Jordin Sparks Pocketing 6th American Idol's Crown
May 24, 2007 09:05:46
Finally after a shocking departure of Melinda Doolittle, American Idol announced the contestant who is worthy taking the 'supposed' place of Doolitle. The often-lauded 17 years old Jordin Sparks has won over Blake Lewis and rightfully crowned the winner of this 6th season. Through this winning, Jordin therefore, is recorded as the youngest American Idol winner by far.
Three songs-finale, it was by all means an obvious choice since Jordin has displayed a blast of performance last night with Blake only preceding her by beat-boxing in the song "You Give Love a Bad Name". Jordin meanwhile put all her vocal skill in the rendition of "Broken Wing" and has the first two rounds under her belt. For this cycle's theme song "This is My Now", Jordin certainly had a better idea of the song rather than Blake who was slightly all over the place with his rendition.
