Does anyone else feel like this movie has had no promo at all? You'd think they'd milk the s**t out of it since it's Whitney's last movie and all. I have seen a few television ads for it. It comes out in about 3 weeks from now so there is time for them to step it up.

They should send "Love Will" to Urban AC to try to build up more of an urban following for her.

Jordin talks about her next album! She says she hopes for a fall release date, but isn't sure with filming/promo. She wants to go "lite R&B"-- think "early Mariah." She has 7 or 8 songs done for the album but doesn't want to rush it. www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/w...terial-20120803

I don't even think the label knows what IAW was for, lol. I believe at the time she said she'd only recorded a few songs anyway, and she wanted to put something out to tide the fans over while she continued working on the album. Then it never got a video or other performance outside of Idol, so I don't know if they ever really expected much or if they were just testing a new direction for her or what. Nvmd, Shooter would know more than me. But shortly after that she got the role in and filmed Sparkle, and Jive got dissolved which pretty much pushed everyone on that label back - and honestly when that much time has passed it's probably a good idea to step back and recalibrate, anyway. If what she recorded before sounds dated or otherwise out of place on any format now there's no point in keeping it. She just did an interview with PrideSource and she says: I'm working on it now. I've got about seven songs that I'm really feeling strongly about. "Sparkle" is actually giving me the opportunity to do something stylistically different than I did before, so it's going to be a little more R&B. Early Mariah, early Whitney is what I'm going for. That's what I grew up on. So I'm excited to do that.www.pridesource.com/article.html?article=54905I do remember that she was working wiith John Legend on the early stuff so if the r&b thing is any indication she may have kept some of that. I'm sure she's recorded more than just seven songs by now, though. And FWIW when I think of early Mariah/Whitney I think of songs that are actually fairly pop friendly anyway, so I'm thinking she is going in the direction of uptempo dance pop with big vocals (probably not electronic) and the requisite midtempo ballads...not that much different from her first two albums, basically, just that the uptempo stuff will (hopefully) be stronger than SOS and IAW. I would love it if she actually did lean more r&b but she doesn't have a core there (and expecting Sparkle to magically create a sizable one for her is foolhardy) and that would almost be anathema for CHR right now so it's hard for me to believe she'll go too far in the r&b direction.

She better bring it with this album. She's never been an album artist as far as the public is concerned so she will need multiple large-sized hits to match the debut's success.

A great behind the scenes look at Sparkle. Jordin is a natural in front of the camera!

People Magazine gave the soundtrack a 3 star review (out of 4) and had a full page photo of Jordin in her red sparkle gown. The review had nothing but great things to say about Jordin, citing "One Wing" and "Celebrate" as the strongest songs on the soundtrack (they liked "I'm a Man" as well). But, they said that Carmen "lacked sparkle" and that Whitney's "Eye on the Sparrow" was disappointing.

last weeks soundtrack sales . this weeks numbers should be better since the sales have picked up since Sparkle opened on Friday . it was an amazing movie as well. Jordin's song One Wing is certainly the highlight. content.usatoday.com/communities/id.../1#.UDJjK6PNlM4Soundtrack, Sparkle (7,000, -38%, 19,000) (#44 BB200)

Jordin was on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier tonight promoting Sparkle. Nice to see her out and about, plus she talked a little bit her & Jason Derulo's 1-year anniversary as well as still being the youngest Idol winner to date.
I know the film fell out of the Top10 in its second week (due to 3 new releases: Hit and Run Premium Rush and Obama's 2016.), but it managed to get #11. Hopefully word of mouth will keep it (and maybe push it back into the #10 spot) in theaters. Last I heard it got a Cinemascore of an "A" from exit polling which usually means a longer than expected theatrical run.

Sparkle ended up making just about 25 mill in the US it's int release hasn't generated big business either. I think it's WW run will only make it to 25.5 mill. With a budget of 11-14 mill after DVD sales Sparkle will eaisly make back it's budget. I've read you have to make back double your budget in order to start making a profit. It wasn't a huge flop when you consider how much it cost to make and promote the movie..

She's supposed to be on The Wendy Williams Show with her boyfriend, Jason Derulo, on Wednesday (Nov. 28).
Nice to know the album's coming soon!

Lol "boyfriend" DeRulo. She feels secure with that promise ring, doesn't she? In one interview, she said something to the effect of her not being able to guarantee it won't come off before she's married (i.e. Jason's getting in them panties sooner than later).
