Well gee.. what can I say. My name is Elisha Jordan, and I am an aspiring singer/songwriter. I would describe myself as
a very easygoing, open minded, intelligent, and loving person. I can also be VERY stubborn lol. I can be a little shy at first, but once I get comfortable with you, I am very open and goofy! Unlike most women, I really hate to talk on the phone.. I'd rather talk in person. I love animals, and
have a small cat named cassie who is my only *child* lol. I just got married this past year to a
wonderful man named Gus, who is very patient, loving, and who would do anything to make me happy... who
could ask for more? :) I love music, as it is my lifeblood. I love ALL kinds of music, and have no particular ONE favorite to listen to or perform. I love to sing everything from Jazz to Rock to Country to RnB to Classical and so on. As I said before, and I also play
several woodwind instruments including sax, clarinet, flute, and a bit of oboe. I can have a quick
temper sometimes, but I am quick to forgive and don't hold grudges. My friends tell me that I am a
great listener, and I try to treat everyone with
respect and diplomacy/fairness.. I guess that's about it for now, I'll add more and refine this as I figure out what to put here..

Hi! I saw the notice about MySpace's talent thing, and you immediately popped into my head. I hope you enter...you have tons of great videos to choose from!
Hey girl, You are awesome! I am moved to tears when I hear you sing "At This Moment" You should really try American Idol again. You have SOOOOO much more talent than some of those they have shown on there this time around. Whew! Seriously!! Have a great weekend. God Bless. Chris
