Sparks is on tour with Alicia Keys despite a brief respite because of some vocal problems. At a recent Southern California show, she sounded just fine, and she says Keys is the kind of performer she aspires to be.
"It's exciting to be on tour with someone I admire so much. She's a great singer, a great writer and performer. That's what I want to turn into. I'm definitely going to write more for my next record and show a lot of growth. After all, I'm still really young, you know?"

Since her crowning moment, Jordin has enjoyed a top 10 album and two top 10 singles, including “No Air,” her smash duet with Chris Brown, who was “awesome” to work with. And Rihanna better watch out because it “wasn’t very hard to act like I was in love with him.”
“He was really cool and very cute,” Jordin says. “It was very easy actually. It was a lot of fun.”
The two had such a blast that they’re thinking of working together again. “We were actually talking about maybe writing something together and doing future collaborations,” she says. “I don't know when we're going to have time to do that.”
