And So The Scandal Begins...

And so it begins. Less than a week after 17-year-old Jordin Sparks took home the top prize on American Idol, people from her past are wasting no time scurrying out of oblivion to ride her newly developed coattails. Leading the race is a vocal coach who claims she worked closely with Sparks three years ago, when Sparks was just 14:

“Jordin was just 14 years old when she studied with me in 2004,” vocal coach Melissa Black told Star magazine. “Her mom, Jodi Sparks, and her grandmother, Pam Wiedmann — who acts as her manager — found me on the Internet. We were together for nine months of intense vocal work, with Jordin taking one 30-minute class a week…”

Black says they haven’t spoken since Sparks stopped taking the classes, and she said mostly good things about her alleged former student. Nevertheless, Black admits, she was “hurt for a week” when the “Idol” winner said that she hadn’t had any formal training. “Jordin didn’t have to mention my name, but at least acknowledge you had training,” she told the tab. “But I’ve moved on, and I hold my head up high.”

How pathetic! What undeniable courage it must take to walk away, head held high, from the agony of being snubbed by a girl you haven’t spoken to since she was 14, when you two would engage in “intense” work together for up to half an hour each week. Doy!

My girl Jordin should rebut Ms. Black with this piece of advice: “Get a life, you f*%$#@* loser”!
