates as the opening act on Alicia Keys’ tour. They said that if she doesn’t take the time out now to rest her vocal cords and let things heal that she will be risking permanent vocal cord damage. Ugh. I know that must be killing her. Not only because she’s a singer and that’s her gift, but it’s also her livelihood. I pray that she makes a speedy recovery and gets to join AK on tour soon!!
Besides the fact that I’m a poetry and spoken word STAN, and I’m also a HUGE fan of Def Poetry Jam, there are two big reasons that I love this clip. Can you spot them. I’ll give you a hint, they look like sisters! YESSSSS
My favorite part of the Grammy’s last night was Amy Winehouse. Yes, I was completely over the moon that Alicia Keys performed twice and won two awards, but there was nothing better to me than Amy Winehouse. Not only did she finally give an amazing performance & win 5 Grammy’s, but her acceptance speech was one of the best in recent memory. She seriously was too cute for words. Her shocked reaction was priceless. It was also cute how she ran to her background singers and embraced them. It seriously brought a tear to my eye. I hope that night will show her just how amazing she is and how much she’s loved. I know I’m her biggest fan. I don’t want her to die. “Ray Ray ” “My Blake, My Blake Incarcerated” Ahhhh, I love it!
