Jordin Sparks Channels Beyonce On ‘Idol’

Published: Friday 13th May 2011 by Sam

American Idol alum Jordin Sparks is all grown up, and wants to make sure you know it.

Rocking a new slimline figure, the season 6 winner returned to the Idol stage last night to make an emphatic statement with a live showing of new single ‘I Am Woman’.

Weave-tossing, hip-shaking, and Naomi Campbell walking, Sparks’ performance seemed quite familiar.

See for yourself after the jump…

Clearly, someone has been watching ‘The Beyonce Experience’. Not that there should be any shame in Sparks’ game; for, to be the best, you have to study the best.

However, having still not established an image or lane for herself musically, the 21 year must ensure she does so with this latest project. Because after the sales of ‘Battlefield’ (180,000 in the US… to date), I’m shocked there’s a new project to begin with.

Your thoughts?

  5. Sarin May 13, 2011

    Lol, JS is talented, but what a s*** song.

  6. ……. May 13, 2011

    Jordin’s performance wasn’t all that. And Sam, you think Beyonce invented being s*** fierce? Beyonce does it well though, I’ll give you that.

    @Stonie Brie Sit b****! I dont see anybody trying to be ur fav or anybody else since THE QUEEN stepped on the scene. THE QUEEN is inspiring bishes left and right, thats a true icon. Anyway i love Jordan and her voice is made for high power ballads and i like the performance.

  10. Aryo May 13, 2011

    this performance was way better than rihanna’s CKB performance!

  12. Damn Right May 13, 2011

    Alexandra Burke aint even that popular in the UK. She’s had what, 3 singles. All of which have been pure pop s***, not even commercial r&b. She sucks. She ain’t taking anyone’s wigs.

    Jordin rocks – simples.

  13. KAT DELUNA FAN May 13, 2011

    @BROWNGIRL
    You forgot Rigoat.They all study from THE QUEEN :TAMAR RIHANNA ALEXANDRA even NICKI TRY TO RECREATE THE CATER 2 U LAPDANCE AND FAIL EACH TIME

    JORDIN DID GREAT AS BEYONCE W/ A BEYONCE SOUNDING SONG

  14. MISHKA May 13, 2011

    Sam, the shade is unnecessary when someone HONESTLY tries, you know.

    She has a beautiful voice, se can sing live and stays on key and she’s really pretty . I’m glad she doesn’t shy away from chanelling The Queen Bey because she got what it takes to go near there.

    So, kudos to you Jordin, keep up the good work. I’m rooting for you.

  15. SipDatBoyz May 13, 2011

    Yas Jordin..give it to em!

  16. Selita May 13, 2011

    That was Amazing!!!…I was watchin lastnight.It’s now #40 on iTunes.

  17. lost1wons May 13, 2011

    it’s too Repetitive. the hook is, just like Beyonce’s RunTHisWorld too too repetive with all that shouting……what’s wrong with rnb females song writing skills/lyrical content these dayz??? They need to go and hire song writers from the 60s and 70s, or find someone from Motown, hell Smokey Robinson is still alive, maybe go to Babyface. Hell, I dont think no other female from rNb/pop genre will get it right from this generation. But I’ll keep checkin.

  18. MichelleWFan May 13, 2011

    I’m sick and tired of everything always being attached to Beyonce F****** Knowles !!
    I didn’t see ANYTHING that made me think of her … NOTHING ! Besides the fact she’s somewhat dancing and she’s a woman !
    DANG LEAVE US ALONE CUZ YALL REALY TRYNA MAKE ME HATE HER !!!!!!!

  19. Low May 13, 2011

    I feel like I’m listening to a little girl. And the performance was everything but professional. She needs to get a better team.

  20. Scott May 13, 2011

    Sit down Dame Right Alexandra is popular in England and Europe she has had 5 top 10 hits and 3 No 1s.Jordins vocals are on point but she is not a natural performer which is what Alex is.Alex has a track with Swizz Beatz coming out and she will be snatching wigs.

  21. GLYNNTALE May 13, 2011

    am sorry, that was allllll beyonce. create ur own art, dont be a copy-cat.

    end off!

