Although she went home empty-handed Sunday at MTV's 25th annual Video Music Awards, Jordin Sparks shook up the scene at the Paramount Pictures lot with her heat of the moment defense of the Jonas Brothers after their decision to wear purity rings was mocked by host Russell Brand (who?) in his opening monologue.
Jordin was so upset by his remarks that she had to give her two cents when it was her turn to introduce T.I. alongside John Legend. Watch her response below:
The comeback has been receiving a lot of press and online buzz, mostly positive. On the awards front, Jordin's video for "No Air" lost out to Tokio Hotel's "Ready, Set, Go!" for Best New Artist and Britney Spears' "Piece of Me" for Best Female Video. Maybe next year, but it's not like it's a Grammy or anything.

VMA update: VotY is "No Air"-less
Although it seemed like a sure thing, the video for "No Air" did not make the final cut for the most coveted Video of the Year category for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. Jordin Sparks' duet with Chris Brown was slighted in order to make room for such "masterpieces" as Britney Spears' "Piece of Me" and The Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up."
Despite the non-nomination, "No Air" is still up for Best New Artist and Best Female Video, and is surprisingly the only Idol-related video on the ballot for the awards show.
The VMAs will air live on Sept. 7, 2008, at 9 p.m. on MTV. It will be hosted by Russell Brand.
