Why that part of that song? She sings the harmony part for God sakes! Someone hold me.
I guess the powers that be really want this show to close. Does Jordin Sparks even have a fan base? If Corbin couldn't sell out the theater (and for some reason I thought he would have), what are they expecting her to do?

Even if this show closed tomorrow it would close as a success with a little over 2 year run, a tour which is still in effect and a movie version which begins shooting early '11.
I'd say go see it before Corbin, Janet, and Chris Jackson leave as well...saw all three of them plus Gabrielle Ruiz as Vanessa and Bianca Marroquin as Daniela and had a great time.
And that ad is horrendous, I don't even have the words.

reminds me of the HiFi commercial.
The show is selling fine. It's breaking even almost every week and they won't close it before the movie comes out, that's just stupid.
Why couldnt they do a similar Commercial like Corbins?
Check it out. Its shorter and just awesome. Just my opinion. I mean it's better. What do you think?

At least the Corbin one looks like it wasn't filmed on someones video camera!
They could have at least put a treatment on it afterwards, maybe a slight sepia or something.
cheap cheap cheap.
Shame- she sounds great!
jordin sparks is not an actress. she has a nice voice and i'll giver her that much but she has no buisness on broadway
^ Agree!!
Remember this? Singing ok.. acting NOOOOOO!

I really miss the original Broadway cast of In The Heights!
they won't close it before the movie comes out, that's just stupid.
I doubt that. That is at least a year and a half away & I've heard a few shows are eying the theatre.
i completely agree with you! they were by far the best ones and now ppl r trying to do too much
Can she dance well enough?
It's a terrible and stupid ad. And why is she wearing a night gown?
i forgot about that video of her singing breathe. She sounds fine, nothing special... but her acting is ATROCIOUS (at least in this video).
The ad is horrible.

Behind the scenes on the commercial shoot.

HA.
The commercial is pure cheese, but Jordan has a great voice. And everyone slammed Corbin before he came in and then everyone loved him. Have we ever seen her act? How do we know she can't?
