Jordin Sparks on American Idol: The Davids are Goliaths

Posted at April 4th, 2008 2:28 pm

Like an endorsement for Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton from Al Gore, the support of Jordin Sparks should mean a lot to this year’s American Idol finalists.

With that in mind, the two heavy favorites - David Cook and David Archuleta - should rest easy tonight.

“I really like Jason Castro,” Sparks told MTV News from the orange carpet at last weekend’s Kids’ Choice Awards. “I like his look, and I love his vulnerability. He goes out there, and if he messes up, he’s just like, ‘Oops.’

But I like David Cook too. I think the guys are where it’s at this year. I love you, girls — please don’t get me wrong — and I could be totally wrong, because the show is so unpredictable.”

Come on now, Jordin, pick a winner.

“It’s going to be either David Archuleta or David Cook,” she said, before sating that she ultimately believes David Cook will be America’s next Idol.

We hope she’s right!
