Jordin Sparks Dazzles With ‘American Idol’ Performance

Written by Trent | Filed under Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks performs with Hollie Cavanagh on 'American Idol'.

With the ‘Sparkle’ movie premiere less than two months away, Jordin Sparks has been thrust back into the spotlight and she is truly making the most of it. Last evening, the underrated singer hit the stage on the ‘American Idol’ finale results show to perform ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ with Hollie Cavanagh and dazzled the crowd with her voice.

Sparks also performed at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards last weekend. In a special tribute to the late Whitney Houston, she belted ‘I Will Always Love You’ before presenting the icon’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, with the Billboard Millenium Award.

Watch Sparks on ‘Idol’ below:

It is such a shame that Sparks hasn’t been more successful since winning ‘American Idol’ because she is a fantastic singer. She understands her voice and her sugary tone would sound perfect on a catchy Pop single.

However, Sparks has not crafted the right material and her label simply doesn’t know how to market her. She tried to imitate Beyonce with ‘I Am Woman’ but that flopped and she even tried Dance/Pop with ‘S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)’ but that also tanked. Yet, do you know what she hasn’t tried? Sparks hasn’t tried being herself and as soon as she embraces her true talent, her audience will finally connect with her music.

   Her voice totally drowned out that little girl’s voice.

   Love Jordin, such an amazing voice. She is so underrated, probably because she doesn’t cause utter chaos. She is a true idol winner! Her and hollie sounded great together, my favorite performance from last night’s finale!

   She really needs to put out some quality material. Her niche is POP and she needs to focus on coming out with something that appeals to mainstream. I can tell she has fun in the studio but she needs to be sure EVERYONE will enjoy her music. She has immense talent and I love her. I still rock with Tatoo, No Air, and One Step At A Time. She needs to hook up with Ryan Tedder, and she also needs to add some acoustic guitar to her mix. That’s what’s hot with Alernative Pop sounding music. If she could do some acoustic sessions this summer it would really add to her buzz and re-introduce her beautiful voice to the public. That in combination with Sparkle will push her through to a Winter 2012-2013 single release. Spring 2013 will be her time!
