Jordin Sparks has revealed that she would love to perform on X Factor.

The former American Idol winner told ‘You Call The Hits’ on The Hits Radio: “We’ve been talking about it. I don’t know if it’s confirmed yet, so if I am it’ll be just as a surprise to you as it is to me.

“But I’m hoping – I’m trying to make that happen because I want to.”

She also wants to duet with former X factor winner Leona Lewis. She added: “I’ve met her a few times, she’s so sweet. For the past year I’ve been wanting to do something with her, so hopefully we’ll be able to make that happen soon.

“I was thinking about a female duet like the Whitney and Mariah thing, but definitely in our own way and our type of music. I would just love to do something like that.

“I don’t know if it’s going to happen now or maybe in a couple of years. I know she’s just finished up her second album which I’m really excited to go grab, so we’ll see what happens.”

Former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, has called the producers of the show ‘dumb’ for letting Paula Abdul go.

“It was dumb on American Idol’s part,” the winner of season six told us earlier today at 102.7 KISS-FM’s Teen Choice Awards gifting lounge. “I love American Idol and I respect them. It’s because of them that I got my start, but Paula was one of the original judges. She helped soften the blow for contestants when we didn’t do well. I love Paula.”

“The show will definitely not be the same without her, and I feel bad that future contestants will not get to experience having her on the show,” she continued. “I’m so sad.”

American Idol winner Jordin Sparks has admitted that she was bowled over when she first caught Susan Boyle’s Britain’s Got Talent audition on Youtube.

The Tattoo singer revealed that she wasn’t sure what to expect when she first heard about Boyle but came to support the ‘underdog’ after hearing her sing.

“I’m such a fan of Susan Boyle. I was hearing all this commotion about her, so I looked her up online,” she told The Sun.

“I thought one of two things, either she’s going to be really good or really bad. So when she opened her mouth and was amazing, the look on Simon Cowell’s face was priceless.”

She added: “The coolest thing was she walked out there just being her and everyone was like, ‘Yeah, right’.

“And then she opened her mouth and all of a sudden you saw everybody’s mood and attitude toward her change. Everybody loves an underdog story, especially me.”

Last years American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks has revealed that she used to have a crush on Simon Cowell…….didn’t we all?

While promoting her very average new single featured below, Sparks told Metro: “I think there was a time when I had a crush on Simon, but it was when I used to watch the show, not when I was on it.”

The singer added: “He’s very cute, but he’s already taken.”
