James Barber and Suckshardcore - both groups of comments are insightful and dead on target.

Jordan is a sweet girl, nice voice but winning AI is not going to be the Disney, happily ever after fairy tale she might imagine.

Along with the pressure to change her body (to fit other persons perceptions of what an AI should look like. (Look at poor Reuban, he has been on a diet since he won AI.) She is also going to have to cope with people who will be trying to dictate what her "style" is going to be since she hasn't matured to the point where she has her own style. Every other AI in the past has had that "something" a bit different, a style, a comfort zone but I don't see that in Jordan. Nor do I see her as having the strength to stand up to those who are going to run her "career" for the next year.

Finally, there is the emotional maturity needed to simply withstand the pressure of a road tour, putting out an album (and you know that she will be constantly be reminded of whose first album sold and whose didn't) and dealing with sudden fame. (Remember Justin? Look what sudden fame brought him... I know that she says she has dealt with fame because of her dad but that statement just illustrates how clueless she is)

I don't think she is a shoe-in to win (despite AI forcing her down our throat) but if she does...I only hope she can rise to the challenges that await her.
