Season five 'American Idol' contestant Paris Bennett has given birth to a baby girl.
The singer's rep confirmed that she welcomed a daughter named Egypt Bennett on Monday afternoon.
Bennett's firstborn arrived at 3:36pm and weighed in at five pounds, 15 ounces.
"I'm so excited to finally see my little angel – and man, does she have lungs on her," the singer announced. "I guess she's gearing up to be the next 'American Idol.'"
BV Buzz reported back on June 28 that the 20-year-old 'A.I.' finalist was pregnant after her mother confirmed the news with 'Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune' columnist C.J.
"This makes five generations," an overjoyed Jamecia said at that time.
"Princess P," who is the granddaughter of former Sounds of Blackness lead singer Ann Nesby, has never revealed the identity of her daughter's father, previously telling the paper that he "chooses not to be in the public eye."
In other news, Bennett will release a jazz-fused holiday CD, 'A Royal Christmas,' on Oct. 14.

And the POINT IS? Wow another baby having a baby and what makes it worse is, "the baby daddy doesn't chooses not to be in the public eye?" Give me a break people...He's either MARRIED, GAY, SPOKEN FOR, or A LOSER, ok....

Haters please stop. She's no baby. Good luck to her and her baby and baby's father. I wouldn't want to be in the public eye either. Look what happens when fools find out your business. They always has something negative to say.

Congratulations Ms. Paris! I know Egypt has to be a beautiful bundle of joy and with her big lungs, I'm sure she will carry on the family name with the heavenly singing you've been giving us. I think you're a beautiful and talented young lady that I just Adore! You're my Angel everytime you sing!
Love, Love, Love my Paris Bennett

Congrats? congrats? Please, Miss Paris is coming from a very religious and well respected family and we/they are happy about a child having a child? And being unmarried at that? How's that any different from the Jamie Spears situation? I think she put career at risk and her good family's name in the dump. Are we not teaching abstinence anymore? Absolutely absurd.
