Jordin Sparks: Kentucky Derby Next Act for Daughter of Phillippi Sparks

Jordin Sparks to Open Kentucky Derby With National Anthem

It is going to be a great week for American Idol winner Jordin Sparks. The singer is set to open the 2011 Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 7th.

She will open up the celebration by singing the National Anthem. Sparks is no stranger to the bright lights of sporting events. Her father is former New York Giants cornerback Phillippi Sparks. Number 22 should be quite proud of his daughter.

She has carved quite the career for herself. Sparks has already released two albums since winning on the hit show, American Idol.

The hits keep coming for Jordin. She recently released a Twitter photo showing her new bikini body. As you can see, she is all set for summer.

It is a good thing she is in excellent shape. This summer will see her taking to the stage along the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys. NKOTB should be recognizable to her old man. They were rocking out when he was still playing ball. I doubt that was the locker room music though.

Before all of that excitement gets underway, Sparks will sing at the Kentucky Derby, the most fashionable party in sports.

Coverage starts live on NBC at 4pm ET. I will be watching to see what the new-look Jordin Sparks will be wearing.
