What a shameful comment to make about our idol.Take it or live it madam “tinny”,she is the most beautiful idol ever.If u are in doubt, pls check the current issue (september)of GLAMOUR.The truth is she has made me love my wife more cos I can now appreciate my wife beauty more.Pls keep off our WORLD IDOL.
Jordin is healthy.MeMe Roth needs 2 accept people despiseful of body image.
It doesn’t matter what she weighs or what dress size she is, if her body fat is at a healthy level, then Meme Roth can bugger off.
If Jordan Sparks is a size 12 and 200lb, this tells me something…that she has a larger frame and an athletic build. Because if she was all fat at 200lb she’d be a hell of a lot bigger than a size 12 let me tell you!
Unless her doctor says she is unhealthy, then it’s no-one elses business is it.
that barbie is my idol! its about time someone started telling all of you fatties that disagree with her how your lifestyle is unhealthy. if your fat, EXERCISE, and get some common sense… obesity DOES affect your heart rate, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc… there’s a reason these things become known as “statistics”. look it up! so the next time you go to sit down to eat a snack pick up the celery over then snickers.
That is just insane. I just watched that “Mimi” woman on a news show and she instantly earned my “hate”. She’s not Barbie. Unless there’s a new Dyke Barbie who comes with a stick up her A$$.
Jordan is beautiful, she is womanly, she is NORMAL.
We have enough Nicole Richies in the spotlight.
I am proud of my daughter Emily and she is older than her years. I think there is an issue to address here but it is not Jordan’s weight. It is america’s obsession with being thin. In the meantime, I will most likely continue to support my daughter to be healthy and ignore people that make judgements about people based on size.
Hi my name is Emily and I am 11 years old. My mother is watching me email this so it’s okay that I am 11. I am really sad that someone had to make a big deal about Jordan’s size. My mother brought home People Mag. so I could read it. I was so impressed with Jordan’s attitude about her size. I am already 5 foot 4 inches tall and am in the fifth grade. My mother challenges me not to grow each time I do. We laugh and have since I was two. I have always been bigger than most of my friends and the doctor thinks I mught be as tall as six feet. I am well liked and I am proud of who I am but some girls are not. I have been teased when I younger but I told them the truth is I will never be that tiny little girl. So many kids are being bullied for being fat. Some kids as young as nine throw away the food the are given by thier Mom’s so they won’t get fat even though they are skinny. I wrote a paper in school about the school lunch program and how they feed kids really bad food. We have very little PE or recess. My mother supports me to be healthy. I eat well, exercise at a gym and speak up when some talks abou my size. I hope Jordan does also. She is so pretty. It just seems a bit selfish to use her to get attention about obsety when there are other ways to being people’s focus to problems like obsity. President Bush cares more about testing then weather we get enough exercise and healthy food. Maybe the presiden could try to help kids like our Governor Arnord does. Seems like eveyone just cares about things the wrong way. Jordan lost some weight or worked out but they did not use her as an example as someone who is really great and has not let people stop her because she is a bigger beautiful girl. The other lady might be trying to help but she should find a nicer way. Really it is better to be nice and not pick on people because of them being different than you. Good luck Jordan and I know you are really great in every single way. I watches you every time you sang and it was super.
Jordin is definitely a fatty. She’s the size of both her parents combined. So Mimi Roth is only trying to help Jordin.
But in the end, only Jordin can help Jordin lose a crucial 20 pounds, which would probably halt or stop her excess adbominal fat from secreting into her blood and causing high cholesterol, high blood pressure and other obesity related health issues.
She was voted American Idol. She should now be our Fitness Idol.
The funny thing is that with all of these anorexic celebrities today…she mentioned nothing of being too thin in Hollywood. Mimi’s comments were harsh and one-sided. If she was going to call Jordin a picture of “unhealth” she should have also examined unhealthy celebs like Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton…etc…who are too thin. I think her comments were uncalled for.
