2007“美国偶像”新鲜出炉
[align=left]Jordin Sparks, a teenager with a big voice and big dreams, was crowned Wednesday as the newest and youngest "American Idol." [/align][align=left]Sparks, 17, of Glendale, Ariz., prevailed over beatboxer Blake Lewis, 25, of Bothell, Wash., after a triumphant performance Tuesday that wowed the show's judges and the viewers who gave her the majority of the record 74 million votes cast. [/align][align=left]The contest came down to either the stronger singer, Sparks, or the better entertainer, Lewis. Sparks delivered her songs simply and powerfully; Lewis' flourishes included his sound-effects beatboxing and sharp dance moves. [/align][align=left]"You were the best singer tonight. You deserve it all, baby!" judge Jackson told Sparks. [/align][align=left]"You just wiped the floor with Blake," added judge Cowell, who then told Sparks he was wrong for initially thinking she wasn't good enough to win the Fox talent show. [/align][align=left]"I would say the best individual performance of the night was Blake on the first song," Cowell said. "But, based on overall singing - Jordin." [/align][align=left]"I'm pleased for the two of them," judge Cowell said of Sparks and Lewis. "They're nice kids. But I would have liked to have seen one of them up against the big singer."[/align][align=left]vote cast：投票[/align]
