Jordin Sparks is new American Idol

Seventeen-year-old diva Jordin Sparks has won the 2007 American Idol contest.

She beat an older more offbeat male rival to win the television singing contest and become the youngest ever winner of the coveted title.

Sparks, who captured the hearts of viewers of the most popular US TV show with her bubbly personality and big voice, beat 25-year-old Blake Lewis.

It was a contest that was decided by a telephone vote in which record 74 million votes were cast.

In its sixth season, American Idol has grown from a cheesy summer talent competition into a cultural phenomenon that draws about 30 million viewers twice a week to the Fox network, owned by News Corp.
