How does it feel to call in sick the first night of your first major concert tour? I don’t know. But I would like to ask Jordin Sparks. Because she didn’t perform this evening at the Hampton Coliseum with Alicia Keys.
How do I know since it’s only eight pm and the concert started about an hour ago? Because I was there. Or, at least, I was approaching the gate when an announcement came over the PA system to all the folks standing in line.
Jordin Sparks will not be performing tonight.
She’s sick.
Hopefully she doesn’t have anything major wrong with her. I can imagine how upset she must be about it. And I hope she feels better very soon and can start performing again.
And so we got back into the car and went down the road again. But it was not a waste of time. Because I had a chance to talk with my son. I talked him into going down to Hampton with me after my wife couldn’t go (a wedding came up). And he was nice enough to accept my invitation providing we came straight back after Jordin sang. He has “plans”.
It’s Saturday night after all! And things don’t really get going until nine or ten pm anyway! Things start happening just as I am going to bed. What is wrong with this picture?
I would have enjoyed seeing Alicia but that was the deal. So we had a nice drive back and he told me all about Senator Obama and what a wonderful President he is going to be. He mentioned that he was thinking about joining the Coast Guard Reserve. And he told me about the courses he has picked out for next semester.
The road was fairly peaceful except for a few crazy drivers (You know who you are) and one State Trooper who for some reason unknown to us was driving backward in the emergency lane and went by us on the right at about fifty miles per hour.
That’s not easy to do.
So it was an interesting ride home. And now I am here waiting for Beth to return and wondering about Jordin. I hope she is alright. She is only eighteen years old after all. And tonight must have been a very important night for her.
Get well soon Jordin. We still love you. It’s not the end of the world.
Our young people are the most important thing in the world to us. All we want to do is support you all and help you to grow.

Update: There is a report out that says Jordin is having problems with her vocal cords. She needs to rest or they could be permanently damaged.
Update2: Jordin’s grandmother comments below and notes that Jordin’s vocal cord was “in danger of bursting, so vocal rest was ordered by her doctor. ” So it is not as bad as I have been reading in some places. Hopefully she will be well soon. And thanks to Nana for relieving a little of the anxiety some of us are having about Jordin.

REST jORDIN! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
