Jordin Sparks – Jordin Sparks (2007)
Biography
Sparks was born in Phoenix, Arizona, to Jodi Wiedmann, and Phillippi Sparks, a former NFL football player for the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys who at the time was playing in college for the Arizona State Sun Devils. She has a younger brother PJ (Phillippi Sparks, Jr). She lived briefly in the town of Ridgewood, NJ on Orchard Place, and attended Orchard school. Sparks attended Sandra Day O’Connor High School until 2006, then she was homeschooled to better concentrate on her singing.
Sparks appeared on the January 17, 2007 broadcast of American Idol, earning a “gold ticket” and the right to appear in the Hollywood Round. American Idol judge Randy Jackson made the offhand prediction that “Curly hair will win this year,” which he admitted was Sparks. Before going on to American Idol, she had won Arizona Idol. In 2006, Sparks was one of two winners who won the Phoenix Torrid search for the “Next Plus Size Model.” She was flown to California where she was used in a number of Torrid ads and promotional pieces. A full-page ad for Torrid featuring Sparks ran in the December 2006 issue of Seventeen magazine.
Sparks first auditioned in Los Angeles, California. She was not invited to Hollywood. She returned home to compete in the Fox affiliate-sponsored Arizona Idol, which she won. The winner of Arizona Idol was guaranteed an audition with the producers of American Idol at the Seattle, Washington auditions. Sparks was featured in the audition episode that aired on January 17, 2007. She sang “Because You Loved Me” by Celine Dion. The judges were overall impressed with her vocals, though Simon criticized her for “being too cute”, but Sparks was sent on to the Hollywood rounds of the show.
