[edit] Biography
Jordan McCoy was born in Mount Vernon, Illinois and started singing at age three. By the time she was eleven years old, Jordan convinced her mom to take her to the American Idol spinoff American Juniors competition auditions, where Jordan went on to the finals category. However, she was not selected to the final five contestants, otherwise known as the 'American Juniors Band'. After the show, she went to Los Angeles to start developing her music career and auditioned for TV and movie roles. While recording in Los Angeles, her label head (who did Dream with Diddy) mentioned he was in town and he wanted to hear her sing. Jordan stopped by the hotel and sang and danced for Combs. Diddy signed Jordan on the spot to Bad Boy Records.
Jordan was also considered for the title role on the Disney Channel original series Hannah Montana, but the role was later filled by Miley Cyrus.
It has been reported by E! News that Jordan will appear on Diddy's upcoming album We Invented the Remix Vol. 2.
Her song "Rock Star" was featured on an episode of The Hills.
[edit] "Big Girls Don't Cry" Controversy
In 2006, the song Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie was presented to Bad Boy Records where it was handed to Jordan McCoy. McCoy's team felt they had a huge hit on their hands and quickly recorded the song assuring Fergie and her management that they were going to release it as a potential second single. However, according to McCoy, after Fergie heard their finished version, she had a change of heart and recorded her song for her debut solo album "The Dutchess". Jordan and her team were upset by Fergie's decision, and scrapped the entire project and considered suing Fergie. However, because Fergie was a co-writer of the song, nothing could be done about it.
