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

nice debut
from the AI champ.

With songs for just about any type of listener r&b, pop whatever you like it's here. Uptempo songs (One Step At A Time, Young and In Love), ballads (No Air w/Chris Brown, Next To You), midtempo songs (Shy Boy, Tattoo).

Its good all around with only one track that i didnt care for aside from that. It's an album that should please her AI fans and folks looking for a little something else as well.

Favs:
No Air (Duet w/Chris Brown)
One Step At A Time
Tattoo
Permanent Monday
Just for the Record
Shy Boy
Freeze (nice beat to this one that i love)

This really DESERVES a ZERO for lack of ORIGINALITY!
This album is a MESS. Cant the American Idol winners release something of interest? Theres really only 1 good song and thats the duet with Chris Brown. Once again an artist with an amazing voice & because of all the politics involved with making an album and who controls you this ended up being a total disaster. Ughhhh....i wish i could get a refund for this CD!!!!

Good debut
Good debut for Jordin Sparks . The only thing that is very strange is that she used many genres of music , and it make the album a little confuse . She sings pop (tatoo , no air , shy boy) , rock (permanent monday , now you tell me) and R&B (freeze). There are good songs : freeze , shy boy , one step at a time , but there is bad songs : no air (the worst , if she sang alone it will be better , but Chris Brown... s**t) , god loves ugly . If you like this album try to listen (or download) overcome , that is Jordin Best song , but , for unknown reason , is not on the album.
