Jordin Puts The Sparks Into Her Battlefield Tour: An Opening Show Review

Jordin's pizazz filling the space!
Jordin puts the sparks into her Battlefield Tour with a breath of fresh air. In 2007, at the age of 16, she was the youngest winner of American Idol (season 6), and has since proven that American Idol and the public has made the right choice. She captivates and intrigues her audiences, as she ushers unique styles vocally and emotionally, which is her main intent over her sex appeal, which cannot be denied. Jordin is a symbol of versatility, driven by her look into her soul, diverse range and angelic tone, authentic technique, memorable smile and charisma, and always prioritizing for her fans.

Perlman PR was in attendance at the launching of her Battlefield Tour, on the evening of June 10th at Nokia Theatre in Times Square, NYC. The 24-city tour runs through July 16th, mostly in major cities from NYC to Orlando to Dallas, and from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, amongst others. She seldom takes a breath, being that another performance is set for almost every day, but yet perceives it with confidence as she takes One Step At A Time. Her album, Battlefield, was her second release, following in the fame garnered by her self-titled U.S. platinum first album, Jordin Sparks. Battlefield achieved placement on the Top 10 of Billboard's Top 200 albums chart. Previously, she achieved 3 Billboard Top 5 pop hits from her first album, including Tattoo, No Air, and One Step At A Time, which were incorporated into her tour.

As the doors of Nokia Theatre opened, the crowds poured in, filling up the spectacularly illuminated auditorium-style and standing room space, more or less to the brim. A number of young pop singers opened for Jordin Sparks. Although all talented and entertaining in their own way, the audience's cheer expressed how Jordin was the light at the end of the tunnel, and well-worth the long wait. Her hour-length performance slot resembled a novel, with each number rich in chapter. Some memorable numbers included Battlefield, Watch You Go, Emergency, Don't Let It Go To Your Head, No Parade, and S.O.S. (Let The Music Play). It Takes More was one such number that boasted her genuine high notes. The conclusive number was No Air, where the audience replaced Chris Brown's role, having the ability to lend a breath and evoking a harmonious chorus.

According to the June 9th NY Daily News, Jordin stated the following in anticipation of her opening show: "It's awesome to be able to say this is my show now. People are coming to see me, and I'm really excited; it's really great to be back in New York."

Jordin Sparks may have been a final act of the evening, but cast a lasting impression upon an audience that extended beyond the typical pop scene, and makes one ponder what's next in line for the star. Don't let your guard down!

A high note!
