I'm Not Obsessed With Jordan McCoy

I'd like to write this blog to prove to my friends that I have not gone absolutely bonkers over Jordan McCoy.

First : I don't love everything she does. There are a few songs by her that I don't really like. Some of the material she has recorded I admit is generic, and doesn't sound any different from songs recorded by Hilary Duff, JoJo, Aly & AJ, Demi Lovato, and other Disney artists. What I do believe is that she has a great voice, and can outsing all of those people I listed.

I am also not a fan of her album cover.



I believe the picture of her is too photoshopped, and it looks like she's trying to be hip hop. I've atleast 30 second previews of all songs on the album, she's not hip hop. Also, it looks like the person who added the logo on forgot to delete the white spots from the R and A in Jordan, but did remember to delete them from the O, and D.

I made this cover. Bland? Yes. But I believe it gets the point across and goes with the album title.



I just found this picture on her Reverb Nation page, and I think this would perfectly represent the album. Also, she doesn't look plastic in that picture.

Second: I don't think about her all day and night. I think about her during the dawn, the day, the dusk, and the night. Kidding!



That video was for fun, even though I do still think Fergie is a man-faced whore, it was just for fun.

I like the fact that Jordan is a good sport about it and didn't block me, call me creepy, and hide in a deep dark corner hoping I'll forget she existed.

When I originally uploaded that video, I saw that a site named Cafe Mom was linking to it. When I finally noticed that, the post had been deleted. I later noticed it earlier in sites linking to some videos Jordan uploaded. It turns out Jordan's Mom posts Jordan related videos on that website. I do not know what she said about my video, but I know that it was most likely her who posted my video on that website.

I like to be dramatic and act, and all my videos regarding Jordan help me do just that. Soon my videos aren't going to be all about Jordan. I'm working on a couple of others right now...One about Clay Aiken, and the other about Lady GaGa.

Lastly: I don't agree with the choice of singles from her album.

Next Ex-Boyfriend was released to Radio Disney only, which is perfect for that song. The mainstream singles were Just Watch Me, and I Get Weak. I feel Just Watch Me is a cliche pop song, that all the pop artists I mentioned before have released a song like it. I Get Weak is a cover, a pretty good cover, but covers never do well on the radio.

The most stand out track that I've heard is "Don't Need Boys". It has this whole 80's throwback type vibe, and I feel it could do fairly well on the radio. From the beat to the deep vocals, it is fun. I also believe "Good Guys" should make the album. It is a very catchy song. A bit immature, but fun. I enjoy the opening line "Hello, let me introduce myself, I've been 'round the world like no one else".
(Click the song names to hear the songs I mentioned.)

I'm also interested in hearing the song that Rob Wells wrote with Shelly Peiken. That's all I know about it. There's no title and no clip available. But I am a fan of some of the songs Rob has written and produced, and I think the song would probably be good.

So what you've learned is I don't worship the ground Jordan walks on. I support her because I feel I can relate to her. I am also a teenager trying to break into the music industry, and if there was a Canadian Juniors, I would've totally auditioned. Failed my audition? Yes. But I would've auditioned.

Now enjoy this video of Jordan singing one of my favourite songs, Love Is A Losing Game.

I was going to audition with this song for Canadian Idol, but after getting rejected the first time with an Amy song, I feared singing another. Instead I sang a Sass Jordan song, and if you don't watch Canadian Idol, Sass Jordan is a judge on the show. It got me past the first round, but not the second.
