File this under things no one saw coming. According to HITS Daily Double's rumor mill, Jordin Sparks has reportedly been dropped by 19E management. Per HITS' site:
THE SPARKS ARE GONE: Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment has terminated its management relationship with Jordin Sparks. The 19 Recordings label will continue as Jordin’s record company with its joint venture partner, Jive Records. (11/20p)So let's get this straight...Jordin's album is 50k copies away from going platinum, an album which, by the way, has spawned two Top 10 singles and another Top 20 single, has been nominated for an American Music award, two People's Choice awards, nominated for two MTV Video Music awards, four Teen Choice awards (winning one of them) and a few BET awards, launched her own clothing line and has contributed to many charitable causes, and that still isn't good enough?
So far there has been no comment released from Jordin's camp, so it will be interesting to hear their side of the story. It's also important to keep in mind this does not mean Jive Records has dropped her, she is still signed with them. This is just management, but still it's a bit surprising.