Way to go Meme for sending out the word that fat people don’t want to hear!
go to hell mim roth you ugly blind hag. I hope you die. Jordan is beautiful as she is.
I prefer a skinny girl to a fat girl but I don’t think Jordan is obese at all. I think she looks fine regardless of what Meme thinks.
Well, she is a little fat, not morbid or anything. I like girls with her build actually. I personally am 225 lbs and all muscle and built with almost no fat on me, but women are supposed to be curvy like jordan. I’d bang the hell outa that bod. but to be honest she does have some fat on her and she covers it up with her clothing and i have seen the several rolls she got going on. look at her arms. If anything she should hit the gym and tone up, then she would be so hot with that bigger tight body. yummy.
Clearly MiMi Roth was never fat a day in her life, and she is also clearly not a health care provider of any kind. If she was, she would know that there are thousands of thin diabetics, both Type 1 and Type 2 (the one she’s making comment on), and that being slightly overweight has long been considered the lesser of two evils versus being underweight. Yes, there are long-term health risks that come from severe obesity, but Jordin is clearly not morbidly obese.
The BMI scale that is quoted as scripture for determining recommended body weight is not truly an accurate portrayal of what it claims to calculate because it can’t factor in variables such as bone structure and muscle mass. Based solely on height and weight, Jordin could weigh anywhere from 140 to 185lbs and be considered healthy. Judging from every photo I’ve seen of her, I’d put her at the top end of that range, but that, again, doesn’t take into account muscle mass and bone structure weight. She could easily be 200lbs and STILL look as amazing as she does, and I doubt she’d be at any higher risk for the laundry list of diseases Roth rattled off unless she has a family history of them.
There are numerous reports in nursing and medical journals every day debating the issues of how much weight is too much and how little is too little, and I really don’t think singling out someone who’s clearly NOT obese, even by the government’s (inaccurate) standards does anything but discourage the millions of overweight and obese people in this country. We are already bombarded daily by images of super skinny stick-thin actresses and models and told that they are the image of beauty, but when you take a quite average sized, beautiful (in every definition of the word) TEENAGER and tell the WORLD that she’s fat you’re running the risk of furthering the obesity crisis by saying average isn’t even good enough. Now that what many people, myself included, would consider a healthy, normal body size to shoot for in our own personal struggles with weight has been called obese and disease prone by yet another super skinny, never-fat Hollywood talking head, the unattainable image of beauty has been, once again, reinforced in a way that prevents even those with realistic goals or only a few pounds to shed to lose hope of ever being thin and, more importantly, healthy.
That’s just the aesthetics of the matter; skinny does NOT always mean healthy, and that has been proven time and again in clinical studies. I personally can attest to that: I’m overweight and have never had anything more than a stomach virus and food poisoning at the same time, whereas my best friend, who’s 5′ and 100lbs, has a laundry list of health problems, including gastritis, esophageal reflux disease, diverticulitis, fatty tumors, recurrent kidney infections, gallstones, and several other disease processes once thought to only be a problem of the obese or aged. My blood pressure averages 108/68 (120/80 is considered normal), my heart rate runs 60s awake and 40s asleep (athletes often have slow heart rates because of physical conditioning), and my blood sugar, even after my recent birthday celebration cake, never peaks above 110 (70-120 is ideal). My friend, on the other hand, has a persistent heart rate above 100, blood pressures of 130s/90s (considered pre-hypertensive), and she is also a reactive hypoglycemic (her body is producing too much insulin, which can later lead to exhaustion of the pancreas, thus releasing too little insulin and becoming diabetes). I’m a lacto-ovo vegetarian who gets at least 30 minutes of exercise daily who constantly struggles with her weight, while she’s a pack a day smoker who thrives on fried foods and never gains more than a pound or two through the peak of holiday eating season. Her father died at 51 of a massive heart attack, while my relatives live well into their 90s.
