Poll of the week: Sparks fly for Jordin

In the sixth installment of the debut album champion series for the IDOL LIVE poll of the week, Jordin Sparks' debut album decimated all competition. Jordin Sparks took home 47 of the total 67 votes, or an overwhelming 71%.

Surprisingly, Blake Lewis did not place second in the poll, rather his Audio Day Dream had to settle for third place with six votes (8%). Instead, Phil Stacey's debut self-titled album was runner-up with seven votes, or 10% of the poll's total take. No other album included in the poll was able to muster more than two votes.

Keeping up with Sarah Burgess

America's favorite "runaway" never made it past Hollywood during Season 6, but she has made the charts. Sarah Burgess was one of 173 contestants to make it to the all important Hollywood round for the sixth season after wowing the judges with her rendition of Blondie's "Call Me" and her sob story about her father stifling her passion for singing. Sarah has persevered, however, and her single "Dangerouz" is sitting at #33 on the ACQB Top 40 chart for the week of July 23, after peaking at #9 in June.

Sarah's debut album, One, is now out and is available at iTunes. To listen to "Dangerouz" in addition to other songs from her album, visit Sarah's official music MySpace page.

Since finishing her stint on Idol, Sarah has opened a show for Daughtry and is currently in the midst of a solo tour that ends Aug. 24.
