American Idol, Jordin Sparks pulls it off.

It has finally come to a close, and now America can move on to the drab and boring summer programming line-up. With the week of show finale's behind us, it has finally come time to surf the net and find out who won American Idol: the show for people with no apparent talent/marketability.

And it doesn't take long to find out that the winner is of course: Jordin Sparks, America's favorite Arizona Native.

So what of this beautiful win: will this wanna-be diva dive right into the pop scene and bust out a top selling album? Or will she fall by the wayside of Rueben Studdard, who is no-where to be seen.

Personally, I have been very disappointed in the artists produced by American Idol, save of course Carrie Underwood. It is not the career maker that everyone wants it to be. And this year is certainly no different. The show had it's moments, such as Paula dancing to all the pretty boys, Sanjaya finally getting sent home, and Blake Lewis (the first time he did the beat box thing, then it just got old). But as I sit and ponder the last few weeks, I keep thinking to myself, "I would never buy any of their albums".

I guess Simon really has his work cut out for him.
