Jordin Sparks Not Going Away for Good ... Yet

Posted Apr 21st 2008 3:16PM by TMZ Staff

Whether you really choose to listen to her or not, one thing's for sure: Jordin Sparks' singing career is not over. Not even close.

The alarm was sounded when Jordin had to ditch gigs this weekend because of what was described as a scary-sounding "acute vocal chord hemorrhage," which led to speculation that her career might be ovah! Sparks' rep tells us that while Jordin's condition is in fact "serious," it's manageable and she'll be back on tour in May. All her dates through the end of April have been scrapped.

The main thing is, we're told, that young Jordin needs to learn that vocal rest is vocal rest! Bettah keep that trap shut -- or else she'll be opening housing developments!

6. I do pray for a speedy recovery. You have a AMAZING voice for so young. That duet with Chris Brown was hot. He is one HECK of a performer, the boy has it going on.

Peace and LOVE to all.

7. She would make a much better actress. I doubt she would last as a singer regardless of her vocal problems anyway but I do feel bad for her. She was lipsyncing on IDOL the other week. What kind of message does that send? Last year's "winner" is lipsyncing and bebop boy is in never, never land.... AND the previous year winner and runner up have just been dropped by their labels. Sad. Sometimes the most popular performers are simply not the best. ...and that's how we get Britney Spears...and Miley Cyrus.....uchhhhhhhhhhhhh

11. To those of you questioning Jordin's vocal skill, check out her singing "I Who Have Nothing" on youtube. She has already had 2 Top 10 singles from her debut CD.

12. Could it be the comments that Keys made about " THUG LIFE"?
Keys don't let them scare you from what you think to be true,
sense there is know proof other wise.

13. Her vocal damage means less ear damage for me.
