One Step At A Time


One Step At A Time
Stepping Back When it comes down to the hopeful winners from American Idol, they've all recently made songs that just don't feel like they are songs that are definitive, which is very sad. For Jordin Sparks, she really needs to show that she can be more than just a singer, rather than just a mixed bag. Her latest single, One Step At A Time, the third single from her self-titled debut album, really doesn't feel like it is all inspiration. It just feels like words that just don't completely carry heart, unlike other recent R&B songs, like Alicia Keys with her hit Superwoman. While One Step At A Time does have a nice beat, it isn't enough to show that you walking in rhythm to the song. I think there needs to be better songs for Jordin to record, but there not really there one note at a time.
