Jordin Sparks Reveals Her New Body and New Anthem 'I Am Woman' -- Exclusive Interview You may still picture Jordin Sparks as the fresh-faced, youngest-ever 'American Idol' champ at age 17. Five years later, Jordin lays her signature powerhouse vocals over a new dance anthem 'I Am Woman,' establishing the superstar's new, mature sound and evolved image -- an image that includes Sparks' newly svelte figure after losing 30-pounds. But the chart-topping singer isn't entirely all grown up. She will hold onto her youth and her love for the boy-band era this summer when she opens for New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys on their NKOTBSB tour. AOL Music caught up with Jordin to get the details of her drastic body makeover, her crush on actor Jake Gyllenhaal and how she's working her tush off including choreography in her performance for the first time in her career. Read the interview and hear the full song HERE: blog.music.aol.com/2011/05/05/jordin-sparks-i-am-woman-interview/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeedI Am Woman is co-written and produced by Ryan Tedder. |

Sounds like something you'd hear at the end of some cheap movie that only made $30 million at the box office.

Holy hot mess. I'd take it one step further, B4L--this is the kind of song you hear before the cheap movie that makes $30 million, like when all the lame trivia questions and senior citizen resorts ads play.
In the first few seconds, it sounded so...I don't know, I thought it was going to be really different and interesting. And then the shitty production comes in. And that stilettos line is just atrocious.

This is just horrid. She'd have a better shot at getting a hit by releasing a Tedder ballad rather than this mess. She clearly has no identity and has no idea where she's going with her music. And that stilettos line is just atrocious. Dumb+Dumb=Jordin LMAOOOO. |

The beginning of the song is the best part. The rest is okay. It sounds dated, but it's catchy enough. The verses and bridge are terrible though.

Doesn't matter if you like it or not or the lyrics. It's catchy and something radio will add. I personally don't like it but I can't deny that it has hit potential.

I don't think it really has hit potential though. I don't think it's catchy, I think it's messy. It has a weird, static sound. It's just sort of...noisy.

I quite like it, I think it can do well. Not as well as her previous lead singles though. Hopefully the album will have some big hits on it. Can't wait for her album to drop :)

So was she trying to release a worse version of RTW? Because she did. |

Terrible song. By far the worst single she's ever released IMO. And yes, even worse than RTW. lol

Overdone/predictable theme. Messy/dated production. Standard Jordin Sparks single.
I imagine this will be her last album.

This is another Tedder song? Is it possible for him to do a song that doesn't have to repeat a line in the chorus? It isn't overdone in this song like in some of his other songs but it is still there.
There is some weird effect on her voice that is quite awful and not necessary. She can sing so lay off a bit, will ya? The beginning is just odd and out of place. It could be cut off and would have absolutely no effect.

I was a big fan of her during her first two albums, but this is pretty weak. Disappointed. She's a lot better than this. Tedder did a terrible job with both this and David Cook's lead single. Either he has a thing against idols, or he's going downhill. |

LOL Cause I would point to his work with Adele and his own band OneRepublic as proof that he can still write and produce great music. Maybe he just saves the good stuff for certain artists. |

Asides from these two all of his OneRepublic material is better. This is so bad, dated mess. It was nice knowing you Jordin. She is so over. |

That's right forgot his contributions to Adele's album. That and Bleeding Love and Halo are the only good things he has done outside of One Republic.
