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

Good, but not great - Great vocals, but the songs could be more interesting. Jordin Sparks has a good deal of talent, and I d like to hear more from her.

I gave in. - Yes, I voted for Blake, but Jordin is the one who can really sing. Nice bubble gum pop that will get stuck in your head.

Just Average - I loved Jordin on American Idol, but I found this CD disappointing. There are some good songs, but it really is just an OK album. I felt more could have been done to showcase her voice.

My Daughter Loves This Album! - I recently bought this album for my 7 year old daughter and she loves it. Every morning when she is putting on her make-up, she cannot stop dancing to One Step At A Time. She is growing up so fast, and I think Jordin Sparks would make a great role model for her.

Jordin Spark CD - I bought this cd for my sister and she absolutely loves it. The cd was sent to me quickly and in very good condition.
