Jordin Sparks Album sales: Her eponymous debut disc has sold 283,000 copies since Nov. 20, after starting with the lowest sales by far for an Idol winner. Track downloads: 1 million (567,000 for the single Tattoo). Radio airplay: Tattoo is No. 14 on the national all-format airplay chart, No. 8 in the top 40 format. Creative control: Jordan co-wrote one song on her album, par for the course for Idols, whose strong point is usually singing, not writing or producing. Reviews: Her unpretentious, age-appropriate pop sound has found favor with critics. Some grades: * * * out of four (USA TODAY); B+ (Entertainment Weekly); * * * 1/2 out of five (Rolling Stone). Promotional activities: Set to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. |

Blake Lewis Album sales: Audio Day Dream has sold 156,000 copies since Track downloads: 505,000 (34,000 for single Break Anotha). Radio airplay: Break Anotha hasn't hit the national chart but is close to entering the top 40 format chart. Creative control: Blake co-wrote all but one of the songs on his album, an unprecedented degree of involvement for an Idol. Reviews: His jittery blend of pop, hip-hop and beatboxing has met with a more mixed reaction. A sampling: * * 1/2 stars (USA TODAY); C (EW); * * * out of four (L.A. Times). Promotional activities: Playing a record release party tonight in his hometown of Seattle. |
滬江小編：第六季的《美國偶像》小編我是從海選一直看到?jīng)Q賽的。現(xiàn)在冠軍Jodin Sparks 和亞軍Blake Lewis都發(fā)行了各自的新專輯。Jodin 慘了點(diǎn)，雖然在比賽的時候票數(shù)一直很高，但是專輯出來后卻是目前為止歷屆冠軍中銷量最差的。Blake的B-Box讓他在眾多選手中脫穎而出，不過出了專輯也還是成績平平。其實(shí)第六季眾多選手中我最喜歡的是第三名的Melinda Doolittle，比較期待她的專輯。