  22. MissImpartial May 13, 2011

    There was nothing Beyonce about this performance. Just because she is singing and daincing does not mean she is trying to be Beyonce. And Beyonce is not the only one who can sing a female anthems. People like Shania Twain-I feel like a Woman, Aretha Natural woman and many more did way before her. It was a great performance and very energetic. She is my favourite winner of the show. She has great talent and hope this time she is more successful. I liked her last album singles.

  23. KAT DELUNA FAN May 13, 2011

    CHERYL COLE IS ALSO TRYING TO BE BEYONCE

    WHY DONT U THINK THEY ARE GIVING HER THE MILLENIUM AWARD FOR? SHE IS AN INSPIRATION

  24. XXOO May 13, 2011

    WOW, she did an amazing job! Love I Am Woman

  25. THE UNDISPUTED QUEEN OF POP May 13, 2011

    LMFAO@Aryo GIRL BYE! U dont have nothing to show me hunnie. BEYONCE IS THE REINING QUEEN OF MUSIC! ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC PERFORMER OF ALL TIME! THE QUEEN OF THE STAGE! WHO DONT WANT TO BE LIKE HER? I Bet ur fav do! **BEGONE BISH** @Michellewfan Girl because she is the past, the present and the future! WHY U MAD?

  26. gha May 13, 2011

    i love the performance , and its an amazing song , love it

    dont be a hater , shes doing good music , her last album was GREAT , loved it , cant wait for her next :)))
    ,
    it was S*** and sassy and the girl had the swagger !!

  27. Aaron May 13, 2011

    i like Jordin.. she seems to be a sweet girl… but she makes some awful song choices.. for a cd full of 13 or so songs, one might be good. I’m glad she’s stepping it up performance wise though.. she needs a little polishing but hopefully she will get there..

  28. Dave May 13, 2011

    It was ok. She may have copied, but not a good copy. It seemed a bit slacking, & robotic.

  29. The G-List Society May 13, 2011

    Stop hating on Jordin…she needs to do more performances like this. I thought this was GREAT for her because she comes across as boring and too sweet. Congratulations, Jordin, for stepping up your game.

  30. uhh May 13, 2011

    @ arroyo what does this have to do with Rihanna. Rihanna was singing a ballad so what do you want her to do shake it up to a song about a king sized bed? You sound so ridiculous. Some of you all can’t keep rihanna out of your mouth.

  31. queenbey will always s*** on ur fave and leave them no option but 2 pout May 13, 2011

    Im sorry but this girl is a f***** flop. She need 2 go 2 da disney network and ask if she can do High School Musical Revamped bcuz her music career is goin no where fast!!!!!!

  32. Ariana May 13, 2011

    Relax Sam. Do you seriously think that everyone’s checking on Beyoncé? She’s clearly a very influential artist but it’s not like everyone is trying to emulate her. SMH

  33. MARQUESTQ May 13, 2011

    GUESS THAT VIRGIN THING DIDN’T WORK OUT FOR HER HUH

  34. True Blue May 13, 2011

    Inspired by Beyoncé or not (and if she is, it should obviously be taken as a compliment), this performance wasn’t very good. It seems like she’s trying to be this person she really isn’t. Looks a bit forced.

    @ Stoney- Brie:

    Exactly the same could be said for pretty much every artist of this generation. Nobody is original in the sense of coming up with anything new, so originality these days is taking from whomever inspires you and making it your own. I’m sure if you have a fave artist from this era, they’re probably no less of “copycats” than Beyoncé is.

  35. True Blue May 13, 2011

    * of a copycat.

  36. Romeo May 13, 2011

    Jordin did an amazing job especially considering all the past music she has sung before. She now has an uptempo/midtempo song and has the body to be dancing and running around on stage and she did it up! She did a GREAT job and has the type of voice to pretty much sing anything. The performance was probably inspired by Beyonce but this song is MUCH better than “Run The World (Girls)” it was AWESOME!

  37. mobwife….”no, she aint you”!! May 13, 2011

    I don’t like this song but she did a great job. I don’t know if there was a video lag or if she was singing over a track as there seems to be a disconnect between her lips and the video feed! LOL 🙂

    In any event, she looks FABULOUS GET IT JORDAN!!

  38. SHESDUMB May 13, 2011

    just 180k to date?

    WOWWW

  39. TerenceBarber May 13, 2011

    I’m more than impressed with this performance !!! She put so much effort and energy into it. Amazing 🙂

  40. aisha May 13, 2011

    and this is like B how? other than that, dumb song, child, u should b embarassed performing this… sit.

