Jordin Sparks
Biography
Jordin Sparks may have been the youngest American Idol when she won the title on the reality show's sixth season, but the Glendale, AZ, resident had already packed plenty of accomplishments into 17 years. The daughter of Phillippi Sparks, former left cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys and former defensive back for the New York Giants, Sparks had no formal vocal training, but showed a flair for singing while still a toddler and was drawn to performing of all kinds at an early age. By her early teens, Sparks was singing, acting in plays and modeling, and already winning acclaim for her talents. Along with performing with Alice Cooper and Michael W. Smith, she was Coca Cola's Rising Star in 2002 and made her recording debut with 2003's For Now EP with CCM artist Matthew Ward and engineer Gary Leach. The following year, she won two awards at the 2004 Gospel Music Association Academy, placed second overall in that year's Music in the Rockies competition, and appeared on America's Most Talented Kids twice. In 2006, she won a plus-size model search held by the Torrid clothing line and appeared in an ad for Torrid in the December issue of Seventeen magazine. That year, Sparks also auditioned for American Idol, performing in the Los Angeles tryouts; while she didn't make the cut, she later won the American Idol-affiliated contest Arizona Idol, which allowed her to audition again for the show in Seattle.

hey i wanna no what the thing at the end of your song and you dedecatede to wendy who is she anyone know
|
||
the album cover looks like something from the 70's. i like the 70's but probably not the best choice for her debut cover
|
||
I didn't know that Jordin Sparks sang this song. She has an unusual sound somewhat like Natasha Bedingfield. Just remember, she is quite a young girl. (Just like Chris Brown). Her talent may be huge but maturity takes time. Give her a minute.
|
||
i respect her beliefs and that she wears a promise ring.but i feel her comment at the VMA's was uncalled for.just because someone doesn't wear a promise ring doesn't mean there a slut.but i respect her opinion.
|
||
i like some of her songs like freeze and i agree she's got a great voice.i liked her in the beginnin' of AI but towards the end of the show she got very cocky and that bothered me.and i thought the comment she made at the 2008 VMA's was very insultin'.
