Editorial Review:
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
Jordin Sparks Reviews:
Jordin Sparks - Debut 
2009-08-28 - I remember this album when I was 20. I enjoyed this record. She can sing for her age. She had spent the summer months crafting this Platinum debut(2007). Honing all the confidence, class and breathtaking range of emotion that put her at the epicenter of the entertainment world for most of 2007. She poured everything on this record. The album also benefitted from a summer-long vocal workout on the raod during the 56 city Pop Tarts Americal Idol Live! Tour. The album has rock cuts, edgy stuff, and ballads. This album has been certifed Platinum. Remember, this was 2007.
Self-Titled Debut - A Great Album
2009-05-28 - Jordin Sparks' self-titled debut album is a great start to her singing career. She sounds amazing on every song and doesn't over do it. The album is very enjoyable and the songs will get stuck in your head causing you to sing them over and over again. I definitely recommend this album to others and I know that this is not the last we will be seeing of Jordin Sparks in the years to come.
Love this CD!
2009-05-19 - Jordin Sparks is a great singer and this CD has a great mix of her songs!
Jordin is FABULOUS but she DID have formal training! 
2009-05-09 - Hello from Jordin's former voice teacher MELISSA BLACK - owner of MUSIC BY MELISSA in Peoria,Az. Jordin was my full-time voice and piano student for 9 months when she was 14 and 15 years old - as EVERYONE around here knows. She is a natural talent and one of the most beautiful girls ever WITH the most outstanding voice around - however the bio about NO FORMAL TRAINING has never been true. Nine months is not a long time and i have never taken credit for her success - as no teacher ever should - BUT i do take credit for HELPING her polish her vocal and piano skills.
Light and Easy! Listen while you work!
2009-02-13 - Well, it was December 17th. I remembers it well. It was a complete convalescence of events in one day. It was my work Christmas Party, it was a playoff game for my basketball team, and it was me and the wife's 24th wedding anniversary. How is an honest american to choose??? Well, after a couple of healthy shots at the Christmas Party, I decided to partake in my aforementioned Playoff Basketball Game.
I was havin' a monster night. I means to tell ya, the players on the other team didn't so much as look at me crooked, else they knew it'd be another one of those spinning hook shots. Bam! We were ahead by 15 points, the game was winding down, and I had once again beaten my inferior to the basket. As I stopped to jump, Snap! Pop! I collapsed to the floor in excruciating pain. Days later, I found out that my knee had pretty much imploded on itelf. It was swold up like a mellon, and I had torn several parts to my knee which all ended in the suffix "-CL".
So I had me some surgery, and now I have to go to physical therapy to learn how to walk again. The physical therapy office is a small, depressing little office on the 6th floor above a Chipotle. Whenever I go there, they have the light and easy radio station playing, which only deepens my depression about my knee and the hand I've been dealt, in general. I have always dislike radio stations whose mission statement is "to make your workday go by faster". The only bright spot is when the Jordin Sparks song, "I love you like a tattoo" comes on. She has a sweet voice that has obviously been digitally modified and auto-tuned to perfection. Once her tattoo song is over, its back to the doldrums of coldplay or david archuletta or Josh Grobans. I can't wait to hear what the rest of Jordin Sparks sounds like. did you know her dad played defensive back for the n.y. giants??? I kid you not, look it up!
