Millions Of Sparks Of Jubilation As Jordin Sparks Wins 2007 American Idol

Americans did not vote for Jordin because she's good.  They voted for her because she was hyped and is a 'cute kid'.

lol, Seun voted from nigeria. He was one of the74million Americalanders that voted   

i think i saw Seun's face in Kodak theatre  closed to Simeon, Randy and Paula's back during the time Sanjaya was singing, oh was it during Cece and Bebe + Melinda singing,  gosh I forget but saw a similar face 

Haley?  with all those shorty pant and skirt and blouse she is cute? oh davidylan  read on idol website when she was kicked out that it's because of the skipys, lol
she is cute sha 

We have all made our points.

i don't understand how someone wil say Jordin did nt deserve to win or that she can't rily sing,or that her looks got her in ^{i totally dnt get it}

this was one of my favourite jordin sparks performance.

@seun you obviously do not understand the dynamics of American idol, but i will take the time to explain it to you

1. when a contestant gets eliminated, its not because they can't sing or perform, its because the greater public are voting for someone else and as a result, u get the least amount of votes.

2. sometimes, a singer may have a bad round and still have majority of the votes, for example blake who's votes were mostly from young teenage girls

3. being gospel oriented or mature like melinda, does not mean you get less votes, it just means more people voted for blake and jordin, age doesnt play too much of a role because taylor hicks was 30 when he won, not only 17yr olds can attract votes.

I watched the competition from start to finish and i think i have a better say than someone who just watched d finals

that has been my own position from day 1. Amazing how many people are making fantastic judgements on the back of a mere 1hr (removing adverts and irrelevancies) out of a 4 month program!

Please note that the final perfomances did NOT count towards the outcome of american idol. the announcement of the winner was done on wednesday, the actual competition ended tuesday night. Voting ended 12pm ET on tuesday night. On that score it would be wrong to base your judgement on wednesdays "perfomance" as that did not count.


awwww pele, ok i will be nicer from now on. 


Sure we all agree Melinda was by far the better singer but my argument remains; the winner is not determined purely on singing ability alone. Other factors have to be taken into consideration. Babycakes made a good point earlier, i was wrong to assume age was the sole contributing factor as Taylor Who won last yr at 30!

Lol 

lol

Jordin Sparks is vocally weak.  I've been listening to previews of her songs all day and my opinion remains the same.  However, I could hardly resist the hypnotic track in which she kept saying 'I love you' to me.

Men find it hard to resist the spectacle of a very young woman singing "I love you" to them - even if her voice is weak.  That is the true secret of Jordin Spark's success; she is a "forbidden fruit" at 17.

Questions:
- What happens when she turns 18 and is no longer a "forbidden fruit"?  (Britney Spears started out as one)
    If she has a brilliant marketing team and cosmetic surgeon, maybe she remain 'young' in our minds?
- Why is Melinda Jordan's album the most popular American Idol 6 Album on Itunes?  She's consistent.
- Why is Jordin Spark's song "I who have nothing" her only really popular song?  Its "I love you" message.

I make it my job to analyse things like this, so I'm almost always right, except when I'm wrong.  Cheers!
Summary: Melinda is far better than Jordin Sparks, but Fantasia Barrino will wipe the floor with both of them!
