Lakisha Jones is a Star in Flint!

LaKisha Jones got a homecoming rally on Saturday. The former American Idol contestant was greeted by about 1,500 excited fans chanting “Kisha! Kisha!” at Atwood Stadium.

“It’s so good to be back here,” she said. “Thank you so much for your support and your prayers and the love. My dream has come true.”

LaKisha signed autographs, posed for pictures and sang “God Bless the Child” and “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.”

Trey Michaels, the master of ceremonies and program director at WDZZ-FM (92.7) told Lakisha “You carried us on your back. You inspired us. You gave us a reason to believe.”

“We love you!” “We’re so proud of you!” “You are so beautiful!” people hollered out to a beaming Jones, in shiny black heels and a gray blazer.

Mayor Don Williamson and his wife, Patsy Lou, presented Lakisha with some gifts – the mayor presented Jones with a key to the city, Patsy Lou gave her a $6,000 check and six-month free lease on a new Buick LaCrosse.

“(I’ll use the money) as a down payment for my new home in Houston,” Jones told a TV reporter. (I could not help but laugh – she’s using the money from her Flint supporters to get the hell out of Flint, lol).
