Jordin Sparks to Sing at Next Superbowl?

by Jeanne on June 20th, 2007

It should come as a surprise to no one that American Idol champ, Jordin Sparks, is rumored to be in talks to sing at the upcoming Superbowl. Her father is a former NFL player and the Superbowl is being held in Arizona.

“You could almost rule it out if it was CBS or some other network (the game will be on Fox this year), but I’d say there is a good chance,” a spokesman told The Arizona Republic. “It would be absolutely perfect seeing that Phillippi (Jordin’s dad) played football and because the game will be held at the new stadium,” Sparks family friend Stephanie Rigby said. “I almost can’t think of why she wouldn’t.”

It’s pretty common to have a local celebrity (if there is one) sing the national anthem at football games. Super Bowl XXXVIII was in Houston, and Houston-native Beyoncé Knowles sang the national anthem. When the game was held in Detroit in 2006, the queen of soul herself, Aretha Franklin (who lives in Detroit) sang the anthem.
