Happy birthday to Jordin Sparks, born December 22, 1989.
Jordin Sparks charmed America and the world as a big-voiced, beautiful 17-year old entry on TV juggernaut American Idol, winning the 2006-2007 season championship. Hailing from Arizona, Sparks began as a young underdog in the cost and noticeably grew in confidence and poise each week, ultimately becoming the front-runner after her stunning performance of the classic “I Who Have Nothing.” In addition to adding a youthful brightness to the competition, Sparks charmed the judges and the audience with her infectious smile and self-effacing personality.
