 Jordin Sparks by: Jordin SparksLiking 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.
