Jordin Sparks out of Idol finale

By David Knox on November 19, 2009 / Filed Under Programming 24

jsSorry Jordin Sparks fans, she’s out of Sunday’s Australian Idol finale now, after cancelling her Aussie visit.

Maybe Britney rang her and told her Australia has too many walkouts….oh wait, that’s right, she actually sings.

Turns out she has cancelled due to illness.

So that leaves Michael Buble, Mika, Guy Sebastian, Wes Carr, and Ricki Lee-Coulter on the bill.

Plus the eliminated top 10 finalists who have been rehearsing this week in Sydney.

And maybe some kids named Stan and Hayley.

Gunsberg out…

    Never heard of her. No great loss.

    I don’t blame her for staying away from the embarrassment that is Australian Idol 2009.

    I really do not understand why people are so hateful of Jordin Sparks? The girl Can really sing, and sing well! I wish Jordin nothing but Well Wishes and do hope her a speedy recovery! I am still going to purchase the song “Art of Love” and the video when released in the United States.

    @Britney Spears fan – Maybe you should listen to less Britney and read a book instead. Your bad spelling is truly shocking.

    They should just play Jordin & Chris Brown’s “No Air” whilst Guy lip syncs it on stage, they are basically the same song anyway,

    The most pathetic season to date gets more embarrassing.

    Guy might still sing Art of Love. It was going to be a solo if he didn’t get Jordin. Jordin, btw, is recovering from successful surgery (appendicitis, I believe). Hopefully Jordin can reschedule her promotional visit.

    Jordin had acute appendicitis. She was operated on today. And to all the well wishers on this site (sarcasm intended) she is recovering. And yes she was going to be singing Art Of Love with Guy, and is extremely disappointed in not being able to do so. As unlike a certain other Aussie Idol, Guy actually met the person featured on his song, both while recording it and making the video. No sending it over for voice to be added and no composite video made in two separate countries. And if they ever land up at the same concert together, I doubt she will sit in her dressing room and let him sing it by himself as a certain rapper did to that other idol.

    That is strange, Guy Sebastian told me the other day she would be there :(

    ..She was tragic last time she was on Australian Idol, It made an onion cry it was that bad!. Maybe thats the real reason she pulled out, Cause we Remembered her last performance!!

    Don’t we have another Lip Sync’er in the country right now?? someone call Britney Spears!!

  15. Tim November 19, 2009 at 6:45 pm -

    Ahh that’s no good. She was the one of the only reasons why I was actually going to watch it.

    Good “move” on her part, I’m sure the dozens and dozens of Australian Idol viewers will be distraught though…

  17. ryan November 19, 2009 at 5:40 pm -

    ten should ask jessica mauboy to sing some songs plus get delta to sing a few of her catchy songs and they should also get marcia up there to sing her best song, and i hope this yr they show that voting room and told us all about the voting and how many votes are coming in

  18. Andrew November 19, 2009 at 5:35 pm -

    Guy will probably cancel now or sing that other song I can’t stand that’s played on the radio all the time!

  19. David Knox November 19, 2009 at 5:33 pm -

    As in “Seacrest out.”

  20. George November 19, 2009 at 5:25 pm -
