| Jordin Sparks - Final 10 Show - Gwen Stefani Night |
| Jordin impresses Gwen Stefani with her rehearsal of No Doubt's 'Hey Baby'. Even though Gwen originally sang this song, she tells the 17-year-old "You made it sound so much more musical than I thought it was." Her main piece of advice is for Jordin to "get the booty goin' a bit". Jordin laughs and promises "I can do that". |
| Maybe Jordin had second thoughts because she doesn't put too many booty-shakes into her on stage routine, although she still gives it plenty of attitude. |
| At the start of the performance Jordin's lower register sounds slightly off, but her vocal is very strong for the rest of the song. |
| The panel are in 'No Doubt' that Jordin pulled it off tonight. |
- Randy Jackson's positivity delights Jordin, 'You'd be a great recording artist and that was brilliant!'
- Paula Abdul tells her "you're adorable...I love seeing you in this kinda mode".
- Simon Cowell proclaims Jordin as "probably the most improved contestant" over recent weeks, and says he's seeing another, younger and more confident side to her. He also throws in the only grain of negative commentary by saying he thought it was "a bit copycatish". Jordin chirps back "I wanted to do something fun and different, though". "Well you did" confirms Simon. "Yes, I did!" replies Jordin, with a cheeky laugh.
