`Tattoo` (CD single)

- Genre: Pop
Common Sense Media says
Idol winner falls flat on her 1st pop song.

QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this American Idol winner delivers a decent first single about love and getting out of it when the time is right. The lyrics and message are tame -- if not lame -- and fine for all ages.
What's the story?
There's a reason why Jordin Sparks won the American Idol title: She's a talented singer with a lot of passion. Unfortunately, most of that passion is missing in TATTOO, the first single off her first album. The lyrics tell of love and longing, with words that are fine for any age.
Is it any good?
The generic synthesized background beat and random yelping seem odd and out of place against Sparks' pleasant-enough voice, making the song just fall flat. And lyrics like "You're on my heart just like a tattoo/Just like a tattoo/I'll always have you" just add to the blah factor. Let's hope the rest of her album allows this songstress to live up to her potential.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about working hard to keep what you have. American Idol gave Sparks her start, but it doesn't guarantee her future. Kids, what does it take to do well on your own, and does Sparks have enough talent and strength to stand strong?

not as bad as csm says...
Even though this is Jordin's first song, I think she did fine with it. It's already made it on the hits list, and I really like the beat and Jordin has a good voice.

Sparks gets tattoed to the hits single chart
Jordon is a very tlanted young lady. She can sing therefore Blake should have one. Anyway singing the Nationl Anthem at the SuperBowl is sweet.

I love the song but........
I really like the song. It has a good beat, good lyrics, and is clean.
What else could you ask for???? On my feeling on Sparks and her music in genral????? Well, I'm not really sure if I like her yet. But if she keeps what she has going then she will be a very succesful singer.
