Ok I happen to think Jordin Sparks is gorgeous and looks very healthy. For those of you who are criticizing her for being overweight and a role model, how do you think it feels to be overweight and have completely normal eating habits/exercise? I have a disease that makes it difficut for me to lose weight (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and/or carry children. To have a woman like Jordin Sparks as a role model is amazing and makes people like me feel that we are not so different. You can say she is overweight, or disgusting or whatever…but walk in the shoes of an overweight person and I guarentee you, you woud not be so judgemental.

Everybody has their own opinions of what is pretty. I think women need curves to be attractive (and not because their hip bones are popping out)I really don’t know why this stick figure body is being sought after. There is more to life then the weight on the scale just eat right, exercise, and be happy.

Live Laugh and Love.

Jordin Sparks is a very beautiful girl! She is 5′11 (nearly 6ft) Her weight has been up and down lately, but i think she looks great; she has lost a lot of weight since a few years ago when she was nearly 200 pounds!

To those who are saying sizes 12 plus are disgusting: and a size 00 is even better? Either end of the spectrum CAN be unhealthy but not necessarily so. Given that fact she is nearly 6′ – it’s right, she’d look ridiculous as a size 12. That would be far too skinny for her height. As long as one is healthy, it shouldn’t matter what size you are. Saying any size is ‘disgusting’ just promotes self-consciousness and UNhealthiness.

OK. first of all just because you’re overweight does NOT mean that you are ugly. Because i mean she is pretty and she’s not like disgusting where you can’t even move. She just looks bigger, I saw her on with Alexa Chung and she looked firm in her stomach no gross rolls or anything. She just is bigger, I mean she’s almost 6 ft.

And we don’t know her medical stuff. She could be healthy or a little bit overweight. And the reason we say take pride in yourself means have self-confidence. It also means don’t care what the media or people say about, because we are all beautiful. Not always healthy, but don’t feel bad for being the way you are, that doesn’t just mean being a little bit bigger or being too skinny.

jordin is a beautiful woman and an inspiration to many.

hime and ace- who says big isnt beautiful, who says you have to be a skinny toothpick to mlook amazing?? NOBODY! you have no right what so ever to judge anyone based on their weight, that is low and shallow. and who says that just because someone is a size 12 or above that they are obese? did you know that if some of your so called obese americans lkost weigght to fit your criteria, they would be sick and discusting beacuse if you didnt notice, noone is exactly alike, and everuyone has their own boidy shape, somne peoples body shape isnt compatable with being tiny, due to their bone structure. with that said, hine and ace, unless you hapen to be a doctor and went through many years of school, i suggust you dont speak, beacuse you really dont have the facts right.

big is beautiful and jordin is gourgous just the way she is. you have no right to judge ayone based on ANYTHING! so just back off.

I think she’s fat and ugly but ace- size 12 is smaller than the average american size. The average American is a size 14. With that said, celebrities lie about their sizes and this girl doesn’t look like a size 12 at ALL. Size 12 actually doesn’t look that bad. Size 14 is when it goes from “curvy” to “overweight”.

With that said, it’s disgusting how fat Americans encourage other fat Americans to remain unhealthy and get fatter. The whole “take pride in yourself” has gotten severely warped. Taking PRIDE in yourself means being healthy. You can say what you want, size 12, 14, 16…that’s not healthy. Obesity causes WAY more health problems than low self esteem, and perhaps if fat people weren’t taught that “big is beautiful” they would have the low self esteem they SHOULD have to realize they have a PROBLEM and that being fat not only isn’t pretty, it’s a danger to their health. If anorexia isn’t sexy because it’s harmful to people’s health, then neither is obesity.

She’s absolutely repulsive! A size TWELVE?! I think Michael Moore is skinner than she is. I’m disgusted that Americans think she’s attractive. She’s bordering on morbid obesity, and it’s obscenely unhealthy.

Jordin Sparks is a beautiful young woman. I wish people would stop talking about her weight. Not all women could be a toothpick.
