Jordin Wins American Idol
Thursday, May 24, 2007
After a record 74 million votes were cast, Jordin Sparks was crowned the newest American Idol. The 17-year-old beat out 25-year-old beat boxer Blake Lewis for the title. The announcement came at the very end of a two-hour, star-studded finale, which featured performances by Bette Midler, Gwen Stefani, Smokey Robinson, and Gladys Knight. All of the former "Idol" winners (except Fantasia) were in house and performed for the packed house.
The show won the night with an 11.5 rating but was significantly down (19%) from last year's finale. This year's finale just did not seem as special as years past. The Idol contestants just weren't as good this year. Plus, the extravaganza "Idol Gives Back" show a couple weeks ago seemed to still some of the thunder from the finale. It's hard to top an over-the-top show a few weeks later.
