American Idol 2007 Winner Jordin Sparks Sings at Superbowl 42
American Idol winner Jordin Sparks says she is a “very, very, very happy” girl after singing the national anthem at The Super Bowl on Sunday.
Jordin’s big moment was even more special because her father, retired football star Phillippi Sparks, once played for the New York Giants. (The Giants beat the New England Patriots 17-14.)
“You couldn’t ask for a more fitting story,” her father told the Associated Press.
After helping to inaugurate University Of Phoenix Stadium in 2006, Glendale’s American Idol, Jordin Sparks, returned to her hometown to sing the national anthem for Super Bowl XLII.
With her family looking on, Sparks performed the anthem in the winning style that brought her the crown on the American Idol reality show last year.
Dressed in a sleevless, black dress and high heels, Sparks seemed happy and relaxed as she sang a smooth, low-key version of the anthem. She added an Idol-like vocal flourish as an ending.
She sang to piped-in music while standing on a pedestal on the field.
Sparks has been spending some time at home with her parents, former NFL star Philippi Sparks and his wife, Jodi.
She is expected to tour this year to support her new, self-titled debut album.

Good for Jordin! I’m glad to see her doing so well and keeping it classy too. For anyone interested, Jordin is also part of the DVD set for Talent Challenge. /p>
