A Baby and a Christmas CD, What More Could a Famous Singer Wish For?
It seems that life is perfect for American Idol’s Paris Bennett, as she gave birth to a daughter Monday afternoon. Bennet, also known as "Princess P” on the show's fifth season, is the proud mom of a little girl who weighed 5 pounds, 15 ounces at birth. The 20-year-old was in labor for five hours in a Minnesota hospital before delivering the child.
This is the first time that Bennet has had a baby. "I'm so excited to finally see my little angel; and man, does she have lungs on her," says Bennett. 20. "I guess she's gearing up to be the next American Idol." So it seems that little Egypt Bennet appears to already be following her mother’s singing talent.
Paris began performing at the age of six and was trained by her mother and grandmother, Ann Nesby, the former lead singer of the Sounds of Blackness.
Her partner, the father of the baby, prefers to remain out of the public eye. That’s what her mother, Jamecia Bennett, told the Minneapolis StarTribue back in June when Princess P announced her pregnancy. “Paris’s mother Jamecia Bennett and her family is filled with excitement and welcomes their bundle of joy,” the statement said.
Bennett, who earned her fame by finishing American Idol’s fifth season in fifth place, will release her album, "A Royal Christmas," on Tuesday, October 14. This is mostly a traditional holiday tune compilation including; 12 Days of Christmas, Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night and Deck the Halls and original songs such as Holla Day Shuffle, written by her mother, Jamecia Bennett, according to USA Today. She launched her first album, “Princess P,” in 2007.
