ALBUM REVIEW: Jordin Sparks - Jordin Sparks

Date: November 16th 2007 // Author: Mike // Filed Under: Album Reviews

America Idol’s very own, Jordin Sparks, releases her eponymous debut effort next week Tuesday (November 20th) as well off of Jive records. The Idol’s album includes some crazy, stellar production from the likes of Stargate, with the first single ”Tattoo,” and The Underdogs.

My, my, my, despite critic’s frivolous claims towards Sparks’ efforts, this album isn’t half bad, for a debut, especially considering how young the Arizona-native actually is. I’m so, so proud of Sparks becos she has come a very long way, for the most part, she gets high praises from me.

Overall this album wasn’t anything I expected, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a bad thing, there was some wicked jams and unordinary downbeats. I don’t think fans, existing or potential, will be disappointed. Some of my favorites are “No Air,” “Freeze,” “Shy Boy,” and “Just For The Record”.

Her album is a HOT ASS MESS! Jive is making her into pop fluff, like they are trying to re create the original Britney Spears album or something. Jordin has a great voice, and this album doesnt showcase it at all! Its a dissapointment.

I think the album is really really good. For the above if not POP fluff what exactly should jordin be? I don’t think “deep and brooding” would work all that well. I think the effort was great for a debut.

Jordin’s CD Rocks. I love the song One Step at a Time. I recommend going and buying this CD, if you enjoyed Jordin on Idol.

DO: Speak your mind. All of it! We're not like those other blogs who over-moderate comments and delete people's opinions just because they don't agree with what their readers have to say.
DO: Stay on topic. If the post is about the BET Awards, don't come in here talking about what you're cooking for dinner or what happened at work today.
DON'T: Bash the contributors of this blog. We created this nice place for you, so the least you can do is show us a little respect. It's not cool to bash the commenters either.
DON'T: Just post "First!" as a comment and leave it at that. Yes, it's fun being first, and we understand that. But at least post a comment to go along with that. Comments with just that one word in it will be automatically deleted.
DON'T: Link to your site, or to other sites, in your comment. If you want to promote your site, the best way to do that would be to purchase some ad space, or resort to the cheaper alternative - request to be added to the blogroll.
