She said in New York "It makes me laugh. We went through this whole experience and it's like I can't even look at him that way,”

It isn’t just gossips tahts leading to the downfall to her newfound fame.

"I can't really go to the mall anymore," Sparks said. Even though she's tried everything to be able to go out in public and not get recognized including wearing hats and hoodies – she sticks out "like a sore thumb."

"Everybody sees my hair and then they see how tall I am they're like, 'There's Jordin, right there.'"

She isn’t complaining. "Everything is coming so fast. My life is just turned upside down. But I love it and I want to do it for as long as I can," she said.

The track ‘Tattoo, which describes the scar left when a relationship ends, was one of the first songs she considered for her debut album after winning Idol in May. "I didn't even get through the first chorus before I was like, 'I need to have this song!'"

Previous Idols Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood's Grammy-winning, multi-platinum successes have put pressure on the 17-year-old to make her own mark on the music world.

"They've risen the bar so high and I'm like, 'I hope I can reach it, I just really hope that when [my CD] comes out it'll be great and maybe as good as theirs. And hopefully it'll sell well and people will like it." she says.

Sparks's debut is due in November.
