i think jif you listen to the album jordin psarks you will find that the songs which jordin sparks has decide to do the clips are not the greatest songs in her album i can say that (freeze) is mush better than (tattoo or even no air) and all the songs are good and deserve to be listened
but i think the problemme was that jordin sparks did not do the right choices marketing her album

and for me jordin sparks album is better than a looooot of albums in 2007 and 2008 i can say that jordin spark is the top 10 albums
and i give hem 8/10

This album is too plain. Non of the songs in this album impresses me. It is not going to sell well.

I actually love this album. I think it’s one of the best debuts by an idol. My favorite song is probably, “One Step At A Time.” Her vocals are great and the songs are catchy. (“Shy Boy” “No Air”) Some are absolutely beautiful. (“Freeze” “Permanent Monday” “God Loves Ugly” “Worth The Wait”) I like all of the songs aside from “This Is My Now.”

I don’t know about the cover though, it really doesn’t look like her. I honestly hoped she would’ve been smiling, the cover is odd for me. However, I love the picture on the back, as well as the ones inside.

i do agree about the album artwork – it doesn’t fit the songs. but i do like the songs, a lot. at first when i heard them, they sounded very similar but now they are all really different sounding to me. i love ‘em all but i’m not 100% crazzy about “young & in love” or “see my side”. but occasionally i do get in the mood to listen to them. i think my favorite song on the album (other than tattoo) is “worth the wait” – the bonus track. the song is very jordin to me and i like how she expressed herself in that song. :)

oh and, freeze is very good – i agree garry.
and i also agree about the “creative freedom” on the 1st album. carries was great and i can’t wait to hear jordin’s second with more songs hopefully like “worth the wait”

You know, I must say that I wasn’t impressed with Tattoo when it first came out but it grew on me, the album has good songs, but if she was to preform these songs as she did on Idol.. I wouldn’t vote for her as much as I did.. I’ve met Jordin, shes one of the sweetest people in the world, I think a sophomore album will be better, she will have more creative control over the 2nd album, no idol has any control over there first album, Kelly Clarkson’s first album wasn’t that great actually.. but her second album was the best.. the only Idol winner who did good with there first album was Carrie… Taylor Hick is a totally different kind of music compared to Jordin so I do not believe its fair to compare them. They marketed her wrong, I wish she would have lost.. so she could have did more with the album.. Like Blake, I look for his album to SORE over Jordin’s.. but everyone should still listen to Freeze.

I agree with Jean. Having a more youthful album cover would definitely increase sales. She looks like Mariah Carey in that photo for pete’s sake!

I didn’t say the album is dreck, I have not heard anything but the released single. I believe it is aimed at a younger than normal AI crowd, that is all. I just don’t believe the cover art matches the intended audience.

Sheesh, so many spelling errors inthe first post. Too many to correct, just ignore.

I agree linda – the album is pure dreck. Appealing to the average 12 year old. Certainly no one with any musical taste would sit through this garbage. Serves AI right for pimping her. She will now be the sole owner of the worst AI winner ever!!!! LOL…….
