American singers have always been Idols.
American Idol looks for untapped talent to bring into the twenty-first century music world. Fans of olden days kept their radios at home tuned in to hear their idols' songs after watching them perform in movies. Back then you had to have a gift for stardom to get to stardom. Jordin Sparks shows a rare quality in contemporary artists that has been lacking since Elvis stepped into the spotlight on the Ed Sullivan show and her voice gives me the same goose bumps that Jeannette MacDonald and Patsy Cline gave me when I first heard them sing. Take this song for example by Jean MacDonald. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes was her hit and the Platters brought it back out. Give it to someone like Jordin Sparks and it will surely turn out to be a fine rendition of the two versions of the retro music world.
