Very impressed with this cd! For being a dance cd, I was sure it would be worse than it actually was! The only questionable track is "shy boy", but she just mentions being at a club, and THAT'S IT!! Amazing, right?

What Parents Need to Know
About Jordin Sparks
Parents need to know that the lyrics on this American Idol winner's album are fine for any age. Most of the songs are about love, longing, and heartache -- emotions that many tweens and teens haven't fully experienced yet, so they may not be able to relate to all the songs. For the most part, the CD offers decent, danceable music from a talented singer.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what it takes for a teen to balance a demanding music career with other parts of her life such as family and school. Did you watch American Idol? How do you think the experience of winning Idol would change a teen's life, and how do you think you would handle such an experience if you were in Jordin's place? Families can also talk about the theme of the songs, such as love and heartache -- can you relate to what Jordin is singing about? Do you feel you've experienced the emotions she talks about in the songs? Do you feel she does a good job of conveying those emotions?

Ok Cd for 8+
Nothing bad except Shy Boy, which talks about going to a club and eying a guy. Her faith is shown on the song God loves ugly Fav song: Permanent Monday

A positive idol

Slick and polished R&B belted out by youngest AI winner
Sexual Content: Mostly sweet and poetic songs about love without being excplicit. "If I die before I wake, it's because you took my breath away" is as bad as it gets. Violence: Not an issue. Language: Not an issue. Social Behaviour: Good stuff about love and life. "My soul is in danger gotta let my spirit be free" in "Tattoo" and positive messages about following your dreams in "One Step in a Time". Commercialism: Not an issue. Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco: Not an issue. Jordin Sparks on for 12+ for brief sexual allusions. Best "idol" album in a long while. Standout tracks include "Tattoo", "No Air", "Freeze", "Next to You", and "Shy Boy".
