Jordin Sparks
年龄: 17岁 黑人女高中生。是“美国偶像”冠军得主，“美国偶像”是中国超女等选秀节目的鼻主。
出生地: Glendale, AZ

在她会说话之前, Jordin 的歌声就频频出现在电视和广播里, 三岁的时候就在她妈妈的磁带里清脆放音. 在小学时她用厨房当排练室，站在橱柜上练声，初中时在教堂唱诗班唱歌, 并乐此不疲。
当Jordin的爸爸在纽约巨人和达拉斯牛仔队踢足球时，他的职业让她有了更适合与公众和媒体接触的机会。
闯荡在全美数年，她的父母让她在各种场合抛头露面，包括百老汇表演，她意识到作为一个小女孩，应当在舞台上表现。
当她爸爸从NFL退休，她的家庭在菲尼克斯区安定下来，Jordin更频繁地在教堂、学校、各社交场所。在她12岁时，也就是2002年，她获得了“亚利桑那州新星”，它是由可口可乐赞助的。后来陆续又有很多挖星的比赛跟风，她声名鹊起，还为菲尼克斯太阳队唱歌。

2006年九月，她陆续赢得了“亚利桑那偶像”，“西雅图偶像”，接着在那里获得了“美国偶像”的桂冠。该届“美国偶像”是福克斯电视台举办的第六季

There was a time I packed my dreams away. 曾经一度，我将梦想收起搁浅
Living in a shell, hiding from myself. 生活在一个壳中，不断自我逃避
There was a time when I was so afraid. 曾经一度，我是如此畏惧
I thought I’d reached the end, 以为自己走到尽头
Baby that was then 宝贝那已是过去
I am made of more than my yesterdays. 我已在每一天中超越过去
This is my now,  我已如今，
and I am breathing in the moment. 呼吸着这一刻的空气
As I look around 当我环顾周围
I can’t believe the love I see. 感动于我才发现的这些难以置信的爱
My fears behind me, 将我的畏惧抛在脑后，
gone are the shadows and doubts 与那些阴影和怀疑一起消失
That was then, this is my now. 往事已去，我已如今
Had to decide 不得不选择
was I going to play it safe 是保守求全
or look somewhere deep inside 还是向更深处发掘
try to turn the tide 试着去力挽狂澜
and find the strength to take that step of faith 找到那力量来抓住命运的脚步
This is my now,  我已如今，
and I am breathing in the moment. 呼吸着这一刻的空气
As I look around 当我环顾周围
I can’t believe the love I see. 感动于我才发现的这些难以置信的爱
My fears behind me, 将我的畏惧抛在脑后，
gone are the shadows and doubts 与那些阴影和怀疑一起消失
That was then, this is my now. 往事已去，我已如今
And I have the courage like never before, yeah. 我已满怀从未有过的信心
I’ve settled for less 我已勉强接受了少些，
but I’m ready for more, 但更为更多而做好准备
Ready for more.
This is my now. 我已如今
I am living in the moment. 活在当下的每一刻
As I look around 当我环顾周围
I can’t believe the love I see. 感动于我才发现的这些难以置信的爱
My fears behind me, 将我的畏惧抛在脑后，
gone are the shadows and doubts 与那些阴影和怀疑一起消失
That was then, this is my now. 往事已去，我已如今
am breathing in the moment. 呼吸着这一刻的空气
As I look around 当我环顾周围
I can’t believe the love I see. 感动于我才发现的这些难以置信的爱
My fears behind me, 将我的畏惧抛在脑后，
gone are the shadows and doubts 与那些阴影和怀疑一起消失
That was then, this is my now. 往事已去，我已如今
This is my now. 我已如今
