2007“美国偶像”新鲜出炉
[ 2007-05-24 09:28 ]

最新消息:天赋卓越的乔丁·斯巴克斯击败帅气逼人的莱克·刘易斯,当选新科“美国偶像”。与超女尚雯婕的经历颇为相似,Jordin Sparks最初并不被制作方看好,在去年夏天的初选中毫不出色之举,甚至未通过第一轮的初试。不过,笑到最后的人往往笑得最出色,此投票结果更见证了《美国偶像》更倾向于打造实力歌手。

Jordin Sparks, a teenager with a big voice and big dreams, was crowned Wednesday as the newest and youngest "American Idol."

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.

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.

"You were the best singer tonight. You deserve it all, baby!" judge Jackson told Sparks.

"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.

"I would say the best individual performance of the night was Blake on the first song," Cowell said. "But, based on overall singing - Jordin."

"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."