  41. Kristi May 13, 2011

    This is the only reason I watched Idol this season, looooove Jordin and it was her first time performing the song live so she’ll get better.

  42. TaTa May 13, 2011

    If Beyonce single handedly wrote, produced all of her songs and made up all of her choreography alone she and stans would be able to lay clain to her being copied.

    She doesn’t so they don’t.

  43. C May 13, 2011

    Come on Jordin no! Alexandra or Alesha Dixon will snatch your wig so don’t bring this to the UK.

  44. B. Suga May 13, 2011

    This song is blah. Jordin can sing but this wasn’t it. Her dancing leaves much to be desired. And if you’re gonna sing about stompin in stiletos, wear STILETTOS not wedges. I can’t rock with this song. Sorry Jordin.

  45. LONDON GOT SOUL… May 13, 2011

    o no honey. dont say she channel her inner beyonce. when she really channel her inner solonge. i exspected so much more. ima need yall to get it together. cus that dam sure wasnt no B.

  46. JER May 13, 2011

    ???? How is singing a song about being female empowerment “Channeling Beyonce” lmfao. The desperation reaches new heights. Because everyone knows BeYAWNce was the first person to ever empower women.

  47. NICK May 13, 2011

    I think it was cute, BUT NOT for a good comeback, BUT def cute-I liked it…SHE DID A GOOD JOB!!!!

  48. TeamBreezy Bish May 13, 2011

    Beyonce can keep all that weave flippin n hip shakin…Jordin can ACTUALLY sing!!

  50. CURLY SUE May 13, 2011

    JORDIN HAS A PRETTY VOICE BUT SHE DOES NOTHING FOR ME. SHE’S SUCH A PRUDE. I HATED HOW SHE USED TO SHOVE HER CELIBATE BELIEFS DOWN PEOPLES THROATS. MM HMM SHE LOST A FEW LBS AND NOW SHE’S SEXING IT UP. I SEE YOU HYPOCRITE!

  51. n May 13, 2011

  52. CW May 13, 2011

    #1 That performace was terrible.

    #2 That performance screamed beyonce wanna be.

    So Rihanna, Jordin Sparks . Alex Burke , Ashanti, and others, have all tried at times to mimic the QUEEN. And each time its and utter fail and disaster.

  53. Kathy May 13, 2011

    And if you’re gonna sing about stompin in stiletos, wear STILETTOS not wedges. Yessss.

    and CKB by Rihanna was better than this, emotionally. sorry.

  54. noodles May 13, 2011

    Jordin you better WERK!

    I liked the performance. I don’t know she seemed to boost more confidence. She better get it!

    All the shade isn’t neccessary let her do her thing I like her she is sweet and talented 😀

  55. Tr May 14, 2011

    Exactly!! For all the talk of her copying that other girl, at the end of the day, Jordin can get by with her voice and not have to relay on as Sam put it: ‘Weave tossin’, hip-shakin, and Naomi Campbell walking’~~

  56. stan May 14, 2011

    the song sucks.

  57. Junior in Jamaica May 14, 2011

    I liked it 😉

  58. Cheers (Drink to That) May 15, 2011

    JORDIN HAS A PRETTY VOICE BUT SHE DOES NOTHING FOR ME. SHE’S SUCH A PRUDE. I HATED HOW SHE USED TO SHOVE HER CELIBATE BELIEFS DOWN PEOPLES THROATS. MM HMM SHE LOST A FEW LBS AND NOW SHE’S SEXING IT UP. I SEE YOU HYPOCRITE!

    ________________________________________________________________________

    EXACTLY! Jordin #SIT. If ur not gonna be urself!

  59. What channel? Change the da-mn channel please May 15, 2011

    Everyone’s channeling each other these days as artists…

    sometimes I think they’re one big a55 gumbo soup… so much mixing and sharing of each other.

    I’m singing acapella r&b

  60. BeeRoman May 16, 2011

  61. Jerri June 3, 2011

    What an amazing performance! I’ve been listening to “I Am Woman” over and over again on her website. Great song!! http://bit.ly/kU74KR

    Germany’s economy, Europe’s biggest, contracted by 5 percent last year, its worst performance since World War II. It has returned to modest growth, and is expected to expand about 1.5 percent this year.
