Hello,
Looking back about 6 years later on Season 6 of "American Idol" is looking back at a season that wasn't very strong. Both Blake Lewis and Chris Richardson finished in the Top 5. Richardson was one of the dumbest contestants in "Idol" history. Blake Lewis was a master of the beat box, but not much else. I still can't believe he finished higher than Melinda Doolittle. Now there's a woman that can sing and should have at least been in the finals.
Season 6 was also the same year of Sanjaya Malakar, one of the most annoying Idols ever. I still can't believe he finished in 7th place. Tied with him is of course the so-called Crying Girl. I can't remember exactly what she was crying about and I certainly don't want to research it. But she was inconsolable when she did cry.
That was also the same year of the gorgeous, but mediocre singer, Haley Scarnato. It seemed like her clothes revealed more skin the further she got in the competition. If she had made the finals she might have been singing in the nude. Of course that would be preferable to Blake Lewis destroying songs.
Miss Doolittle is a woman:
Melinda does some Bon Jovi, "Have A Nice Day". I remember I was quite surprised how much I liked this performance. Not because of Melinda, but because she was singing a Bon Jovi song.
Here's Doolittle doing a tender song "Home". She sings this song with such poise and grace. Let's hope she's invited to the inevitable "American Idol" All-Stars edition. That's the only way I'd ever watch that show again.
"As Long As He Needs Me":
I can possibly see why Doolittle didn't win Season 6, she picked some lesser known songs. But with her amazing voice, she still should have finished ahead of Blake Lewis.
Also the arrangements of some of the songs she sang were kind of janky. Take for instance this song and "Trouble Is A Woman":
The Bee Gees version:
One for Lakisha Jones, her powerful version of "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going":
Some of Sparks "American Idol" highlights. These videos are shown in a mostly chronological order. She clearly became stronger as the show continued on.
"If We Hold On Together":
"To Love Somebody":
"Living On A Prayer"- Jordin Sparks
"I Who Have Nothing" If I remember right, this was the song that swung the momentum her way. She absolutely soars on this song.
"A Woman In Love":
This is Sparks version of Christina Aguilera's amazing "Fighter". Sparks had to have a big voice and a lot of confidence to even take on this song.
"A Broken Wing"
All of Miss Sparks "American Idol" performances.
Some of her post "Idol" highlights, this is "Tattoo":
"Don't Let It Go To Your Head":
"The Cure":
"Emergency (911)":
This is such a great song, easily my favorite of her post "Idol" songs, "Battlefield":
Jordan Sparks all grown up doing an amazing version of "I Will Always Love You":