Do you see my point? Just because someone is overweight does not automatically make them an unhealthy, fat, lazy slob; and simply because one is thin should not make them think they don’t have to work out and eat right in order to be healthy as well as thin. For being someone who works with an association to battle obesity, MiMi Roth clearly has some homework to do before she can go gallivanting off to spout her ideology of a “fat-free” society to the masses.
The one thing that remains a comfort to me is the knowledge that when she hits menopause she’ll most likely pack on 30lbs+ and suddenly find herself in the “overweight” crowd (by her definition, not ours) struggling to drop that extra weight. Of course, with her salary she can afford personal trainers and chefs to essentially take all the hard work out of getting in shape. Yes I, too, could be 5′6″ and 120lbs if I had access to those resources, but I, like most Americans, have to get by on frozen diet dinners and the rare few minutes I can squeeze in some treadmill time between my job and family responsibilities while living on a tight budget.
Ms. Roth wouldn’t last a day as a fat person in the real world. Of course, if she was, or at least HAD been fat at some time in her life, perhaps we could all take her “heartfelt pleas” a little more seriously.
First of all, I don’t beleive Ms. Roth is Jordan’s physician and has the facts in order to make such a judgement. Secondly, shame on you for making such deplorable statements about this young woman of 17, that so many young people are looking up to right now. Who are you to set a nationwide presidence using Jordan as your personal target? It seemes you are riding on the coat-tails of this incredibly talented young woman in order to make some sort of name for yourself as an obesity doctor. If you were truely concerned about her potential obesity, perhaps you should have contacted her directly to share your thoughts and educate her, rather than pushing them on the rest of the country in a negative manner. Just what is your message going to be the the young people out there that are somewhat overweight or actually obese? Because of the ridicule you have placed on public television, and the stigma associated with obesity, young people could resort to potential eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia in order to reach or maintain a thin weight, as not to be ridiculed by their peers. Rather, use your degree in a positive way to encourage Jordan and others of this country that follow this “American Idol”. Be the messenger and educator of health, not ridicule and ignorance.
Once again, woman are being judged by their LOOKS and not their talent.
Where was this Meme Roth when Ruben and Taylor won American Idol – NO WHERE! Can we finally live in a society where woman can be valued for their talent and intelligence ? Why does this woman have to stoop to this level. It’s absurd. What kind of message are we sending to young women ? No matter how much talent you have you better adhere to a ridiculous standard of beauty to be accepted ? We as mothers spend years telling our daughters that what counts is inner beauty and intelligence and this insepid woman goes on FOX news and spews this garbage.
SHAME ON YOU MEME ROTH !
What qualifies you to make such statements? Do you have a medical degree? Are you Jordans doctor?
Don’t use Jordans moment to shine as your platform to spout such idiotic comments. Shame on you.
hey Stephanie, go eat something I can see right thru you…..you skinny people are the real problem…I am not big but calling that little girl fat is not only out of line, it is jealous talk and people need to shut up about it!!
In the words of Dan Akroyd, “MiMi , you IGNORANT SLUT!!”(nOT PROFANITY). To say that Jordan is Obese is Ridiculous. Where do you get your guidelines from,Barbi? It is skinny sticks, such as yourself, with over inflated egos, that is going to assist the self-esteems of todays young girls to CRASH!!! I will Not allow my daughter to read anything you have to say, I would hate for her to think she is fat, just because of a narrow(skinny) minded fool, such as yourself! It is because of people like YOU,anorexia and bulimia run rampant through todays girls. You should be ashamed of yourself!!
I am really curious as to just when in America a size 12 body frame became obese or indictive of a plus size. I was always under the assumption that a size 18 was the start of the plus size clothing line. Jordin would look absolutely sick and rediciulous as a size 2 she is a curvey healty young woman and to have said that about her belies ignorance in the highest order
hell yea shes fat look at that girl, she just wears her jeans over her spear tire. it not my opion it is just her covering it up. its called a treadmill girl, get to running. i just wanna know her real wieght, 225, 250 what.
