Jordin may need prayer

Oooh... Jordin Sparks is going to sing "Livin' on a Prayer." Not sure she can pull it off - but then again, she's managedto pull everything off, with the exception of that Gwen stefani song a few weeks back - still don't think it was that great. But anyway, I cringed a little at her first comments to Jon Bon Jovi and David Bryan - she totally dated herself and them. She says to them as she walks into the room, "Oh my God... my mom is gonna flip out." I mean, c'mon. Bon Jovi is not that old yet.

She then says in her interview that her mom grew up on Bon Jovi - how young must her mother be? Or maybe the better question is... how old am I getting? "Slippery When Wet" is the first album I ever owned - I still have the record (not a CD) at home - my sister bought it for my 10th birthday, I think... so it must have been like 1987. So, I feel like I grew up on Bon Jovi. If her mom grew up on them, too, then she can't be much older... yikes...

Well, Jon Bon Jovi doesn't seem comvinced that Jordin can pull off the song - he says it's a very difficult one to sing. I agree - especially for a female voice. There are some really low notes in there and I'm a little concerned that they're going to take away from the power of her voice. Apparently that's Bon Jovi's concern too and he changes the melody a little bit so that she doesn't have to go down that low. I think the changes will make it much easier for her to blow the audience away as she has been the past few weeks.

Huh... I don't know. The verses are a little rough... Chorus is a little better, but it just sounds kind of choppy to me. I still love her voice, but I don't think this was the best choice for her.

Randy says it was interesting and also mentions that the verses were a little rough... and Jordin agrees. He says that when she hit the first low note, he felt like she knew it wasn;t good and addsthat it wasn't her best. Paula says a bunch of nonsensical things and Simon tells her that her look is like something out of the Addams family. I actually liked her look - even the big hair, but I can see how he may think it's not fitting. I mean, it's not like Bon Jovi is hard-core. He then tells her that her singing was just out of control - verging on shrieking at times. He finishes by telling her it was terrible.
