The verdict is out. Another season of the American Idol has ended, with Jordin Sparks becoming the youngest Idol in the show's history. The seventeen year old from Glendale, AZ became the sixth American Idol beating the only other contestant Blake Lewis. Jordin Sparks, the daughter of a former National Football League player, Phillippi Sparks, started singing as a toddler and auditioned for American Idol as soon as she could, after becoming eligible at the age of 16.
The two finalists embraced after host Ryan Seacrest announced the winner of the sixth season of the contest, with Sparks, dressed in a long, flowing gold gown, having difficulty catching her breath.
The star-studded event included performances by Gwen Stefani, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight and Green Day. Prince, Tony Bennett, Stevie Wonder and Mary J. Blige have also appeared on the show.
The Grand Finale also saw a record 74 million votes for the episode.