I’m disgusted that Mimi Roth has the nerve to publicly say such horrible things about a teenager trying to make a life for herself. She should be ashamed. She has the audacity to talk about someone’s weight, she should take a long hard look at herself and see how ugly she is. How would you feel if I said ugly people like you should not be allowed to speak in public Mimi. You disgust me. People are making an effort each day to respect each other and there you go thinking you are the most perfect thing to happen to this world, GET A LIFE and mind your own freaking business. Back off and let the girl be. She is 50 times more beautiful than you will ever be- I think you are just jealous. Oh and by the way, I’m 5, 3″ and 108 pounds and I don’t think like you. Not everyone can be skinny as you-try as they may- have a freaking heart and some common sense.-Leonie-
i do think jordin is too heavy for the title, blake would have been MUCH better off of this. not only is she bigger but i believe blake has a much better singing voice. jordin is only 17, she has time to get things straight, the lady in the clip is one hundred percent correct, however i thought it was very rude of her to say she sees diabetes and heart disease when she looks at her. jordin did not deserve this as much as blake and should lose much weight now that she won.
Jordin is obese?? What in the world?? She is in no way obese..she doesn’t even look like she’s got a bit of extra weight on her like some of us do.
that woman is totally insane and should not be believed in any other matters if she can’t tell that Jordin isn’t obese.
mimi roth’s comments were uncalled for and rather infantile.it is clear that mimi is very prejudice against overweight people and obviously she judges people only on a superficial level.jordan is a little chubby but not obese and even if she were obese she seems to be very talented and a nice person so get real -ugly bony mimi.there’how does she like it?
I think this is absolutly rediculous!! I unhderstand that this day and age there is an increasing problem with obesity, however, to call Jordan Sparks obese?? I think this lady should ge6t her eyes checked, because i think there is a visible difference between being obese and being healthy! JORDAN SPARKS IS VERY FAY FROM OBESE! Mimi Roth is an uneducated mean woman!!
I agree with most of your post anjanette- however, I do not feel her comments were racially fueled. Kelly Clarkson did lose quite a between her Idol crowning and her second album. She became quite thin for awhile but has since gained back the weight. I can think of several videos and appearances she appeared at at least 25 lbs thinner than when she first appeared on idol. Obviously it was not long lasting, but she clearly did fall under the pressure to be thin.
I find the opinion of Mimi Roth ill educated, mean, and highly offensive. Her remarks can lead Jordan into another Karen Carpenter, who also experienced remarks about her weight, where is Karen now? Dead from anorexia. Ms. Roth’s comment about diabetes is incorrect, although you may have higher chances of getting diabetes due to poor eating habits, you do not have to be over weight to have diabetes, it can be hereditary and skinny people are equally affected by this disease. The fact that Ms. Roth can go on national television and call an extremely talented young woman fat, and go on and on how Jorden should lose weight clearly signifies that this woman has serious issues herself and should consult with her own doctor. I also find Ms. Roth to be prejudiced maybe her comments about Jordan weight was more a racial issue, did she make the same remarks about Kelly Clarkson’s weight who clearly a success by her talent and did not cave into the pressures of being a stick figure lolly pop head. Anjanette
She is a tall girl (looks close to 6 ft!)and does not have a tiny petite frame, but she does not appear to have a lot of excess weight on her. her legs and arms look pretty thin to me. Not everyone has the potential to be tiny and small. you can still be healthy without being tiny. I definitely think that woman is incorrect in assessing her as “obese”. I doubt she meets the criteria for obesity. She should get her facts straight… Jordin does not look unhealthy and obese.
hell! I’m only 130 and have 2 kids and my
one-time trainer told me I was fat…. I don’t like people!!
if she’s raelly considered “fat” then this is a sad world.
