Jordin put up a few new blogs on her cosmopolitan.com page.

"It was more like 9:30 p.m. when I got back to my hotel. It was still light outside and I was thrown off. But I had so much fun, and when I went to MuchMusic, they played my video during a commercial break. I turned around and had everyone start singing along...that was nice to hear. It's amazing that now people know the words to MY music. Life is definitely good."

"Touring is an amazing thing. It gives me the opportunity to travel across the country, see different places, encounter different people, and sing in front of you.

The last day of the tour was so crazy and such a huge blur. When we arrived at Madison Square Garden in New York, some of my biggest fans were waiting outside for me. After saying hello to them we headed to a radio meet and greet. The girls were dressed so cute! I was a little bit jealous."

"It was my second time at the BET Awards and I had just as much fun this year as I did last year. To be able to walk the red carpet with these stars who have been around so much longer than I have is amazing.

I wore a red cocktail dress from Dolce&Gabbana, Jimmy Choo heels, and Shizue jewelry. Let me just say, I thought my finger was gonna fall off with the ring I wore. I couldn't clap, I couldn't sign…it was ridiculous! But I loved it. I brought my brother, PJ, with me to the awards. We always have a good time together."

NEW YORK – As the hottest young stars of summer 2008, Jesse McCartney and 19 Entertainment/Jive Records recording artist Jordin Sparks will share the stage in a co-headlining tour "JESSE & JORDIN LIVE."  Both artists already share platinum-selling status and hit songs, with Jesse's "Leavin'" and Jordin's "Tattoo" and "No Air," her duet with pop star Chris Brown.  The North American tour will visit 16 major cities, kicking off in Sacramento, CA on August 5.

Jesse, now 21 years old, has transformed from the pop stardom of his teen years to solo success as a singer/songwriter on his newly released R&B-flavored album "Departure."  He also co-penned Leona Lewis' hit "Bleeding Love," now a #1 single worldwide.  Says Jesse, "Jordin has the most incredible voice.  She's one of those pure talents you don't see a lot of in this business.  I can't wait to get out there with her."  Previously a multiple winner of Teen Choice Awards, Jesse Is nominated this year for Choice Summer Song and Choice Artist, Male.

"No Air" is the focal point in this article from the Boston Globe today about duets past, present and future.

"Ever since their breakup, she's suffocating and he feels lost at sea. Both wonder how they're supposed to breathe without each other.

That's the musical question posed by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown in their current smash duet, "No Air." Hearing the intertwined voices - the anguish! the drama! - of these two teen soul-pop sensations is a reminder of previous hit duets throughout the years, when singers would come together to create a fusion either playful or romantic.

From Diana Ross and Lionel Richie rhapsodizing about "Endless Love" to Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder using the keys on the piano as a metaphor for racial harmony on "Ebony and Ivory," duets have represented some of the most popular R&B, pop, and country songs of the past 50 years."

"What’s up Daily Dish gals! I received a very important message from singer and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks. She’s teamed up with Staples and Do Something for a School Supply Drive and needs your help!

Jordin’s asking you to collect and donate school supplies at any Staples store from July 6th - August 31st. “There are so many kids in America that need school supplies that don’t have them, and all somebody has to do is donate,” Jordin says. “It’s so easy. I’m very excited to be involved with the Do Something 101 campaign and help motivate teens to get involved.”"

Jordin, who is currently out doing promo in Germany, talks about Katee and Joshua's dance routine to her hit song "No Air" in this week's USWeekly. 

“[Katee and Joshua] did a routine to my song, “No Air,” and it was crazy to see how they moved to it. It was beautiful and I totally saw the story. I got chills,” Sparks tells Us of the pair’s June 11 performance. “I played it 100 times!”

What’s it like for Sparks – who performed “No Air” on SYTYCD’s June 29 results show - to see American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe take a seat at the SYTYCD judging table? “So crazy!” she says. “We [got] to see him behind the scenes on Idol, but here he talks about so much more. With Nigel being the producer of Idol, he’d [tell us] 'How about you try walking here? Do a note here. A jig here.' He knows what he’s talking about [on both shows] and knows what looks good on TV.”

Here's a great review of the Red, White & Boom concert on Saturday, which Jordin appeared at! 

"And while David Cook may be the newly crowned potentate of the Idol kingdom, Jordin Sparks gave the RWB crowd a remarkable reminder of how she earned her reign a year ago at the age of 17. Bounding around the stage from the first beat to the last, you wouldn’t think that Sparks had just wrapped up what appeared to be (at least on paper) a rather grueling two-month tour with Alicia Keys. Backed by a tight three-piece, Sparks’ vibrant voice filled the amphitheatre to the brim with offerings of, among others, “Tattoo,” a short but powerful cover of Keys’ “Fallin,” and her signature hit “No Air.” On top of it all Sparks was graciously aware of her audience, reinforcing her reputation for being able to charm a crowd with not only her voice but an effusive personality as well."
