American Idol, this country’s most popular singing competition that has the power to every year turn wannabes into people that others now want to be is down to the final 2 for season 6. The 2 remaining contestants are Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis.

Jordin Sparks is a 17 year old high school student from Glendale, Arizona, who auditioned in Seattle Washington.

Jordin, has also been a contestant on shows such as American Juniors, Star Search, and America’s Most Talented Kids, and in 2003, she recorded a Christian music album.

Both of these contestants are already winners, because with American Idol, you don’t have to win, to become a star. So far all of the top 2 finalists have continued with their singing careers by releasing albums, and continuing to be memorable performers. (Season 1-Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini, Season 2-Reuben Studdard and Clay Aiken, Season 3-Fantasia Barrino and Diana DeGarmo, Season 4-Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice, and Season Five-Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee.) None of these performers had to go work a regular 9 to 5 job after American Idol, they all got to continue to pursue their dreams in the music industry.
