American Idle

It sounds like Jordin Sparks is about to join Britney Spears on the second leg of her American tour, which hits cities near you. Spears is traveling in support of her newest album “Circus” and it’s selling out like crazy everywhere she goes.

Getting this kind of support should do good things for Sparks’ career.

Sparks continues to go out on tour, which is more than what I can say for other former Idol winners. She has been all over the world in the past year, and so her career is right where it needs to be.

Sparks will open for Spears during the U.S. stops on the tour only, but it’s still a good thing for the pop sensation. For Spears, it probably adds some class and some character to her tour.

Here are the deets from PR Newswire:

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire/ — Platinum-selling 19 Recordings/Jive Records artist Jordin Sparks will join “The Circus Starring Britney Spears” as special guest on the second North American leg of the tour. Sparks will perform on the U.S. portion of the trek including dates in New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Detroit, Chicago and more before concluding on September 26 & 27 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV. Previously announced opening act Kristinia DeBarge will join the tour for all dates; while up-and-coming acts Girlicious and One Call will appear in select cities (see full details below). For tickets, VIP packages and detailed tour information, fans should visit www.britneyspears.com or http://aeglive.com/.

19-year old star Jordin Sparks rose to fame in 2007 when she became the youngest contestant ever to win American Idol. She performed the national anthem to an audience of nearly 100 million viewers at Super Bowl XLII, and was named Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist at the American Music Awards. Her current sophomore album, Battlefield, is in stores now and features the title track as Sparks’ latest single. Her previous release, Jordin Sparks, featured platinum-certified Top 10 single, “Tattoo,” and smash hit single “No Air.”

“Britney’s show is incredible and for me to be a part of it is a great opportunity,” said Sparks.
