Top 11 Performances: Jordin Sparks

Jordin is drama!

And she's also really good.

I love how Jordin can turn from a giggly 17-year old into a mature woman in the time it takes for them to air the pre-performance clip. She looked fantastic tonight (that straight hair and the black dress were really workin' for her) and she nailed this song, omitting any of the vocal wobbliness that has plagued some of her earlier performances.

On top of that she showed she could sing a song not featured in an animated movie. Nice work, Jordin!
