I'm absolutely thrilled about this. Jordan Sparks is such a good singer. She is really gonna be able to sing the score. I also love that she will be the first Nina who is actually age appropriate. Great news!

"Jordan Sparks is such a good singer. She is really gonna be able to sing the score.

Really...? I don't think she can handle it."

She has had a problem with her vocal chords in the past, although she denies it was anything serious. You make a good point, and I do see where you are coming from. I just think that with touring and what not, hopefully her voice will be able to handle singing 8 times a week.

I am trying to be really good and not judge until I see her but I'm not thrilled by the idea.
