After a record 74 million votes, 17-year-old Jordin Sparks is Crowned  the new American Idol.  Sparks, beat out boxer Blake Lewis for the title. 

She has a beautiful voice.I remember,I really liked the way when she sang Tom Jones-“I (Who Have Nothing)”for her top 3 performance! It was her best performance.
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I’m just a no one,
With nothing to give you but Oh
I Love You

You, you buy her diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear when I say,
That she can give you the world,
But she’ll never love you the way
I Love You

She can take you anyplace she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
I Love You
I Love You
I Love You

With over 70 million votes yesterday,Ryan Seacrest and Ellen DeGeneres(live from Walt Disney’s Concert Hall) hosted today’s two-hour, star-studded results special for  ”Idol Gives Back”  that featured the remaining six American Idol finalists in a star-studded charity event to raise awareness and money to help less fortunate children in Africa and the United States.  

It was an exciting show for a good cause.The famous people contributing music  included Carrie Underwood  who sang “I’ll stand by you”,Rascal Flatts who  sang “My Wish”, l l Divo, Celine Dion and Annie Lennox .

My favorite-Josh Groban sang “You Raise me Up“.He was just amazing.

The Simpsons  with Simon was funny!

The final clip at the end was Bono who addressed the six remaining American Idol finalists about the work of the One: Campaign to Make Poverty History.
