Jordin Sparks goes home for the holidays

Just three days after the release of her self-titled debut CD, the Season 6 American Idol winner will light up her hometown of Glendale, Ariz.

Jordin Sparks is set to be the guest of honor, flipping the switch to turn on 1.5 million Christmas lights at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 23 in downtown Glendale. Jordin also will be the reader for the annual reciting of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Her dad, former NFL star Phillippi Sparks, was at this week’s announcement. He said he hopes his daughter also will sing, even though that’s not a guarantee, according to city officials.

In coordination with the celebration, the U.S. Post Office will offer free postcards of Jordin with a commemorative postmark to those in attendance.

Jordin’s debut, which already has produced a successful first single, Tattoo, also has been generating a good buzz in national media. The latest issue of Rolling Stone rates the debut at three and a half out of four stars. The CD will be released Tuesday, so you can judge for yourself.
