Last night on So You Think You Can Dance, singles from two American Idol winners, Jordin Sparks and Kris Allen, were used during dance routines.  It was a great episode last night, did anyone see it? 
Anyway, Kris’ interpretation of Kanye West’s “Heartless” was used during Evan and Janette’s routine.  I wasn’t a huge fan of the dance (I really don’t like the Rumba anyway) but Kris sounded great!

Brandon and Jeanine delivered an energetic pop jazz routine to “Battlefield” and I really liked it.  At first it seemed like Jeanine was having a hard time …read more

In yet another talk show appearance to promote her new Battlefield album, Jordin Sparks performed the title track on Live With Regis and Kelly.  She seems so comfortable singing this song that she’s ready to move on to the next single  
She looked really good too.  I didn’t like the volume control on the backup singers at first but it seems like they got it together.  Talk shows never have great audio anyway. 

American Idol’s sixth winner, Jordin Sparks, was on Good Morning America this morning where she performed “Battlefield” and she talked about what it’s been like for her since winning the huge singing contest.  She’s currently touring with the Jonas Brothers and she said that the crowds and their shows are a little more crazy than she’s been used to.  I can imagine!  Those JoBros fans can get really… excited!  Fortunately, Jordin says it’s been a lot of fun so I’m happy to hear she’s having a good time!
Her actual performance was pretty great!  I loved what she was wearing and …read more

Last night when I was looking through Twitter before I went to bed, I noticed this Tweet from American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks: “Hey everyone! Please go pre-order my new album BATTLEFIELD on iTunes now! If you do you get my new song VERTIGO! RT please! Looove you! ”

Jordin Sparks is currently on tour with the Jonas Brothers and when she sang her new single “Battlefield,” I’m sure fans of both acts were thrilled to see them performing together.  I think that the song came out quite well (and could I take a moment to comment on the clarity of this video taken by Hannah Hylen – very nice for something taken at a concert). 
I am not overly impressed with the dress Jordin picked for this song but she looked great.  I hope she is having a great time! 

Have you seen the album cover for Jordin Sparks’ upcoming release Battlefield?  I have to say that I am a bit disappointed considering how much (I think) she has grown as an artist since putting out her self-titled debut.
I just don’t get this.  She’s beautiful and the single “Battlefield” makes her sound like a strong woman.  Why wouldn’t they want to depict that in this cover art?  It doesn’t make sense.  It’s not even a particularly good picture of her but I do have to say that her skin looks amazing!
Tell me – what do you think of this?

After looking at this sneak peek of her video for her new single “Battlefield,” I can’t even explain how far Jordin Sparks has come since winning American Idol, but I’m thoroughly impressed. 
Granted, this is just a 30-second clip but the look in her eyes, the quality of her makeup, her lip-synching ability (and did I mention the song?) practically scream the fact that this young woman has been maturing and growing as a person and an artist.  I’m so happy for her!
I know she’s been hanging out a lot with model/singer, Steph Jones, (didn’t they look cute at the …read more
