Jordis' first TV appearance was on CBS's Star Search in 2003. After appearing on Star Search, Jordis returned to St Paul, and continued performing with her local band. Over the years both The Fighting Tongs and Liars Club developed a cult following in Minnesota. It was no surprise to many when Jordis was chosen to appear on Rock Star INXS. In 2005, she was invited by the producers of CBS's Rock Star: INXS to audition for the shows at an invitation-only callback session.

Jordis was a standout performer on the first season of Rock Star, making it to the top five finalists. Jordis opened the show with a performance of The Who's "Baba O'Riley". This was a performance which would make music fans, and music insiders alike stand up and take notice.

Jordis' most memorable performance was her mesmerizing rendition of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World". She also gave standout performances of Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box" and John Lennon's "Imagine".
