Liking Jordin Sparks, American Idol's season six winner, comes instinctively. How many 17-year-olds are as self-possessed, as big-smiling, as committed to having a good time and keeping it real? Probably none. Liking Sparks' music has been a different story for fans anticipating her debut CD, though. Her gut-busting Idol performance of "I (Who Have Nothing)" was possibly her only prime-time goosebump generator, yet she's seen an instant progression to diva-dom, as chronicled in reports that found her heading into the studio alongside pop/R&B heavy-hitters Bloodshy, Avant, the Underdogs, and others. Was it a little soon for the relatively green Sparks to be throwing off such big-league, beat-heavy sparks? Well, not hardly, it turns out. The ballads here--songs like "Next To You" and "Just For the Record"--reach out at times with overeager sincerity (forgivable!), but the funkier numbers--"Young and In Love" and the Prince-flecked "Shy Boy," especially--slam home her positives. Jordin may still be a juvie, but she's a bona fide pop star. She earns her props as convincingly here as she did on TV. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews

American Idol at her best.
I bought this cd because of my granddaughter, she wanted it and so I decided to buy it. I loved Jordin on American Idol and thought wow does she have a voice. Well as I listened to it I just fell in love with her songs. I am not a fan of pop music, country music for me. but folks I have to say, this is one cd even a country music fan can enjoy. As I listened to her songs, and the sound of her voice she really put her heart into it. I can't single out one song on this cd because all of the songs are great. After listening to her cd, I guess you could say its time for me to listen to pop music again and expand my music collection.

Jordin is great....
I can't say that the content of this CD thrilled me as much as watching her perform on her Idol Run, but she is very talented. I think it may take a bit more time for her to really figure out who she is as a singer and how she needs to be show cased regarding style and song choice. But this CD is a good start and she is so YOUNG!

Better Than People Said
I listened to the songs on this album online before buying the CD on Amazon. And although there are a few I skip, overall I like the whole CD. I would not have thought I would have bought her CD after she won American Idol, but I found the songs on this album to be much better than any other CD from her season (at this point). My favorite tracks are "Freeze" and "Just for the Record."
