Reflection - Jordan Sparks

Let's continue on with American Idol week with a track from the most recent season of the popular show. JORDAN SPARKS was the youngest Idol winner when she won the sixth season contest at only 17 years old! Her singing was constantly good and she never landed in the bottom three for the entire season.

She has moved on to release her first album which was released a few months ago has already gone gold and her single, Tattoo, reached #8 on the US Hot 100 chart! Just like Ruban and Clay, Jordan is in a battle with runner up Blake Lewis to see who gets the most album sales and digital downloads.

Jordan's performance of Reflection was the second song she sang for the contest and was well liked by the judges.

Reflection - Kyrie Stern

I'm not a fan of Karaoke recordings. If you are going to cover a song then please do something with the song and make it your own!

I try not to post "Karaoke covers" here because there are so many other great cover songs that I can post. But today is Terrible Track Friday and I couldn't help but share this one with you.

I think that the most important thing about recording a "Karaoke cover" is that you must have a great voice, because without it you have nothing going for you. This is something that KYRIE STERN is having a bit of trouble with. She had a recording of Reflection up on her website for a while proving to the world that she isn't Christina Aguilera. It also shows that she didn't have the proper tools for recording otherwise she would have used a pitch corrector. The moment that she belt out Who is that girl I see I had to turn it off.

But what about the rest of her music? I must point out that with a little bit of studio time and production Kyrie Stern is really good! Check out her myspace and listen to the tracks Three Days and All I Do. They are great tracks. I'm glad she took this one off her site. It wasn't doing her any good.
