Back in 2007, Jordin Sparks made history as the youngest person to ever win American Idol. Just 17 years old at the time, the singer went on to release a platinum album and snag a Grammy nomination.
In a throwback interview with Fuse, Sparks recalled how inspiring it was to watch Kelly Clarkson light up the stage. "I was like, 'Mom, I wanna do that. I wanna be able to sing on a big stage in front of tons of people and be successful,'" she said.
